Jackson Doc at Home While Feds Collect Papers, Pills

Dr. Conrad Murray was in Vegas while authorities raided his Houston office; L.A. County Coroner's Office also picks up docs

Even when stuff is happening in Houston, it stays in Vegas.

E! News confirmed Thursday that Dr. Conrad Murray has been sticking close to his Las Vegas home as he has become the focal point of the authorities' manslaughter investigation stemming from the death of Michael Jackson.

"It has been very quiet there, not much movement," a neighbor told E! News. "But he was there Monday night. I saw his Mercedes. I don't know if the rest of the family was there, though."

Helicopters hovered over his property Wednesday, although the real action was taking place in Houston, where Drug Enforcement Administration agents, LAPD detectives and Houston police were conducting a search of Murray's Houston medical offices and a public storage unit he's been renting since April.

Among the items seized, per the warrant obtained by E! News, were vials of the appetite suppressant phentermine and the muscle relaxant clonazepam, two computer hard drives, the cardiologist's Rolodex, Fed-Ex records, letters from the IRS, pamphlets from a local sleep center, a Medical Board certificate and various other documents, including a notice of suspension from Doctors Hospital, which a hospital employee attributed to "something to do with a chart that needs to be signed."

The warrant also revealed that copies of two emails were recovered sent from Stacie Howe, Murray's secretary at Global Cardiovascular Associates in Las Vegas.

"I do not know what they are looking for and I can't possibly tell you how anything they took in any way connects with the death of Michael Jackson," Murray's attorney, Edward Chernoff, said.

The search warrant filed in Harris County District Court states that authorities were looking for "property or items constituting evidence of the offense of manslaughter that tend to show that Dr. Conrad Murray committed the said criminal offense."

Police were authorized to seize "billing records, medication orders, transport receipts, billings receipts, medical records, and computerized medical records, fro implements and instruments used in the commission of a crime."

According to court documents, the search warrant was sealed to protect the integrity of the evidence.

"Law enforcement officers in Houston and Los Angeles believe that if the details of the affidavit become public, any other drug or medical records implicating Dr. Conrad Murray or any other persons will quickly become publicized and then likely destroyed by any person the records may implicate in the death of Michael Joseph Jackson."

Inquiring minds went about their business in the City of Angels this week, as well.

In addition to confiscating Jackson's medical records from nutritionist Cherilyn Lee yesterday, the L.A. County Coroner's Office made a visit to the Beverly Hills offices of Dr. Randy Rosen on Monday.

Rosen's practice, Spalding Pain Medical Clinic, is listed as Paris Katherine Michael Jackson's place of birth on the 11-year-old's birth certificate.

"I visited Dr. Rosen's office on Monday and Cherilyn Lee's office yesterday," Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter confirmed. "Medical records were received from both locations and both locations cooperated."

With so much cooperation, this case should be wrapped up in no time, right?
