The Whigham funeral home that interred the late greaat Whitney Houston for weeks have vehemently denied leaking the infamous casket photo to the tabloids.  They did however insist they knew who did it, and the family knew as well and would disclose at some point.  That has yet to happen, so now the funeral home is willing to reveal the identity of the culprit themselves!  Guess who DID it??!?!?! This person has also been linked to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson as well.

LOOK AT THE CULPRIT after the JUMP!!!!!


Sources at the Whigham Funeral Home in New Jersey say they know, and they have an employee who saw the person take the picture. The person they’re pointing the finger at is Raffles van Exel, the hanger on I told you about in this column a couple of weeks ago. Van Exel, who has aliases of Raffles Benson and Raffles Dawson, was at the two private viewings of Whitney’s casket held at the Whigham Funeral Home. The first viewing was on the Friday night before the memorial service. The second one was on Sunday morning before the burial.

The people at Whigham noticed van Exel right away. Even though he’s not a member of the Houston family, he traveled with them on the private plane from Los Angeles to New Jersey. He was the only non family member who accompanied Whitney’s sister in law/manager and newly appointed executor Pat Houston in her car to Whitney’s memorial and funeral and to the viewings. According to one source, he even had his own bodyguard with him, which was more than a little unusual. A source from Whigham’s says when the picture appeared on the cover of the Enquirer, they told the Houstons of their suspicions.

Van Exel also had ties with Michael Jackson.


Shameful!  The family obviously trusted him into their circle and he betrayed their trust in the worst way.  Now that his identity has been released, what next???
