Anna Nicole Pals Raided
California authorities investigating the death of Anna Nicole Smith raided six locations Friday, including the offices and residences of two doctors, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. The raids are the first public signs that friends and associates of the starlet are under criminal investigation in California. Several people close to the model have fallen under suspicion since her death, including her psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. The Medical Board of California said in April it was investigating Eroshevich, who, according to documents, authorized all 11 prescription medications found in Smith's hotel room the day she died.
