His former bodyguard says Larry Birkhead is in it for money

From what Larry Birkhead's former bodyguard has told NY Daily News, Birkhead's intent in claiming paternity of his daughter Dannielynn were not entirely noble. Worst still, the death of Daniel, Anna Nicole son, may not have been accidental.


The body guard, Speer, 53, happens to be a decorated former deputy with the L.A. Sheriff's Dept.

Speers recalls how Birkhead fake posed at the grave of Anna Nicole’s son Daniel in order to allow paparazzi from Splash photo agency, who were hiding in the bush, to take pictures of him.

"Larry and I went to Nassau for over a week in January of this year. One day he said he wanted to go to Daniel's grave, ostensibly to pay tribute to him on his birthday. But it turned out he had another idea. He said, 'We're going to meet two guys from Splash.'

"They had arranged to wait in some bushes at the cemetery. They took pictures of Larry pretending to be sad and emotional at the grave site. Only the Splash guys weren't quite satisfied, so they asked him to do it again, and for me to get out of the picture. We did three takes. That was the first sign to me that Larry was in it for the money."

Alluding to Brikhead's curious flip-flop on Stern, Speers recalls that during the police investigations into Daniel’s death Birkhead told authorities Stern "was wiring money from Anna's estate to offshore accounts and that he'd forged her signature."

Birkhead also claimed he'd "watched Howard giving [Smith] drugs," Speer says.
Later, however, Birkhead aligned with Stern.

Speers alleges that when Larry went to the Horizon mansion in Bahamas to meet Dannielynn for the first time, Stern told Larry he was ready to give him custody of Dannielynn provided Larry allowed him to remain executor of the estate.

Larry said, "I'll think about it."

The most disturbing of Speers revelation is his claim of having seen photographs of Anna Nicole lying in her hospital bed with Dannielynn and a dead Daniel!

While he and Birkhead were on board a private jet belonging to a wealthy friend of Smith, the friend's wife "pulled out a stack of photographs," says Speers.

"They were pictures of Anna and the baby ... in a hospital bed with her son Daniel. Daniel appeared to be dead. [The friend] told me he was dead," Speers adds.
