THE ANNA NICOLE DEBACLE
A beautiful woman, a mother, a widow of J. Howard Marshall III, a playboy playmate, an actress; gone at the age of 39 on February 8, 2007 at the Hard Rock Cafe in Miami Florida. Why, no one knows until coroner Joshua Perper, Chief Medical Examiner, finishes his investigation.
But this is what I do know: Larry Birkhead (supposed ex-boyfriend), Virgie Arthur (supposed loving mother and grand mother), and Debra Opri (Attorney for Larry Birkhead) are all in cahoots with one another; fighting for custody rights of a baby and the body of a deceased woman.

Larry Birkhead also made other claims like:
1. Being present with Anna Nicole Smith during a sonogram, but never provided the name of the Doctor who administered the sonogram. This doctor can verify the claims he has made.
2. E-mails sent to Larry Birkhead by Anna Nicole Smith supposedly claiming him as the father, and also denying that she had a relationship with him. He never provided this proof. Why? He is fighting for custody for a baby he
