Summary:

The Associated Press used FOIA to obtain records showing that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had investigated allegations of a possible murder-for-hire scheme involving Anna Nicole Smith, targeting an heir of her elderly husband. Law-enforcement authorities ultimately found insufficient evidence that Smith had been involved, and declined to prosecute anyone.

Notes:

The materials released included 100 pages with substantial redactions. The Associated Press described the materials as reflecting "a fraction of Smith's full FBI file."
