My only interest in this story is solving the mystery. More people have died than in any of the detective stories I have read recently. Here's a summary:

Her multimillionaire husband E. Pierce Marshall II, died in 1995 at age 90, leaving a fortune to her of more than $400 million

Marshall's stepson who disputed (dispute still unresolved) Anna Nicole Smith's claim to her husband's fortune died last June 20 at age 67

Anna Nicole Smith's son David by her first husband Bill Smith, a cook at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken, died last September 20 at age 20 in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas while she was recovering from the birth of her daughter Danniellynn whose paternity is in dispute

Anna Nicole Smith dies February 8 at age 39 after collapsing in her hotel room at a Florida casino.

Too many bodies, and way too much money.

Whose behind all these deaths? Was it her lawyer/lover/possible father of Danniellynn whose unlikely name is Howard K. Stern? Was it the other lover/possible father of Danniellynn photographer with the unlikely name of Larry Birkhead? Was it a heir of Marshall's stepson, whose name has eluded me, who is still bound and determined to collection the $400 million? Or, was it Anna Nicole Smith's mother, a deputy sherriff, who may win ultimately the right to raise her granddaughter? Detective Columbo would love this mystery!

I challenge Mudcatters to solve this mystery before the media annouces its verdict!
