Photo Essay Day Of Anna Nicole's Funeral After three weeks of courtroom drama and personal angst, it's time for Anna Nicole Smith's funeral.
"From the outset, Howard K. Stern has completely cooperated. He more than anyone else wanted to know what happened to Anna," Lily Anne Sanchez said in a press conference Monday afternoon.
The lawyer provided investigators with two laptops. She and Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper searched through Smith's e-mail dating back to March 31, 2006.
"It was to see if there was anyone with a motive to harm Anna. No email was found to that effect," Sanchez said.Photos: Anna Nicole Smith — Tragedy Strikes
Sanchez acknowledged that there were a few e-mails in which the model said "I want to die." But, the lawyer said they were all sent shortly after Smith's son Daniel died.
The e-mail did reveal something about Smith's relationship with the two men who claim to be the father of her daughter, Dannielynn.
"The bulk of her e-mails repeatedly lashed out at Larry Birkhead, telling him to stay away from her and her baby," Sanchez said. "In dozens of other e-mails she messages Howard repeatedly, telling him how much she loved him and other playful exchanges between a couple that no doubt added to Perper's findings that there was no suicide, no homicide and no criminal behavior of any kind."Video: WFOR-TV's Evan Bacon Reports From Miami
The lawyer said she was hired by Stern six weeks ago to work with authorities and provide them access to any information they needed to complete their investigation.
Sanchez slammed speculation that Stern was involved in any way with Smith's death. "At no time was there any indication of wrongdoing," she repeated twice for emphasis.
She added that the Seminole County police and Perper interviewed dozens of people, but could not find anyone with a motive.
