Before she died, Anna Nicole Smith was investigated by the FBI because they believed that she was part of a plot to kill her stepson, who was battling for his late dad’s fortune.
According to Popeater, Anna was investigated in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall, who was trying to keep his fortune away from Anna’s sticky hands.
“Smith adamantly denied ever contemplating such a crime,” an agent wrote, and prosecutors eventually agreed the case could not go forward.
On April 26, 2001, letter to the FBI from Sally Meloch, an assistant U.S. attorney, said she reviewed the reports but “determined that there is insufficient evidence to establish that there was a murder-for-hire plot by Ms. Smith to kill Pierce Marshall.”
The case against Anna was eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence. One of Anna’s attorneys Sally Meloch doesn’t recall the case, but said, “Any investigations that we didn’t proceed with, we couldn’t comment on anyway.”
Ron Rale, Smith’s personal attorney during her life and the executor of her estate, said whatever allegations were made were absolutely false: “Unequivocally, there was never a murder-for-hire plot that Anna was involved in. Absolutely false. Never happened. End of story.”
Do you think that Anna is guilty?

Um…she’s been dead for a couple years now, right? Who gives a crap. In fact both of them are dead, a case was CLOSED on it, and they’re dead. Next.
