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.

anna looked good at the time she was in SC with daniel and they bothed looked very happy and fresh. but everytime i saw anna on tv after the death of daniel she looked worse and worse. face was swollen and had blotches on it that she tired to hide with makeup. her lips puffy. she just didnt look like the anna that had been. she had that "aged" apperance to her also.

I did read the article, but like I say I can't see the picture. I usually have someone explain the pictures to me. I wanted to know what Howard looked like so I asked my father. I can't repeat what he said. :). I can't find one person who likes that man. Only his 2 followers on this blog LOL
But I do remember what Anna looked like but friends tell me her looks changed somewhat at the end of her tragic life.

OK Sinister, Howard is a jerk. You have to let me know if you can see. Anna was a beautiful woman. Howard used and abused her and let other people use and abuse her. He did not stop it.

There you go sternoid, posting without facts, again!

Posted at 2:10AM on Jul 24th 2007 by Mrs. Marple

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You appear to be referring to yourself, look at the post numbers. You don't provide facts you provide what you think are loopholes and then post them as facts, even though the experts have not officially posted the complete official facts. You are so stupid you think that the lack of the complete experts facts not posted means they have missed vital clues.

To many old stupid biddies on this site.

9725. Hair samples make good study for disease and drugs, but blood samples are more accurate for autopsies. But yes, hair samples should have been compared to blood. Hair samples can show how long a particular drug was taken but not precisely how much and exactly when. Fingernails tell the same story as hair as they are the same protein but different molecular structure.

pickle-perker didnt do a test for either nails or hair.
does tht blow you away or what?
this FBI person has so many reasons to reopen this thing i just cant see them denying.

how could perper put his reputation on the line like that? i guess he thought surely, no
one would question the seminoles once his findings were done.

if perper is found lacking in this its going to blow his credibility as an expert witness on cases to shreds.

RETIRED AGENT CALLS FOR ANNA NICOLE 'MURDER' TO BE INVESTIGATED



A retired FBI special agent is leading the charge to re-open the investigation into ANNA NICOLE SMITH's death - because he's convinced she was murdered. Ted Gunderson has been fired up by new evidence the tragic model/actress' nurse claims was left off Smith's autopsy report. He's convinced that new information about faeces nurse Tasma Brighthaupt located in the bed where she found Smith, and marks on the actress' body, suggest she was already dead when paramedics were called to her suite at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel + Casino in Florida in February (07). As a result, Gunderson feels the corpse should have been left where it was and the room should have been sealed as a crime scene. Instead, Smith's lifeless body was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The retired agent tells American publication the Globe, "Based on her (Brighthaupt) comments, there had to have been a cover-up involving Anna Nicole's death. "From the beginning, this should have been investigated as a crime scene." A month and a half after the tragedy, Broward County, Florida Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper ruled Smith had died of an "accidental overdose" of prescription drugs and sleeping pills.

9729. No Peggy, I can't see. But I do very well, thanks to my dog and loved ones. Maybe one day because I am a candidate for a transplant in my right eye.

9730. Ain't gonna happen, Howard is innocent.

You got the proof, tell the US and the Bahamas experts, who you antinoids have slandered. They are waiting to hear from you. They need someone to prove them wrong.

What's stopping you. Could it be you are WRONG. You are under the impression you have to prove the Howard supporters on this site wrong.

NO! NO! NO! you have to prove the absolute experts wrong! Can you do it? If so prove it!

Heres hoping you receive your transplant real soon....maybe it'll be Santa's little gift, but i'm sure whenever it happens you will be thankful and appreciative.

May you have God's blessings through Jesus Christ for the hope and the occurance of your successful operation.

Everyone tells me Anna's looks changed and her demeanor as well. I did hear her videos and she sounded like another person, nothing like her former years. That was an indication that drugs had her in an altered state. Of course she never had the positive support she needed. Anna had to have enablers in her circle or they would have gotten the proverbial boot. Thats a major sign of drug addiction.
