Dr. Conrad Murray is the target of a manslaughter investigation.
In an incredible twist just one month after Michael Jackson’s death on June 25, police arrived armed with a search warrant authorizing seizure of documents at a storage locker in Houston belonging to the star’s personal physician.
Law enforcement is hunting for “items constituting evidence of the offense of manslaughter that show Dr. Conrad Murray committed said criminal offense.”
Bizarre findings in the investigation into Jackson’s death have shed new light on the timeline of his passing and Conrad Murray’s odd actions around that time.
Authorities believe Jackson died from an overdose of the powerful anesthesia Propofol, and that Murray may have administered it (he has not been charged).
Dr. Murray called 911 at 12:21 p.m. PST, and says he found Jackson in distress a half hour earlier. But Dr. Murray’s employees made a trip to a Houston storage facility at 9:22 a.m. PST, raising all sorts of questions about what happened.
The storage facility manager says two women picked up 3-5 boxes and became nervous when the manager began questioning them about why they were there.
Also, authorities are keenly interested in talking to a woman named Stacey Howe who is in some way connected to Dr. Conrad Murray’s medical practice.
During this week’s Houston DEA raid of his office, federal agents seized two “Yahoo emails from Stacey Howie (sic).” In the raid of Dr. Murray’s storage unit, the agents seized “correspondence addressed to Stacey Howe.”
Howe is connected to Dr. Conrad Murray’s Las Vegas medical practice.
Several items seized at Murray’s Houston office where related to “Pamphlets on Sleep Center.” The Sleep Center is located near Doctor’s Hospital in Houston.
Dr. Murray was suspended from Doctor’s Hospital – allegedly for not completing medical records in a timely fashion. All of these revelations, plus incriminating statements Murray himself made, make criminal charges likely.
All in all, it’s not looking good.
