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.

241. I have never read so many ignorant comments in my life.
1) Daniel wasn't a child who couldn't make his own decisions. He was an adult, so couldn't it be possible that he took the drugs that were found in is system on his own accord?? Remember people he died of a lethal combination of the drugs found in his system, not of large doses of the drugs.
2) You ignorant people really need to read the facts about methadone, before commenting. Here's some facts for you: Methadone reduces the cravings associated with heroin use and blocks the high from heroin, but it does not provide the euphoric rush. Consequently, methadone patients do not experience the extreme highs and lows that result from the waxing and waning of heroin in blood levels. Ultimately, the patient remains physically dependent on the opioid, but is freed from the uncontrolled, compulsive, and disruptive behavior seen in heroin addicts. Methadone does not impair cognitive functions. It has no adverse effects on mental capability, intelligence, or employability. It is not sedating or intoxicating, nor does it interfere with ordinary activities such as driving a car or operating machinery. Patients are able to feel pain and experience emotional reactions. Most importantly, methadone relieves the craving associated with opiate addiction. For methadone patients, typical street doses of heroin are ineffective at producing euphoria, making the use of heroin less desirable.

So now can some one answer me this, SO WHAT if it was found in her fridge? SO WHAT if he "gave" it to Daniel? SO WHAT if he gave it to Anna?? Wouldn't that kill your theory of "if he loved her so much, why didn't he try to help her?"

Someone said why would he fly back to the bahamas the same night that Anna died? UMmmmmm maybe because the baby was in the Bahamas??? And exactly what was he going to do in Florida? Was he going to sprinkle some sort of magic dust to resurect her? Based on the reports that I've read and listened to, they went to Florida to buy the boat, when he got the call saying she was being rushed to the hospital, the boat had already been purchased and according to the guy is was with, he left as soon as he got off the phone with a paniked look on his face.

Also to the person who said that when her spouse died she didn't want to be in the same house where all the memories were. Speak for yourself. Many people would rather stay in the house where the memories where then to just forget all together. My uncle still lives in the house where my aunt died, my family still lives in the house where my grand parents died. Do Not speak for every one and make it seem as though HKS is sick for wanting to stay in that house. Everyone deals with grief differently.

I'm sure most of you people are old enough to know better and yet reading this back it seems like I'm reading comments from a bunch of preschoolers.

242. Rosie are you that stupid? Yes, Howard will be found guilty of murder. He killed her son , and he killed her too. He has been around her for 10yrs now, she dated a lot of men during this time. He saw it all. He wants the money, and a baby that is not even his. Her own son said, ANS never slept with Howard.
He planned this whole thing out. Werid that she dies right before DNA testing.
They both knew the baby is not Howard's. He didnt love her, or he would have tryed to get her to stop taking the drugs that HE was getting for HER. She did not love him either. If she did love him she would have not had all these men right in front of him. HOWARD WILL BE FOUND GUILTY. I hope he has to pay for what he did to her and her son.

243. CATE - YES, HE PUSHED THE DRUGS ON HER I AM SURE. IF SHE WOULD HAVE GOT AWAY FROM HIM AFTER HE KILLED HER SON, SHE MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE. ANS MOTHER EVEN SAID, SHE WOULD BE NEXT AND SHE WAS. HE WILL THE BABY NEXT. CAUSE THE DNA WILL PROVE HE ISNT THE FATHER. LOOK AT HIM, WOULD YOU HAVE SEX WITH HIM? SHE WAS GORGEOUS, AND WHOEVER THE FATHER IS WILL BE A YOUNGER BETTER LOOKING GUY THAN HIM. I REALLY THINK HE IS GAY, AND SHE WAS HIS COVER.

244. This is absolutely crazy...these poor people. How can you automatically think Howard did it? He was in love with Anna! And Anna was in love with her son, so if she had ANY kind of thought that Howard "killed" Daniel, I am sure she would not have put his name on her baby's certificate. For her to do that, I am sure she trusted him and he was her best friend. just as she was his. Maybe he is not the father, but he has a hell of a more right to be than the photographer who was nothing but a few nights of intimacy. Howard has been a huge part of Anna's life...he would be the only one who could really keep her memory alive for Danilynn. Maybe he tried to help Anna, but she wouldn't let him...so he did what would make her "happy". As for her mother, I dont blame Howard for not wanting her to see the baby...he is only fulfilling Anna's wish. She is too busy running her mouth anyway. I believe that Daniel died of an ACCIDENTAL overdose (mehtodone) that was given to him or he found in the hospital room where he died. I believe Anna died from accumulated poor health over the years (diets and drugs), and the death of Daniel added severe distress to her very poor immune system...and she died. Why would Howard kill her before they got married (to make things legal and a hell of a lot easier)? The poor baby Danilynn.

245. Fran......You are so wrong. How do you know she was so desperate to screw Howie? She didnt. She has had many lovers with old Howie right there to see it all. You can tell when someone is guilty, he is acting too guilty. He will never get her baby or money. You see he killed her, right before the test. It doesnt take much of a brain to figure it out. I agree with her Mother, Howard wanted her money, and her son dead. Then he kills her. So Fran is Howard paying you to blog that crap that he is innocent? You are taking up for a man that is a killer.

246. Howard has someone if not several people posting on TMZ to make this look better for him . The person/persons are good but the syntax and spacing of words are identical under several names, Sandy , Audrey and more . All threads are stupidly positive of Stern . So that's why he could afford to pay for the Bahamas' house ...he has to pay his PR people . To show how fake this guy is just look at his interviews -- he always seems alone . There are reports that there were up to eight people traveling with Howard and Anna . Where are They ? Who are they ??? He always seems alone -- to make us feel sorry for him ??!??

247. It just all seems to very simple to me.....IF Sterns is the Dad....WHY not just have the DNA test and put this whole matter to rest......Hmmmm...Seems logical to me, that he MUST be hidding something....!

It was just on the News the release of the 911 tape made the day she died...That woman that made the call sure seems VERY calm to me...I sure would not have been calm...!!! Would any of YOU? Hmmmm....

I just feel so sad for Anna....How her life got so messed up....As a human being one cannot but feel compassion for " Only by the grace of GOD," go any of us.

248. Has anyone see Howard represent Anna? Well then that's probably why no ethics violations were charged. Just because she says he's her attorney doesn't make it true.

251. "ATTENTION EVERYONE"....................... and inresponse to post #42
I personally knew Anna for many years, she worked as a stripper to support her child due to the fact she was very young and Daniel's Father was a loser and didn't want anything to do with his son. I met Howard and at first thought he was a nice guy, then i began seeing some things I questioned and was told to butt out! Howard became smitten with Anna and then it became more than that. He stood by and watched Anna date and have long lasting relationships without ever expressing interest in her! I know for a fact after Anna injured her knee, Howard was the one who went to a Doctor and got Demerol, xanax and gave it to Anna. I was there when Anna asked Howard what he was giving her, he said the doctor wants you to take some anti-inflammatorys for your knee/leg. She refused and ask for tylenol or advil, Howard persisited and Anna believe him. ( demoral is NOT anti-inflammatory, it's a narcotic) This was a pattern , Howard pushed drugs on Anna and even watched her weight escalate, that wee little man lived off Anna's money and stood by while she self destructed, then moved in for the "KILL"
Howard began taking drugs himself, look at pictures and video from a year ago and compare them to present ones, even the interviews recently.....he's looking down, NOT at the camera nor the interviewer! I believe in innocent until proven guilty, but I'm telling you............... Howard is involved somehow in these to deaths, why do you think he convinced Anna to relocate to the Bahamas? Anna was persuing a career in acting, modeling,etc... She needed to be in the states, but how ironic is it that Howard convince her to move to the Bahamas after realizing she was pregnant?!?! He had a plan, mark my word, Howard your days are numbered.
I can gone on but I'll stop for now!

Rock on,
For those who may question why I know these things and did nothing. I was made to leave and told not to contact Anna again; straight from Howard and their thugs! I did go to the authorities about this and was told it's my word over His!

252. I wonder if the TrimSpa killed her, She openly said SHE COULDNT TRUST ANYONE I think that was a cry for help If you look at the pics of Howard when he was with her, he looks at her with the eyes of an obsessed stalker the guys eyes have it.I watched her Anna Nicole show and have the dvd set and this guy just looks freaky he knew evything in Anna's life and from his obsessed behavior murdered her son and the eveil step son and now anna to get her fortune everything happedned after he married her,Anna did have some things going on perhaps some mental issues but she was real and loved her fans as you see toward the end of her life she was ok more normal until she let Howrd stay in her life,We must be careful who we choose to be in our lives. This is only my opinion and has no fact but I dooubt to be all fiction.I will miss ANNA I dropped from a 16 to a 10 because of watching her and being on Trimspa too hope I dont die.

253. Lorie/ I sure hope you really dont believe the crap you just posted. The reason he stayed with her was for the money and the fame. He didnt love her or Daniel. He loves MONEY. He even said, I hope she is with Daniel now. Yeah he made sure she was going to die. If you love somebody, you dont let them take drugs and get them for her. A lot of you act like you are being paid to take up for Howard.
It will come out soon, that he killed both of them. Somebody needs to get the baby away from him, or he will kill her too. He does not want any DNA testing, he already proved that. He knows he is NO DADDY TO ANS BABY.

254. To add to my earlier comments, the yacht that Anna purchased was being renovated and redecorated. Anna had all the say as to how she wanted it redecorated, including the 2 rooms! Yes 2 rooms. One room was for Anna only the other was for Howard to stay in. Hmmmmmm
So if they truly were a couple, why the heck would she have her own room including her own private tanning deck? Sounds like Howard was left out on this, his only involvment is in the negotiating of purchasing it, and seeing over the hiring of a pilot to move it to the Bahamas!
Howard, watch your back!!! You'll be exposed soon!

255. I think whoever took that picture of her open refrigerator Ought to be ashame of themselves.That was truelly a lowdown dirty thing to do. And what proof is there that those contents where there when she was alive and not placed there after her death! #2 Her mother is there trying to see the baby,althought i do understand her reasons,I think she should be in california trying to get her daughters body. I also feel when all is said and done,her death will be ruled an accident.AND Howard WILLNOT be the father of the baby.
