Celebrity Justice
Anna's Dr.'s Office Raided - Howard K. Connection

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the doctor who prescribed Anna Nicole Smith methadone when she was 8 months pregnant has just had his office raided... and we've learned authorities are looking for a connection between the doc and Howard K. Stern.

Anna Nicole Smith

The California Medical Board got a warrant to search Dr. Sandeep Kapoor's Studio City office this morning. Informed law enforcement sources tell us they are looking for prescriptions Kapoor may have written for Howard K. Stern. We're told Medical Board officials want to know if Stern may have used Kapoor to score drugs for Anna -- something Stern has vehemently denied.

The California Department of Justice, Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, has been conducting an investigation into Kapoor since 2007. He has also been under investigation by the Medical Board for his prescription practices. Thirteen days before Smith gave birth to Dannielynn he wrote a methadone prescription for her under an alias, Michelle Chase. Under California law, it's illegal to prescribe a controlled substance under a false name.

Launch PhotosThe raid was conducted by the DEA on behalf of the Medical Board. DEA officials took files and other documents.

UPDATE: Howard K. Stern just released this statement to TMZ: "Dr. Kapoor never prescribed Anna Nicole medication in my name -- and that is what the Medical Board will find out."

211. I find it amazing that some of you are so bold as to outright THREATEN Butterfly. Saying "feed her some CH", "put her out of her misery", etc.
To suggest that Butterfly is so "unstable" that she can be used as a "pawn" is ridiculous. I am so happy for all of you though. It must be wonderful sailing through life with nary a trouble. Funny that the same group of people who counsel Butterfly's associates not to take advantage of her ridicule her at the mere mention of her name. "How dare you take advantage of the poor, stupid, unstable girl? That's OUR job!" Ugh. And to say SHE must be a neglectful parent because of the time she spends online? Time for the lot of you to turn off your computers, take your Prozac and take a nice, long look in the mirror.

No one threatened Butterbutt Ball .... "someone"Doc feel good" also gave ANS her CH! It dont take a rocket scientist to see it was a facetious remark.

213. Has Larry Birkhead received any of the Marshall money for Anna's daughter, Dannielyn? Birkhead and Stern are sueing everyone they can so I was just wondering about the Marshall money for Dannielyn! Birkhead and Stern are a "piece of work", aren't they?

215. First of all, those of you who are calling Anna Nicole a whore and saying you are glad she is dead, you should be ashamed of yourself. Regardless of what YOU think of her, there are always circumstances that provoke people who are weaker in their constitution than others to become addicted to substances of all kinds. I am sure that she wished she wasn't addicted but could not handle some of the crazy crap that was going on around her. But you should think about the fact that she was and is somebody's mother, daughter, sister, aunt, etc. and that they loved her and they miss her regardless of how she died. You should put yourself in their shoes before you get online to a popular website such ast TMZ.com and say horrific things like that. And to those of you who poke fun at that innocent little girl who was born into a life of chaos and craziness, you should be ashamed of yourselves as well. Just remember the comments you make here on this website will be here forever for people to read and see for many, many years to come. It's quite possible while searching for things about her mother as she becomes older and internet savvy that she will see and read your comments. Not only about her mother, but about herself.

I don't know who is should be held responsible for Anna's death, but quite frankly, she is gone, and will never walk this earth again. You can punish everyone involved in her life, but she and Daniel will still be gone and Dannilynn will not have her mother or her brother...EVER.

The only person who sickens me is Anna's mother who continually fights Larry Birkhead for custody of HIS daughter so she can get her hands in the money. Meanwhile, whatever money is there for Dannilynn is being wasted trying to fend off her money hungry behavior. Is sickening.

216. The real deal ,this is how Howard killed Anna. As she laid in her bed with a fever from a boil between her butt, because this is what happens when you have a boil in the wrong spot you run a fever. Howard took a needle full of drugs and shot into her butt, that is how that needle prick got there right before he went on his boat trip . Yes he over dosed her before he left. When you have a boil between your butt you are surely not going to let any one stick anything there but a doc to lance it. Talk to any doc he will tell you this. Howard you are a lieing peice of doooo dooooo . Howard you are a murderer and it is time you went to jail, not only did this dirt bag kill Anna but he also killed that baby boy Daniel. Howard you are not even a good lier, You are about to be exposed for the killer you are. People take a good look at Howard he looks like a drug addict those with eyes let them see. Any body the repersents this fool is just aas guilty as this dirt bag. Holla if you hear me.

217. If she hadn't gotten the 'drugs' from those people, she would have just gotten them somewhere else. And for someone who was supposed to have been on 'drugs' for so long, AND alcohol, she sure looked good. Howard Stern just did what Anna asked him to do, otherwise she would have dumped him. He really cared about her, in my opinion.

218. Stern is a sociopath. He believes his own complex lies. Ironic, he is always in the center of mysterious deaths & acts like he is innocent & concerned. "oh Anna, I am nothing without you" Quite the contrary, you had everything she owned & you kidnapped her baby too. Sickening that it was Anna's money that allowed him to buy his way out of the Bahamas. How many rolex watches did he give away? Where are all of Anna's Jewels, clothes, paintings, & the yacht that stern purchased under his name with anna's money....the day she laid dead in a hotel room. Stern, lawyer turned lap dog, does not have the money to buy gasoline for the yacht. Stern is a pathetic excuse for a man.

219. Stern knew the death of Daniel would destroy Anna. All part of his plan. If he escapes these charges, Let the IRS get him for income tax evasion. He scooped all that he could, including her baby. He kidnapped Dannylynn because he wanted to be the father of her only surviving heir. I could puke when I see this worms face. He was always up anna's ass. Please put this sociopath behind bars & take every cent back. Anna's personal items are often sold on ebay. When I asked where they got the item they always say, Anna gave it to them, which is bs.

222. Re. Dr. "Khristine" i.e Shrink From Hell-- has anyone noticed:
1- trying to look like Anna i.e. "obsession";
2- traces of East European accent although allegedly graduated from Ohio U. some three decades back;
3- bought house next to Anna-Howard
Etc. This gang evidently circled their prey, disarmed it, then swooped down.
