Howard K. Stern: Number one suspect in the death Anna Nicole Smith's son

| | Comments (72) | TrackBacks (0)

Howard K. Stern is definitely suspect number one in the upcoming inquest to determine how Anna Nicole Smith's son, Daniel, died especially since Smith is now dead herself.  At this point, his testimony is vital in determining what happened to Daniel.

Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez, presiding over the March 26 hearing, said Anna Nicole would have been a material witness.

"Her death has caused us to lose the weight of her evidence, but at the same time, it has also increased the interest in the inquest because of the way in which she died. She also died suddenly, her son died very suddenly," Gomez told the Bahamas Journal.

Toxicology reports show that Daniel died of a lethal mix of prescription drugs including methadone and lexapro.  Anna Nicole's cause of death has not yet been released. 

While the inquest's primary goal will be exploring the cause of the son's death, the court also will "look with interest at the cause of (Anna Nicole's) death as well."

Daniel Wayne Smith died September 10 while visiting his mother and newborn sister, Dannielynn, at Doctors Hospital in Nassau.  Anna Nicole Smith died on February 8 while vacationing in Florida.

A custody battle between Anna Nicole's mother Virgie Arthur, her ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead and Stern is currently underway.

Howard K. Stern loved Anna with all his heart and soul. He was her sanity and protector. What he could not forsee is that when he entered her personal life and crossed the line of his professional life into her life, he was entering her dysfunctional life which would require all his energy to surmount.

This dysfynctionality is now manifest in charges of suspicion in his involvement in Daniel's death. This is false. He has nothing to do with Daniel's death nor,for that matter, with Anna's death. It will be a while before he is steering clear again but know that the energy of confusion, deception, maliciousness is not Stern's. These energies have been imposed on him. They are NOT his energies.

Mr. Stern's parents and siblings are emotionally healthy people.He comes from a wholesome family background. He will be able to set things right if other people's negative energies do not win the day.

Whether he is the biological father of Dannielynn or not, Anna intended Mr. Stern to be the father because his name is shown on the birth certificate. He loves Dannielynn.(Did you see the video in the delivery room?_ It is clear to see. I think Mr. Stern should have custody of Dannielynn.

Light, blessings and peace to Mr. Howard K. Stern

Loren said:

Could not agree more with Grace. But on the other hand, I think both men are very attached to the baby emotionally, as they were to her mother. Howard is raising her and bonding with her and he is the only parent Danyelynn has at the moment. Anna's preference for her child's dad was clearly expressed, regardless of whose sperm ended up inseminating Anna. But if it was my sperm (and if I had grounds to think such thoughts) and if I thought it was my child and if I spent all my waking hours dreaming about uniting with my baby, I’d be crushed not to be allowed. I think the more love the baby is surrounded with, the better. I would love it if they could work out a visitation schedule that both can have a chance to contribute, instead of trying the adversarial approach. Getting a barracuda lawyer like Debri most likely rules it out, which is sad. They are all doing the best they could at the moment. Light, blessings and peace to all involved, and you!

If Howard K. Stern was, in fact, ANS's source of sanity and protection, I hope he had retained the best legal counsel her money can buy -- or perhaps he plans to plead temporary insanity! This man has the darkest demeanor I've seen since Bill Clinton said "I did not have sex with that woman." Although in Mr. Clinton's defense he did at least look into the camera when he said it on national TV. Mr. Stern has long since abandoned the laughter and smiles he had when hanging on in ANS's shadow. Now the man can't even make eye contact when interviewed. He definitely has something to hide besides the baby's paternity! His behavior is despicable and I hope that he is held responsible for any involvement he may have had in the deaths of ANS and her son. Furthermore, this is the last man in the controversy that should be taking care of an infant -- any infant! He is bad, bad news. We may never know the whole truth, but I am without doubt that this man is anything but "wholesome" or "innocent" based solely on his own actions!

Sandra L. said:

Howard seems to have an unreadable demeanor. This does not make him a murderer! As for Larry Birkhead....he is going overboard with this paternity suit. How come he doesn't have some of the baby's DNA from when she spit up on him? How come he hasn't already gone for the paternity test? Why has he chosen to deny contracts he signed with her, regarding the use of his photographs of her, and also the signing off on fatherhood, which he declared in June of 2006.
I don't think anyone killed ANS. Howard was with her for years, she trusted him, she referred to him as her best friend. He may have enabled her drug usage, but I doubt he even did much of that. Many people enabled her drug usage, witness the doctor(s) who easily wrote prescriptions for her. She was Anna Nicole Smith, and people fawned on her, and did her bidding. We can look at Shane Gibson and see this. We can look at Howard Stern and see this. Does that make him a murderer? I do not think so.

John said:

Howard Stern is guilty. You don't hang out with dysfunctional people like ANS and want to be with them and marry them if you are sane. Stern wanted the money. He's got more than just a dark side - he's in this up to his eyeballs. And Grace, many a murderer has come from a stable family; just as some of the best people in the world have come from dysfunctional families. That means nothing. YOu're stereotyping. You need to look at the facts. He is a suspect. He was around Daniel when he took an overdose of drugs. He supported ANS abuse of drugs by just being with her while she was taking them, and even shooting a video of her while she was drugged out. He didn't care enough about her or either child to say antying to her about her drug problem. Personally, I think he had a lot to do with it. A lot more than any of us realize. I think he's being watched closely right now by the police. Interesting also is that just prior to Anna's death, her mother goes on public tv, CNN and pleads with her daughter to get away from Stern or he'll put an end to Smith's life the same way he put an end to Daniel. Anna died just as her mother had warned. She was trying to get Anna to listen, but Anna wouldn't listen because Anna Nicole was too used to gettting her own way and Stern reinforced that. All for the dollar. He was all bout the money. Police are investigating Daniels' death. Police are looking into Howard Stern in both Anna's and Daniels deaths. Being a lawyer, he probably knows what he's up against and is probably trying to bury evidence. It's too late for that. For Howard right now, it's tick tock, tick tock, just a matter of time. GUILTY!

He's probably hoping most people would think a lawywer wouldn't try a stunt like this. Because he's a lawyer, police have to tread carefully around this. They want to make certain they've uncovered everything. By the way, Anna Nicole's body guard has some pretty interesting and damaging evidence against Stern. And one last thing, Stern is so afraid he'll be found out and lose custody of Larry's daughter, that he's doing what he can to prevent having to take a dna test. Right now the police aren't pushing that. They've got bigger fish to fry.

Jai said:

I think he had something to do with it. When asked who supported him financially, he said Anna-Nicole. And when asked who he lived with during certain moments in time, it was his parents. He is a grown-man, work a job, get paid, pay the bills, pay the taxes, & die. I think he had something to do with her death & her sons death. But thats just me.

maddie said:

I think Howard is getting a bad wrap...if you saw the interviews w/Anna it was quite obvious she didn't want anything to do w/Larry Birkhead!! He
was a passing fling, and wasn't even in her life that long, as with some of these other so called friends, Shelly Ford, she knew him for about a year, when she dated his father in law. And look @ what he has done releasing all these pictures, videos, etc. to the media, claiming she wanted him
to go & take these things from her house. I seriously doubt it. All the people in her "real"
inner circle believed she wanted to be w/Howard &
wanted him to be the father of her baby!! Larry
just wants the money, he knew she had just gone to court recently, and that's why he was hounding her!!

Retired in Belize said:

I like both Howard and Larry, Anna choose her close friends with genuine heart in my opinion.
I strongly feel that None of Us know anything for sure, we haven't walked in either of their shoes.
Anna chose Larry to be Dannilyn's DAD, but if Larry is the father he should have some rights.
Some of the comments I read make me think you haven't lost your best friend/lover/husband, I have and let me say I was somber for YEARS! NOw I can fake a smile 5 yrs later. We all react differently and shouldn't be judged.
And please are some actually saying they feel Howard drugged either of them to death, please.
They made the choice on their own to obtain / use / drugs I'm certain of that. A loved one CANNOT stop one that wants to abuse drugs. And an enabler is not guilty of murder.
Anna chose not to have her mother in her life and we have to accept her decision. Many adults react the same way when they have had a less than pleasant childhood. That too I understand.
Let's pray for all to find peace and have the strength to care for little innocent Dannilyn.This to me is just too sad.

Mary Poppins said:

Personally, I don't care who ANS choice to be Dannylynn's Dad was. She was stoned most of the time--watch her interviews people, look at her private videos, listen to her friends. Poor little Dannylynn with parents that cared so little for her welfare. Would you pull some drug addict prostitute from the Bronx who had supplied her older child with the drugs that killed him and ask her whether her pimp, dealer or john should be the father of her newborn child? Would you ask a heroin addict who had used while pregnant whether or not the guy that supplied her with drugs while she was pregnant would make a better daddy than the biological one? Absolutely not. Nobody would care who that drug addict thought should be the father of her child, because nobody would trust her judgement. Wake up people, this isn't what ANS wants for Dannylynn. She wasn't watching out for the welfare of her child, she wasn't taking care of herself as a responsible mother who needs to care for her child. And guess what, neither was Mr. Stern. Parents who care for their child don't give them drugs in the womb, and don't run off to Florida to abuse drugs while their five month old is in another country. What's best for the baby, that's all that matters. These people are disgusting.

I have read all emails and wish to make several comments....
1. The only people who will win are the lawyers...they will end up with the most money!
2. May I suggest that those men claiming paternity...file in the Bahamas....I personally feel that ALL Judges in America will bump this back to the Bahamas!!!
3. Prince Frederick...Zsa'OM..not only claims that he may be the father of the baby .... BUT NOW HE IS SUING Bill O'Reilly for $10mil.....if I were Zsa I would give him the BOOT!!!!
4. Another paternity claimant is currently in jail, however {IF AND WHEN HKS ALLOWS A SWAB OF THE BABIES MOUTH it is found that neither HKS, nor Larry, nor Prince Frederick, nor the person in jail, {not forgetting that the sperm of Marshall could have been used}....and of course all others who will get on the "bandwaggon"....gosh it could be me {oops sorry I am female}...then we really do have a dilemma. I hope that all tests take place before we end up in court deciding who should look after Dannielynn.
5. IT IS SIMPLE...SWAB THE BABIES MOUTH!!!!
6. We are currently awaiting the Coroner's findings for Daniel....this will drag on but probably drugs will be involved!
7. The cause of death for ANS has already been decided {but not yet publicised}...however....?DID SOMEONE GIVE HER DRUGS?, if not ?WERE THOSE PEOPLE WITH HER ?ENABLING HER TO TAKE DRUGS?...and of course WHO WERE THE SUPPLIER OF THE DRUGS...{I don't care under what name}
8. If HKS cared about ANS and the baby then he would have made sure that she received the correct medical attention.
9. Virgie is her Mum and does have some rights, however I feel that she shouldn't be the sole provider for Dannielynn.
10. ONCE IT IS PROVEN THAT LARRY IS THE DAD THEN HE SHOULD BE GIVEN SOLE CUSTODY OF HIS DAUGHTER!!!
11. HKS SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR "ENABLING" ANS WITH DRUGS!!!
12. This is such a farce....do a DNA test on the baby and let everyone get on with their lives.
13. ALLOW THIS "DEBARCLE" TO CONTINUE .... YOU ARE DEPRIVING THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER HIS RIGHT TO BOND WITH HIS DAUGHTER....
14. This is such a sad situation...come on America....DO THE TEST...NOW!!!!

Thanks for listening to someone from Western Australia.

Cheers Jill XXX

I believe Howard Stern did kill Daniel Smith and then Anna. I believe he knew that Daniel did not trust him and he wanted Daniel out of the way so he could continue controlling Anna Nicole. If you look at the facts that 1- Daniel died 2- Anna was the only other witness to what happened in the Bahamas hospital 3- Now Anna's dead. That is much more than just coincidence, I believe it is murder. I hope if the U.S. doesn't get him, the Bahamas do.

this man is sick i knew from day 2 that he had something to do with both annas death and her son
it doesnt take arocket scientence to see that this man killed them both its too much of a coincidence not for it to be the truth why would her son die unexpectedly than shortly after that she dies and hes the only one around them both but just like oj simpson got away with the murder of his wife so will howard k stern now that the focus is off of him for some kind of bull shit alby deep down inside he jumping for joy smiling and everyone knows there is so much controversey he will be a free man because no one would ever think that he did it the focus is not on him ,theres still the baby issue and the system is so stupid that there main focus is to see what howard will do instead of reality there going by the laws of gravity rather than put his ass on the hot seat and in these last days no one wants to see the truth for what it is they only see it when they see fit this whole thing is about money not the truth so with that said no matter what any bodys opinon is that is what is about point blank.

Jacque said:

Larry Birkhead is the last man Anna wanted to have as the Daddy of her baby. I hope the Bahamian courts will see that Anna went to great lengths to make her intentions apparent. It was Howard Stern whom she named as the father and her wishes should be the only ruling factor in this case. God protect HKS and Dannielynn.

Carol Foster said:

Because of all the players, and two of them cannot speak their truth, I wonder if we will ever have a full understanding of what really happened between those four people, Daniel, Anna, Howard, and Larry, the four main players in this real life soap opera. This is a double cautionary morality tale and a jumbled legal tale, but I struggle to find the lessons that are present because I still as yet cannot get a firm grip on what is the actual truth. Was Howard Stern a devoted friend of Anna, or was he less than that? A supposed friend who had his own agenda, and for whom she and Daniel weren't valuable human beings, but means to some murky, greedy end. I would hate for the person whom she seemed to believe in turned out to be the most dangerous person to her and her son of all. It definitely causes thought, but again, back to my itial question, what is the real truth about what happened to Daniel and Anna Smith? Who loved them for themselves, who was only using them for other agendas? I hope the littlest Smith finds her way to those people who will love her in a healthy and supportive manner, where she can overcome this sad legacy she is left with.

Linda Dunn said:

Daniel went to a private investigator and was afraid for his mother. He told the investigator he was afraid of HKS. He died within 24 hours of arriving in the Bahamas. Three people were in the room, two are dead! Hmmm! The investigator said Daniel had a dream of seeing his mother in a coffin. Hmmm! Daniel was the first heir to her estate, then HKS. Hmmm!

Now, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Anna would spiral down into a drug riddled abyss of grief that she could never survive. He had a monetary motive, being the next heir to her estate, and also had his name on that birth certificate. Although her will was declared invalid for excluding Dannielynn, he had that angle covered, too. He's not the baby's Daddy, but just can't let go of the CA$H that may come to the kid!

All he had to do was keep Anna supplied with lots of drugs and turn a blind eye until she offed herself, "accidentally". He was well aware of her death wish (having assumed the Marilyn persona). Her death was inevitable, I believe. It's very weird that she died with a qualified nurse and paramedic around. Their complete lack of effectiveness is astounding. You just DO NOT permit someone in her state to refuse medical treatment! With that kind of fever, she wasn't able to make a rational decision about her own precarious condition!

Howard claims to have loved Anna - he had a really strange way of showing it! Apparently, the yacht mattered more on the day she died.

So, Howard is a textbook case of controller / manipulator. Now he's trying to control and manipulate the Bahamian justice system by appealing the DNA order and the inquest by jury. He doesn't want jurors, he wants the judge to decide. He seems to think it would be easier to manipulate one judge. He obviously has no control over what the 40+ witnesses will say. That must be driving him crazy!

I think he had something to do with Daniel's death; but, conveniently for him, the only other person in the room (Anna) is dead and cannot physically testify. I don't know if anything can be proven, or if there will be enough circumstantial evidence to warrant a charge.

I found the comment by ikrunnels, on the Answerbag website interesting:
"Like when he pulls out the pouch of drugs from under Anna's bed and tells Ford Shelley that he HAS to keep it away from Anna or she might OD. THAT LADIES AND GENTS IS STAGING THE SCENE."

This seems to be a consistent thread in his actions, because I keep thinking about Ford Shelley saying that Howard found 2 white tablets in Daniels pants and flushed them down the toilet, while Ford Shelley was telling him he should leave them alone. This single action just didn't make any sense to me. It seems like evidence tampering. If Daniel had drugs in his pocket, then why flush them? Wouldn't that have given credibility to the idea that Daniel died by his own actions, if the pills were methadone? Why flush the pills? Now, if he planted the pills there and then staged finding and flushing them, then it looks like he's trying to protect Daniel's reputation or some such non-sense. The only thing is, Daniel didn't have a prescription for methadone and wasn't a druggie. So, if he got methadone, I suspect he got it from Howard.

I don't think Daniel knowingly took the methadone. Howard went out to pick up food for them alone and returned with the food. I think he put the methadone in Daniel's food , personnaly. Then staged discovering pills in Daniel's pockets, to make it look like those were his pills, to implicate Daniel in his own demise. This was before the autopsy report was done. This was later in the day on which Daniel died. Nobody knew it was a drug OD at that time (except Howard, apparently.) So, I believe this was staging, too. That's the only logical explanation to me for Howard's strange behaviour.

Also, as a controller, he doesn't really know the meaning of love. He wanted to own her! That's why he was isolating her. He couldn't own her or control her. She slept around, and there was nothing he could do about it. If he couldn't own her, I believe he suffered from a lot of jealousy and frustration. The "commitment ceremony" was his idea and was just another example of "staging". Howard turned her into his personal zombie by filling her brain with drugs. This guy should have been an actor instead of a lawyer.

HKS is a scumbag! The baby should be with her biological father. She looks like Larry Birkhead. HKS should be in hell!
