Celebrity Justice
Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

TMZ has learned the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a criminal investigation into several doctors who prescribed various medicines to Anna Nicole Smith.

Sources tell TMZ the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement has contacted Larry Birkhead, Big Mo (Anna's bodyguard) and others. We're told DOJ is particularly interested in two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor. TMZ broke the story that Dr. Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna under an assumed name when she was eight months pregnant. Dr. Eroshevich ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

Dr. Eroshevich, who was in the Bahamas with Anna, sent the prescription wish list to Dr. Kapoor. Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, told TMZ "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

The Medical Board of California launched its own investigation of the two doctors earlier this year. That investigation is pending.

By the way, TMZ has learned Dr. Kapoor is in the process of having twins via a surrogate.

Ah... Mr. Delusional sir..... I want to thank you for answering all my questions yesterday. That was very kind of you. Boy this case is something else. Every time I think I figured something out well you know. …. I find another piece of the puzzle.

I'm very glad you want to take more time to talk cause you know this is case....or should I say cases...well you know what I mean…...it's just so upsetting and it's hard to believe all the details there are.

I was just wondering.... Mr. Delusional sir, if you would like to come down to the office and look over some of the stuff I've gathered in the past few months.....you know maybe you could ...ah... help me and shed some light on it. You know I just have to get this right and well........well I wouldn't want to accuse anyone of something they didn't do. You know what I mean?
Well here take my card
bannedsisters@comcast.net

Oh and by the way Mr. Delusional...... I got your message loud and clear about that vitro infertilization thing. Boy ain't that something? I would suppose since you say you saw Ms. Smith sign this agreement that you know that this Larry guy had full knowledge of what he was doing, huh? And she signed this agreement in front of a lot of people? You don't suppose Daniel was there and witnessed these things do you? I am just checking you know. You said everyone was there. Who would everyone be?

And you tell me you think his lawyer...ah…what's her name....you know...yes....Oprie... that's her name......well she knew all along about that agreement. Now that I find very fascinating.

You know. ...that 'Millionaires Club" thing is something else. Do you think Ms. Smith was drugged during these .....ah, what did you call it....parties? Did you ever go to one of these parties sir ? And her son Daniel, was he there for these parites too? And this guy Stern would charge people to see Ms. Smith? I would imagine there was a lot of untaxed money that Mr. Stern was collecting. You wouldn't happen to know how much he charged would you?

Well thanks again, I appreciate your time Mr. Delusional. You know you always provide me with another interesting twist in this investigation. Yes sirree, boy this is something else.

Oh sir, by the way....what was all that stuff about those people ah...who were they ...oh that Robert Goulet guy and Kim Hunter , Carole Lynley and Mr. Lawrence. Do you know those people? Are they part of the investigation? I mean I don't need to be confused anymore than I am Mr. Delusional.........you know ... cause I get easily confused.

Although I enjoy your rath, and wit ,at times, I would guess you will not make many friends insulting the BIG state of Texas, everyone is not Trailer Trash..as you stated!!! The 20th largest city in the Nation is quite beautiful, and a few hidden trailer parks...at best
Shouldn't the working class people live where they can afford to? Or are you better than everyone else...a very sorted comment.
Not true

Smiling. I was born in Texas, Sharks; started my career there, and I have a winter home there. I was being facetious when I made the comment about all Texans living in trailers.

No, no. You don't want to cross a Texan.

30109. DWAU:

I have been trying to respond to you for days now and never get a confirmation e-mail. I just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to a post from you. You write so eloquently, I am impressed! I also find a peace with the assumption that Anna really did have a friend who genuinely cared about her despite the distance that seems to have transpired between you. I often wonder WHY doesn't anybody come forward with info that would aid in this matter?! There are many people that know alot, where are they? This whole mess just makes me sick. What part of "prescriptions in Howard's name" do some not understand? That in itself IS A CRIME!!

30110. yup is the old adage "don't mess with texas' they take care of their own... think you can still be hung there for cattle rustling

No clue what you are talking about??

Since we don’t communicate with each in secret forums, ‘regroup’ monthly meetings nor private emails, how the heck would we know what the other is doing? BUT, Copy & Paste doesn’t exactly fit our ‘profile’ from past experience : )

I'm sure you do know what they are talking about. It it the same thing you pulled on QV with Rose and Havana. You're just mad cuz you weren't invited hahaha

I want to believe everything you say, but you need to understand we have been fooled many, many times. If you don't mind I'd like to ask you a few questions.

1. If you are serious about your close connection to all the players in this saga, why does Howard allow you to share with us what you have? You stated you were one of 5 friends Howard could not remove from Anna's life. So it would have to be fairly easy for him to figure out who you are..correct?

2.Have you talked to Howard since Anna died?

3. Have you ever considered writting a book?

4.Will we ever know who you are?

Thank you!

Posted at 4:06PM on Sep 30th 2007 by because I care


Because I Care,

Thank you for your questions. I will try to answer your questions as forthrightly as I can.

1. Why does Howard allow you to share with us what you have? ...It would have to be fairly easy for him to figure out who you are..correct?

I got a little chuckle out of how you phrased your question. "Why does Howard 'allow' you to...?" Try as he might, Howard cannot control what anybody says about him. If I manage to go and get myself sued, so be it. I will proudly and unhesitantly get up on the stand and repeat everything I have said here.

2. Have you talked to Howard since Anna died?

Yes.

3. Have you ever considered writing a book?

You mean like friend Mo B. and family member Donna Hogan have? Absolutely not. I think they call that blood money.

4. Will we ever know who you are?

Maybe someday, when all of the investigations are concluded.

I can repost those pages if you would like me to. Just let me know.

30116. I don't need help. You quote one line out of context. Immediately following your one line, O'Q's Lawyer goes on to say O'Q was voicing pure opinion and/or rhetorical hyperbole and not verifiable facts. i.e. he was deliberately lying. He goes on to describe that no one would have mistaken his rhetorical hyperbole as factual. (pages 8 & 9)

You need to read the entire filing, possibly with a dictionary at hand.

So if someone states their opinion they are a deliberately lying? If someone states an opinion is that a verifiable fact?

That does not say he was deliberately lying, it states that he expressed his opinion and his opinion only.

Hi me again, thanks so much for your response!
One more tiny question if I may, what year did you meet Anna?

Sept. 9

Excerpt, Page 36, Blonde Ambition, Rita Cosby
- Daniel arrive in Nassau on American Eagle Flight 5005 from Miami arriving at 10:25 pm
- Passes through customs. Official(s) report nothing unusual, quiet young man.
Personnel on board the flight interviewed and report that there was nothing unusual and no alcohol served to him. (Nassau Guardian)
- Michael Bryant: Police have investigated that angle, but I am not aware of any behavior observed by fellow passengers (on the flight with Daniel) that would help figure out what ultimately happened. Wecht's report and the information I've obtained do not include any reference to alcohol. (Nov. 2, 2006 Court TV: Live Chat)
- Mr. Stern reportedly picked up Daniel from the Lynden Pindling airport and drove straight to Doctor’s Hospital.
- STERN ( Larry King Live 9/26/06): Well, I'd want to start with the night when I picked him up from the airport and I picked him up and, you know, he was very happy to be here and he kept saying that he just couldn't believe he had a baby sister and he couldn't wait to see his mom. This was one of the longest times that they've ever been apart and he was coming out here to stay with us and to stay with his mom and go to school here.
