Panel debates Anna Nicole burial site

A three-judge appeals panel in Florida expressed doubts today about burying Anna Nicole Smith in Texas, as her mother wants, but also questioned how the advocate in charge of funeral plans knew the Playboy model intended to be laid to rest in the Bahamas.

The judges ended the hearing without indicating when they would rule. Two members of the panel, however, said Smith’s purchase of burial plots in the Bahamas suggested a desire to be taken there.
