Celebrity Justice
Cops Have More Questions for Howard K. Stern

Howard K SternContrary to published reports, the investigation into the death of Anna Nicole's son is far from over.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the Attorney General of the Bahamas ordered police to re-interview Howard K. Stern regarding the painkiller methadone, and how it ended up in the late Daniel Wayne Smith's system.

Daniel died September 10 in his mother's hospital room, just days after she gave birth to a baby girl. An autopsy revealed that Daniel had a lethal combination of drugs in his system, including methadone and several antidepressants.

Sources in the Bahamas tell TMZ that Royal Bahamas Police interviewed Stern two weeks ago. It's not the first time Stern has been interviewed. Law enforcement sources say Stern and Anna Nicole were both interviewed several times after Daniel's death.

We're told that law enforcement officials will make a major announcement about the investigation by December 15.

46. Give the guy a break. He's a lovesick guy for a woman who probably doesn't deserve him. He wouldn't ever hurt Anna's son. Not a chance.

Hello,We do not like this any more than any of you. there are houses close to them,we have to hear them we have to see them we wish we could get Howard S and Anna S out of the islands all the Islands! but we have to let the dectectives do their job right so that no one can claim prejudise or the case was rushed.Where I work we get calls and I just promise you we feel just like you and want the baby to be away from them in safe home. we wish the USA courts in california state would also go faster to take the baby/ Here remember it is much differenet and we have to make arrest when we have everything right and baby is safe OK you can see our messages on our website we are the same and care about all babies

48. I hope that Daniel will one day rest in peace. Anna go back to Texas to your mother and forget all this trash you have been involved in all these years.

49. Paula #46 how can you be sooo sure? There were only Daniel, Danilynn ANS & HSK in the room at the time, per THEIR discription of what happened that day. Also why did ANS scream at him about it being his fault? WTF was that about?

You'd be suprised what people would do for $$$$ or "love". The news is full of stories where people have killed for these things or less. Course to do so when the public eye is always on you is stooooooopid! I had a neighbor stabbed for the tv remote! Go figure!!!

50. Paula, I beg to differ. Howard K. Stern resembles a typical narcissistic sociopath. Many lawyers and cops are narcissists. He has a criminal mind. He can lie, stone-faced. Offing Daniel was mere "strategy" to him. He had to get Anna out of the U.S. for his own benefit, as well as Anna's. He wanted to play house and the baby was the ticket to the PERMANENT money. Anna needed to have her baby in a hospital that was less likely to check the baby's drug levels when she was born to an obvious junkie. Birkhead would have done her in in the States, so Howard was correct on that. Birkhead was placating her, but she bailed. He always planned on taking her baby. In fact, he's probably a gold-digger at his core: TWO pregnancies with a known junkie! However, Howard didn't tell Anna that he moved her in order to alienate her and keep her so drugged she couldn't separate fantasy from reality. Howard saw that Birkhead wasn't going away so he had to ramp-up the strategy. Howard probably had Anna convinced that he would only O.D. Daniel enough to make him sick and hospitalized (deflecting from the custody battle and garnering sympathy) - and she believed it. That's why she knew, immediately, that Howard had done it, yet she hadn't expected Daniel to die. Howard has her convinced that they have woven the tangled web together - and they have. Only one had worse intentions than the other. One is a murderer and one is a willful accessory. Howard KNEW what an 800% dosage of methadone would do. And he's got Anna in the palm of his hands. She's a negligent, horrible excuse for a mother.

51. Okay, you know if it was any of us someone would already have been arrested. ANS needs to screw her head on and go into treatment and dump Howard. Everybody better hope that baby is still alive by the time anyone gets to her. These two are completely nuts and are capable of anything. GET THAT BABY OUT OF THERE!!! She will end up just like Daniel or worse because at least he had several years away from his crazy mother. ANS should allow the real father and her mother to see this child. What kind of mother tries to keep her child from their grandparents unless they are just evil which I don't think is the case.

52. Look I do not want to get in any kind of f`ing DNA debate I see the news I read the papers, it is so obvious that baby Dannilynn,needs to be in the hand of somone who loves and will care for her.I do not care a thing about DNA, It takes much more than DNA to make up a mother or father! Why do they need DNA when it is so damn obvious that Howard K Stern and Anna Nicole are the biggest grifting con people on the planet! Nothing stops them not even that baby girl.If I knew how to find them I would march up to that house and give them a piece of my mind.I honestly do not know how they got this far and personally I would not care, if it were not for the baby.Now with that said how can we get ahold of social services HERE and THERE! Anyone have a Jet plane I will do just as I said any person willing to take me can vido tape it and keep the footage.Ask anyone that knows me I WILL DO IT! I am in the book Dr Phil We Need You .

53. #43, Whether ANS had liposuction or not she didn't lose that weight from TrimSpa. Has anyone listened to 'Howard Stern Radio Show' archive tapes? Anna's was a guest on more than one occasion and Howard pushed her to drop the weight. Crazy Cabby told her to use TrimSpa because at the time he was their spokesperson , Anna didn't want anything to do with it. That was back when it contained ephedra.
There was a lot of talk on that show about her weight loss and possible drug issues, Howard Stern DJ does not hold back.
That relationship has severed.

Remember in the Laci Peterson case, how Law Enforcement Officials announced on several different occasions, that they were going to make an announcement on such and such a date?
They know what they are doing, but that date announcement, I find to be frustrating...JUST GET ON WITH IT!

THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH MATTER...URGENT!

54. Saw it on TVThey have to wait till after court in Los Angelas to make any arrests,The devil is in the details thye are working around the clock and with the U S needs first to get the child.They are worried about another chid be hurt or worse,
.if you have never been there you would not know that they are just not set up for all the media from around the world that will be coming in The other countries will first name media groups then the Bahamas goverment must meet with them to try and work a deal concerning the number of groups they are saying if arrests are made.They really do not want the circus like other trials here. OJ and Michale Jackson combined is what they say.

Yes they should of settled up with Ben moved on and did the right thing when that boy oh hers died it doen`t take no 40 days to burry a child. People saw her and him out on that boat it was just discusting with chapagne.When the News came on tonite I said I knew it.I may skip the season this year with all those people still I am glad they will be out of there soon,I do not think anyone has taken such advatage of so many GOOd people in such a short time,
.

I know many people there but I have not gone over there since the boy died. i have talked many times and i will tell you everyone no matter where they come from want them gone or in prison. they should of left Ben Thompsons house when they could.You just do not know how much those people stick together and protect people they care about like Bem.

55. I just knew the two of them had something to do with Daniel's death. May they both burn in hell.

Daniel is finally in a better place. He now has someone to watch over him and make sure he is loved and protected.

Next thing they have to take that baby girl away from these two space cadets or God forbid what might happen to this innocent child. Innocent, just like her half-brother.

Anna and Howard, I wish them nothing but the worse. They have tried to scam everyone and everything. What you do onto others come right back at you.

I said from day one, Howard and Anna were somehow involved. The truth will come out. May the two of them rot to death.

56. Post # 43 A.J. : Hello . You little pot stirer you !!!!! Ha ha Lol.............In response to your question about " if they were going press charges than why haven't they done so and why would they wait until Dec 15th ? "

Sometimes it takes MONTHS ......even years to gather all the evidence needed to prosecute someone for a crime. When the crime involves a " celebrity " officials take even more precaution before proceeding .Those cases are known for being very challanging because of the notoriety of the subject. They are scrutinized much more than if it were someone who was unknown.


They won't make an announcement on what they will be charging them with......if anything.....until THEY ARE 100 % sure they have missed nothing. It's evident that that NASSAU isn't equiped for a high profile case like this. I'm surprised they have not sent for some kind of outside help.

POst # 27 and #29 # 44 DIego Chick : I have seen your blogs on another ANS aubjects on TMZ. YOu are right on track here. I pretty much agree with everything you have said. Keep on commenting. You are contributing an " opinion " that makes total sense in this forum.

57. Post #52-Jamie N Lee, Since you have had personal experience with Dr. Phil, have you asked for his help in this matter? Maybe he would be interested knowing he would be saving a child's life.

I believe that your intentions are good, but they need a whole lot more than a good talking to.

Contact Dr. Phil...you have nothing to loose, and you might help save Dannielynn's life.

58. I cant wait to see what the big announce will be on the 13th. I am sure that we will all be surprised. So many things have been said about what has happened. We will never know the real truth. Only those that were involved will know. I wonder if ANS money will be able to get him out of the trouble this time. I doubt it because this time she is going to turn on him. She dont need him anymore. All of them will get what they deserve one day. ONE DAY!

59. I know where howard`s parents live when i heard the news I drove past and it look like someone was headed there way with som food.those people are real nice. Makes you wonder what went wrong with him if he was like that before he met her? She is just nothing but dirt.a bad seed but him you would think he would of known better because he is a lawyer.The neighbors have been watching this all and it is just so sad. I am Glad it is not in our neighbor hood.
