Some here have compared him to Scott Peterson.....and we had a murder here - yes in Durham, NC - by another husband of his wife who tried to make it look like she fell down stairs and died from that when it was proven in court he beat his wife over the head til she died - in order to get her MONEY.....another Peterson murder. (different first name)
******
I followed that case almost daily on Court TV. Last I heard some of Michael Peterson's friends claimed a giant owl had come into the house and killed his wife. Unreal, but true. It seems truth in many of these cases, is truly stranger than fiction.
Part of a review from back in 2002 of The Anna Nicole Show... (this part is how the reviewer describes Stern)
To be perfectly fair, Anna Nicole is not committing this crime against television by herself. Her accomplices on the show include people with personality quirks so profound they are worthy enough to be "Seinfeld" secondary characters. Leading the way of her supporting cast of crazies is her overtly "flamboyant" interior designer, Bobby Trendy, who, if he were a character creation instead of a real person, would cause the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation to start an uprising that would make the 1992 Los Angeles riots look like a letter-writing campaign. Coming in a close second is Anna Nicole's sycophant of a lawyer and best friend Howard K. Stern, who would submit to having his testicles removed and surgically attached to his earlobes if Anna Nicole wanted him to.
all of it is here...

The issue here is that we have much more obvious evidence that HKS assisted in the "murder" / death of Anna Nicole than we ever had in what we knew (at first) about Scott Peterson or about Michael Peterson or we had about many of the husband-murder wives cases that seem to dominate our news so awfully.
The additional thing we have is the death of her son. We have a witness saying ANS screamed out "you did this" - and who else could she be screaming at but Howard K Stern??? We have an inquest into that son's death. The friend of ANS said Daniels body had 20 times the amount of methadone in his body than was necessary to kill Daniel....(she said this last night). The EVIDENCE of foul play is so strong it stinks to high heaven!
Yet we have a police chief in Seminold County immediately saying "there was no evidence of oul play" - why? because they had interviewed the people there when ANS died!
All this other mess - the body and even the custody of the baby - would change really quickly if SOMEBODY in authority treated HKS as a potential MURDERER instead of as a potential FATHER of that baby!!!!
