Anna Nicole Smith's mom says drugs could have caused death (and Foul Play)
Reality TV World News ^ | 2/9/07 | Christopher Rocchia

Last October, Arthur told Britain's Sun newspaper that Daniel "didn't take an overdose. It was murder. The levels of drugs in his body are way too high. Someone has to pay."

That same month, she told CNN's Nancy Grace she was "suspicious" of Howard K. Stern, Smith's eventual husband who claims to be the father of Dannielynn. "I know that Daniel had a trust fund," Arthur told Grace. "If Howard marries [Smith] and Daniel's gone, that leaves Howard and the baby to inherit whatever money she has. ... If Howard Stern marries her and she ends up dead, then who does the money go [to]?"

I'm surprised the authorities are not putting 2 and 2 together. The mother sure did.

I am sure the authorities are considering this possibility. However they will need to keep this part of the investigation very quiet until if and when they have any evidence to support the suspicion.

If anybody
with any connection to
Anna Nicole Smith

attempted to add
2 and 2, they'd probably
trip and hurt themselves . . .

It's rather clear to me that ole Howie Stern, the lawyer that doesn't work ... ONLY wanted her money. Anna was the breadwinner for ALL of them. BUT with mega millions in the wings, why bother to put up with her? So he didn't. He murdered the kid through drugs and now his mother. He's getting away with murder not once but looks like twice. He was emboldened. Hope the baby doesn't have some "tragic accident" too ... . What's a man going to do with a baby that most likely is NOT his?

Yep. Pretty scary. Her death is a tragedy for those who loved her. Her 'husband' was not one of those. I'm hoping that her not-sanctioned-by-law marriage ceremony won't hold up in court. I never thought she deserved millions from the Marshall estate but I do hope that the baby is taken care of by people who love her.

I hope some judge will realize that the little girl is nothing but the means to a fortune to some folks and will intervene to give her the life she deserves.

She wasn't legally married to Stern according to what I've read. Therefore, he wouldn't be entitled to any of her money.

She refused to submit the baby to paternity testing which tells me that the baby isn't Stern's. Again, no money in it for him.

Then there is the fact that Anna Nicole's mom and half sister hadn't seen or spoken to her in a long time. How do they know what was going on? The book her half sister wrote trashes Anna Nicole and now the sister is playing up the heartbroken sister act in the media. The mom and sister are just as bad - if not worse - than those in Anna Nicole's inner circle.

Hmmmm, I wonder if she has traveled to Russia lately? Better check her with a Geiger counter.

"She refused to submit the baby to paternity testing which tells me that the baby isn't Stern's. Again, no money in it for him."

It appears that Howie's name is on the Birth Certificate as the father and according to Howie's lawyer, this trumps any blood relation in California.

He does get the money and he will refuse the paternity test.

Our family would take that little girl in a heartbeat - no money necessary. She needs a stable family who can make sure she doesn't fall into the same lifestyle her mom did.

Huckabee complains that the story is distracting from important things like the Presidential campaigns. Truth is this story is far more important than his campaign.

I wouldn't count on quick and prudent action in the custody battle. It's been five months since indepdendent pathologist Wecht blamed Daniel's death on methodone and other drugs, but authorities in the Bahamas haven't even gotten around to the inquest. Now there's another death, probably also related to methodone -- a drug usually taken only under close medical supervision.

Howard K. Stern went jurisdiction shopping, and found a country that seems unlikely to interfere with his plans. He seems to be well connected in the Bahamas.

"Howard K. Stern went jurisdiction shopping,"

That is another significant development in this story.

You've got it. This sounds a little like Thackeray's Barry Lyndon as presented by Stanley Kubrick in a movie I saw a few months ago on cable. Barry Lyndon is a Irish rake in the middle of the eighteenth century who hooks up with a rich woman whose elderly husband soon dies, enabling Barry to marry her. Unfortunately for Barry, she also has a ten year old son who's legitimate heir to the old man's title and fortune. Barry makes the huge blunder of neither winning the kid over nor eliminating him. As a result, the kid, once he becomes as adult, muscles Barry out of the family, gives Barry an offer he can't refuse, and sends Barry packing with a 500 pound per month pension.

I suspect Stern looked at Anna's family situation, especially the disturbing presence of 20 year old Daniel, who, between his drug binges, could see what Stern was, and decided to eliminate Daniel. Daniel, being a whacked out druggie, was a sitting duck for a lethal OD of any number of substances that could not be traced to Stern under circumstances where Stern couldn't raise a reasonable doubt about the drugs' provenance.

IMHO, having done Daniel so effectively, Stern then turned his attention to the even more drugged up and neurotic Anna and untraceably provided just the little bit of extra juice needed to bump her off. Now, if he's declared the baby's father or can produce a will that makes him Anna's beneficiary, he can cut a deal, settle Anna's lawsuit, and walk off with 20 or 30 million dollars.
