Howard K. Stern Interviewed by Cops

Howard K. SternTMZ has learned Bahamian authorities met with Howard K. Stern on Monday morning. Police sources say two subjects are on the table -- Stern's allegation of a break-in at the house in which he's staying, and the investigation into Daniel Smith's death.

Stern alleged that the owner of the house -- G. Ben Thompson -- broke into the premises and changed the locks after Anna Nicole died. We're told Thompson's position is that it's his home and Stern has no right to be there. Police wanted to speak with Stern about the allegation.

But law enforcement sources also tell TMZ that the cops want to re-interview Stern about the death of Anna Nicole's son last September. This comes after TMZ obtained a photo of Anna Nicole's refrigerator -- which held a large container of methadone.

We've learned at least one witness will testify at the coroner's inquest into Daniel's death that Stern supplied Daniel with methadone and then flushed the remaining stash down a toilet after Daniel died.

196. Anna was a very vulnerable women and had many men take advantage of her love for human beings... she loved her children very much .. but much like cellebritys, thay don't have time to care for their children.. she was a working mom.. most have nannys. I think the child should go to the sisiter and all the money should be put in a account for the child till she is 21... and for the father hopefully will be in her life and raise her to become just as beautiful and kind as her mother..people love to hear the bad and trash noboldy likes to hear good news anna was dear and was good.. but was no different then many hollywood fames... as for Stern he does seem somewhat suspcious and with good detective work the truth will prevail... her mother should stay away, we all know how much Anna disliked her and if she was my mother and the things she has said in past interviews I would disown her too.. I will miss her love for live and her sweet innocent ways.. and her beauty

may god rest her soal and bring her peace and for the child too...

197. Doesn't everyone know that methadone is not a killing drug? It is infact used for people who have drug addictions and it helps them ease off of drugs? Why does everyone think it is a big deal that methadone was found in her refrigerator? Read the facts!

198. Howard Stern is the bad guy, he is also a drug user. Look at Howard's mannerisms, he is on the same drugs Anna was on.
I agree, he killed Daniel, and I think he supplied the drugs to Anna. Howard is a no good lawyer, he was with Anna for one reason only. To get her money, her fame ... and now her daughter. That child is not his, it is the photographers in California.
Howard Stern is nothing but a social climbing, money grubbing, no good drug addict.

199. It's funny how Anna Nicole dies months after her son's death. What are the chances of that? Think what a judge should do is take what ever funds are in question and put it in a trust fund for the child with money going to charity if anything happens to her. That way, it keeps these guys from spending all the money on themselves. After all who ever is the father would have to care for the child anyway, money or no money this way you can see who really steps up to the plate. Think it's funny that all these guys are coming out of the wood work since there is money involved, and think it's funny and sick how some of them have sold their stories. Stern was one of the first to do so, can't be in that much pain if he's already cashing in

200. Even if Howard does not end up being the biological father, he is legally her father at the moment because he and the child's Mother put him on the birth certificate. Nobody has any legal right to take the child from him unless he can be proven unfit or someone else is shown to be the real father.

Howard has been with Anna for around 15 years. Why is it so hard to think he may have developed feelings for her over the years? She is surrounded by so many blood suckers. He's the only one who was there before she had money and stuck with her until the end.

I SERIOUSLY doubt if J Howard Marshall is the father of the baby for two reasons. First of all, the info about that "theory" is coming from Anna's half sister. Why in the hell would she have information like that when Anna considered her family trash and wouldn't even speak to them? Not to mention the scum sucker is putting out a book (days after her sister's death) and trying to make money off of her that way since she couldn't get any from her in other ways. Secondly, if he was the father, there is no reason for Anna to have put Howard on the birth certificate. They wanted to win the lawsuit and get the money. If she was J Howards daughter and they could prove it immediately with a DNA test, they would have been shouting it from the rooftops. Her sister is a low class scum. I hope her book tanks and she ends up more broke than before she started trying to write her "tell all book". No wonder Anna wanted nothing to do with them.

As for the drugs Anna was taking......well......some doctor somewhere prescribed them for her since she had nothing illegal in her system or her room. The woman was grieving over the loss of her son and could have also been suffering post pardum depression. It's certainly not unheard of to try and kill yourself when you are extremely depressed, but so far nobody has even said what was in her system. She may have not even taken anything....but if she did, then whatever Doctor prescribed them should have been watching over her better and so should the nurse who was with her. I agree with the comments about her being put in an ice bath. First time Mothers know you don't do that. Why would a nurse do it? If that woman is telling the truth, then she should be held accountable. People die from high fevers. Anna should have been in a hospital.

I would be willing to bet money the so called methodone was planted there by someone. It is amazing that it was found by a regular Joe(who has a vested interest in who gets the home) and not the police who have to be all over these people. Killers don't leave the prime evidence in a fridge in an empty house where any cop with a search warrant could walk right in and get. Also........who calls a photographer before the cops anyway? One more scum sucker making money off a dead woman.

Finally.....Anna's Mother.......she is a real piece of work. If Anna were alive, this woman would be the last person on earth she would want near her baby. She sees dollar signs and can't wait to get her hands on her. How does she think she would even remotely have a shot at adopting this child when half a dozen men are fighting for paternity? COME ON! It is definitely about the money. If she were broke this woman couldn't care less. Daniel was a grown man and she still never saw him. What was stopping her if she loved her grandchildren so darn much?

I hope Howard does end up being the Father. I can't believe he would do something or let something happen to Anna. Especially if she has no will.......and so far one has not been mentioned. He would have no rights to anything so what would be his motive? They weren't even legally married yet. He has stuck with her when nobody else did. He has defended her, taken care of her, and loved her when she was not an easy person to be around. He has the least motivation to kill her........unlike the Marshalls, Daniel's Father, The guy who claims he owns the home she was living in, and even her own family. If she is dead then the book they wrote won't be contested, they won't be sued and lets face it........her being dead makes a hell of an ending doesn't it?

201. Fla. looking for a boat???why, when she is so upset about Daniel and DNA testing.....Drugs given to a person can make that one do what they want he/she to do.
Howard Stern looks so flaky, fake and I pray he is not Dannielynn's dad. And that trashy MOM of Anna's, Lord forbid she gets her hands on that beautiful baby.

202. does howard stern have his own income or was he totally dependent on anna nicole

203. I saw the interview with Howard Stern last nite and it was almost like watching the interview with Laci Peterson's husband. Stern showed a lot of the same gestures, manner of speaking and only seemed to have one tear that he let fall down his cheek.
Watch the interview....I think you will see it also.
Anna's mom was right....when she said "you may be next"
Anyone who loved the baby and Anna, would not have allowed the use of drugs while holding and caring for the child.
The police need to question this man again and again....there is guilt there.

204. Daniel is the father, he was having a hard time coping with it and died from an overdose. Anna comitted suicide or by accident trying to cope with it all. Howard supplied the drugs.....

205. I THINK ANNA DIED FROM A BROKEN HEART. I THINK SHE TOOK DRUGS PROBABLY PRESCRIBED TO DEAL WITH HER SONS DEATH. I AM A MOTHER AND I WOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO GO ON IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MY KIDS. IT IS APPEARANT THAT SHE TRULY LOVED HER CHILDREN. ALSO EVERYONE BLAMES HOWARD FOR HER BEING ON DRUGS. WHAT HAPPENED TO PEOPLE BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS? I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE ON DRUGS AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRY YOU CAN'T GET THEM OFF OF THEM UNLESS THEY WANT TO BE OFF THEM. I DO NOT THINK HER MOTHER SHOULD HAVE DANNIELYNN. IT IS ALSO APPEARANT THAT ANNA HATED HER. I HOPE HOWARD IS PROVEN INNOCENT AND I HOPE HE IS DANNIELYNN'S BIOLOGICAL FATHER. OBVIOUSLY ANNA WANTED HIM TO HAVE HER. AFTER ALL SHE DID PUT HIM ON THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!YOU CAN TELL HE LOVES HER AND ANNA BOTH. EVERYONE IS UPSET BECAUSE HE SAYS THE BABY IS THE REASON FOR HIM LIVING. WELL AT LEAST HE LOVES HER ENOUGH TO WANT TO LIVE FOR HER. I'M SURE IT IS HARD TO GO ON AFTER YOU LOSE YOUR COMPANION AND LOVER. HE IS DEALING WITH IT THE BEST HE CAN. MAY ANNA NICOLE REST IN PIECE WITH HER SON. MAY DANNIELYNN GROW UP HAPPY . HOPEFULLY THIS CONTROVERSY THAT SURROUNDS HER WILL END SOON. ALSO REMEMBER INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!

206. Rot in hell Howard K. Stern.....I hope you rot in prison and Dannielynn never has an opportunity to be raised by you. You and your sister are sick people. We hate you very much you a**hole.

207. I would not be surprised if HKS ends up taking his own life before the scheduled inquest in March into Daniels death. The man had issues with ANS, and was almost like a stalker. I think he probably loved her but in a sick obsessive way... like if I can't have her nobody else will.... if you look at photos from their so called "committment ceremony", you could obviously tell that they were not comfortable with the kissy-kissy stuff. That was all a sham. I personally think that he had something to do with both deaths, that Larry Birkhead is more likely the father (and the baby should be with him). I mean if HKS is so absolutely sure that the baby is his why would he of not already submitted to DNA testing to end this? Why not? because the longer this drags out the more money in these peoples pockets from interviews and etc., and the longer people have to wait to find out the truth. What is up with our judicial system???

208. Anna's family are all trash, after the money. Anna had nothing to do with them. EVeryone knows it. Birkhead may be the father, but he wants Annas mother to have the baby, not to keep for himself. He is after the money. Anna and Daniel were both addicted to a lot of meds, I am sure Howard knew it, but couldnt do much about it, Anna was her own boss, all the way. So when she got pregnant, Howard stepped up to the plate, loving her enough to carry her bags, to get her food, to help her with legal matters, to be a father her children, he be Daniels guardian, & then to help her with the loss of Daniel. Now he has to endure losing her, Daniel, the house, the wedding plans, he is being blamed for both deaths, being kicked out of the house in the Bahamas, being robbed of photographs that are all he is going to have left? And the baby may be given to Birkhead, to let Annas mother and sister raise her? ON top of the legal battle still ahead for Marshalls money. I hope the baby turns out to belong to Marshall, that would be the final twist in the story, to be impregnated by Marshalls frozen sperm, to be his rightful Heir.....maybe Anna wasnt the dumb blond we all thought she was.........
but, My God, if you cant feel sorry for this man, you have no heart.

209. I feel that Howad wanted Ana dead so he can get her money. I also think he felt that he had to kill Daniel first so Daniel will not be able to interfear on getting the money. He will not take the paternity test because his name on the birth certificate and he knows if he isn't the father he will not get a cent of her money, obvious that money is his main intrest after that one. If he loved Ana he would take the paternily and say screw the money. He should want also Danialynn to be with the real father. The RX was in his name, that right there contribute to her dealth, he should go down for murder of both Danile and Ana. They were married a short time, he didn't love her he planned this all out.

210. I think Mr. Stern is a living leech, who hooked on to a woman who was as big a leech and user as he is. I truly think he is responsible for the death of the son Danny and now may be for Anna as well. He was in this relationship for money as is obvious from his selling the story soooo fast. I do not think the baby is his and a DNA test should be taken asap. He wants to have this baby because he thinks she will have big bucks. She belongs to the maternal grandmother or to the real father. This man should be kicked in the butt and take that baby away from him NOW.
