Do you know anything about the PI (investigator ?) that has been interviewed on many shows? Daniel was wanting to hire him to check out people around his Mom. He seems pretty legit, just saw him again on Showbiz Tonight.
His card was found in Daniels pockets (guess Howie didn't search his pockets that closely) and the Bahamian police flew to California to interview him. I think he's legit, especially since they went to him instead of vis-versa.
