Jackson Doc Staffer Ordered to Retrieve Boxes | TMZ.comJackson Doc Staffer Ordered to Retrieve Boxes
An uncle of the two sisters who worked at Dr. Conrad Murray's medical practice in Houston says the day Michael Jackson died, one of the women got a call from either Dr. Murray or someone who worked for him to go and pick up boxes at Dr. Murray's storage facility ... and she got the call more than 5 hours before Dr. Murray called 911.
Joseph Middleton tells TMZ the morning of June 25, one of his nieces, LaQuisha Middleton, had just arrived at Dr. Murray's medical practice where she worked when she received a call to go to the storage facility. Joseph does not know who called LaQuisha, but based on his conversations with her, he says the call came either from Dr. Murray or someone who works for Dr. Murray. He also says she went with another woman who was not LaQuanda Price, LaQuisha's sister.
The manager of the storage facility tells us two women, whom she believed at the time to be Laquisha and LaQuanda, arrived at 9:22 AM (Houston time) and picked up 3-5 boxes, as well as other items.
Joseph says LaQuanda told him LaQuisha picked up a chair and boxes, although when we interviewed LaQuanda in Houston, she only remembers a box -- she says a box containing dirty needles that LaQuisha inexplicably brought back to the office. In the same interview, LaQuisha only admitted picking up a chair.
Joseph told us LaQuisha got the call at around 9 AM Houston time. That is 7 AM Los Angeles time, more than 5 hours before Dr. Murray called 911.
As we first reported, it took multiple bottles of Propofol to keep Michael Jackson asleep through a single night. Law enforcement sources tell us they believe -- though cannot prove yet -- that Propofol bottles may have been stored at one or more locations under the control of Dr. Murray and FedExed to L.A.
Law enforcement has a suspicion Dr. Murray walked out of the room for a period of time after administering the Propofol, possibly fell asleep, and when he returned Jackson had stopped breathing. Cops think Dr. Murray then may have spent hours "cleaning up" the situation before calling 911.

Forget the Staples Centre - the best Michael Jackson tribute was in Wandsworth last Tuesday.
Kids at Belleville Primary, in Battersea, donned gruesome costumes and face paints for their dance club performance of Thriller.
The children have been perfecting their routine since September, so were spooked when they heard of Jackson’s death a month ago.And after sightings of his ghost at his Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, pupils suspect he might have made a special trip to Battersea last week.
Dance club teacher Georgina Mackenzie said: “The kids were completely spooked out. They thought he might come to haunt us because we were doing his song.
“They were sure if the CD stopped it would meant he had come to get us. Actually it did - twice.”
The year 6 pupils made their costumes at home and spent months studying the original video clip on YouTube to perfect the moves.
On their big night, record numbers of parents and pupils arrived to see their special tribute to the King of Pop.
Ms Mackenzie said: “Some of them may not have known who he is until now. They were born in 1998, so he was before their time.
“They really did work hard and put their time and energy into it. I’m sure he would have been proud if really was watching it.”
RSS Predicted 2004: The really simple future of the web | Friday, 20 February 2004 | Magazine | BBC NEWS

Tense, nervous headache? Try a new way to surfE-mails coming out of your ears? No time to stop and read your favourite websites? Is the luxury of being able to "surf the web" just a distant memory?
An old idea, which could have ended up on the dot.com rubbish tip, might be just what is needed to help solve your problems.
Most people have never heard of this idea, let alone seen what it can do. But legions of techies, bloggers and website developers tend to get very excited about it, believing that it's the best way to keep in touch with the web. Some believe it could even spell doom for spam.
The idea - let's call it RSS - comes from a bit of work done in the 1990s at Netscape and elsewhere. The point of it was that key bits of websites, such as headlines, could be sent out in a bare form, stripped of all fancy graphics and layouts. These could then be incorporated easily into other websites.
So what is it about this idea which gets people so excited?
The most compelling use of RSS is that it lets users read dozens of websites, all on the same page. The sites can be scanned in seconds rather than having to be laboriously loaded individually.
How one RSS reader looksMany sites and most weblogs now provide a feed of their content in RSS format. More are likely to join them as the audience grows.
A program (usually called a reader) collects a number of different sites' feeds chosen by the user, and displays them in much the same way as an e-mail inbox.
Typically one of these programs (dozens of which are available) will have a window listing all the sites the user has chosen. Top, for argument's sake, might be the BBC News Online Magazine. Other sites chosen will be listed below.
When a new story is published in the Magazine, the listing would be in bold, perhaps with a number in brackets indicating the number of new stories available - just as an inbox would indicate the number of unread e-mails.
The right-hand window of the reader would show a menu of stories currently in the Magazine index (headlines and first paragraphs). If the user cannot resist reading the full story, they would click on the headline and the full webpage would load.
The beauty of the system, apart from the speed of looking at many different sites, is that all the feeds are chosen by the user. No-one gets to set their agenda, and crucially no-one can intervene to send spam.
BBC News Online and our sister BBC Sport site have made available feeds to every part of our sites. There are about 100,000 people using the site in this way - a number which has been growing at 50% a month since the service was launched last year.
E-mail breakdown
James Crabtree, of think tank The Work Foundation, says there's growing belief in the technology community that e-mail is a system close to breakdown, thanks in part to spam, unread newsletters, and sheer weight of messages.
"E-mail is becoming a very big problem, and RSS is perhaps one of the ways out of it," he says.
It's just a really handy way of getting the information you want without having to surf around for it
James CrabtreeDanny O'Brien, co-editor of technology newsletter Need to Know, says there's scope for very specific information to be sent out. "It's really not hard to have your own personal RSS feed - you could suck in your appointments or latest news from your boss," he says.
"If you're a regular eBay shopper, you could set an RSS feed to keep an eye for bargains there; Amazon RSS lets you look for new books in your favourite category. Apple's iTunes Music Store has RSS feeds so that you can see what new albums are available, and so on."
James Crabtree says: "At the moment, not many people really know about using RSS. But if more people knew what it was, I think they would use it. It's just a really handy way of getting the information you want without having to surf around for it."
So how to go about it?
There is a range of different RSS readers available, some of them for free (click the Google link on the right for more details). Mac users currently seem to have the edge in easy-to-use programs, but there are many for PCs too. There are also websites which will do the same job as a reader without the need for a download.
There is a step-by-step guide to using RSS on this page -Using RSS
