Bald Truth Readers: Prayers to Birkhead Family; ETonline Breaks Our Daniel “Depression” Scoop!
From ETonline:
“ET has learned exclusively that ANNA NICOLE SMITH’s late son, DANIEL, was hospitalized to treat symptoms of depression and back pain just two months before he flew to the Bahamas to visit his mother and newborn sister, DANNIELYNN, according to medical records introduced at the inquest.
According to investigative journalist ART HARRIS, www.etonline.com reports Bahamian prosecutors introduced medical records showing the 20-year-old entered the intensive care unit of a California hospital in July of 2006, when he was treated for an “impaired mental status” that cited “the misuse of Valium” as a factor.
WAYNE MUNROE, attorney for HOWARD K. STERN, said a physician had prescribed Daniel unspecified medication for back pain and his depression, as well as counseling.
After Daniel was found dead at Nassau’s Doctors Hospital on September 10, 2006, two autopsies showed a toxic mix of methadone and the anti-depressants Lexapro and Zoloft, but the Bahamas police forensics chief testified Tuesday that the high level of methadone was enough to have killed Daniel and that he could have had it in his system when he landed the night before.
The magistrate announced the inquest would not resume until January 28 because of scheduling conflicts between lawyers and witnesses.

Good going and keep it coming!

I quess this puts VIRGIE,S STATEMENT(DANNIEL did not do drugs,and he did not overdose himself) in a different light,when VIRGIE,begans to realize,she lost her daughter and grandson,and now dannielynn,high price to pay for any amount of money,and the SAD PART SHE WILL NOT GET THAT.MY wish is that someone right now,makes sure VIRGIE OR HER FAMILY,cannot EVER, go after dannielynn or her trust or estate,HOWARD PLEASE.
December 13th, 2007 at 6:16 am
uuuhhooohh!!!
December 13th, 2007 at 6:24 am
The only things new in this “scoop” are the mention of misuse of Valium and being in intensive care. The depression hospitalization story has been out there for a long time, one story being found on September 20, 2006 in the New York Post.
I really don’t get the point…valium is a far cry from methadone. His taking valium makes far more sense as he was dealing with depression, and, I would think, is far easier to come by. By the way, did they say where he got the valium?
December 13th, 2007 at 9:05 am
ET…I can at least half way trust not to hurt all those curious children out there watching Television.
Spinning in the right direction…not a perfect aim…but, then who is?
December 13th, 2007 at 9:22 am
I also would like to extend my condolences to the Birkhead family. My prayers for peace and strenght are with them.
December 13th, 2007 at 9:59 am
This world wide web is enough to depress anyone…
Who owns the web?
Well at least Gates seems to be a real do-gooder guy…
Yet, Henceforth, that brings on the sharks, scorpions, and black widow spiders.
Everyone trying to make easy money, and it’s not really the money, it’s what ‘it’ buys…that easy lifestyle…where you don’t need to apply yourself…your brain or or your body, LOL.
Does anyone ever watch those people that pick up their garbage every week?
Watch how hard…they really work…most of us don’t.
Oh, and by the way, most of those ‘garbage collectors’ as they’re called are Americans, legal citizens…they get benefits that they won’t live to see because all their hard work over time kills them before they get to collect.
And what about those field workers, growing crops so we can eat…
And to justify this we say, they can get a better education…
A better education to learn how to ‘use’ them, those that work and toil and suffer for a living…
Well that’s really what it boils down to.

‘BINGO!â€
December 13th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Hey Art has anyone interveiwed the Airline Daniel flew to the Bahamas on? Did anyone on the plane talk to him or see him taking any medications? Just a thought
December 13th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
So many are quick to point at Howard as if he had something to do with Daniel’s death, as if there were foul play involved. If there was any foul play it was on the part of the quack doctors that prescribed theses SERIOUS medications to Daniel. It is hard for me to believe that a young man such as Daniel needed all of those drugs to treat legitimate ailments, or that any doctor could ethically prescribe them. I really hope that the tragic way he and his mother died does something to raise prescription drug abuse awareness in the medical community so that perhaps an appropriate level of discretion is taken in the future.
December 13th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
Way to go, Art and Bain! And thanks to ET for helping get the story out. The rest of the media are not mentioning anything about the inquest. They need to be helping to clean up the mess they made reporting that started all of this mess. I wonder why they are not interviewing any of their buddies like FS,Jackie or the crazy old p.i. Jack,,,curious to see what they would say now.
December 13th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
Will anyone check out where Daniel got the Methadone?
December 13th, 2007 at 6:06 pm
I would think by now anyone with common sense can figure out that what happened to Daniel had little to do with what happened in the Bahamas. Maybe it is time for all these people that want the truth to actually quit accusing Howard and open their minds to the possibility that he in fact had taken drugs before the plane ever left CA. That is IF they seek the truth.
December 13th, 2007 at 10:12 pm
We all have our demons, drugs were Anna’s and Daniel’s no one is perfect least of all me..
Back problems can be genetic; disc related whatever it is the worst pain if you have this aliment.
You need your back to stand; you need your back to support your whole body without it you crumble.
Anna had similar symptoms due to the breast enlargement operations, and maybe even before because she was so tall.
People take pain medications every single day, some people, including professionals like drs, lawyers,nurses everyday normal people make it a habit a secret dirty little habit.
Some people are so impatient, to make sure it works they take an extra pill or pills, not realizing it takes a body from 20-40 minutes to digest it, and for the blood stream to carry it through the body till it reaches its destination, the brain.
Than the calm comes in, kinda like waves washing over you.
However when you are in pain, your patience level is diminished, your logic fades, and your only momentum at that exact moment is to relieve the pain.
Make it go away; please make it stop, physical or emotional.
I know I have been there, I speak from experience. I have visited many pain clinics, due to a medical misdiagnosis.
If you are a pill junkie well, that in between medication time seems forever. That whatever feeling that you get from this medication is so worth the risk.
Daniel was in emotional and physical pain, his last few months on earth.
Daniel was very much alone, too many changes to count, he might of had friends, but he was alone.
His very best friend, and only family member that was his mom had to leave the US and him alone all by himself,to the Bahamas, because of Larry Birkhead chasing her away, and threatening her with taking away the baby.
Daniel was alone with his new best friends, the pills that took him away to another place; it made him feel good, part of something that he really never had, before.
Depression is a terrible disease it eats at you and never lets you go, it rules your world.
It is a chemical imbalance, the only thing that can let you live a semi normal life is anti depressants nothing else.
He must have had clinical depression, the doctors in the hospital recommended therapy it was diagnosed by a doctor. He was not a rocket scientist; he was just a young man who watched his mother take those pills time, after time, after time, with no real consequences.
Virgie even remembers taking Anna to the Betty Ford clinic however that did not work at all.
Even Dr Christine said that Anna over took medication look what happened in the end.
The behavior and drug history all are there.
Anna was Daniel’s role model, his first mentor in how to take those pills.
What else, can yall expect watching something like that your whole life?
December 13th, 2007 at 11:08 pm
Wow the intensive care unit. Poor Daniel. Maybe he did committ suicide but wanted to be safely in his mothers arms at the time ?
My heart goes out to Larry and Dannielynn. Why are so many people dying? Has virgie blamed HKS yet?
Life sucks at the moment.
December 14th, 2007 at 2:18 am
My heartfelt Condolences go out to Larry,Dannielynn and his family.
December 14th, 2007 at 9:02 am
I think this is a suicide as well,especially with the high amounts of antidepressants.All Daniel had to do was go on the internet and see how dangerous it was to mix in the methodone. Daniel may have wanted to be safe with his mother and was hiding his pain behind smiles and fake excitement. anyone can smile for the cameras, but Daniel was drugged out and looked like he just keep taking more and more.didnt his doctor tell him not to mix meds with his zoloft and lexapro?I am wondoring if Ray Martino knew Daniel had a problem with Valium, if Daniel had told him. Was Daniel stealing meds from Ray? Did he go into his mothers purse.
I just read the Mitchell report from MLB and it is so easy to get any drug you want from the internet.
December 14th, 2007 at 9:15 am
Hey look who Rogers attorney is? now where have I seen that name before??
“HOUSTON — Roger Clemens vehemently denies allegations in the Mitchell report that he used performance-enhancing steroids, and is outraged that his name is included in the report based on the uncorroborated allegations of a troubled man threatened with federal criminal prosecution.
“Roger has been repeatedly tested for these substances and he has never tested positive. There has never been one shred of tangible evidence that he ever used these substances and yet he is being slandered today,” said Clemens attorney Rusty Hardin. “”

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=2475616&page=1
Isn’t it also possible Daniel purchased the methadone on the street? The article states “…..and sold on the street for as little as 25 cents a pill” and “pain pills are the new ‘pocket gold’ on the street, so valuable to drug dealers that the neighborhood prescription counter has become the target of routine holdups”.
“The coroner estimated that if Smith took a 5 milligram or 10 milligram methadone pill every eight hours, he would have had to consume more than 20 to account for the significant level of methadone in his blood stream and stomach.” The danger with methadone is that it remains in the body for a long time. (In my interpretation of that info) The coroner was pointing out that for Daniel to have that level in his blood he had to have taken methadone in the days prior to arriving in the Bahamas. Doing the math, 20 pills at one every eight hours would equal roughly about 6 and a half days. Daniel had only been in the Bahamas 10 hours. “It’s quite possible that he could have come here with a cumulative build-up of methadone in his body? Theoretically, he could have come here with toxic levels in his body?” asked the coroner. Quite “possible” answered McCartney, the forensic scientist.
http://www.jonesbahamas.com/?c=45&a=15139
It is known from the security cameras that Howard went out alone once. Daniel stayed behind with his mother. He returned and they were all together in the room. It is nonsensical to think that Howard beat Daniel up or held him down (to account for the bruises ) and forcefed him the 20 pills in front of Anna Nicole after 6:30 am when he was last seen helping his mom.
One more thing, the methadone in the cup theory doesn’t make sense either. The witness list shows that the cups, cans, food items were all gathered as evidence. If traces of methadone, an illegal drug in the Bahamas, had been found in those items someone would have been arrested.
December 14th, 2007 at 3:36 pm
During my searches on the Internet of articles on Anna Nicole, I have found articles from around the world, (India, Austria, just to name a few) on this sad matter.
Virgie’s relentless pursuit to destroy Howard, manned by a well-oiled vehicle driven by O’Quinn, is proof that Virgie deserves no mercy. Those who think Virgie is a victim, for whatever reason embedded in your minds, keep that thought to yourselves, for anyone with any sense know that you are either missing your marbles or you are on Texas payroll.
It is fair to show both sides, but there comes a time when one has to decide whether or not it is to one’s benefit to continue a ridiculous charade.
December 14th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
# 8 frieda, What in the hell are you trying to say???? It would take an interpreter to figure out what you are saying!!!
December 14th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
# 14 Grammy, I agree, it’s pretty obvious he had been fooling around with drugs before he got to the Baha,,,,why on earth they are continuing with this is beyond me. I just hope Daniel ’s death and dirty laundry is not out there for the world to see,,,,like they did with Anna. Enough is enough.
December 14th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
Anyone remember that psychic on tv after Anna’s passing? She said there would be a third death…. very interesting and very sad. Too bad it was Larry’s father.
My heart goes out to the Birkhead family. Good Bless poor little Dannielynn. She’s such an angel. I pray that she grows a strong, smart, beautiful woman.
December 15th, 2007 at 1:03 am
Too, bad Daniel didn’t have better ‘babysitters’ when he was growing up…
He never got the attention, or the credit that he deserved.
What really causes depression is loneliness…
I think, anyway.
December 15th, 2007 at 3:11 am
Depression is a ’scoop.’
December 15th, 2007 at 4:32 am
I think Art knows that all this is not totally new, but what’s new is that now there are more specific details, along with Daniel’s verified medical records that were unattainable/unreleased prior to this inquest.
It’s not far fetched to surmise that Daniel may have dipped into his mom’s methadone prescription; until he died, most people probably didn’t know how dangerous the drug cpuld be - I’d never even heard of Methadone until it was mentioned by the pathologist (Cyril, can’t spell his last without a search) hired by Anna and Howard.
Maybe it’s nothing, but I’m curious as to why “… a physician”, no mention of the doctor’s name from the CA hospital. Also, why “… had prescribed Daniel unspecified medication for back pain…”. Is it possible that the back pain medication is in fact Methadone? If it is, it still does NOT necessarily mean that the doctor was incompetent (unless it’s known that the one or two type of depression medication doesn’t mix with methadone); Daniel could have taken it more than as directed. I’m just wondering if the CA hospital is scared to mention the name of THE doctor and the SPECIFIC back medication…. But then, if methadone was prescribe to him, one would think that the vial with his name would have been on his carry-on luggage… So, I don’t know. Just thinking.
December 15th, 2007 at 4:42 am
Depression is not a chemical imbalance or a disease…
Although, the Government would want you to believe this, it’s all a bunch of bunk.
And so are those ‘…isms.’
‘They’ would like us to believe that we need, and must pay, for a better education.
This is a commercial for better understanding.
All rights reserved, LOL.
December 15th, 2007 at 6:36 am
Take away my color please, you might as well give me away.
December 15th, 2007 at 7:10 am
Well it will be interesting to see where VIRGIE GOES FROM HERE/She was counting on the inquest, to get Rita OQ,and Don Clark off the hook.Howard was on ET SAYING THE PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE VIDIO,after seeing Anna,s picture.virgie on longer can blame HOWARD FOR DRUGGING DANNIEL,AND THE HEAD NURSE WHO LIED ABOUT HOWARD COMMING AND GOING WAS A NO SHOW(SHE KNEW SHE LIED,AND DID NOT WANT TO DO IT UNDER OATH.)SO,OQ and his firm payed over a million dollars,helping grandma,while grandma enjoyed the ride,AND OQ,RITA DON CLARK WILL PAY A LOT MORE.ALSO,THEY HAVE NOT YET PLAYED ANNA,S STATEMENT.VIRGIE,OR DANNIEL,S FATHER,OR ANYONE COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED TO THE HOSPITAL IF DANNIEL WANTED.You know I heard geraldo,on a tape going after howard ,THAT DISGRACE OF A SO CALL MAN WAS MARRIED FIVE TIMES,HE WAS A CHEATER,HE HAS A BUMP ON HIMSELF do not judge others geraldo,you do not win man of the year,
December 15th, 2007 at 8:06 am
I wish somebody like Denzel Washington would run for president…or, at least the persona of someone great.
Of course, Denzel played the bad man parts…the strong man parts…and he’s just an actor.

December 15th, 2007 at 10:07 am
Who’s the least loved…my guess…those that leave here, and go to the here-and-after or never-more the soonest, I think.
The lesser sum, of all evils, the little ones.
Little kids…the victims of war…and ghettos.
Depression is a state of mind…and one’s pre-occupation with isolation…
Depression is not a disease, like those that would want us to believe…and buy their drugs.
Depression comes and goes like a tide and it’s a fact of life…and should not be treated like some kind of a disorder…
So the mighty rich can be and get richer and make us believe…in the supernatural…new and improved uptake inhibitor….
What mighty drug might take away all our feeling?
And, just make us happy all the time.
Oh, there are some that will temporarily take away some of the remorse…
And, Iran has a bunch of poppies, and Mexico has a bunch of marijuana…and of course America has a bunch of mushrooms…grown on stool, and guess China does, too.
Let’s get really real.
But, we can’t because some limit our knowledge and just want to make a whole bunch of money, I guess.
Sure hope that out government is looking out for us, yet, I doubt it…I think they’re just getting rich posturing themselves.
America looks like a foolish maiden….
Once upon a time she was a strong mother, but these days she just looks like a whore.
Sorry, to be so blunt.

Different coverage of the Daniel’s inquest is on Dennis Dames Bahamas Blog. http://www.zepher.tigblog.org/archive/12-2007
Drug Overdose Theory
(Excerpt)
“It’s quite possible that he could have come here with a cumulative build-up of methadone in his body? Theoretically, he could have come here with toxic levels in his body?” Coroner William Campbell asked Mr. McCartney before reading an advisory from the Federal Drug Administration [FDA] about the drugs’ harmful side effects.
Mr. McCartney admitted it was quite “possible.”
He pointed out that in addition to the .790 milligrams of methadone found in Smith’s bloodstream there were also 22 milligrams found in his stomach that suggested it would have been recently consumed prior to death.
The coroner estimated that if Smith took a 5 milligram or 10 milligram methadone pill every eight hours, he would have had to consume more than 20 to account for the significant level of methadone in his blood stream and stomach.
Poor Baby. Beyond sad.
December 16th, 2007 at 9:54 pm
I do not know what is wrong with Fox network that they allow geraldo to carry on such lies, half truths,tonight his brother said FORD SHELLY was going TO BE AT THEinquest,MY OPINION is maybe the BAHAMAS COURT WANTED TO SEE IF FORD SHELLY COULD FIND HIS PASSPORT,OR WILL THERE BE ANOTHER EXCUSE,OF COURSE GERALDO DID NOT BRING THAT UP.IT APPEARS RIVERA HAS A VENDETTA,AND HE IS NOT MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT WHEN HE IS WRONG, I BELIEVE FORD SHELLY AND GBT,SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
hi art. hope u are doing fine. i just saw something on rosespeak site that on geraldo tonight. ford shelley and g. ben thompson are going to testify in the inquest. why? they have proven to be liars and thiefs. they are still saying they own the horizons house, so why dropped the lawsuit against ownership? can they be arrested for stealing anna’s stuff and for contemp of court?
December 16th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
…throw me a life raft or a vest…
Dear Art,
I went ‘overboard’ again, LOL.
Please erase me, if not, then at least give me a new ‘delete comment’ button, so I can erase myself.
I’m embarrassed.
Why do I do this to myself?
Where’s Dr. Kris?
Oh well, I’m sure I couldn’t afford her rates anyway!
December 17th, 2007 at 6:48 am
Dear Art,
I want to know the truth, the Honest to God’s Truth.
Please tell us.
I have faith in a few good men, like you.
Not many, or not as many, come here anymore…however, a bunch of women do…or at least a handful.
I’m sure glad I’m not you, I’m glad I’m not bald, or a man.
Yet, at this point in my life none of that nonsense matters.

The article dated today, the 17th on Rosespeaks about Anna, in clear detail, makes me want to squash Virgie just as one would a cockroach.
December 17th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
Hey Art one more thing, perhaps it is a very good thing that Anna is not here anymore to view these court proceedings on her beloved son’s death.
If she were still alive I bet that Howard and Christine, and Big Moe, would have had to put her on a 24 hour watch, each day after court.
Just seeing Howards pain in his face was too much to bear each day. Howard you are doing a great job keep it up just a few more hurdles to go.
It would be a most difficult time to relive it all again, and have to face yourself as well. It being Christmas, or any holiday or even a birthday, a constant reminder of the loss of a child very difficult to even imagine.
Sometimes things do happen for a reason, Anna was a very sensitive human being, and this would of definitly done her in, she was very close to Daniel, she would of blamed herself in the end.
In fact just seeing Virgie, each day in court could of caused a psycotic episode.
December 18th, 2007 at 1:53 am
I think it’s imperative that the medical treatment and what meds Daniel was being prescribed be brought out during the inquest. I know Dr. Kapoor can’t be compelled to attend which is unfortunate. Munroe has said that Daniel had been prescibed methadone. Hopefully there is documentation sypporting that even if Kapoor won’t testify.
December 18th, 2007 at 6:40 am
Has anyone noticed,Virgie claims she wants justice for Dannniel,HER GRANDSON,yet every picture of her comming and going ,in the Bahamas she has a smile on her face,like she is going to a book signing,THIS WAS A INQUEST INTO DANNIEL DEATH,AND SHE HAS A SMILE ON HER UGLY FACE.SOMEBODY NEEDS DR PHIL.Has she no feeling at all.?this is not a normal reaction to a loved one She was so mad comming from the last day of the inquest she walked on her own,but gave a grin smile to the camera,Then if you listen ,in the vidio,she asked Don Cark what happen,I BELIEVE THE BAHAMAS COURT,WANTS TO SEE IF FORD SHELLY AND GBT,WILL FIND ANOTHER EXCUSE,OR SHOW UP. MY OPINION THEY BETTER,OR WE SHOULD ALL WRITE IN TO FOX,AND HAVE GERALDO MAKE A STATEMENT AS TO WHY NOT,I AM SICK OF HIS HALF TRUTHS.
December 18th, 2007 at 8:17 am
Skinhorse, while I agree that medication for depression is way over prescribed, you’re wrong. Not all depression is normal and comes and goes with the tide. Until you have sat in a room, for weeks, not able to move to even take care of your own baby…your mind fighting the strongest of all instincts, can you understand how wrong you are. Depression is a medical FACT, not just a way for Pharmaceutical Comps. to make money. I hate them, with all I’m worth. Because they KNOWINGLY said it was okay for me to take their pills while I was pregnant. My two year old baby (and many more) has to have his LUNG removed because of tumors. Are they evil, money grubbing pigs? Yes. But their products SOMETIMES save lives. By the way, take it from someone who knows, anti-depression meds have never made me ‘have no feeling’ or ‘happy all the time’. Oh how I wish.
December 18th, 2007 at 8:35 am
Missy#15 and Margie I so agree with you about things that happened. The question now is what will VA do now that it has been shown that Daniel did use drugs when she said he didn’t.?How would she have known? Why wasn’t this question asked long ago.She had no contact,so how would she have known anything about Daniel except for what she read.IMO ANS and HKS wanted to try and keep Daniels drug use out of the public Eye.Why destroy a person after they have passed.Vergie is a good one to be asked that question.

December 18th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
I knew Howard was innocent from day one.He really got a raw deal.I hope some of you give him some slack.All he is guilty of is loving Anna.he continues to lookout for her and dannilynn’s best intrest.everyone can knock his decisions but he was only following Anna’s wishes.As for those who think he’s in cahoots with Larry..come on.He’s got to find the peace so he can be in the little girls life.That little girl will never want for anything and will always be finacially secure.What does birkhead know about money?Everyone forgets howie was a successful attorney before he gave it all up for anna.He comes from a family that is comfortable.He already had a legal binding contract for representation on the marshall case.i think he gets a whopping 5%

Perhaps you are right, especially when it came to her son…but I also like to think, that if Anna was still here, she would deffenietly put Virgie in her place. And maybe we wouldn’t be seeing Virgie trample her butt all over the Bahama’s like she’s queen B. Altho Anna was a sensative person, I bet you, she would throw down in a heartbeat towards her mother.
Freida are you writing under a different name (Skinhorse)? you guy’s are writing the exact same way…NOT MAKING ANY SENSE.

Talk about depression,every one once in a while everyone gets depressed,it comes with being human.it is how you cope with it.right now,I am sitting in my living room,looking at everything around me,and thinking how hard I had to work to make my home beautiful,long hours,and a whole lot of work,then you die,and family and friends get everything.(I WANT TO TAKE IT WITH ME,)SO I CALLED A FRIEND AND WENT OUT FOR LUNCH.Danniel had NO friend that would steer him in the right direction.I do not know if that was danniel FIRST LOVE.WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS HURTS THE MOST,HE WAS HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BY GOING TO THE BAHAMAS,MORE THAN EVER HE NEEDED SUPPORT,MY OPINION,HE FELT REJECTED,AND NEEDED A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE,To bad he found it in pills.
December 19th, 2007 at 3:07 am
Depression is not an illness (in most cases), it’s a fact of life.
Doctors can prescribe, and drug companies can synthesize and mass produce/manufacturer their product (SINGULAR).
Actually the over-the-counter ones aren’t any safer, or those that need-a-prescription, or those that are brewed, or chewed or smoked…than those on the street or grown in this ‘Garden of Eden,’ we call Earth.
It’s the pesticides you need to think about, and the cleaning solutions you use in your home, and..
By the way, everyone here with a mouse…what do you do with your used up AA batteries?
December 19th, 2007 at 3:42 am
Dear Margie,
God bless you, and of course, sometimes medication can be useful and sometimes harmful.
What can I say, nothing will ease your pain and I know it.
God Bless you and yours, and especially your son.
Love Always,
Freida

Freida, be thankful that you think depression is a fact of life. It can be disabling, and fortunately for you, you are not familiar with its devastation.
As for your used mouse batteries, your local recycling center has a “battery eater”. You may even wish to call it a “cat.” In my area you can take light bulbs and anything else containing contaminants and leave it in their capable hands for safe disposal.

Jolie,
I too thought Skinhorse was Freida. They do write alike and even space their lines the same.

Thank you Isabel, you should post in the forum here, your opinions are valuable.
Freida, thank you as well. I think depression is a subject which we’ll have to ‘agree to disagree’ on.

I have read alot of peoples comments and are saying that daniel was on drugs before he got to the bahama’s, does any one remember the fact that daniel was so worried about his mom’s addiction that he went to a PI himself to have the howard anna thing checked out. was this PI put on the dtand in the inquest and waht inpact has or will that have on the outcome? I for one beleive Howard is guilty as sin of having something to do with anna and her sons death. I’m sure he will get out of it because they always do look at oj but i will always beleave he had something to do with them both of their deaths. And if that were my grandson and daughter, I would be wanting justice for them too. If your a mom and don’t feel that way about your children then I would say you don’t deserve to be anybodies mom.

Ginger:
If you are a firm believer that Howard is the culprit, no one can change your mind, but do pay attention to what each person has said in this ugly and sad saga.
That PI who claims to have had conversations with Daniel simply because his card was in Daniel’s possession was looking for his 15 minutes of fame and has been long gone, probably with his tail shamefully tucked in. That PI changed his story each time he went on TV. In my opinion, some retired people (PIs included) become so bored after retirement, they lapse into an incurable condition known as compulsive liars.
