Howard K. Stern Interviewed by Cops

Posted Feb 12th 2007 12:30PM by TMZ Staff

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.

76. As far as the picture of her and the imigration minister; I would not buy into that photo as being scandalous in a sexual way; obviously someone else took the picture and was standing right there; it could be that it was taken soon after she had the baby.

But I do think the Bahamian government should be embarassed and are probably very sorry they allowed them as residents and all the drama that ensued; I think there has been some palm greasing on their end to accomodate her...

77. 1. In the ET interview, HS keeps referring to Dannielynn as "Anna's baby". Uh, is it just me or wouldn't you say "our" baby if you were the Daddy?

2. Why is there still the issue over the Thompson house going on? Didn't ET have an interview with Anna just before she died in the NEW house she just bought? The one she said she wanted to make new memories in & leave that OTHER house with all of the bad memories behind? You know, the new house that she was going to prepare a shrine for Daniel in? I'm a little confused if anyone could help clear this up.

78. What a horrible injustice to this poor little innocent baby. I pray that perhaps Anna's sister can do something. The mother, face it just wants the money. Look what happened to Anna. At one interview she described her mother as an "evil person". I pray that she cannot get the baby. Surely they won't let Stern have the baby.

79. This whole story is very, very sad. If Howard kills himself, then will that satisfy the ignorant masses who claim he killed Daniel and Anna?

Has it occurred to any one here that both Daniel and Anna were sick people? Anna was an addict, clear and simple, and Daniel was her son. Not too hard to figure out that there is a genetic component to addiction as well as learned behavior. Daniel had the genes for addiction and the role model for addiction (Anna).

Stern will be next to go. If he is to be blamed for anything, it should be for being weak. Too weak to save Anna and her son.

80. I was reading an article from USA Today, or what ever that paper is called. He actually bought that boat still, and is having it sent to the Bahamas.

The guy is a freak, and proably at the very least enabled the death of Anna Nicole and Daniel. The baby needs to go be with her real father, Larry Birkhead (who the baby looks just like), and way from that creepy, money grubbing lawyer (I guess lawyer is enough of an insult in itself). I hope they REALLY investigate him, and don't just let him pay his way out of trouble. That baby needs a DNA test ASAP. Hell, they could always do a blood test to start with, there are just certain blood types that just can't happen between parents. That could possibly be one way of at least proving he isn't the father, even if they can't tell who is right off the bat. At least DNA testing can be quick with paternity (look at all the talk shows). This needs to be settled before the baby also mysteriously comes to harm. What's it going to be with Dannielynn and him SIDS. That wouldn't surprise me in the least. At least Anna Nicole never was legally married to him (which makes me think even more that it was just for show and he's not the real daddy. She wasn't stupid, I hope, in that respect, to marry him).

81. You people are crazy illogical morons who don't even make sense. There are more holes in your theories than I have time to space to show you.

Howard Stern loved Anna Nicole and many men put their names on birth certificates thinking they're the father, maybe knowing they aren't but to allow a child a name. Until it is proven otherwise, you should all keep in mind that he has suffered a loss of such a huge magnitude that most people can't even imagine being able to function after. Yet, here he is arriving at his home, being forced to get lawyers to because he's locked out! Realizes they've been robbed! How sick is all of this and to me it proves one thing and one thing only, humans can be the most evil hunks of crap on the surface of this earth, count all of yourself saying lies or unsubstanciated statements IN with that crowd.

82. Why does everyone in this great nation think it is their God given right to nose in on somesones sorrow.
I say leave the poor woman alone. Even in death they won't leave her alone. The public is not going to change the out come of all this.
Look at what the press did to Princess Diana.
The whole world is falling apart and there more important things to worry the public than wondering who Anna Nicole Smith slept with.
God, get a life.

83. Why is everyone blaming Howard Stern, He loved Anna and stayed with her thru all of her ups & Downs, including sleeping with many other men, this was a woman that was in desperate need of male attention, especially a father figure, and why is her mother ALL of a sudden so interested in her "granddaughter" if that was me I would have been in the hospital the day she was born, there was obviosly a reason Anna did not want her around, and why is her "sister" who loved her so much writing a "book" about her sister, MONEY that is why, ANNa was surrounded by golddiggers, and she obviously trusted Howard as he has been in her life along time, and her son Daniel loved him, you could tell and if Daniel did not love him I guarantee you ANNA would have dumped him like a hot rock, as her son was everything to her, everyone needs to stop the drama speculating and mourn this poor girl's passing, the drugs she was on were obviosly given to her by a doctor and are strictly issued, so where is the doctors liability in all of this?? In all the pain this poor girl was in , I think we could all she how easy it would be to take medication to numb the pain, just as many people do with drinking booze, there would not be near the hoopla if it was just booze, the poor girl died of a broken heart plan and simple, the drugs just helped it along

84. Howard facilitated Anna's drug problem, he kept her in a drug induced state so he could control her and her possible fortune
Had Danial lived he would be the voice and fight of this estate and this poor baby will have only the voice of lawyer and appointed people to oversee her life with Danial out of the picture and now Anna Howard has a clear path to this money..
The goverment in the Bahamas need to work with US court and seek paternity of this baby and the sooner the better.. If they dont there is a sad injustice in this case and along with Aruba the Bahama's should be boycotted.. Also like to Add I truly belive that house does belong to Mr. Thompson and that ws just another scam of Howards and in his little plan to manipulate Anna's life I hope the courts in Bahama's throw Howard out on his ass and deny and residency to the Bahama's ..that goverement needs to seperate themself from all this and stop Howard for his manipulations and also investigate him for Murder

85. I just LOVE the 2nd paragraph
"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."
THE OWNER? Damn, Howard how can an OWNER break into HIS OWN house? I think that so-called smart ass lawyer slipped!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!
I hope they lock his lying ass up & throw away the key! PDQ

86. I dont know what to think. I do KNOW however; that Howard K. Stern looks creepy.
I feel very sorry for Dannielynn. I personally am hoping that the father is Larry Birkhead as he seems to genuinely care for that baby and before ANS's death; had no reason to do this for money. The other question I have is, why did Anna hate her mom so much??? Does anyone know? My opinion is that Howard K. Stern is somehow involved with the death of Daniel and Anna Nicole, intentional or not. I think it will be interesting to see how all this plays out and I am just hoping it goes well in the end for Danielynn. Can you imagine that little girl growing up and only being able to see pictures of her mom and brother? Sad, sad sad!

87. The officials in the Bahama's will not look into Stern because they are black and don't care about a white baby.

88. Whatever happened to "You are innocent until proven quilty"? Just WHAT IF Howard is really a nice quy - and he WAS Anna's friend - and just tried to control what damage he could? Just WHAT IF he really was her friend? WHAT IF he was her lover? You know some women (&men) just self distruct! Maybe he WAS a nice guy who just got sucked in? (ha)

90. I must start by saying that I give my deepest sympathy to the entire family. I was and still am a big fan of Anna Nicole. If people would just stop and look at everything that was going on in the life of Mrs.Smith maybe somewhere in there someone would notice that this women has had a life built on nothing but negativity since the beginning. I respected her because she was beautiful and she was intellegent. Is it not possible that she really did love Mr. Marshall and that she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life? I mean, she can't tell God when to take one of his children home. This lady went through hell on high water and still remained beautiful. None of us know what happened we are all just assuming!! If you don't know anything about these people how can you put information out on the street because they think she overdosed, or Howard helped kill her son. This man should not have to go through this(Howard). What in the hell has he done other than want what is best for this child or is he just fulfilling one of Anna's wishes. We don't know. One thing that I can tell you , is that it is a powerful blow to accuse someone of murder without the proper evidence, you have just committed derfermation of character on this man. Now, what if it were you?
