Celebrity Justice
Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

TMZ has learned the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a criminal investigation into several doctors who prescribed various medicines to Anna Nicole Smith.

Sources tell TMZ the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement has contacted Larry Birkhead, Big Mo (Anna's bodyguard) and others. We're told DOJ is particularly interested in two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor. TMZ broke the story that Dr. Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna under an assumed name when she was eight months pregnant. Dr. Eroshevich ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

Dr. Eroshevich, who was in the Bahamas with Anna, sent the prescription wish list to Dr. Kapoor. Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, told TMZ "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

The Medical Board of California launched its own investigation of the two doctors earlier this year. That investigation is pending.

By the way, TMZ has learned Dr. Kapoor is in the process of having twins via a surrogate.

pickle-perker didnt do a test for either nails or hair.
does tht blow you away or what?
this FBI person has so many reasons to reopen this thing i just cant see them denying.

how could perper put his reputation on the line like that? i guess he thought surely, no
one would question the seminoles once his findings were done.

if perper is found lacking in this its going to blow his credibility as an expert witness on cases to shreds.

RETIRED AGENT CALLS FOR ANNA NICOLE 'MURDER' TO BE INVESTIGATED



A retired FBI special agent is leading the charge to re-open the investigation into ANNA NICOLE SMITH's death - because he's convinced she was murdered. Ted Gunderson has been fired up by new evidence the tragic model/actress' nurse claims was left off Smith's autopsy report. He's convinced that new information about faeces nurse Tasma Brighthaupt located in the bed where she found Smith, and marks on the actress' body, suggest she was already dead when paramedics were called to her suite at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel + Casino in Florida in February (07). As a result, Gunderson feels the corpse should have been left where it was and the room should have been sealed as a crime scene. Instead, Smith's lifeless body was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The retired agent tells American publication the Globe, "Based on her (Brighthaupt) comments, there had to have been a cover-up involving Anna Nicole's death. "From the beginning, this should have been investigated as a crime scene." A month and a half after the tragedy, Broward County, Florida Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper ruled Smith had died of an "accidental overdose" of prescription drugs and sleeping pills.

9785. Ain't gonna happen, Howard is innocent.

You got the proof, tell the US and the Bahamas experts, who you antinoids have slandered. They are waiting to hear from you. They need someone to prove them wrong.

What's stopping you. Could it be you are WRONG. You are under the impression you have to prove the Howard supporters on this site wrong.

NO! NO! NO! you have to prove the absolute experts wrong! Can you do it? If so prove it!

Everyone tells me Anna's looks changed and her demeanor as well. I did hear her videos and she sounded like another person, nothing like her former years. That was an indication that drugs had her in an altered state. Of course she never had the positive support she needed. Anna had to have enablers in her circle or they would have gotten the proverbial boot. Thats a major sign of drug addiction.

Heres hoping you receive your transplant real soon....maybe it'll be Santa's little gift, but i'm sure whenever it happens you will be thankful and appreciative.

May you have God's blessings through Jesus Christ for the hope and the occurance of your successful operation.

Perhaps you should contact the doctors or Perper if you want concise proof, unless you are prepared to accept blogg speculation, tabloid and media differing renditions of the truth. Good luck.

THANKS, if your unintelligent post is the best you can offer then you prove my point, you have no proof to offer the official US and Bahamas experts you slandered that Howard is guilty of any crime.

I don't dream, I deal in facts, you have proved you are the dreamer, no facts, no evidence and you cannot produce anything new for the experts to work on. They have already covered every avenue, guess what........NO FOUL PLAY, ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE.

9795. ANNA NICOLE SMITH will speak from beyond the grave when a series of taped interviews are published for the first time. The former model speaks for hours about her life including alleged childhood sex abuse and her marriage of billionaire husband J. Howard Marshall in the audio tapes, recorded by her former manager Joyce Wagner. Wagner, a veteran entertainment journalist, tells the New York Daily News Smith made the tapes in the hope of striking a book deal. Wagner is preparing to release them to networks three months after the star died from a drug overdose. She says, "A lot of people are trying to tell her story. This is Anna talking about who she was. "I feel morally compelled to put her words out there."
