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.

31261. The Delusional Walk Among Us
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!

31265. Below, is another blow by blow account from Rita's book from the CrimeLibrary site. Enjoy.....



Hi everyone,I am here and sorry I do kind of "disappear" for a bit but I have just been vegging this long weekend.
I plan to re-read the book as soon as I get home again.I am at the fiance's because I am closer to the hospital and a walk in clinic due to coming down with a bad case of Hay Fever and was having breathing problems.I was reading it earlier and thought I had packed it but it is still on my bed.

There are a few more details I can add for today

-Howard is the one whom gave Anna her meds everyday.He lined up paper cups like you see in the hospital and each cup contained one dose of each pill form med she was on,not including liquid form or injections.There were over 20 pills in just one cup.Anna also hardly ever got out of bed since Daniel died and just lived off meds.She had a few episodes such as lying in bed crying with a poster sized photo of Daniel over her face and when she was asked by a nanny what she was doing,she was trying to see and talk to Daniel.I now believe she truly was speaking to Mr. Marshall's framed photo in court because she spent alot of time talking to photos of Daniel,like it was a conversation and he was answering her.
Poor Anna,that part just upsets me that she was so out of it she spoke to photos,thinking he was there.

-Howard was the one responsible for getting Moe's book cancelled.
I don't know how he did it but I wondered because it seemed odd that the publisher would scrap the book within days of publication.
I have spoken to Moe on MySpace and asked him if he plans to release the book at a later date.He said he wants the truth to be known so I will accept that as a yes,IMO.

-According to Moe,whom made this statement in the book,Howard was acting strange and jumpy all morning on Feb 8th.Moe came off the elevator and Howard was in the hallway talking on his cell phone quietly and started fidgeting when Moe came off the elevator.Moe asked him why he was in the hall and he claimed he could not get a signal from the hotel room.
When Moe came back with their guests,Howard was speaking very loudly while Anna was asleep.He told them she was asleep but yet leaned his head towards the bedroom and shouted to Anna that their company were there.
Moe found this odd that he would choose to shout instead of going into the bedroom and speaking to Anna,which he would usually do and this was out of character for him.Brigette told him to just let her sleep and then Howard set up chairs to talk with them and placed Brigette and KE in chairs he made sure had the back to the bedroom so they could not see in the bedroom and Howard sat infront of them.
Then he made a huge show of looking at the time after stating his appt. at the boat was at noon and that they had to leave now because they were late.Tas was asked if she would mind staying back and sitting with Anna.Tas did mind but she agreed anyways.Moe gave her his laptop to work on and she sat there,basically ignoring Brigette,intently working on the laptop at the end of the bed with her back to Anna.Brigette then thought Anna should be checked upon and Tas told her she was fine and hated to be awoken.
Tas kept working and Brigitte finally went to the bed and pulled the covers back and saw Anna did not look right.She was laying in her own feces on her right side and her face was splotchy with blue and purple and her jaw was slack with her mouth open and her lips were blue.
Moe and others said they found it strange she was sleeping in the nude because she never does that.She always wears either a big t-shirt,panties and a top or long PJ's.She had a modesty issue and was self conscience that her left nipple was deformed due to breast surgery.

-Dr. Perper officially stated her body was still warm while arriving at the hospital and likey passed away no more than an hour before being found or en route to the hospital.The PI and other sources defute this stating she was wrapped in 2 large blankets,a duvet and comforter,which would have retained body heat and she could have been dead since early that morning.

-This part is complicated and I am hoping I have every detail correct.
On the first visit to DL,Larry put a towel on his shoulder because he was scared she would drool or spit up.She certainly did spit up,a great amount,and Howard tore the towel off his shoulder and said I bet you would love to have that,wouldn't you?
On Larry's second visit to DL,Howard turned the tables and told him if he didn't sign off on these contracts making Howard executor,he would not allow him to touch or hold DL.He told him he could hold and kiss YOUR BABY all he wanted and he would not fight the DNA or custody anymore as long as Larry signed these contracts.He used the phrase YOU CAN HAVE YOUR BABY about 3 times and this was before any DNA testing.
On the next visit,LB and DL did a photoshoot for OK! magazine on Howard's terms.
This was stated by LB's personal security officer he hired.

31266. Mrs. Marple and Bahama Nana and other truth seekers,

Face and Swim and all their variants do not read source material. Do not expect a discussion based on the information in Rita Cosby's book by them. They haven't even bothered to read O'Quinn's response, and when asked, can't be bothered to discuss what they claim is the great response by Stern to O'Quinn.

Sorry to say, but their posting behavior is troll-work. They deride the comments of others, post only comments from Stern apologists like Harris, attack people like Virgie Arthur, and avoid at all times the point of this thread: that Anna's doctors are under investigation because of the prescriptions they wrote, drugs that KILLED her. Drugs written in STERN'S name.

We will persevere, read all information, search for facts, and discuss them. The only people who fear free speech are those who have something to hide.

31267. Good Evening---
Forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht says Daniel died from a combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro that led to cardiac dysrhythmia. Howard hired him....and then-he whitewashed his report? Something is wrong here--Who did the first autosy? That person got fired because of talking about it being suspicious? Are the results known? It's being hushed up?-Don't you think that O'Quinn has investigated and talked to that M.E. and knows the truth? Is the first M.E. on the list as a witness for Daniel's inquest?

31268. IF HKS was such a great guy, Daniel would be alive, Anna would be alive, Dannielynn would be Annabel and her mother would be watching her take her first steps soon.

31270. LB

DO says she is NOT one of the sources to Rita Cosby.

DO tried to take credit for the Bahamian Attorneys work.

DO wanted him to go on Oprah for a publicity stunt.

DO pulls one PR stunt after another, just like she handled my case with Anna.

DO wants media money from LB's exclusives, where she claims these exclusives are exploiting but asking for $$ from them.

DO lost Hoff case and fired.

DO has LONG history with Rita Cosby and in this particular case, since the getgo. It will be 'explosive'
