32. TATA -

It isn't that hard to figure out. Who besides Howard has access to Anna's paperwork, passwords & so forth?

Ford Shelley.

I expect we'll see a lot of this type of stuff come out before the court hearing on the house this week.

34. What a conspiracy theory I am going to make .
Is it possible that Howard recorded them on a tape and with the pictures he was going to black mail the minister but Shelly found them in the house and that is why we have them??

36. If this had happened in the US the baby would already be with Birkhead, the Daniel Smith Investigation would have not only been started but would be completed and Howard K. Stern (Mr. Sell Anna's phone recordings and baby pictures out of greed) would be in jail.

But I guess when you are in a country where everyone is smoking dope things move along a little bit slower.

37. Keep up the pressure on Howard and wrongdoers involved. It is certainly working. Good Job. I suspect it will just get more detailed and disturbing as the days get closer to March 16th. HKS must be shakin' in his loafers.
Pray for strength for Ms. Opri and Birkhead family!

38. Anna's cell phone better be in the custody of Police Officials or somebody has broken the" chain of command ".... regarding the evidence in this case. WTF is that ? If somebody else was in possession of Anna's phone right after..... or right before her death. They have " tainted " it.

Who goes on Vacation and doesn't take their cell phone ? That sounds odd to me. Maybe there is someone from the Police Dept. who has leaked this information.

Although it wouldn't surprise me that Ford Shelly took the phone.......nobody can really prove that at this stage in the developing story. There are other possibilities as well.

41. Check this out .....

Who Received The $10,000 Cheque
(Bahamas News Center)

When Anna Nicole Smith's fast-tracked residence certificate made the headlines someone familiar with the security checks required for such applications told us it was "absolulely impossible" to complete the checks and issue the certificate in three weeks.

However, as a result of what Prime Minister Christie has referred to as "new records of efficiency" being introduced in the Immigration Department, Ms Smith's certificate was issued exactly 21 working days after an application was submitted to the department an Friday, August 11.

On Monday, August 14, an Immigration Department official called to set up an interview for the next day at the Eastern Road residence of Ms Smith - who also goes under the names of Mrs Vickie Lynn Marshall, Jane Brown, Michelle Chase and Anna M Smith.

On September 11, the Director of Immigration wrote a letter to Ms Tracy Ferguson, junior partner in Callenders and Co -- who had been instructed to submit the application on Mrs Vicki Lynn Marshall's behalf informing Ms Ferguson that Ms Marshall's residence permit had been approved "without the right to work."

However, although this letter was addressed to the Callender law firm, it was never sent to Callenders. It was only when Ms Smith/Marshall called the firm on September 20, giving instructions that a $10,000 cheque be delivered to her home by 7 o'clock that evening for Immigration Minister Shane Gibson that Callenders learned that the residence certificate had been granted.

On September 20, Ms Ferguson herself drove to Ms Smith/Marshall's home, where she says she saw Mr Gibson in the living room. Ms Ferguson was shown into the bedroom where she gave the envelope to Ms Smith. As Ms Smith opened the envelope her lawyer-boyfriend ushered Mr Gibson into the bedroom. Ms Smith handed Mr Gibson the cheque. The young lawyer from Callenders then left "Horizons."

The next day, September 21, the Permanent Secretary called Callenders, spoke with a senior partner and asked Callenders to send Immigration the $10,000 cheque. There was a surprised reaction when she was told that the cheque had been delivered the night before to Minister Gibson. It was then suggested that she look in the Minister's office, where it is understood the cheque was eventually discovered.

Mr Michael Scott, the law partner, then told the Permanent Secretary that not only did his firm no longer have the cheque, but that it had never received immigration's letter which informed the firm that residency had been approved. She was asked to fax the letter, dated September 11, which she did. The original of the approval letter did not arrive, at Callenders until October 9.

The Tribune has in its possession a copy of the $10,000 cheque dated September 20, a copy of the permanent secretary's fax sending Immigration's Sept. 11 letter of approval - dated September 21 - and the cancelled cheque with the Bahamas Immigration accounts stamp dated September 22.

When the unusual Sequence of events became public, Bahamians wanted to know why a government minister would interfere with the duties of the Immigration Department, and why he would personally accept a cheque on behalf of that department.

On September 25 an indignant Minister Gibson "let it be known for public information that no cheque was ever personally collected by" him or delivered by him or to him "in connection with Ms Anna Nicole Smith." He said that "anything to the contrary is a vicious lie conceived in ignorance and spread in wickedness by the FNM."

Surprisingly, Prime Minister Christie, a man noted for being slow to make a decision or commit himself to any position, once again jumped to the defence of his minister. It was obviously a repeat performance of the Keod Smith-Kenyatta Gibson episode when, acting on incomplete information, Mr Christie put himself in a politically embarrassing position.

And so at the opening of the first phases of Excellence Estates on September 25, Mr Christie declared: "You can't have it on the front page of newspapers that my minister picked up a cheque when it's a lie, outrageous lie."

However, later rumours are even more disturbing. An unconfirmed report is now making the rounds that the young lawyer is being pressured to change her story about the delivery of the cheque to Horizons. If this report is true, it is very serious. If not true. it should be denied immediately.

In the meantime, the public is entitled to the truth. We urge the Opposition to ask for the appointment of a select committee with powers to send for persons and papers and get to the bottom of this most irregular affair. And when the truth is discovered we agree - with Minister Gibson that if there has been any breach, the guilty should be "dealt with to the fullest extent of the law."

42. I have always suspected that HKS was blackmailing Shane Gibson....he was bribed and then blackmailed. With the pending lawsuits (property and DNA), Gibson's neck was going to be in a "noose" regarding his expediated citizenship grant. He probably didn't foresee the upcoming events when he made that rash decision.

45. This is really disgusting. Shelley must have picked up her cell phone when he stole her other stuff. It's pretty obvious someone is leaking all this stuff just to make Anna and Howard and now Gibson look bad. Perhaps Shelley thinks this will help him in the house action.

These message are private and should have remained private. The media has spin out of control and is just leaking all this private, unauthorized stolen things.

Big deal...the guy calls her and leaves messages. What is this suppose to prove? We all know that after Anna moved to the Bahamas she became personal friends with the Gibson family. This is not a crime...it doesn't prove anything was improper.
