Mystery Man in Anna Nicole's Hospital Room

TMZ knows the identity of the "mystery person" who was in the hospital room the day Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel died. It's G. Ben Thompson.

He's the dude with whom Anna Nicole had a brief affair -- the same man Anna tried to trick into believing Dannielynn was his baby. Anna's scheme was torpedoed when Thompson informed her he had a vasectomy two years earlier.

Thompson says he still owns Horizons, the home Anna and Howard lived in when they moved to the Bahamas. Ultimately, Thompson tried to evict Anna and Howard, claiming they were squatters. Howard still lives there.

31. If GBT and Ford Shelley were totally honest and their claims were true, Stern wouldn't be living at Horizons as part of ANS's estate.
The house would have been returned to GBT by now. The guy messed up and is now paying the price for thinking with the wrong head.
I feel bad for GBT and the Shelley's. The transaction wasn't handled correctly or as GBT wanted it.

32. 14. The Horizon home was Anna's and the courts are saying so now. Tompson was trying to pull a fast one on her. She was to pay him 950,000 but after Daniel died he wanted 1.250,000 because he thought she would pay. Anna had a deed showing the cost of 950,000. Tompson thought she would move out and then he was going to sell the house for 10 million. Tompson has not shown up for court 3 times. He knows he will have to account for break in. Just check out artharris.com that tells you everything. Court paper you can read.

________________________________________________________________

Tell the truth about what is going on, NOT what you want to believe.

The ownership of Horizons was never decided upon in the courts. Thompson decided to withdraw his complaint and take the only real avenue left to him which is to sue those that did not allegely process the property correctly. Ultimately Thompson realized that under Bahamian law, he would have a nearly impossible, if not impossible task of proving the house is his, NOW THAT ANNA IS DEAD (and only if she were dead). There is an article in the Bahamas Journal addressing the difficulties with his case now she is dead.

I agree that Thompson has not shown up for court. Not sure I blame him considering the threats to his freedom and some other alleged threats to his safety.

Personally, I think he thought what he was doing was legal and that the order to not bother the occupants was moot once Anna died. Why else whould he have gone through a judge? I'm breaking and entering, but, by the way, I'm telling the authorities what I am doing? I have full confidence that Anna's things will be returned to their proper owner, Dannielynn, once this garbage has been filtered through.

BTW- There is a substantual percentage added to any property in the Bahamas when sold. Perhaps this government fee is what brought the price up. Only after Daniel died did the 10 mil price come into play.

33. # 2 - Porn-hoJenna has slept with more men in one week than Anna Nic did the last 10 years of her life!!!!! and brags about it. What does it matter how many Anna's had ? - Look at Parasite Herpes Hilton too. Don't throw stones at someone who can't defend herself, please.

34.

Is this another attempt to "STEER" the Focus off of suspected

KILLER Howard K. Stern???

The case for both Vicky Lynn and her son Daniel should be REOPENED Today!!!

It should NOT be filed under Case Closed: cause of Death "Accidental".

It makes you wonder just HOW MANY CASES here in the U.S. is filed under

"ACCIDENTAL DEATH" when the Truth is that it wasn't.

Too many Criminals are getting by with MURDER and

they are as FREE as a BIRD, just like O.J. Simpson!!!

In the meantime, people like Rita Cosby is

$$$ CASHING IN on the Tragedy of the Deaths of Daniel and his mother.

She is PUSHING her book here on TMZ and sounds like
she will make her rounds to the TV media.

I could NOT STAND seeing her and HEARING her

Weird Throaty voice on TV when she was still employed.

Rita figures she is going to make a KILLING off of the book.

I for one WILL NOT help her and Debra Opri become rich by
buying the TRASHY book.

However Larry is Definitely an UNFIT FATHER who

should have Danielynn TAKEN AWAY from him.

Larry is NOT concerned about the safety and welfare of his daughter.

He also is Denying Danielynn from getting to know her maternal Grandma.

Hopefully the Proper Authorities will do a thorough Investigation into both

Larry and Howard and their roles in the Deaths of Daniel and his mother.

That's what the Media should Focus on.

Quite frankly, that (deaths) is what is keeping good, honest, caring

Folks here on TMZ.

Thanks TMZ for giving us the latest info.

Please now give us info on the investigation (lack of) into the deaths of 2 people.

That is what we want to hear and read about !!!

HOW DID POOR DANIEL DIED.......

Posted at 1:23PM on Sep 4th 2007 by I'd look into this MAN!

36. Anna was a waste of space. Worthless and unneeded.

Posted at 1:27PM on Sep 4th 2007 by He was there with DANIEL!

38. Ben Thompson makes all us South Carolinians look bad.

What a loser!

39. No matter what you feel about Larry Birkhead, in the list of characters surrounding this case, he seems to be the best of the bunch to have Dannielynn.

He was about the only one who wasn't around Daniel or Anna when she died.

Thank god he turned out to be the real father.

Posted at 1:46PM on Sep 4th 2007 by In this list of characters

40. So many shady characters in this saga. Larry & Howard are the worse though. For all you people not smart enough to figure it out people hang around druggies for sex & money.

41. The mystery man was Mickey Rooney?

If it weren't for Ben Thompson and his son-in-law Ford Shelly,

we would never have known about the Clown and X-mas video.

Hence, we wouldn't have known just how involved

Dr. Kris and Howard and his "Inner Circle" were in the

Deaths of Daniel and his mother.

We also wouldn't have known about how Howard and Dr. Kris were

Directly involved in Danielynn almost dying BEFORE AND AFTER her birth.

Danielynn's Mental and future physical health could be

Permanently Damaged thanks to those Evil characters.

Both B. Thompson and Ford Shelly handed over and provided

Crucial info and videos as well as the computers to the Proper Authorities.

Too bad that somehow Howard has managed to either

PAY OFF and or Bribe people in power and position to

Not Pursue or Tell the Truth about the Deaths of Daniel and his mother.

This so called "Robbery" story that Howard has

SOLD to the Media and Public is a camouflage.

It is "Another Distration" of Howard's.

Howard can NOT Fool the World about what he did to Daniel and Vicky Lynn.

He will be DOING JAIL TIME.

It is JUST a MATTER of TIME, Howard.

You can count on It.

43. 30. Excerpt from book (Crime Library post)

Per Moe, p. 166-67 "Larry gave Anna ecstacy and cocaine"

Larry testified before Bahamian police officials late January before ANS died. Larry made shocking allegations - this was witnessed by Mark Speer, LA county sheriff's deputy who was doing security for LB October to March. Larry provided details of money funneling, drug use - HKS sending 15 K every other week to his parents in offshore accounts - several million all told
Also Larry told police trimspa was a joke and that Goen knew it. Goen per Larry supplied the human growth horman
Per Mark Speer Larry said he was there when Goen brought the stuff
Larry had a needle with liquid in it that he thought would bring Goen down and that would have fingerprints and ANS DNA on it - he had a plan to bring Trim Spa down. Mark Speer asked why Larry didn't do anything with the evidence said he thought LB was bought off. :O


Posted at 12:56PM on Sep 4th 2007 by Things that make u go hmmm...
we already know that Lb said he did not hire Mark Speers that this was a DO thing and to try to make him something he wasn't is really funny>If he was a Police Ofrficer why wasn't it told about in DO filings? Just like saying that Don Clark was former FBI.SO what? plenty of agents and Police officers have lost their jobs for a lot of different things and unless someone diggs for the info none of us is the wiser.So don't try to make things more than they are it is not credible

Posted at 3:50PM on Sep 4th 2007 by needs to be repeated

44.

Posted at 12:48PM on Sep 4th 2007 by no time to wast on art and his mules

45.

To "Things that make U go Hmmm..." :

Interesting info there.

All the more reason why the case should be RE-OPENED!

WHY, just Why is the Media NOT Focusing on the Important Stuff???!!!

We DEMAND that the Truth come out & that the

CORRUPT individuals responsible for the

DEATHS of Daniel and Vicky Lynn be

Incarcerated for LIFE !!!

We Need ACTION NOW !!!

Let the Investigations Begin.
