FBI Investigated Anna Nicole Smith In A Murder For Hire Scheme
Way back in 2000 the FBI interviewed Anna Nicole Smith as a part of an investigation into a scheme to murder E. Pierce Marshall. He was the son of the man Anna had married and whom she was fighting to get a piece of the $550M fortune.
Ultimately the FBI said there was no evidence and so they returned a gun and a knife to Anna which they had seized during the interview. At the time they interviewed Anna they also interviewed E. Pierce Marshall and this is what I found the most interesting. He told federal officials that while Anna was married to his father, Anna would ask his father for $50-60,000 twice a week every week during the entire time they were married.
What in the hell did Anna Nicole Smith spend $100K a week on? No matter if you love her or hate her I think we can all admit that she didn't have the best taste in the world when it came to much of anything and I can't imagine her spending $100K a week on anything other than drugs and chewing gum and her hair. That is a lot of money to spend every week. I guess she could have been saving it or also dividing it out to Howard K and other people.
Marshall also said that Anna didn't spend much time with his dad after he finally married her. The only time he would see her is when she would come over to get the money. Most of the time a story like this would be suspect but it comes directly from the notes of an FBI agent and as Martha Stewart found out, you don't want to lie to an FBI agent because you will go to jail.
It is sometimes pretty easy to forget that Anna married the guy for money. We think of her and her television show and the way she died and her son died and leaving her daughter behind, but the truth is she wasn't that wholesome and could be pretty ruthless at times as well.
