But Anna could've fought off Taz if she had to and escape. See i'm working under the supposition that this constant 24/7 vigilance around Anna was more captivity than protection.
Remember Anna wasn't allowed to get any phone calls or make any phone calls, take any visitors, etc unless they were authorized (and probably monitored) by Stern. She snuck out some text messages to Birkie. I wonder what happened to her cell phone once Stern found out about THAT!
Howard would have been giving the orders at that time with a: "Anna's fine. The girls will take care of her." I think Howard WANTED to implicate Mo....And that's why Mo never mentioned Brigitte. Howard made it "Hey, you and your wife were there. What the hell happened".
Kinda like the Daniel, Anna bed scene. "Geez, you were right by him. What did you do?"
Howard's a real crud and I hope his a** winds up in jail for the rest of his life.
I remember one thing that Brigitte said in an interview: "She passed peacefully".
