Anna's Assistant: Howard Didn't Kill Her

After being MIA for two weeks, Kim Walther, Anna Nicole Smith's friend and former assistant was found, and has finally spoken out about Anna's death.

In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight," Walther shot down rumors that Howard K. Stern murdered Smith and her son Daniel, saying "It's not possible, Howard would never, ever do anything to hurt Daniel or Anna ... I really wish people would leave them alone."

Walther also says she witnessed Anna and Howard "being intimate" with each other, and knew Smith was hooked on prescription drugs including methadone, saying, "For the most part she could handle it ... there are times where it was clear she didn't handle it as well."

3032. Ode to Anna Nicole & Howard K Stern:

Food for thought ...

Excerpts from "Crime & Punishment" by Kahlil Girbran:

The murdered is not unaccountable for his own murder,
And the robbed is not blameless in being robbed.
The righteous is not innocent of the deeds of the wicked,
And the white-handed is not clean in the doings of the felon.
Yea, the guilty is oftentimes the victim of the injured,
And still more often the condemned is the burden bearer for the guiltless and unblamed.
You cannot separate the just from the unjust and the good from the wicked;
For they stand together before the face of the sun even as the black thread and the white are woven together.
And when the black thread breaks, the weaver shall look into the whole cloth, and he shall examine the loom also.

3033. I still maintain that Howard had Anna under his complete control.

Does anyone remember the ET interview with them both a few months ago where Anna stated that she may be pregnant and that Howard always wanted a boy? Then, afterwards she said something like, "just kidding ya'all". She was doped up as usual and I think Howard told her to say that so that people would think they were intimate.

3034. Hey everyone!

3035. Homegirl,
I have seen plenty of footage where Anna describes her hatred of her mother and I also saw where she talked about being raped. You sent this info to Lynda, so if she still doesn't "get" why Vergie was a bad person, maybe she' s just really naive.
I saw it right from Anna's own lips and Howard didn't tell her to say it, he just knew about it cause she told him!

3036. Smartypants, Ive already told Homegirl, I believe her. If you read through previous posts youll see that. What I hesitate to believe, given the context it was said in (her anger at her mother) is its truthfulness. I am not naive, I tend not believe everything I hear. I had this kind of conversation with someone else on here and this other person couldnt find any other 'proof' of abuse. If you can point out these other stories, by all means point them out to me.

Her 10 year 'hatred' for her mother as Ive stated now twice before on this board, stems for her mom banding with her Aunt, in siding with Marshalls side that Marshall wanted her to take from the marriage just what he gave her. She didnt just wake up when she was 29 (10 yr gap) and say I hate my mother because of rape. Before the trial Anna and her mom kept in contact and her Aunt lived with her and Marshall. Her mom met Marshall and liked him. The riff was because the family could jeopardize her claim in the case, so she was told to distance herself from them......What is it that people cant understand about this?!

Her mom also wanted her to stop abusing drugs, her mom went to pick her up from a rehab facility. Geez, why do you just pick out one thing and only see that, I dont get it.

Its like people on these boards have picked their sides and are just into the cheering on their side based on sound bites and emotion. I try to use logic with what I see and hear, based on the whole situation.

3037. Hey there Patty girl....
Well, IMO..Anna was in a serious rage...... that day....regarding what her mother said on TV, about her .......after Dan died.
So she went off.......and told everything on National TV..I took it like this ....".HA-HA....here you go Mommie Dearest...let's tell the entire world all about You."
The way she said it...was more like a question..."Do all of you....want to know about my mama "??? .I was posting... that there was anger and rage in Anna..I saw it in that interview....I could feel the hate...for Virgie

My post was to Lynda...explaining......I believe much of what Anna said was the real reason she hated her mom...I don't think it was only because Virige...said get off the drugs....

Really ...Virgie had no control of Anna .... after she got married at 17...and left home...so why did Anna still hate her after all this time?? And not sure about anyone else, IMO wouldn't you be embarrassed to tell people that your own dad..or any member of your family raped you, or whatever else happened to her...in that home??
I don't know .....makes me NOT WANT ANYTHING to do with my family...FOREVER !!

Who would want to talk about that....or tell anyone ...that's a horrible experience to talk about.....Why would she have ever mentioned it before...why would she ?? It would be a secret ..never to talk about...but her mother caused her to go there...bring it up...That's my opinion...of the story...

3038. hey...Lynda ......I have no side..just sharing info, facts when I find them, bitching when necessary...opinionated...and a bouncer ...for people I agree with...that's all.... I am smack dead on center....no love for anyone...I liked Anna...crazy chick...don't know much about Stern...but would not call him a murderer.....
I knew ..O J..and Scott Peterson were murderer's always said it...I believe Robert Blake got away with murder too...I just say what I feel t...mostly..

Smartypants thanks for mentioning you saw the interview..and what you saw and heard..that's all I was doing as well.....
peace all......

3039. Hey Homegirl101 - How you doing tonight? Good, I hope. I understand what you are saying and yeah, I too probably wouldn't even announce on TV I was raped. But that is Anna. Like I said, we will probably never know either way. I really don't have much of an opinion of Virgie. I just don't know that much about her until now. The mother part of me feels for her pain, if she is sincere about Anna, but I am glad that Anna is finally buried!!! And with Daniel. I just wanted her to be buried wherever she would have wanted to be. And as far as HKS, I wouldn't consider him a murderer either. However, I do believe he was an enabler, which I have posted in the past. My main concern is for Dannielynn, because she is a baby and really doesn't have a voice. I hope that paternity is declared soon, for Larry or Howard. Although, you know, I think Larry is the dad. Well homegirl, enjoy your weekend, and we'll post soon.....

3040. Anyone remember that BABY SEDATIVES were found in the hotel room of ANS? !!!!!

Howard K. Stern was not heard from for a good day and a half after ANS died, and Atty. Ron Rale (Stern's long time buddy) told everyone that he was grieving inconsolably.

My theory is that since Howard's sister went to the Hard Rock Hotel in Florida to console Howard before going to the Bahamas, perhaps she took the baby Danilynne back to the Bahamas quickly before Howie arrived with ET proving that Howie flew alone. When Howie gets to the Horizons house in the Bahamas his mother and sister Bonnie are already there with the baby.

I wonder if the Hard Rock hotel has surveillance cameras in the hallway showing the comings and goings of guests and babies. Maybe Mo's errand was to get that baby out of the hotel room.

Makes sense to me

3041. Hey Briggs, I hold about the fentanyl lozenges early on in these blogs then it kinda faded out. It could very well be that Moes errand was to get the baby out if in fact they had her there. There are alot of inconsistencies in all this, I have to say.

The only person Ive seen express any real grief is the guy Frankie that said he had lupus the rest all seem like talking heads...weird!

3042. OOps sorry, I heard about* typing faster than I think :c)

Posted at 10:30PM on Mar 3rd 2007 by Lynda

3043. Briggs..wouldn't airlines have that type info..baby on board...etc. or...are you under the impression they drove? Or what...Sterns sister came from where...where does she live ..I'm tired ...so dumb question...why would they have to keep it a secret that the baby was in FL..
I heard that HS called the nanny/nurse in Bahamas... when Anna died ...told her to leave the house with the baby ...and to go somewhere safe...no one home when Shelley broke in..right?

Posted at 10:44PM on Mar 3rd 2007 by homegirl101

3044. I think Stern called ahead and said move the baby out....Shelleys story as to why he went an took the things he did was because he got a report-- people were moving things out of the house (baby stuff) so he went there to 'secure' it....

Posted at 10:52PM on Mar 3rd 2007 by Lynda

3045. Hey..Lynda right on .....(about Shelly) and he ..quickly had to get there from SC..or NC... to Bahamas....hummm not sure how I feel about him...either...

Briggs posted above saying or wondering...that the baby may have been in FL..Howie had her quickly returned to the Bahama's when Anna died? Wondering how or why... and posted my response to the comment above...
