Bald Truth Flashback: Ford Shelley Locked Out! Was He “Friends” With Anna When She Died?
By Art Harris, (c)www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
In this video flashback–we’re serving up the first in a series of memory jogs to offer inquest-watchers clues to the characters in the sad and twisted tragedy of Hollywood dreams, sex, drugs, greed and lies.
Check out the “good friend” who said Anna asked him to grab all her private items from her home should anything happen to her, then answer our poll questions:
Do you buy it? Did Anna consider FS a friend when she died? Should investigators trust him? Do YOU believe him? Do you think Ford and father in law, G. Ben Thompson, will actually show up for the inquest they have been so vocal about?
Oh, and please help us understand another Ford conundrum video at the end of our piece–in one interview, he says he’s well aware of Anna’s drugs and how to administer them, including methadone, and later, with my old friend, Geraldo Rivera, appears totally dumbfounded about her medicine chest.
We’ll be bringing you more on the clown tape Shelley took from the house the day after she died, but for now, ponder our first news clip, shot by a friend of Anna’s, and later shown on FOX News. It shows the ex-Playboy centerfold locking her so called pal Ford Shelley out of Horizons — and out of her life.
It’s about a month after her son, Daniel, had been buried last fall. Shelley showed up to press Anna to sign a mortgage on a house she says was a gift from his father in law, Ben Thompson, the real estate developer who has since thrown in the towel for a title fight in court over the house he once claimed to own.
Here, Anna tells Ford he’s like all the other users in her life, in this case, pressuring a grief-stricken mother to sign a mortgage for a house she believes she owns, threatening her with eviction and daring to charge several hundred thousand dollars more than the purchase price.
In an interview with a real estate magazine, Shelley boasted not only that he owned the place, but intended to sell it for $10 million, gloating that celebrity inflation from Anna Nicole having lived there would be his ticket to ride.
Meanwhile, sources tell me investigators in the California probe of Anna Nicole’s doctors’ who prescribed her drugs have taken possession of the so called Clown Video, or at least whatever edited version Shelley has turned over.
But Stern lawyer Lin Wood tells me in an exclusive interview he’s put investigators on notice it’s stolen property. Like Florida authorities who had no probable cause to search Anna’s computer Shelley took from Horizons the day after she died, and had to obtain Stern’s permission to view its contents, Wood says California prosecutors will have to do the same thing, if they intend to use the clown tape as evidence. “We’ve got no problem showing it, as long as Howard can be there when they play it, to make sure it’s the original tape,” he told me. “No telling what version they were given.”
Sources close to the California Bureau of Narcotics probe tell us investigators are now finally becoming aware of accusers with multiple agendas to railroad Stern and company in the name of justice, and are factoring in circumstances and motives of accusers like Shelley, Thompson, Team Virgie, and others, who may have a financial stake in the outcome of any prosecution.
In an exclusive interview with The Bald Truth in May, Shelley was asked why he’d jacked up the house price at least a quarter million dollars? He explained he was merely passing on the cost of flying Anna from California to South Carolina to Nassau, sparing no expense, and using his private plane, even though he failed to disclose his accounting to Anna in advance.
Here, he tells her his Daddy In Law, G. Ben Thompson, said she could pay for the house when she could afford it, but the day after her son was buried, tried to have her evicted. Asked why Thompson was taking this route, Shelley reportedly told Stern, “I asked Ben and he said, ‘Let the chips fall where they may.’”
Meanwhile, GBT remains on trial in the Bahamas (in absentia, since he’s skipped every hearing so far) for contempt in connection with allegedly violating court orders allowing Anna to live at Horizons until a court decided title–and faces possible jail if convicted, according to one attorney for Stern.
At the same time, Thompson failed to put up a $100,000 cash bond demanded by the Bahamas Supreme Court to pursue the title fight–and Shelley kept telling me by phone the money was coming, but it never did. For some reason Thompson suddenly dropped his lawsuit to pursue ownership. “I don’t think he wanted to throw good money after bad,” one of his Bahamian attorneys confided.
Meanwhile, sources close to the California drug probe of Anna Nicole’s doctors tell me investigators planned to contact Broward County’s chief homicide prosecutor Brian Cavanaugh to learn more about his dealings with Team Virgie.
Sources tell me Attorney General Jerry Brown’s office was unaware of letters obtained by The Bald Truth indicating how pressure was applied by former FBI agent Don Clark to reopen a closed investigation with no new evidence, but failed, and their interest was further piqued that one of Stern’s most vocal accusers had a colorful criminal history — G. Ben Thompson, the Myrtle Beach businessman who was released in 1988 from federal prison after serving three years for smuggling marijuana (via the Bahamas) and tax evasion.
Stern tells me Anna Nicole was unaware of his pin-striped past when they briefly dated.
In a recent interview, Dr. Joshua Perper, Broward County’s Medical Examiner, told me he’s been in close contact with California investigators and has opened his files to fully cooperate, but said it appeared to be a complex investigation and less clear-cut than at first blush, since the two states had different statutes regarding what constituted a criminal violation in writing and filling medical prescriptions.
Sources close to the drug probe tell me Stern’s accusers hoped to use the Clown video as evidence to show Smith was totally “gorked” out on drugs, and charge her doctor at the time with prescribing narcotics to a known addict, a violation of California law and medical ethics.
But that attempt may go down the drain Wednesday night in the Bahamas, when the Bahamian film festival shows what some critics say has become an underground cult hit, “Illegal Aliens,” the film about a ditzy space alien Anna Nicole finished before she died.
Stern says the character she plays in the film, “Lucy,” is almost identical to the clown-faced goofball portrayed on the stolen clown video Shelley has been touting on talk shows as proof of an Anna on drugs.
“Anna liked to mess with people,” Stern said. “That was just Anna, and that’s what she was doing with Riley at the house. When I told her she was scaring her, she cut it out. But Shelley obviously cut that part out of the tape.”
The Bald Truth has also learned the next hearing for Smith’s doctor’s in California has been put off until February, after a brief hearing last week in Los Angeles Superior Court determined some patient records would remain under seal, according to court spokesperson Sandi Gibbons.

Art, I check your site everday. I always look forward to your updates; knowing what I read is the latest in the fight Howard is encountering. I also know what I read on your site is true and that you are a very ethical, highly respected & very well liked by the majority of people in the investigative business. I also enjoy reading all the comment posted.
December 8th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
Keep digging that hole Ford.
December 8th, 2007 at 9:29 pm
So busy making a buck…didn’t worry about that baby inside her…
Guess I’m sitting on a fence…posting.
December 8th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
And be sure to give Lin Wood my best.
December 8th, 2007 at 9:39 pm
Good article - thanks for getting the truth out. That Judge Sidell should be tarred and feathered for what he did = allowing ANS, Howard, Daniel and others name to be dragged through the mud. DL was not a drug baby - which she would have been if their was any truth to Virgie and Wimp Larry’s drug stories. GBT - got out of jail - he and his son in law had a very pious act going - and their Bahamian lawyer, who they are now suing. How come these folks do not realize that their own lives are open to scrunity? I saw the film where Anna threw them off the property. Jacking up the price of the house is new information to me.
December 8th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
How can anyone, other than Geraldo believe this sneaky
weasel? His shifty eyes and body language prove him for
what he really is!
FS and BT tried to use Anna, and wasn’t for friemdship!
They will be “no-show’s” at the inquest.They’re too
chicken to face the music!
December 8th, 2007 at 10:55 pm
If that clown tape hasn’t been edited I’ll be totally SHOCKED.. If it shows she isn’t druged up then they should see some time behind bars. And your damn right Howard should be there to see the whole tape and if it’s been alterd. But I’m sure forensic computer person can read the tape and tell. What is O’Quinn and Virgie going to do if it shows Anna acting like in her last movie? I knew from the beginning when they wouldn’t show the whole tape something fishy was up with them. I truly believe one of them gave Daniel the drugs and then started a fight with Anna to cover their butts if she pointed the finger at them. They could say, SHE IS JUST MAD AT US FOR WANTING OUR HOME BACK. And when she died they couldn’t get to her home fast enough to steal her items and make sure they had anything that might point to them by her. Like the Dairies, they have yet to give them to Larry. I bet you won’t see them either, she wrote in them and I’m sure she had alot to say about Shelly and Tompson. For someone to say Anna was druged up 24/7 they let Rily spend the night many times at the Horizon. What kind of parent dose that if the person in the home is so druged up. They have done their best to trash Anna to take any heat coming their way. She is dead how easy was that for them.
December 8th, 2007 at 11:05 pm
It makes one wonder why these 2 men went crazy after Daniel died. Fled the country; refused to speak to investigators; began eviction proceedings; media interviews to discredit both ANS/HKS; offered 1/2 million dollars to Big Moe to break into Horizons. Then after ANS passed are breaking in Horizons, distributing stolen property to the media, more media interviews with edited videos to put focus on HKS.
My focus has been on these 2 since the beginning!!!

THANK GOD for this!!
December 8th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Art Harris, you take the cake! You will one day find out that you have been a ‘patsy’ for a murderer!
If there is any type of film shown in the Bahamas with Anna in it before the Inquest results are in, then your little Howard and yourself (for peddling this garbage) are even worse than I thought!
Cult film? I think not. Just another stupid Anna deal showing how stupid she really was. Actress? NOT!

Very interesting.
I have never trusted the SC crew. Seems things keep creaping up on them. I wonder what’s next to be uncovered….I’ll be waiting.
This is all just so complicated. So tragic. I wish it would all end soon and Howard’s name be cleared. As well as Dr. Khris. This whole saga has turned the lives of some good people upsidedown. I can’t wait until its over and Anna & Daniel can rest in peace. Let Dannielynn grow up knowing the truth behind the tragic passing of her mother and brother.
December 9th, 2007 at 12:14 am
What a prick - filming a guest’s personal property!
December 9th, 2007 at 12:19 am
IMO that whole bunch are thieves.Shelly lies just like Clard did one day one thing and on another show just the opposite.I still cannot believe they were allowed to go on national television with stolden property and the so called talking heads knew it was stolen.Seems like Lin Wood is on top of things.Art good timing .
December 9th, 2007 at 12:58 am
You made my day! I am ecstatic to learn of the California Bureau of Narcotics probe.
What better sight than Virgie, O’Quinn, et al, sailing on a ship that is taking on water!
Let’s hope that eventually those whose lives were destroyed by the “findings” of Mr. FBI and company will thank Howard for exposing some cruel crooks.
December 9th, 2007 at 1:01 am
My answer to all of your poll questions is a definite NO!
With friends like these…who needs enemies.
I am so thankful that the authorities in the various states are having these discussions and are fully aware of all the devious plots that lead back to one group with a common interest.
Perhaps Howard’s trip to Texas involved other discussions with the FBI besides the tapes of Anna’s surgery?
December 9th, 2007 at 1:39 am
It angers me that FS/GBT did this to ANS right after her son passed.
He says in the video while he is trying to evict her that Ben said she could pay whenever… Why was he there bothering her then?
December 9th, 2007 at 2:10 am
My answer to all your questions Art is a resounding NO. Ford Shelley is the lowest of all scum. You can tell it by just looking at his ugly face. I think he’s also a wimp,lol. Ford Shelley would sell his own mother. That’s what I think of Shelley.
Shelley says the drugs could have been cough medicine for all he knew, lol. Yeah. Right, LMAO.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:16 am
The California narcs are finally becoming aware of the agenda of these greedy people? What in the devil took them so long. We all knew from the beginning. Geeesh!
December 9th, 2007 at 4:26 am
Did Anna consider FS a friend when she died? Should investigators trust him? Do YOU believe him? Do you think Ford and father in law, G. Ben Thompson, will actually show up for the inquest they have been so vocal about?
My answer to all these questions is NO, NO, NO and NO!!!
If not in this life then at the end of Ford Shelly’s life he will have to answer for the sins he has committed. I
would hate to be Ford Shelly but more than anything I want to see him pay in this life. I want to see him suffer for what he did to Anna and Howard.
December 9th, 2007 at 5:20 am
Thank you very-very- very much Mr Harris,love that you are doing flashbacks.Ford Shelly,has always seem to me as a person of interest,as far as pertaining to Danniel.That what ever you want to call him,looks like a get even type of person,He sure was not Anna,s friend.I would like to know,how they smuggled drugs,? was (horizons) used,? and was Anna going to be a patsy,or coverup for shelly,without her knowledge.?I also think Don Clark should be investigated by Jerry Brown ,and Mr MULLER,HEAD OF THE FBI, I am sure he has a pension.HE has misused his former title for his own gain, WHEN YOU STOP AND THINK,HOW MANY OF VIRGIE,S FRIENDS HAVE MISUSED THERE TITLE,ALONG WITH VIRGIE, IT MAKES YOU SICK.I ADMIRE LIN WOOD,HE RESTORES MY FAITH IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
December 9th, 2007 at 7:52 am
When this guy started showing up on TV it made my stomach turn. He told different stories within the same interviews. Now I am glad he talked, talked, talked just talked to much, it can all be used against him.
I never believed a word he said
December 9th, 2007 at 7:53 am
except when he told Judge Seinland Howard loved Anna, that was the only time I believed him and when he said it was his idea to move to the Bahamas so Anna could get away from the media.
December 9th, 2007 at 7:54 am
or did he say it was to get away from Larry not sure but I believe it was his idea.
December 9th, 2007 at 9:17 am
So…she didnt know when she was hanging with buttface Ben…that the old goat was a jailbird…I think those SC losers latched onto her to milk her fame and DID give her the house to live in knowing when it came time to sell they could jack up the price and make a killing.
So why did that greaseball Ford harrass Anna right after Daniel died? To coerce her when she was at her weakest?~ I really wish Anna had kicked Shelley in the balls and that was captured on tape. ~Now THAT would be worth watching over and over. It appears that at some point, Howard was well aware of the seedy past of GBT, and in an efffort to pre-emptively discredit him, the SC crew staged the frig,edited the clown tape and did whatever they could to paint him in a bad light. Wouldn’t want Howard to tell the world about the drug smuggling and threats to kill a partner in a real estate deal ,right? Gotta make sure his name is mud and no one believes him.
They gave up the fight for HORIZONS because they have BIGGER things to hide. Where did Ford shithead get 950,000?and did ugly Gina have a problem with him supposedly buying a house for another woman,and a beautiful one at that?
Art,please find out!!
December 9th, 2007 at 9:19 am
Art all I can say is you are just spinning things the way you want them… Why is Lin Wood so scared of the truth…Because he is wanting it Howard’s way or no way… And do you not understand Howard is nothing to Anna by Law, but a bad lawyer and terrible boyfriend..
December 9th, 2007 at 10:00 am
EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH ANNA APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN USING HER … AND THERE IS PLENTY OF TESTIMONY REVEALING THAT HOWARD WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST “USERS” WHICH MAKES ME WONDER WHY YOU CONTINUE TO IGNORE HIS INVOLVEMENT IN ANNA’S DOWNFALL. YOUR COVERAGE OF THIS STORY IS FAR FROM BALANCED WHICH IS WHAT A JOURNALIST SHOULD BE. WHY?
December 9th, 2007 at 10:21 am

December 9th, 2007 at 10:58 am
What I do not understand is how the stolen video can be shown on National TV without any legal repercussions. The news stations were knowingly broadcasting a stolen video and never took any precations to insure if it even was the entire tape. I fell the networks and the broadcasters should be held responsible or censured for ther acts, as well. Those men from South Carolina deserve to be held responsbile for their actions and not only in the Bahamas. Death makes people crawl out of the woodwork and these two were no exception. Anna’s judgement of people was poor with the exception of Howard. May they all get what they deserve. I do wish the DNA proved Howard to be the father, at least Dannielynn would have half a chance and would not be on TV and magazines, etc. She would have had a better chance for a normal life. I will say on Howard’s behalf, he has not sought publicity. Since Anna’s burial, he has not been publically visual and has tried as hard as he can to be a private citizen. Previously, he appearances were always with Anna with the exception of Larry King when he annouced his relationship with Anna…..Anna was off camera. All these people are of the lowest kind and I dread when Dannielynn becomes an adult. Poor child
December 9th, 2007 at 11:06 am
That fool could tell me the sun was shinning and the beaches were beautiful on a bright sunny Bahama day and I still wouldnt believe a word coming out of that whole in his face.
I like Im sure others want to know why Moe called and asked that Danilynne be taken out of the Horizons house.
December 9th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Art thanks so very much for refreshing many folks minds prior to this weeks start up of the continuing inquest.
With this latest news is has shut up many of the nasties that have been posting on the various message board.
Hugs to you and your staff for all the news you provide.
Herry Christmas.
December 9th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
Way to go Art!!!! You amaze me with all the good stuff you dig up. I hope all these finds of yours is getting to the Bahamas, not only to Mr. Bains but to Wayne Munroe, Howard’s attorney. I was VERY happy to see you contacting
Jerry Brown. He really didn’t know what hit him at first but he does now. If the “Texas Mob” boo Howard at the film festival they will really be showing their ignorance…not that they haven’t already. Keep up the fantastic work Art.
December 9th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
PS This article also shows ANNA WOULD NEVER GIVE FORD SHELLY A RIGHT TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THE HOUSE ON HER BEHALF.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
MY(*)ANSWERS TO MR. HARRIS’ QUESTIONS:
1} Do you buy it? [Buy the statement that Anna asked him to take her personal belongings for safe keeping?]
* NO! THIS IS A KNOWN LIE! HE IS A LOW-LIFE THIEF!!
2} Did Anna consider FS a friend when she died?
* NO! THIS IS WHY SHE THREW FS OFF THE HORIZONS PROPERTY.
(LIKE LB SAID IN AN INTERVIEW; ONCE ANNA WAS DONE WITH YOU IN HER INNER CIRCLE…YOU ARE NO LONGER HER FRIEND.)
3} Should investigators trust him?
* NO! HE HAS CONTRADICTED HIMSELF MANY TIMES OVER ON LIVE TV INTERVIEWS. I DO NOT BELIEVE HE EVEN KNOWS THE TRUTH.
(AFTER SO MANY LIES)
4} Do YOU believe him?
* NO. HE HAS ALWAYS HAD “AGENDAS” FOR EVERY MOVE HE MADE.
5} Do you think Ford and father in law, G. Ben Thompson, will actually show up for the inquest they have been so vocal about?
* NO. THEY ARE BOTH WANTED BY THE BAHAMIAN POLICE FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT. I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE AFRAID IF THEY STEP FOOT IN THAT COUNTRY THEY WILL BE PUT IN JAIL.
(IN MY OPINION IS WHERE THEY BOTH BELONG)
note: FORD SHELLEY STOLE PERSONAL ITEMS FROM ANNA, HE TWISTED THE TRUTH, SOLD HER PROPERTY FOR MONEY! HE NEEDS TO BE CHARGED HERE IN THE U.S.; AS THIS IS WHERE HE PROFITED FROM HIS CRIMINAL ACTIONS!! FOX NEWS PAID MOST OF THAT MONEY TO HIM FOR HIS INTERVIEWS.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
DRF, seriously, stfu.
You obviously live in a fantasy world. How classy you are to insult and degrade a dead woman. We know Anna wasn’t a Saint, but whats stupid is you following this case about the dumb woman who has obviously infiltrated your every waking hour, why do you even care if she died, or her son, since you seem to think she’s such a waste, why are you worried about anything? Why don’t you go feed your 56 cats and get a new hobby? Annas having the last laugh ya know, looking down on hateful people who are following her life and death, when it all comes down to it, she was a good person, which ismore than you could ever be, instead of being glued to a computer 24 hours a day, Anna actually lived her life, unlike you, who is just hoping someone murdered her, seriously, get a life, you are pathetic.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Brenda, yes it’s Howard’s way or now way. THAT’S WHAT A GOOD ATTORNEY DOSE. And did you live with Anna to know if he was a bad boyfriend, please let us know. You people that say I HEARD THIS OR THAT dose not make it here. Take time out of your small life and read the court papers here and learn somthing then crap you hear from Virgie and her clan.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Great job again Art. I so remember researching these people way back and glad you are bringing them up again….These people are hiding alot and the truth needs to come out about them and who they are….I know you will be the man to do that……They need to pay for what they have done and the trouble they have caused ANNA, Howard,LARRY and DANNIELYNN….and many others.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
Hi Art
Ford can’t even keep his stories straight for 2 minutes’ He says Anna was on methadone at the time we transported her and was given strict instuctions on how to administrate them and then in the next breath he says ya but we didn’t know what the drugs were, they could of been cough medicine for all we knew. So which is it Ford?? you can’t keep your stories straight for even 1 interview and usually when people keep screwing up their stories usually means they are not true. If a story is true it is pretty easy to keep it straight.
These people were not Anna’s friends they were star struck by her and wanted to be in the lime light. Ford even says in the video about helping her get away from Larry and then he goes around blaming Howard for everything.
Those S.C. boys must think everyone fell off of the same turnip truck they did.
Time is runnning out for these dim witted people and the more they open their mouths the more we see exactly how dumb there are and who knows maybe alot more involved in some of the shadier sides of this case. If I were them I might start shaking in my boots soon as we are getting closer to the truth all the time

I will not be surprised at all if when Anna’s depo is played, she doesn’t name those two crooks, too. FS and GBT have done too many things for them to not be covering up something real big. The fact they were at the hospital until midnight has never set well with me,,who stays that late visiting a sick person,,,and WHY? Neither one of them will have the balls to go to inquest, and I would bet the Bahamians would Love for them to show up there.
I wonder if the US media will cover Anna’s movie festival??? Sure would be nice if they did.

I don’t think it would be very wise for the Team Stupid to ‘boo’ in the Bahamas, I bet they know as well as we do how much disrespect they have shown Anna and all they want is money. They need to think twice about that one.

# 16 butterfly
I think FS went there to say something a lot different than what came out of his mouth. I think those darn cameras made his say what he did. The dumb ass shot his own foot in that video,,,,why he let them have that video back is beyond me(and wasn’t he the one that aired it on Geraldo?) The idiot completely contradicted himself in the tape and fessed up to the house being paid”whenever she could pay it” what a dumbass.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
My opinion of the SC people has never waivered. The origional intent was twofold. Dannilynne and the deed to the property. They just expanded their crime to taking other personal possessions as a ransome to keep charges from being placed against them. The quick call to Mrs Gibson telling her to take the baby away from Horizons sort of messed up their origional intent.
Whether Larry was so determined to get his baby that he agreed to their plan is yet to be brought to light. As it turned out…kidnapping charges, more than likely, might not have been an issue?
December 9th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
# 23 maryst
I believe it was FS’s idea, it served his purpose,,,,,possibly Anna being their “coverup” , and being ‘the good friend’ was fill Larry in on all Anna was doing. FS was the one that told LB where she was when he and Virgie went to Daniel’s grave.
That, and the statement that “Howard loved Anna and Daniel” are the only two things out of his mouth I ever believed.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
# 10 DRF2000
I hate to burst your big Virgie balloon, but it sounds like the Bahamians are expecting the inquest to be over by then,,,,and that Howard is innocent as most of us already knew. I’m sure if they had thought there was anything coming out of the inquest, they would have the festival much later.
Why do you hate Anna so much???? I have read your posts at another place and the hate radiates from you. Anna was a beautiful woman who is lucky to have made it this long after the way she was raised. I bought the movie to show my respects for her, Daniel and Howard. Anna may not have been a great actress, but she had a great “personality” which made her a good “entertainer”. Hell, give the woman some credit and quit disrespecting the dead.
December 9th, 2007 at 5:20 pm
Right you are Patricia#27 It will show team stupids real color if in fact this happens.If they were smart they would not futher antagonize the Bahamian by disrupting their festible in any way.It will only hurt their cause4.
December 9th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
I think Daniel was sick - He lost thirty pounds and was in the Hospital twice for cardiac pain. He looke thin and frail. They loved this boy and it is a terrible tragedy. I do not think anyone gave him medication but took it himself. Rest In Peace Anna and Daniel. Howard is tending their graves daily - I hope he has some peace.
December 9th, 2007 at 6:48 pm
Art’s questions…..Do you buy it? Did Anna consider FS a friend when she died? Should investigators trust him? Do YOU believe him? Do you think Ford and father in law, G. Ben Thompson, will actually show up for the inquest they have been so vocal about?
No, I don’t believe a word of it.
No, she did not and made that clear.
No, he is a crook and a liar with a bad record. Maybe the police should get the drug dogs into their plane for a sniffy.
Not one bit. Their stories keep changing.
No, and if they do I hope they are arrest them breaking and entering Anna and Howard’s home and stealing their personal belongings after court order told them to stay away. To me that was like grave robbing what they did, and she wasn’t even buried yet.
And to add in my opinion….more should be done about the visit they had at the hospital. Why can’t they be arrested in their country/state for stealing? They have admitted to it on national television. Proof doesn’t get any better than that one. Why isn’t anyone investigating them about the drugs they gave Anna while staying there and they even kept some. What kind of friend does that?
December 9th, 2007 at 10:12 pm
FS&BT are snakes in the grass . i do believe that they were going to use anna to hide drugs that they were planning to fly to bahamas . that was as plain as could be , old habits never die ——but thats what GREED does . FS lookk like he stuck his finger in the light socket with that hair do of his LMAO,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA“““
December 9th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
I watched FS on Geraldo. FS said Horizons was brought by a company owned by himself and BT. Now the question I then wanted asked was: WHY WAS THE DEED OF THE HOUSE PUT IN ANNAS NAME? That’s not common business practise. Business men know that. These 2 guys are obviously shady characters who cannot be trusted. As for taking Annas possessions after her passing, me thinks they were trying to cover their tracks.

———————————————–
After Rita Cosby’s lively performance in the Bahamas and Don Clark’s near fatal spasms on TV, anyone who had any doubts cannot possibly still have doubts.
Therefore, those who still post about “the” “murderer” are without any doubt, on somebody’s payroll to keep the mud flowing in their sickeningly desperate attempt to sway some weak minds. The roaches and pigs sliding here from TMZ are wasting their time and talent. People such as yourselves, the two of you above, cannot expect to be respected and why should you? You are being paid to destroy a human being for the sake of your portion of that elusive pot of gold. I envision a tall coconut tree being furiously shaken by the big monkey and his harem.

I think I once posted something about ‘Anna’ never telling outright lies…
Looks like I was wrong, once again, LOL.
Well, I guess she learned from the best, didn’t she?
What can I say that won’t be misconstrued…
Let me think…
Something about nuts and bolts, maybe.
Now I’m starting to feel sorry for Shelly and his poor ol’ father-in-law, and let me not forget about Rita Cosby.
Howard and “that scum bucket Larry,” to quote Anna Nicole, must have been head-over-high heals. or crazy in love, or like foxes as ‘they’ say.
I forgive them all, LOL.
I bet they’re all sorry, too.

Dear Art,
Did you ever write about Pink Floyd?
They were better than Deep Purple.
When I remember Anna, I’ll think about “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” and albums like Dark Side Of The Moon and Pulse.
You are only as young as you feel.
And when I think of your blog here, and this time of year, I think of Carol Of The Bells.
It’s getting close…to Christmas and a brand new year!!!
Love Always,
Freida

That tape Art is so disturbing it shows how money hungrey this Ford Stupid is. It shows how he harrassed her in that moment, she does not waste words either by pointing out how Larry was trying to take away her baby, and how he Ford panders her by saying that is the reason they let her move into that house so she would not have to deal with Larry. But at what price???
She closes him out and so if anyone who is anyone that is reading this connected to the case, yall might want to think about this point..
what made those boys change their minds and why would they break into her home to take those belongings the only reason is pure unadultrated cash, and how much those belongings would sell on ebay..auction anyone???
Poor Anna everyone was always chasing her, everyone like she said always wanted something from her..cept Howard .she was right. I guess when tons of money follows you your reputation precedes you or something like that…
December 10th, 2007 at 4:16 am
Beverly……… I agree that the tape is pretty good evidence that ANNA NEVER ASKED SHELLY TO TAKE ANYTHING! I don’t think that anyone with one lick of sense believed it for a moment. How could he think that anyone could believe Anna would do that since she trusted only Howard. What a mess - my head spins trying to figure out who I despise most in this mess but for sure Shelly is right at the top of the list.

Art all I can say is you are just spinning things the way you want them… Why is Lin Wood so scared of the truth…Because he is wanting it Howard’s way or no way… And do you not understand Howard is nothing to Anna by Law,”
Wrong, my dear. I doubt Lin Wood is scared of anything.If he was he wouldn’t have taken Howards case on continguency. And Howard was PLENTY to Anna, her LEGAL representation,her LEGAL Executor, her LEGAL Guardian to her CHILDREN, her LEGAL Trustee her LEGAL agent who negotiated her contracts and her commom LAW husband, she married in front of a Minister and friends. Anna’s will was validated and upheld in a CA probate court as LEGAL.
So where is your beef? The person who was NOTHING to Anna, was Vergie…nothing but an egg donor.Cut OUT of her life,cut OUT of Daniel’s life,cut OUT of her will, and because of her behaviour, cut OUT, of Danielynn’s life.
December 10th, 2007 at 9:33 am
I’m feeling better about the outcome everyday. Everybody is going to find out about those damn crooks in Virgie’s team. The rumor is out and spreading like wildfire. I still say Howard is da man. He loved Anna, she loved him and that’s going to see him through. Some might ask, what’s love got to do with it, well, it has a lot to do with this case. Just wait and see,it will all turn out in Howard’s favor. Then we’re going to the Bahamas and have our partayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Interesting thing I heard on the tape - Anna says something about Ford signing an affidavit (relating to the house being given to her) - Ford says “I didn’t sign any affidavit”
I just wonder if that is one of the things Ford retrieved when he broke into the house?
Wonder what it was and what it said?
This crook has been getting away with far to much! When is Howard and Lin Wood going to reign him in?
Once again, thanks Art! I look every day to your site to see what is the latest news. I know you print the truth!
December 10th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
My answer to your questions Art is, NOOO, and HELL NOOO!
December 11th, 2007 at 2:46 am
I have a question.
Why did Anna, if she loved Howard so much, succeed in having Larry’s baby, and try to convince GBT he was a daddy and to sign a birth certificate?
Did that really happen?
Maybe Howard loved her, though!
December 11th, 2007 at 9:41 am
WOW This is funny now Howard is her common law Husband, And you might want to wait on the the will being excepted because that is not a done deal..And by law her next of Kin is her mother sorry, you don’t like that but she is, by U.S law that is why Howard wants the will probated in the Bahama’s. And one more thing, I am not a paid blogger just a person who does read all the court papers… And by the way you all might want to wait and see what is going on with all the drugs being sent all over the united states and the bahamas in Howards name in Anna And Daniel bodies before you all pass judgement, On who is lying and who is dying
December 12th, 2007 at 6:05 am
Lin Wood scared of the truth? HAHAHA! That’s a good one!
Let’s say worst case scenario with the clown tape. Anna was on Methadone…okay? Even though it won’t make someone ‘high’, it can make them loopy as shit. It is totally safe during pregnancy and IF she was on it,(which i doubt since DL is not known to have detoxed in the NICU…FROM ANYTHING)then she did a damn good thing she should be proud of by taking the steps to get off unsafe drugs.
That whole SC crew is a mess. They’re criminals and should be in jail for theft, end of story. How disgusting is it to take a dead woman’s belongings and peddle them off?
The sad thing is, when all is said and done, this all gets thrown away. Howard will still look bad. To the thousands of people who saw these people call him a liar, murderer, etc., never to see the cases through. Their minds are set.
And Brenda, I agree, let’s all wait and see about ‘all the drugs in Howard’s name’. Almost ALL stars do that. Esp. one with a drug history. Common sense. But we’ll see, right?
December 12th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Brenda,
Dannielynn is Anna’s next of kin.
December 12th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
I agree that both Shelley and Thompson are despicable characters and really are not to be believed under any circumstances. The only reason that Geraldo seemed to be receptive is because he’s got an obvious anti-howard agenda. Putting Anna’s name on the title was a move that showed a pretty clear motive, and as far as taking items from the home after her passing…unconscionable.

WOW This is funny now Howard is her common law Husband,
————————————
Do you know the meaning of “common-law husband?”
According to Black’s Law Dictionary — Common-law marriage is one not solemnized in the ordinary way (i.e. non-ceremonial) but created by an agreement to marry, followed by cohabitation. Such marriage requires a positive mutual agreement, permanent and exclusive of all others, to enter into a marriage relationship, cohabitation sufficient to warrant a fulfillment of necessary relationship of man and wife, and an assumption of marital duties and obligations.
Now that you know the meaning, is it still funny? How can one simple (s-i-m-p-l-e) woman (Virgie) generate so much hatred and brainwash so many? I guess if Hitler could do it, so can she.
December 12th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Brenda if you read about the inquest you already know what happened so what is your beef.We also read all the court papers.You may want to reread what you wrote ANS mother has no standing if she contests the will she is automaticly thrown out according to the wills wording and how ANS tried to protect her estate from her family.
December 21st, 2007 at 4:39 pm
I never doubted shelly Ford . He seemed like a sincere and honest man . Why suddenly is the media trashing him. We all know Anna n ’s reputation. She was money hungry. Anna and Howard had no shame. I sympathize with the fords. I believe them. Why did Anna ask his father in law to legally claim her child? Why not Larry, MONEY.
If it is true that he lent her the money for the mansion and she somehow manuevered the ownership through Sterns expertise , it is sickening. why would Ford give her a mansion. ? for future nookies?

First…..Ford Shelley says it was HIS money that bought the Horizon Mansion in the Bahamas……then claims the house is G Ben Thompson’s house. Where did the money come from? Is it possible the house was bought with ILLEGAL money dealings.? It would be interesting to look into bank records and tax records
Was the house purchased with cash? Must be an interesting paper flow. IF it wasn’t Anna’s house…then why was it put into her name??? Both Thompson & Ford Shelley both claim to be business people…..& wealthy. How so Uncle Sam?
