I have to go run errands and will be gone until late today but here are some of my thoughts.
What is the truth?
That is the question that has kept us so intrigued about this case and the characters involved.
Is HKS a greedy and clever psychopath that had to kill Daniel and ANS because his grip and control over her was slipping? Was he afraid that if she got sober that she would remove him as she had so many others before him?
Did HKS have extensive “dirt” on ANS? Was he blackmailing her to retain control?
Or, as the members if the ANS have parroted did HKS “love” ANS and was she the “center of his universe and reason for living”? Was ANS unhinged and HKS kept her functioning and alive by his management of her career and drug addiction? Did dealing with her over a decade drive him to the brink and drug use and partying and ultimately the carelessness that killed her?
The facts are that the people who know many of the answers have a dog in this fight. There is a lot of money being spread around to various parties who have vested interests. The truth may never come out just as many other mysterious deaths have remained shrouded in mystery.
The carnival of bizarro characters that surrounded ANS have allegience to HKS... I doubt that is by accident. HKS shut out those he didn’t control. Big Moe said some damaging things and the next thing you know he is hiding somewhere and then announces he is writing a book! Now what happened to that privacy agreement he signed when he began “not working” for ANS but became her good friend? I would say it must have become “lost” and is now nowhere to be found and this book has HKS’s blessing. In fact, Big Moe is reported to have “loaned” money to HKS out of his book advance.
How many other privacy agreements will be “lost” in order to get the continued support of ANS “friends” that know what the day to day relationship was between HKS and ANS?
The nannies were there day and night and have damaging statements that there was friction between HKS and ANS but they may be discredited. While that is damaging ANS even said in interviews that they fought a lot like brothers and sisters. ANS was not easy to get along with as we all know and evidence can be presented by HKS that she even hallucinated while high. There are many stories of ANS thinking that demons were under her bed and would get her if she stepped onto the floor and demons having sex in the sky and other bizarro things. She was a mentally ill woman and a total drug addict... so whatever she believed may have been skewed.
LB knows a LOT... and he and HKS were bitter enemies when HKS was keeping him from his child. But then either through premeditated murder or extreme irresponsibily/carelessness on the part of HKS ANS died.
The death of ANS opened a brand new door for LB that actually has changed his life dramatically. He always wanted Hollywood and a career there and now is he extremely famous and hugely popular. He now is certain to get custody of the child whom he hoped to eventually get visitation only!
LB will become extremely wealthy from all of this. His child will become even more wealthy. None of this would have happened if ANS hadn’t died. Had ANS lived it was a lifetime of conflict with her over this child and visitation and the usual nastiness that estranged couples have over children.
Is LB being practical that he isn’t going to be part of a witch hunt to hang HKS if he doens’t stand in his way with the child? Is it possible that he truly believes it was an accident on HKS’s part and he doesn’t blame him for her death now? He did at one time because he voiced it on an interview...
So...what is the truth and will we ever know it completely?
I doubt it very seriously but I hope I am wrong and somehow, some way the inquest goes forth and a smoking gun is found with HKS’s fingerprints on it. Right now it looks pretty good that he will skate and actually become a weaththy man in his own right through his connection with ANS’s estate.
You’re right - that’s how things look right now. And, if that does transpire, that Stern does not have to face the questions that he should face re: Daniel’s death (that should reopen questions about Anna’s death which he and KE should have to answer - in court) - well there is a court in the next life from which Stern cannot escape.
LB will become extremely wealthy from all of this. His child will become even more wealthy.
You have expressed what I feel, in great discomfort! Especially the first paragraph.
I do think that that's the way it is and will be. I hope we're wrong but I don't think so. He was attracted to Anna for a reason. He also is getting everything he could ever dream about.
Dannielynn needs no trust fund- to me that's just a chimera (smoke and mirrors) Her father could take care of her just like any ordinary loving dad, by working by the sweat of his brow. I'm not seeing a solid guy here.
Damn!
On the other hand I can understand the papa that says, well I gotta make sure my baby gets the best. Well, still, I think that that father would just work harder, so she would be proud of him. Instead of taking the easy money.
I can understand about taking the dough if you are dirt poor, but I don't understand if you are making a living. A trust fund, then, seems redundant, cause, can't daddy provide?
