Homicide Meeting in Anna Nicole's Death

Anna Nicole SmithFlorida police have looped-in homicide prosecutors in the death Anna Nicole Smith, according to the Miami Herald.

The newspaper reports that officials have confirmed the meeting but wouldn't elaborate.

The paper claims Seminole cops aren't the only ones on the hunt. The police chief in the Bahamas is in South Florida right now, meeting with his counterparts.

As TMZ first reported, Anna's bodyguard, Big Moe, was interviewed by Seminole cops last week. We're told Big Moe told the cops that Howard K. Stern had given Anna drugs during the last months of her life.

Broward County Medical Examiner Joshua Perper announced last week he was delaying his autopsy findings because of two new pieces of evidence, though he was not specific. The cops are now exploring where that evidence leads.

UPDATE: Although officials have now acknowledged there have been meetings, they say no homicide investigation has been launched.

916. RN nurse -

Virgie has been trying to get custody of the baby since shortly after Anna died. She wasn't motivated to do so by anything her attorney may have found out about Howard or Larry since then.

-----------

Also Burkhead has a child in Kentucky. Vergie Arthur's attorney's located the mother and the child and that is perhaps one reason she is going for custody of the baby. She may be worried that he may abandon this child also if he gets custody.

917. People keep asking why Moe and a lot of the others aren't speaking out now. Well could it possibly be that everytime they do speak out you people spin it to suit what ever you want it to asy or mean ???? I wouldn't speak out about any of this myself until things are brought to a close or I was on a witness stand. Then no one could twist and turn my words around.
As for baby seditives being found... that is a joke. There isn't baby seditives that can be purchased by prescription or over the counter. So those who keep repeating that they found them in the hotel room are spreading another falsehood and spin to suit their cause. My brother is an M.D. and I checked with him first and then a pediatrition. I also checked with a pharmacist who also said no. And the tale about as baby bottle in the room. Where arte you people getting that. From a looped up bellhop that wants to feel important. There is no mention of it in the police report or ambulance report.
I think you people are really getting carried away on this and just make up stuff to keep it going. The news reporters don't know everything either. They just put a spin on it to get you to watch their program which gives them higher ratings. And you people fall for it. Just stop and rememebr all the people freed from prison because they were innocent in spite of being found guilty. Will this be another case like that.
It's best although not easy to wait till all the facts are in and they are indisputable before making judgements about anyone.

920. Can Larry please have his daughter "Danielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead" tomorrow?
Please Bahamas????

921. I've never heard one single word about Larry having a baby in Kentucky.

I did hear he had a twin brother. Don't know if that is true either?

I believe hHis family has class because they're staying out of the spotlight. That says a lot for them, and reflects why he is a good person.

UPDATE:: FOX NEWS JUST NOW REPORTED RUMOR IS THAT HER DEATH MAY NOW BE RULED A HOMICIDE!

923. Daniel spoke tro a P.I.
QUESTIONS: so where's the proof....phone records...etc...
do you have proof every time you talk to someone...it probably was off the cuff...no appointment....he met him through another friend...maybe just small talk....one on one...geez...don't be so naive...step out of your box...

924. When Danny died it was reported that a couple in the next room heard Anna shouting to Howard that he had killed her son. If that were the case and it has now come to light that the one person who could kill the gravy train (Danny) had hired a PI to investigate Stern. I am wondering if the police are not suspecting that there might be some validity to that report. If so he could have kept Anna under the influence after killing Danny to protect his interests. Knowing that she could not appear in court as she did on the clown video and that if she did show up at the inquest sober she might have revealed that yes she did believe this and her reasoning for her beliefs could be disastrous to him he had to eliminate her also and entrench himself as father of the baby to maintain the money flow.
If this is a plausible scenario , I would be getting that baby out of his reach asap. Perhaps the best way to determine paternity and who gets the baby is to say any gain from the estate whether thru book deals photos etc etc goes into trust for the baby. Only retrievable at age 25. In the meantime if you get the baby you pay to rear it. If that were done I would imagine the field would narrow significantly

925. How ironic that in death Daniel Smith may help undo the reviling, repugnant, trecherous louse known as Howard $tern. Daniel's contact with a PI regarding concerns about Stern's grip on Anna Nicole, her drug use and Daniel's fear of Stern is the link that surely places Stern under the spotlight. In a "death investigation" police initially zero in on three things:
motive, opportunity, means Other factors also put the puzzle together such as one constant thread in the untimely deaths of two young people. Wonder who that could be in this case?
Anyone who has ever dealt with a family member addicted to drugs knows the hatred an addict releases on family when an effort is made to reveal the provider/source, thus cutting off the supply. The provider is like a cult guru with complete control over the mental state of the addict. It is abundantly clear that Stern cut off Anna Nicole's contact with her family and undoubtedly drilled hateful, negative thoughts into Anna's head, especially toward Vergie Arthur. Daniel was right, Stern was the supreme manipulator.
No real father would foul his own nest by allowing a pregnant woman, supposedly bearing his child, to continue to abuse drugs. The outcome of a damaged child is a given, but what could be a motive for such actions? hmmm. Wouldn't it be so much easier for one to handle all that money if the only heir was a damaged child??? This child is in danger and no one in the Bahamian government seems to give a rip. God help Dannielinn until she gets into the arms of those who will truly love her!

926. I do think that there needs to be more investigating in this case. I do believe that there was a lot of wrong doings in this case. I also believe that there are more people out there that knows what happened to Anna Nicole Smith than we know at this time. I hope that if there was wrong doings that the people who did them will be brought to justice.

927. Howard Stern is guilty and has been from day one. Wake up America!! He's killed 2 people!! He doesn't want that baby and he knows it's not his. He just wants another "Cash Cow"!!!

928. Way to go Bahama's!! it's about time someone over there has made a right decision. Dannielynn needs to be with her Father Larry Birkhead and I cannot wait to see Howard the loser go down the drain. Hmmm!! wonder if he will take his own life now. Sucks to get caught. He was only with her for the money. He admitted it right on the stand in court. What a loser. How could he take advantage of her like that.

929. I am glad everyone is so quick to judge. The only people who truly know are God, Anna and Howard. Those without sin should cast the first stone. You all need to give it a break. People say what they want to hear.

930. i thought that from the very beggining. HK$ is and always was in this for the money that he thought that anna might be getting. He needs to just turn himself in and get it over with. I feel so badly for the baby. She needs to know that her (real) father loves and wants her. So she needs to be with him and not, in my opinion, a muderer. I figured that out right after Daniel passed,(murdered). Get that horrible monster. and throw away the key
