This is very odd.
KING: Big Moe remains with us. He's in Washington.
And now we're joined in Ft. Lauderdale by Patrik Simpson and Pol Atteu, friends and frequent business associates of Anna Nicole Smith, spent a great deal of time with her and Howard Stern at the Bahamas' mansion. In fact, their daughter -- they are a couple -- their daughter, Shelby, sang at Daniel's funeral.
Patrik, how did you come to meet and know Anna Nicole?
PATRIK SIMPSON, SMITH'S FRIEND: Well, Larry, I met Anna through Pol. She was friends of Pol for several years, about eight years. And when we first got together, Anna needed to approve of me and our relationship. And so Pol took me up the house to meet her.

And also later:
ATTEU: So I took that opportunity to go into the Bahamas and, you know, take care of Dannielynn, make sure everything was going to be, you know, properly administered there as the way Anna and Howard would have liked. And since I was familiar with the house, familiar with the neighborhood, familiar with everybody there in the Bahamas, I left immediately.
Upon arrival, all I could do is -- I was on the street for four hours. And the only house that I knew that I've always resided at when I came to the Bahamas, being welcomed in by Howard and Anna both, I was locked out of.
And Ford Shelley and his family was in there. And obviously I didn't know what was going on until I was able to get the proper documentation to be able to get back into the house, and changed the locks, and the keys, and I was devastated that what I saw firsthand, knowing that the house was gone through...
I wonder what documentation Atteu got that allowed him to get into a house that he had absolutely no claim to?
ummmm...good catch. LK certainly missed it if he didn't follow up but then I've seen him miss a lot. It's as if he has this list of questions he has got to get through and never mind a real interview. I betcha Gretchen wouldn't have let that one fall through the cracks.
So does Atteu really own that house?

Would like to know more about this Pol guy.
