1. hmmmm...

Is Mr. Stern setting up an alibi?

[BayCityProgressive]

2. that's what I thought.

3. Means, motive, opportunity.

It hasn't been ruled a homicide (yet) but, if Mr. Stern is not at least "a person of interest" in the death of Anna Nicole, something is very wrong.

4. Losing a child is the most difficult lose. It may have been too much

for her with everything else.

5. When I first heard about this my immediate thought was

suicide, that perhaps her son's death was just too much. But with sleazy shyster Stern in the picture, I don't know. It's all very messy.

6. he's not legally her husband

they were never legally married. Which means that if he is not the biological father of the baby, then he has no claim to any money she left - other than "attorney's fees' since he claims to be her attorney.

9. If they're not married

he has no claim, even if he is the father.
Any money is the child's.

11. right but he could raise the child

and get access to the money saying that he needed it for the child's expenses - which are his own expenses.

12. It will depend on where her residence is determined to legally be at the time of her

death and then there will be the issue of that state or country's laws regarding common law marriage.


Also if she had a will she can leave whatever property in here estate to whomever she wishes.

13. The Will could be contested

As she and anyone who has been following her life story knows.

[RB TexLa]

14. Of course, anyone's will can be contested and many are

Very common thing to happen.

7. Shocking.

Somebody who spent the last twenty years boozing and drugging wanted to die?

Why, I'd think they were in love with life.

It must be some sort of conspiracy.

8. Howard Stern isn't her husband.

They had a ceremony but not a legal marriage ceremony. The new info is that they were planning to have a legal ceremony on Feb. 23.
