Anna Nicole Murder Charge Shocker! Is creepy lover Howard K. Stern GUILTY?
With Anna Nicole finally laid to rest in a Bahamas graveyard, leading LE experts believe that murder charges may soon be filed against the tragic beauty's longtime lawyer and lover, Howard K. Stern.
Intensive investigations continue into the shocking deaths of both Anna Nicole, 39, and her son, Daniel, 20, who succumbed to a drug overdose in her Bahamas hopistal room in Sept.
And stunning allegations have been leveled against Stern, including:
*He kept Anna Niocle drugged and brainwashed for his benefit.
*He got doctors to supply drugs to her outside proper channels.
*He flushed drugs down the toilet in Anna Nicole's Bahamas house following Daniel's death.
Former FBI special agent in charge Ted Gunderson tells Globe, "Daniel dies and Howard K. Stern is there. Anna Nicole dies and Howard K. Stern is there. What kind of bad luck does this guy have? If I saw him on my plane, I'd parachute out the window."
Gunderson notes that, "After Daniel died, Anna Nicole's mother cried on TV and warned her, "Be very careful about who you hang around with, because you may be next."
The former agent adds that Stern was not only in the wrong place at the wrong time TWICE, but might also have a motive for killing the busty beauty.
"Some who might have given Stern the benefit of the doubt about Daniel might think twice now that there are two deaths - especially with a huge fortune hanging in the balance and Stern set up as executor of the estate."
John O'Quinn, attorney for Anna Nicole's mom Virgie, points out yet another reason why Stern could benefit from the blond beauty's death.
"I've been told that were seven life insurance policies on Anna Nicole and the beneficiary was her son - and the alternative beneficiary is Stern," says O'Quinn. "I'm told they were paid up and in full force. This is all about money."
"There are several people who claim to have witnessed Stern encouraging Anna Nicole's drug dependence," notes Gunderson. "Her personal assistant, Nathan Collins, says he saw her swallow handfuls of pills at a time and inject herself. Stern not only knew about and approved of her drug intake, but Collins claims he saw Stern inject a strong sedative called Phenergan into her backside."
"If Stern gave Anna drugs that weren't prescribed for her, famed pathologist Dr. Michael Baden tells Globe that he could still face murder charges even if Anna Nicole's Feb. 8 death at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel In Florida turns out to be a drug-related accident."
Amen to that.
