Daniel Smith Hire a P.I.?
Private Investigator Jack Harding said Daniel Smith contacted him about his mother before his death.
In an INSIDE EDITION exclusive, California private investigator Jack Harding reveals what could be some important clues in the Anna Nicole Smith mystery.
Harding says Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel met him last summer after a mutual friend put them in touch. This was just after a pregnant Anna Nicole moved to the Bahamas with Howard K. Stern.
The private investigator says Daniel wanted him to investigate his mother's relationship with her lawyer, Howard K. Stern.
Harding said Daniel felt that Stern was controlling his mother "like a svengali."
Harding says he never officially took the case because Daniel never contacted him again. Weeks later the 20-year-old was dead of an overdose. Harding was shocked because he says in all his dealings with Daniel he did not appear to be under the influence of any drugs.
"He was sober," he said. "He's shy and sort of weak."
Days after Daniel died, Harding says he was visited by Bahamian detectives investigating the young boys' death. He says they found his business card on Daniel's body.
Harding's suspicions were piqued even more last month after Anna Nicole died in Florida.
"It's too soon to be a coincidence," he said. "If I was the investigator there, I would tear everything apart to find this out."
