First on cbs this morning, investigators tell 48 hours they now have a person of interest in the mysterious death of Actress Natalie wood. In november 1981 the Rebel Without a cause star drowned. It was initially rule and accident but in 2011 the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department reopened the investigation. Correspondent Erin Moriarty has more. They reveal new leads in the hollywood mystery for the first time. Reporter in life natalie wood was one of the biggest film stars imaginable. A child star on miracle on 34th street and then Rebel Without a cause and gypsy. Im gypsy rose lane. Reporter but its her mysterious death that keeps her legend alive. In 1981 she was out sailing with her husband actor Robert Wagner. Her costar Christopher Walken and her captain when she mysteriously disappeared from the yacht. I remember people coming on the boat saying they had found natalie wood floating. I just couldnt believe it. Reporter natalies death was quickly ruled an accidental drowning. But rumors and allegations of foul play remachblt the captain claims there was a terrible fight between natalie and wagner outside on the back of the boat that night. I believe that Robert Wagner was with her up until the moment she went into the water. Reporter 30 years later in 2011. Devern and over seven others signed a petition asking the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department to take a new look. The case was reopened. Lieutenant corina and Ralph Hernandez have been doggedly working it since. Have you gotten more evidence that makes you question whether this is an accident . We have. We believe theres a lot more to it than we were being told. Reporter they werent alone. A medical examiner changed the manner of death from accidental to undetermined. Kwhie are all these bruises suspicious to you . Because she looked like the victim of an assault. Reporter and for the first time investigators say they have corroboration for daverns story about the fight. When the case was reopened, two new witnesses from a neighboring boat came forward claiming that not only heard the fight. One says she saw it. Saw figures in the back of the splendor recognizing the voices as Robert Wagner and natalie wood arguing in the back of the boat. Reporter investigators still dont know how natalie wood got in water, but lieutenant corina has his suspicions. Do you believe natalie wood was murdered . I think its suspicious enough to think something happened. I dont think she got into the water herself or fell into the water. Reporter and they have questions on Robert Wagners accounts of that nate. Do you believe what he said is true . I havent seen it and the evidence doesnt add up to what weve found. Reporter when the case was reopened Robert Wagner was not a suspect. We asked if that has changed . I think hes more of a person of interest now. We know now he was the last person to be with natalie before she disappeared. Robert wagner declined 48 hours request for an interview. Remember when this was a huge story. She was a big deal. Help us understand about Robert Wagner. Whats the difference between a person of interest and a suspect. He has never been a sprpt and is not now. What he is a person of interest. Theyre calling it that for the very first time because they believe this is a suspicious death and they gather he was the last person to see her alive. They also say his accounts over the years just dont match the evidence theyve gathered and the witnesses. I think the biggest example is what i mentioned in the piece. Wagner said they did not have a fight before she disappeared and for a long time it was just the ships captain who said it. Now geerts say they have two witnesses who claim they heard the fight and one with witness says she saw it. His story has changed over the years. Initially there was broken glass from a wine bot the salon. He told investigators it was broken because of rough waters. Later he admitted as part of a fight inside the salon. Do you have any understanding why theyre coming forward now . It was called an accident. According to investigators, they thought it wouldnt help. Why one has credibility specific look i on a friday night, one witness say the fight the night before. He said it was Natalie Natalie wood being the aggressor, and she fell on her knee and sure enough in the a autopsy report theres a bruise on her knee. So they find these new accounts acceptable and credible. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, erin moriari moriarity. You can see erins report at 10 00 p. M. , 9 00 central right here on cbs.

Good morning im we are tracking major delays for drivers going through the south bay, this is on 101 heading northbound, all due to an injury crash involving a motorcycle. All lanes have cleared, but still activity out on the Center Divide and travel times continue to climb in that red. They are traveling below 15 miles per hour. It is pretty heavy around 280, 85, and 87. 101, traffic is moving along just fine, but we are tracking a closure just north of there. It is closed due to a deadly accident. We are looking at the sun glowing out there, and just a few high thin clouds. Temperatures are fairly warm for this hour, temperatures in the 40s and 30s, and it looks like the high temperatures today will reach the 70s later on. It is going to be a pretty nice day, and expect a very warm weekend ahead as we have a High Pressure building all over california. Good morning to our viewers in the west. Its thursday, february 1st, 2018. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Ahead, former white House Homeland Security adviser Fran Townsend on the rifts of revealing a classified congressional memo about surveillance techniques and the dating app that a court found discriminates against older users. Rikki klieman talks about whether tinder has justification to require people over 30 to pay more. Heres todays eye opener at 8 00. A high stakes battle over a classifieded memo on the russia investigation is exploding into open conflict. Republicans are pushing back on that contention from congressman schiff that this memo was significantly altered. One congressman who was hospitalized has been released but an aide to paul ryan is being treated. One of the Largest Health systems in the country and now its imcomplimenting a oneofakind bioSurveillance System to combat the deadly influenza outbreak. Sentencing focuses on nassars abuse of three girls in another county. Over the neck few days at least 60 victims are expected to give impact statements. Megan barry and a Police Sergeant assigned to protect her both said they did not violate laws and calls the affair a mistake. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders live streamed his response to the state of the union and surprisingly the 76yearold man had problems with the computer. His live stream went down for several minutes and replaced bay screen saying well be back momentarily. A picture of the Capitol Building with a technical difficulties message, little on the nose. Im gayle king with Norah Odonnell and John Dickerson. Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are now accused of changing a classified memo after voting to make it public. The fourpage memo from Committee Chairman devin nunes claims there was inappropriate surveillance of the Trump Campaign by the fbi and the Justice Department. The committees top democrat congressman adam schiff claims gop staffers secretly altered the text before giving it to white house lawyers. Paula reid is at fbi headquarters in washington. Paula, good morning. Good morning. We dont know if the president has actually reviewed this memo yet or which version he received. Now republicans say the changes that were made were minor edits including some grammatically fixing and two changes requested by the fbi. But democrats refute that and say the changes were not minor and demanding that this memo be withdrawn and that the committee be allowed to revote on whether this new, altered memo should be released. Norah . Paula, detail why the Justice Department is worried about this memo getting out . Ive talked to sources inside the fbi and Justice Department, folks who have served multiple administrations and its pretty consistent across the board, they all believe that this is part of a thinly veiled attempt to undermine mueller by trying to focus attention on federal investigators and federal Law Enforcement as the real scandal. Because remember this memo focuses on Deputy Attorney general rod rosenstein. He is overseeing the Mueller Probe and he has final approval on any charges that are brought. So if you can undermine him, you ultimately undermine the outcome of the mueller investigation. John . All right. Paula, thanks. Cbs News Senior National security analyst Fran Townsend served 13 years in the Justice Department, Homeland Security adviser to president george w. Bush. Fran, good morning. Good morning. In terms of what the fbi is saying here at one point there were questions about whether sources and methods in the intelligence would be revealed and then the fbi said after looking at the memo the fbi said we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact. Is the fbi saying that sources and methods are in danger or just that the memo has Bad Information in it . Its both. What theyre saying is both. They are concerned about sources and methods, part of that, john, is for them to rebut what is the contents of the nunes would require them to reveal sources and methods. Their hands are tied. We have to remember the nunes memo is an advocacy piece, not a fact piece. Chairman nunes summary of what he believes the abuses are, but its for that reason, its one sided. My understanding from sources inside the fbi director wray is prepared if the white house decides to release the memo director wray is prepared to issue a rebuttal. The question is what will that contain and does that tee up a confrontation between the white house and the fbi. Thats exxroerdoerds, the fb director may release an alternative memo, why would they want to do that and whats the importance of that . Theyre under fire and in fairness to the fbi, i mean, what theyre they feel under siege, this is the tearing down of a respected institution. Look, institutions are made of people, right, and people make mistakes. Im not suggesting theyve never made a mistake. But, understand what this process is. I ran this unit in the Justice Department that got this fisa warrant. There is multiple internal reviews in the fbi, theres a legal review at the Justice Department goeshgs to the attorney general or in this case the deputy who reviews it and then an independent federal judge who looks at it. No fisa warrant relies on a single piece of evidence. If the allegations from chairman nunes they relied on the steele dossier thats not possible. There would have been multiple pieces of evidence. In other words one partisan or bad apple inside cannot make a fisa warrant become call it surveillance. Thats exactly right. It doesnt work that way. And i think, you know, look, if chairman nunes wants to have his memo released i dont understand if hes confident why wouldnt you release adam schiff the democrats response to that and have it all out there then. The White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders has said that president has confidence in the fbi director and the rank and file. But you know when youre a little kid and your mom says actions speak louder than words do the president s actions tell a different story about the confidence he has in the fbi. My mother used to say, i dont like the act but i love the person. I mean its possible that president respects chris wray director of the fbi but disagrees with some of the actions there. But i do think that this acrimony, public acrimony only benefits our adversaries. The president and the fbi will have to find a path forward where they can Work Together and its not clear theyre doing that. Can you give us context on mccabe . There is these reports they delayed after seeing the renew badge of Hillary Clinton batch of Hillary Clinton emails they delayed before handing it over to congress. Department of justice, fbi procedure to be sensitive about things that might affect the outcome of an election. If there was a delay is that sinister or the normal prudence and caution they would have taken. Youre right. There is Justice Department internal guidelines not to take public action that may affect the outcome of an election when you get close. My understanding here from sources inside the fbi was initially they believed there might have been as many as 600,000 emails, some of which may have been classified and there would have had to have been a process to review that. We know now there werent that many. You can understand them treading cautiously and legally frankly and did they need to get a warrant, additional search warrants to touch those emails and review them. Were they classified. So look, i think we shouldnt attribute malice where it might have just been bureaucratic caution. There is we always hear about public fatigue but this is important what is happening and we need to get to the bottom of it. Thank you. Always good to have you here. Thank you so much. A north Korean Defector praised by President Trump during his state of the Union Address is talking about the cruelty of the regime in pyongyang. He traveled thousands of miles on crutches across asia to find freedom. His father was caught trying to escape and tortured to death. Ji shared his story with david martin. Translator the conditions while i was growing up in north korea were like hell. I saw tens of thousands of people die out of hunger and i still get haunted by the face of those people who died. I really came to the sole conclusion that north korea is no longer a hospitable nation. What did it mean to be the guest of the president at the state of the union . Translator it was my absolute personal honor and i really was moved because i was not only a defector from north korea, but i had this ability and i once lived as a beggar, but now, i am in the capital of the united states, as a guest to President Trump.

Tinder left people find potential matches swiping their phones. A swipe right means youre interested and a swipe left youre not. Anyone can use the free option but the app introduced a peoplium service in 2015 called tinder plus which has extra features starts at 9. 99 for users younger than 30 but people 30 and over are charged 19. 99 for the same service. An Appellate Court in california ruled the price structure is discriminatory. Legal analyst Rikki Klieman is here. Good morning. Good morning. Number one, i didnt know people older than 30 are using the app but, explain the legal i suppose we might at this table all be surprised about how many people over the age of 30 are using it. But what the california Appeals Court says is clear and simple. They say this is discrimination in pricing based on age. And why is that illegal in california . California is the broadest antidiscrimination statutes and what it says is this, you cans change your age. Your age is you. Its the same as a sexual or jentation or gender or race. And the assumption you make more money than someone under 30 and that, therefore, you have more ability to pay is too big an assumption. Its too much of a personal characteristic that is generalized because there are people who are exceptions to the rule. What does tinder say in response . Tinder had a very good argument. You have to remember that tinder won in the trial court on the paperwork. This was in essence a motion to dismiss that the lawyers call a demurer. That in the trial court tinder wins, why, because tinder says look, we did market based research and we have a legitimate basis to say that there is a reason that people have more disposable income after the age of 30. And the trial court agreed. The Appellate Court said youre wrong under the act. But theres Companies Like spotify and hulu they offer discounts for younger customers. Whats the its fascinating. Remember this ruling is only right now in california. Its not all over the united states. But, it is something to look at. You can have, obviously, student discounts, you can have tiered pricing like we all look at perhaps our Cable Systems your can have a bronze, silver or gold membership. You pay more. Early bird specials. Senior citizens and get to go to the movies for less money. Senior citizens and children, there are laws that protect them. We want to give our seniors discounts and we do assume they have less disposable income. Will tind ver to change their pricing structure now . If tinders stays where this ruling is they must change regarding over 30. Tinder can appeal to the highest court in california and there is contrary case law which echos norahs question about health clubs. They would be wise to appeal. Ultimately this is a case where this court was very firm and its based in the law. You have to see that if you dont have an overriding Public Policy like a senior or a child or a student, want to encourage education, you may be out of luck. To my knowledge nobody at this table has used tinder. Its good to know for other people that do. John, have you used tinder . Gayle, ive been married for 23 years. There werent iphones back then.
