Hayden Panettiere Fatal Drugs Labeled "Brian," Damning Texts Revealed

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Toxicology reports on Hayden Panettiere's death are still pending, but sources say the actress died after taking one Oxycodone pill laced with Fentanyl.  The investigation has turned bi-coastal as the Feds look closely at drug related text messages between Hayden and someone who may have been supplying her with drugs.  California neighbors report regularly seeing three people at Hayden's home, just long enough to drop off packages, suspected to be drug dealers. We know that Hayden's Los Angeles home was searched by federal drug agents shortly after her death, reportedly looking for evidence linking the the reported fatal pill that killed her to a possible drug dealer.   Joining Nancy Grace today: Randolph Rice  -  Former Prosecutor and Current Criminal Defense & Civil Attorney at Rice Law, website: ricelawmd.com, IG, FB, X: @ricelawmd Robert Crispin -  Private Investigator “Crispin Special Investigations”, Former Federal Task Force Officer for the United States Department of Justice, DEA and Miami Field Division.
