Actually, it was Larry who said it in an interview (with ET, natch) that was shown today - but taped a while back, I think.
He said that Anna *told* him that "some of her drugs were missing" "after Daniel and some of his friends" had been at their house in CA.
OK. First of all, ANS was just as co-dependent on Daniel as she was on HKS and everyone else who allowed it. She wouldn't have liked any friends Daniel had and she especially wouldn't have liked him liking school as much as he did, because she hated it so much. His going to college had to be a big panic for her.
So, she already didn't like the situation of Daniel starting to be independent from her. Then, when he found a girl friend - and it sounded like he started dating her *after* mom went to Myrtle and the Bahamas - you could see and hear the sneering in ANS's face and voice when she said his antidepressants were needed "because of some girl."
And, maybe the new friends really were a "bad crowd" as Kimmie said ANS said - maybe they really did steal some of her drugs. Did they steal them and ingest them for a high? Were these kids druggie thugs? Or did they steal them to sell them and make some spending money?
Do we think Daniel was the one who took the "missing" drugs for one of those reasons? To get high or to get money? Don't know - we know she didn't ever have a whole lot of money to go around and may have been a tightwad with him, to teach a celeb kid a good lesson - or to keep more for herself.
The flip side of all that is that ANS may very well NOT have had any drugs missing. She was perfectly capable of lying about it - but LB wouldn't think so. Or, she may have done some of her double-dosing and was so out of it she didn't even know that the missing drugs went down the hatch inside her body.
And lastly, it's possible she was selling some of them off for extra money and had to lie about them being "stolen" so she could get more. I always felt she didn't lose that $2 million worth of jewels from JHMII, either - they blamed it on a bodyguard who was a convicted felon. I thought they staged it together and got the insurance money and they're probably back in her jewelry box at Gerlene Gibson's house as we speak.
It could also be that Daniel took them and disposed of them thinking he could get her off the dope.
Isn't it at least possible Daniel took the drugs to deprive his mother of her supply?
