Anna's Mom Meets with Bahamian Police

TMZ has obtained exclusive photos of Anna Nicole Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, on her way out of a Bahamian police station just hours after she arrived in the Bahamas.

Arthur scheduled the emergency trip to the islands to "check all her options" in the custody battle over her granddaughter, Dannielynn -- this according to a close family friend who is currently on the trip.

According to our source, "Virgie is very concerned for the safety and well-being of her granddaughter. The man who has custody of Dannielynn (Howard K. Stern) was with her daughter and grandson Daniel when they died ... under mysterious circumstances. All she cares about is the welfare of the baby."

Virgie's arrival in the Bahamas was first reported by the TV show "EXTRA."

91. I agree with Vader. You obviously don't have a kid. Also, to Miapocca, what do you mean 'he's making a spectacle of himself?" THIS COULD BE HIS CHILD YOU IDIOT!!! I would be freaking out too if I had to see what my baby looked like from a television show because some FREAK was holding it hostage!!!!

93. She is the last person that should get this baby for whatever the reason, Anna did not like her mother on bit and let us know this. Arthur should not be able to get this baby. This would not be Anna's wishes, I believe Arthur just see $$$$$$$ signs.

94. I wish her blood sucking despicable so called mother would stop slandering her dead daughter! To me as a mother, Virgie is a disgusting media whore and makes Anna look like a saint in comparison. She needs to crawl back into the hole from which she slithered out of. Shame on you Virgie! N o wonder Anna ran away! Virgie is pure evil! I hope she never gets her hands on that little baby! She drove Anna away, enough already!

95. These people are nothing but scary trailer trash, anna nicole estranged herself from them partly because I think she was embarrassed by them. This loving grandma is only after the bucks, they were always trying to mooch off anna. Who knows what awful things as a child she put up with in that family? I hope that baby doesn't end up with this witch.

96. Mrs Clampett needs to keep her fat butt in her trailer with her feet propped up watching this all unfold on TV.
I think if Anna N's wishes were met, someone would tackle her "mother" and throw her ass back on a plane straight back to PoDunk.
Anyone in their right mind would be embarrassed........ hell, this puts me right back into the movie Million Dollar Baby. Remember HER mother? yep, same exact thing.
Imagine this poor kid being reared by mrs clampett... not to mention the thought of mommiedearest getting her mits on some of Anna N's $$ and bling.........
Not good. Not good.
(She'll be wearing Anna N's CLOTHES around for the cameras if they let her.)

97. Well, call me naive, but I believe the Grandmother has her grandchild's best interest at heart. Don't forget she raised Daniel for the first 7 (?) years of his life.

Hopefully, when they can prove that Larry is the father, they can work out a shared childcare arrangement.

I really hope that they don't get the money from the Marshall estate, just to keep everyone's intentions honourable.

98. Her witch of a mom is wanting money and her turn on Nancy Grace show .I can't believe thats her mom i think the test should be from her mom ,Anna was beautiful and does not look or act like the slimy person ,her mother appeared to be.I can understand why she left home, and now the buzzards are circling and she hasn't even been buried yet. I think the head buzzard should go back to the hills.

99. Howard K Stern should not get custody of that child! He was involved in Daniel's death and Anna Nicole's as well. He kept her doped up all of the time and not once did he attempt to get her help! Her mother raised her son until she showed up and took him away to include him in her quest for fame and fortune. Her mother may not be the classiest woman n the planet, but she doesn't have a drug problem, and didn't approve of Anna's lifestyle. That is why Anna Nicole hated her, and would not allow her at his funeral. I believe she is not after the $, she simply wants to get her grand daughter out of this debaucherous Hell that ANS creatred. She has alredy lost a daughter and a Gradson. What more excuse does she need?

100. Howard is Hysterical to comment . His own Real press release statement . Yeah , he's Hysterically laughing all the way to the bank .

101. 82#

The only words out of her mother's mouth have been the truth and consistent among the rest of the family and the general public....she was a train wreck! Anyone who has ever been on drugs for a length of time knows it's not a matter of IF but rather WHEN.

ANS isolated herself from her family NOT the other way around. Further, ANS hasn't exactly been truthful and forthcoming, obviously. Last, why don't we let the COURTS decide Vergie's suitability as custodian, not the public and conjecture against her merely made by ANS.

102. i think the baby should stay with whom ever it is right now. She obvisouly didn't want her mother having the baby and i do not think she should get her then.Anna made that clear for everyone before her death. I also think that until the DNA test the guy(s) should not get her, although it seemed Howard was the one she wanted her family to be with. Thats all that matters.

103. Of course HKS was there when Daniel died (in Anna's hospital recovery room with newborn baby) and when Anna died (the hotel room they shared), him and Anna were a couple. They were in the Bahamas together and in Florida together. Did Anna have a Medical Power of Atty? That would trump the next of kin - the very estranged mother and father. Is her birth father dead? Where is he?

105. This is such a tragedy to everyone involved with ANS. Bottom line is that she was a doting Mother who loved her children beyond measure. She faced the press and the public every day of her life and was ridiculed and made fun of by everyone she came in contact with. Her Mother should be horsewhipped for the way she talked about her daughter. The smartest thing ANS ever did was to leave her girlhood home and that family. It's no wonder she was screwed up and taking drugs. Just looking at her Mother, I found myself craving some kind of drug and I don't do drugs. Rest in peace, Anna. You are free at last and resting with your beloved Son, Danny. God Bless You.
