anna Nicole smith investigated

Anna Nicole Smith was investigated for plotting to have the son of her late husband, J. Howard Marshall, killed.  Even though the FBI investigated Smith, she was never prosecuted.  According to newly released files, Smith was under observation in 2000 and 2001 for scheming to kill E. Pierce Marshall over the hundreds of millions they were battling for in court.  The Associated Press reports:

Smith’s FBI records, obtained exclusively by The Associated Press, say the agency investigated Smith in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall, who was at the center of a long legal fight to keep the starlet, model and stripper from collecting his father’s oil wealth, valued in the hundreds of millions. The younger Marshall died three years ago of natural causes.
The documents released under the Freedom of Information Act depict an investigation going on as the fight raged over J. Howard Marshall II’s estate. Vast sections of the 100 pages of released materials — a fraction of Smith’s full FBI file — are whited out, and no evidence of her involvement in such a plot is detailed.

The FBI files show a .357-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver was confiscated from Smith’s home, along with a 3 1/2-inch stainless steel knife and, for reasons that were not explained, a black and orange hat described as “Dr. Seuss.” All three objects were returned to her about seven months later.

Would they let this woman rest?  I would probably want to kill E. Pierce Marshall too?!  I mean Anna had to make out with that old man!!  Doesn’t she deserve something?!  No wonder she was under so much stress.  She was dealing with the trial and an FBI investigation.  Poor Anna.  R.I.P.
