in response, cops are releasing this sketch of the suspect. we would like you to take a good look because county officials are urging residents to take precaution. travel in groups and above all be vigilant this holiday weekend. three other people have been killed since last saturday. late breaking details on the death of the king of pop beginning with exactly what killed him. >> i could hear michael in the s sg onend, mr. jackson, and he he was saying one side of my body is real cold and one side of my body is real hot and i don't know what's wrong.knha he said can you find me a doctor. i don't care how much moneyuc they want, i don't care what ir is they want, i want this drug. >> i got this chill through my body and i said michael, if you take that medicine you might not wake up. u >> i said look, this is a veryy serious drug.ru at first i wondered did he understand what he was telling me me and he said yes, i knowexacw exactly what it is, i had it

before. there is no side effects he said, it is safe. i said michael, it isn't. i't the bottom line, it can cause death. >> that was michael jackson'se nurse describing symptoms that we can finally diagnose. fin it mirrors a 2007 fda alert toa healthcare professionals art detailing several clusters of patients who have experienced chills, fever and body aches shortly after receivingod propofol, also known as diprivan for sedation or general an anesthesia. tonight, we know diprivan wasl. fund in the jackson home. we nona michael was taking it for insome nia and administering it for that use is like using a shotgun to kill an ant. tonight, this are reports that an investigators are focusing on five doctors who may or may noc have supplied jackson with the

drugs that ultimately ended his life.ks in a moment we will hear from uri geller who alleges he routinely got rid of drugs, sir, rings lying around the house in an effort to shield his friend from the overzealcki luciana doctors.th first, craig rivera learned shocking allegations on the death and a possible coverup. craig? mi> there is so much information throughout. information about the prescription drugs found in thd jackson residence.jackson i can tell you that i wasapoacb approached by a free lance journalist claiming one of his producers allegely witnessed the disposal of prescription drawings coming from the jackson residence. we have no way to prove this. w a person they say was seen leaving the home and drugs weru dumped and they presented pill bottles to me which contained

oxy co-done. it is one of the many rumors circulating about what happened at the jackson residence the night he died.sentive i asked the question toatto dr. conrad murray and they told me per their agreement with the lapd they will not respond to rumors or innuendos from o unnamed sources unless it comes from the los angeles medical examiner's office. they are awaiting theer i toxicology. and on the website there is ast quote which reads i can state s that there was no demerol orerl oxycontined a minute stirred or prescribed by dr. murray. we know that the dea and california justice department have take and role in the inquiry involving the possible drug abuse and sudden death of michael jackson and the f attorney general will use the s same resources he useond to investigate the 2007 overdose

death of anna nicole. i the databases track potentially dangerous prescription drugs,nn the name of the doctor who prescribes. the name, the person for whomit it is prescribed and the quantity and date of the prescription. if the bottles come out and the there are names and theyy areas real names the database can definitely track them down. >> they said it has been helpful and was key in the b te investigation of anna nicole as well. i think we will see people in big trouble here when the results come in. uri, there is something important that you want to tell our viewers. please go ahead. confidante urigeler. >> there is something you wanted to tell the viewers. go ahead. >> the results of michael's autopsy won't be known for weeks. i understand that the police found dangerous sedativetives at his house. i hope he wasn't taking that but i fear it is possible. migrate hope is that --

my great hope is that michael's appalling death will shock young people to their senses before they can slide into a life of drug abuse. you know, the loss to music and entertainment is incalculable but so is the potential lesson michael's life and death can teacher. i think it was important to say this. >> a message that i hope resonates with not just young people but adults across the world. it is a deadly mix that happened here and these doctors that prescribed wrecklessly the narcotics for him should be prosecuted. if they find that the drugs were given to himnd they contributed to his death, they could be put away for manslaughter for criminally negligent or reckless homicide. you actually saw in michael jackson's room dangerous narcotics, needles,

paraphernalia used to take drugs. what specifically did you see? do you recall the narcotics or pain killers that you witnessed him having in his room 12346789. >> look, in london, what shocked me into the realization that there was something wrong was the state michael was in. for instance, i couldn't wake him up one morning when we had to go some where. we wanted to go so the zoo, he wanted to see gorillas and i simply could not wake him up. i kind of shook him gently and i said to him michael, open your eyes, what happened? what did you take? what did you do? and that is when it dawned on me that something was desperately wrong. you know, it came to situations where i slept by his bed, i slept next -- adjoining room

because i was afraid that something will happen to him in the middle of the night, that someone will enter and give him something. i am so appalled and absolutely shocked how this could have gone for so many years. yes, there were some things that i had to confy state from the room. >> like what? >> i will not go into that. so did the body guard who just a few days ago spoke about it. we tried to keep those things away from michael. i couldn't -- >> were some of these things injectable? did you confiscate needles or paraphernalia. you know the difference between a pain reliever from over-the-counter or a hardcore or prescription medication that should be taken in hospitals.

did you see something like that? >> do i not believe it was hardcore narcotics but i did see the objects you mentioned. i just don't want to go there. >> do you recall seeing diprivan in the room at all? >> no. >> this is something that is important and that is why there is an investigation in this country with the dea and the los angeles police department and the attorney general's office and the fbi because it is that serious. there are a number of doctors, four so far being investigated because of the exact things that you witnessed with michael jackson. and i have seen you in interviews where you actually confronted michael and he got upset and you would get pushed away by the enablers around him. >> oh, i had moments where i had to shout at him. i shouted michael! you know, you are going to die! this is going to kill you!

i tried to drum some sense into his mind and unfortunately on some occasions he stared at me. >> thank you for your time and thoughts. >> thank you, kimberly, very much. >> okay. >> thank you. >> before we take this quick commercial break, we want to give you something to think about. as we go to break we will leave you with the rehearsal footage for michael jackson's tour. our question to you, did he look sick? log on to fox news.com/geraldo. we will show you the results at the end of the program. and now, that footage. ♪ some think that life it just a part of this but it's -- ♪ ♪

this is a fox news alert. and this is just in. a barge in new york city carrying fireworks for the major macy's fourth of july fireworks caught on fire on the new jersey side of the hudson river where fireworks were being fed off. we will keep you updated throughout the hour and bring video to you as well. police have confirmed the

powerful sedative dative diprivan was found in michael jackson's home. with so many different drugs present, how are they going to isolate which ones really led to his death? joinjoining us is famed forensc pathologist dr. sear wecht. you said that we will be able to determine probably conclusively what killed michael jackson based on the information that you have now and if you were doing this autopsy and then going to review the toxicology, what would you be looking for and what do you suspect we will find? >> diprivan, the generic name of which is propofol is a powerful sedative anesthetic agent. administered not only in a hospital but by an

anesthesiology gift. the idea of that being self-administered at home is actual incredible. fast acting, within 30-40 seconds arm to brain time after injection you will be out. it produces a respiratory depression. produces appearance nina. can produce airway obstruction and can produce a marked decrease in the arterial blood pressure. a drug that the most skilled doctors are very careful of and also a drug that must be administered under the most aseptic conditions because of things having to do with microorganisms. it is highlighted that t must be given with utmost precaution. think of giving this drug whether by himself or through a doctor at his home. this is a drug that is designed to take care of an acute

situation, put somebody under right away and then to monitor very carefully. if you have other drugs involved now, and we don't know, demerol, vicodin, oxycontin, xanax, who knows what. i said that it is going to be a panoply of drugs. they will not release them until they have the interviews with the doctors and pharmaceutical companies and all of the records and available information in order to see where they are going because this is more than just the determination of a cause of death. this is as you have pointed out a criminal investigation and reminds me, it is so directly analogous to anna nicole where two doctors and a lawyer have already been indicted, facing

trial and the same thing is going happen here with several doctors who prescribed and i understand it to be true that some of the prescriptions were written under fictitious names just as in the an anna nicole case. >> if they say excuse me were do you have a medical reason to take this prescription. a lot of people that l. be in this net being cast right now because you do have the dea involved, the attorney general's office, the lapd, the lada's office. no stone is going to be left unturned here and i think people need to be made an example of. what is the difference between them and drug dealers and pushers even the street? >> i agree with you completely. we have written in this in our book a question of murder about anna nicole and daniel smith of drugs being given by doctors, prescribed under fictitious

names, enablers are all kinds and these deaths are occurring all over america in which multiple drugs are being used. we only learn about it when it involves anna nicole, elvis presley, heath ledger. when you are a celebrity you can get any drug at any time of the kay or night, it is unbelievable. you will see more pointed out here. maybe it is the lesson that we try to get out and it is quite possible that maybe a few people here and there will begin to understand that you cannot take all of these drugs which have a central nervous system depressant effect which depress the lungs and respiratory and cardiac activity and lead to death. i would wager that nobody has ever prescribed diprivan for

home use. never in the history of the drug's existences has it been prescribed for home use. >> do not collect 200, do not pass go. i have more questions for you. stand by, please. when we come back, investigators are cracking down on the doctors and they should who allegedly prescribed michael jackson with his prescrcrcrcrcrcrcrcrcrcr to demonstrate the versatility of new pledge multi surface, we've placed hailey in this glass box... and asked her to clean... excuse me, i got to get my kids, soon. i don't have time to clean all this. no worries. new pledge multi surface is fast and effective. nice. quickly cleaning all these surfaces. fast. wow. i'm done.

and a new focus in the investigation of her death. has been obtained by fox news. addressed to dr. kapur, one of numerous drug sources apparently, asked kapur to

prescribe a list of drugs to m., chase, one of anna's aliases. two of lorazepam and dalmine and another for met tha meth a. this one was sent to vickyhe marshall, anna's real name by y dr. maurice levy, a beverlyer hills internist.nterst. further evidence that the drug adduled anna nicole had all thl downers she needed to die from. . >> authorities are investigating allegations that the 50-year-old jackson had been consuming pain killers and sedative datives. the attorney general are

helping los angeles police investigate the possible involvement of pry description drugs. tonight, leading investigators to believe aliases were also used to obtain the drugs. joining us, dr. wecht and also joining us is judge who presided over the anna nicole case and ann bremner and hoping to be joined by stuart backerman. i'm going two back to the doctor for a moment here. the video was 48 hours before michael jackson died. he is dancing. he is singing. he looks strong, powerful, although thin. so how is he able to do that type of thing. many people speculateing that he was given uppers or amphetamines and then needed the downers to go to sleep and

wanted to be knocked out, hence then the dip private sector van. van -- diprivan. >> i think that your observation and analysis is, correct. just like elvis presley who had about 12 drugs in his system. they would give him an upper to play handball at 3:00 in the morning, give him a downer to go to sleep. and so was it with michael jackson. and this certainly as the picks suggest the use of an upper and then he would need a downer and that is where probably a drug like diprivan came in to put him under very, very quickly. these drugs, it must be kept in mind, do not have a lingering effect and they can come and go in a matter of hours depending upon the dosage. so it is not surpriseing that a short time before, in this case, 48 hours, he appeared to

be normal but that doesn't have anything to do with what he then took on the day that he died, maybe minutes even before he succumbed to respiratory depression. >> and we don't know what drugs were taken at what time and the combination of the sinner giftic effect. >> you are saying you have to be careful in an emergency situation. in anne r., you give them this drug to put them under to perform a surgical procedure so this is what michael jackson is taking to sleep? and what kind of equipment is in the house to rhesus tate him? what is going on? how could any doctor do this? >> you are right on target. that particular drug must not be used as you have all available for immediate

implementation such as an endo tracheal tube and also as you pointed out earlier this is not something that you take in your mouth or shoot into your skin. >> i.v. and probably should have a defibrillator to shock the heart, too, if you have to bring somebody back. >> absolutely. and this brings us back, too, i can't help but think about who was around in the hours before he died and how come nobody notice anything when all of the drugs there were and when his history of abuse was known to it seems everybody in the world that had anything to do with him. >> i don't think cpr on the bed is going to cut it. stand by, also craig is going to reconstruct the drive from jackson's house to the hospital, how long did that take and whether the king of

pop could have been saved with precious time lost.

this is america's news headquarters. i'm lauren sivan. we want to update you on the death of former nfl quarterback steve mcnair. he was shot multiple times. he played 13 seasons. led the tennessee titans to the super bowl in 2000. the bodies of mcnair and a woman were found in a nashville condo. the 20-year-old woman suffered a gunshot wound to the head. investigators are not actively looking for a suspect. madoff was sentenced to 150 years behind bars earlier this

week. the consultant's job is to help mad off the best place to do his time. col due to his lengthy sentence he will be housed in a tougher siv prison than those that host white collar criminals. i'm lauren sivan.headline now, we return to "geraldo at large." begging for attention. today they would finally "wipe out the agressors on the globe once and for all. >> an apparent tto f to phish a missile perhaps more than one in the direction ofai hawaii, they might launch long range, medium range,listic short-range, a ballisticn missile in our direction on thl fourth of july weekend. >> oh, a missile launched at us on fourth of july. just as you our terrified population say ooh. aah.fied pulat are you familiar with fourth of

july? the whole sky is an explosion. the whole sky is an explosion. >> that is pretty funny. an even funnier tongue in cheek joke tonight as america celebrates independence day, north korea is sending us a message. they launched seven ballistic missiles from the eastern coast and ought over the ocean. the missiles fired could not have reached the united states and do not have nuclear capabilities but the move clearly provocative has prompted the u.s. military to increase defenses around, hawaii, which is the state closest to north korea which is where adam housely is reporting from tonight. >> people are aware as there are seven major naval commands based here in o oahu. the launch of seven missiles and four means 11 in the last few days, none further than 250 to 300-miles in range, meaning they could only hit targets in

south korea potentially and could not reach japan and certainly not long enough to reach, hawaii, which is 4500 miles away. the united states has deployed the radar system which can detect missile launches and is built on oil platforms moveable around the area and a number of cruisers and detriers which can shoot down potential targets if need be before they reach an allied ship or country. there are still no signs of a long-range missile being put into place which could potentially reach, hawaii, at some point or be shot a significant distance over the pacific. reporting in hawaii for "geraldo at large," ada adam housely. now, back to you in new york. alaskan governor sarah

palin dropped a political bomb shell yesterday. >> this political absurdity and politics and personal destruction. todd and i were looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills just to set the record straight.the people are not going to stop draining the public resources and spending other people's money in this game. i will work hard for and campaign for those who are proud to be american who are inspired by our ideals and won't deride them. i will support others who seek to serve in or out of office. i don't care what party they are in or no party at all, inside of alaska or outside of alaska but i won't do it from the governor's desk. i never believed that i nor any one else needs a tight toll do this, to make a difference, to help people. so i choose for my state and for my family more freedom to

progress all the way around so that alaska may progress i will not seek reelection as governor. >> palin's surprise move is sending shock waves through washington and raising a bunch of questions about her motives and what are her plans for the future? kind of a mystery. on the left we have former white house democratic council and on the right, did you even doubt it for a minute, s.c.kupp. who has the answer. a week from now you are going to say i told you, kimberly. >> i don't know if this was a good move. we all have to wait for the what next. i don't know if she plans to run again in 2012 or if she is thinking 2016. without that information, it is really hard to say. >> how about this, i mean do you take her for her word? she says she is tired of. >> which one?

>> the politics of personal destruction and that she wanted to take a break and focus on her family and see what she can two for the country and work on the causes important to her? >> i think s.c. put her finger on the pulse her when she said which one ask. it was an in coherent press conference. she talked about a point guard passing a basketball. well, you know, point guards stay on the court, they don't go into the stands after they pass the ball. >> i like that analogy, though. >> this didn't make sense. i think she is probably while she is not the deepest thinker when it comes to policy, she is a cunning person and smarter than a lieutenant o -- than a t of people give her credit for. >> 60% of the american public doesn't think she is qualified for higher office. i think she recognizes there is

no way she is a viable candidate in 2012. either there is an ethics matter she wants to shut down or she figures she is at the high water mark in terms of her political career and might at well get out now and make the money in the sent and that is -- in the celebrity and that is what she prefers to do. the public doesn't think she is particularly qualified and then becomes fodder for the comics to the critics. >> does that hurt her, the people that say she wasn't quite ready tore prime time that she needs more experience. would it have helped her to stay as governor of the state to have that kind of experience or have some master plan to maybe run for the senate seat or do something like that and then go to washington? >> no the first point, strategically the best move would have been to go back to alaska, bone up on foreign policy, do the good stuff she has been doing in alaska since

day one, cutting taxes, lowering spending, working on energy sources, offshore drilling and then come back with four years under her belt as governor instead of the one and a half she had in 2008. this could be a brilliant strategy. that could be a really good move. as julienne said, she is really smart. you can read between the lines of the vanity fair smear article, she is a cunning politician. i think she has something in her back pocket but we don't know what it is. >> real quick because i have to wrap this up. >> i kind of agree with s.c. right there. there are a variety that did it, bill bradley, gary hart, bob dole did it. if the majority of the public thinks you are not qualified you don't quit when the going

gets tough in alaska. >> i think she will be fun. >> i got to wrap this. we'll see what happens. we haven't heard the last of her. >> going for the bubbles, trust me. >> well, i don't blame her. >> now -- going for the bucks. >> now, the,line of the ambulance drive to the hospital. >> so here we have the fire station. this is fire station number 71, the station that was called, correct. >> we just started the timer. this is station 71. we are now making a turn on sunset boulevard and it is less than one mile to michael jackson's residence here on sunset boulevard and at 12:11 in the afternoon there would be no traffic so an ambulance driving code three to a full arrest would be driving a little faster than we are driving and right now 25 seconds have -- has passed and we are almost there. >> this is basically the same neighborhood, only a mile and a

half or so from michael jackson's home if the ambulance was notified immediately that would take about a minute, over a minute to get there? >> it would take just under -- just under a minute and a half to get to this residence. what it took, according to the fire department was two minutes to get to the home. >> okay. so we have the turn coming up. >> we are just coming around the bend and once we come up to the s turns right here, that is where michael jackson's residence would be. it has been a minute and five seconds since passing the fire station. >> to i'm driving a little fast but obviously not as fast as an emergency vehicle would. >> right here. and i'm about to stop the watch. and we are now on scene one minute 41 seconds. >> i love that. i love the packages you do. >> what did you learn from literally going to the scene and seeing how the whole thing

was laid out? >> the biggest criticism is that there was a to 20* to 30 minute delay between the time that he called 911 and the time he discovered michael jackson. i think the point is that if a call to 9121 was made by any -- 911 call was made by any one who came upon michael jackson there is a likelihood that he could have been saved. the paramedics and doctors would have the life saving technique and drugs to counter act the powerful narcotics if that is in fact what killed him. >> i don't want to sound like tarzan banging my chest in the jungle but we opened door in the anna nicole case. this is the beginning, deja vu all over again. we show it in your trial when you go through the transcript, we asked the question to stern about enabling and showed all

the prescrip shins to different people and showed the abuse and doctors recklessly giving drugs to anna nicole. and nose medical examiners in l.a. already know. they just want his burial to be peaceful. they already know it's drugs. you don't have to be charlie chan to figure that out. they will wait until after tuesday. on wince, al -- on wednesday, l hell will break loose and we will see that it was drugs. >> the sun is reporting that was met that doan, okay okay cn continue,ly dough cane, valium, xanax. the list goes on and on. are you kidding me? somebody is going to jail. >> a medical license isn't a license to kill. the hippocratic oath is first do no harm. who is given anesthesia to

sleep and how do they get out of it? this is unbelievable as you show this is like death by lee shall injection. it is wrong and i don't understand why this continues to happen. i feel like we need a national database to log in all the prescriptions being dispensed and hand out like skittles, like candy. >> your reference to lee shall injection consists of a sedative and pain killer and to decrease the activity of heart. >> we have to take a quick break so hold back. right after the break, more with the panel on the subject we've made a great product even better. now every drop of shell gasolines... contain a nitrogen-enriched cleaning system... that seeks and destroys engine gunk... left by lower-quality gasoline. it protects engines from performance-robbing gunk. try new nitrogen-enriched shell gasolines.

thanks for joining us. >> hi, kimberly. >> listen, the reports say that you were in the hospital when michael jackson was brought in. you have to tell me this story. >> it is unbelievable. i had arthroscopic knee surgery and was literally on the operating table ready to get the anesthesia and heard a commotion outside in the nurse's station talking to each other about the fact that they heard on the radio that michael jackson was just driven to the hospital and that he might day. then, of course, i got the anesthesia and two and a half hours later i woke up and in the recovery room the nurse in charge of the recovery room, i asked her in a haze obviously i thought i heard before i went under that something is wrong with michael jackson and she said i'm terribly sorry for your loss, it is official,

michael jackson has just passed away. >> and not only was he someone that you worked with but you were close friends with him for many years. >> well, i loved him. i thought michael was just a wonderful person. you know, clearly he was a contradiction, a classical contradiction, but, i like to think of him and i certainly would like to remember him in a very positive vein because he was so good to me. he was good to a lot of people that i work with. he was just an amazing human being but yet he had his demons and he wasn't able to overcome his inkurts and in the -- insecurities and in the end obviously succumbed to those. >> you weren't surprised to learn that it appears that be that he died from taking these

prescription drugs. >> i was surprised in terms of the timing. michael was sort of getting back into a comeback mode. mode. on the other hand, you know, he has gone through a heck of a lot over the last 15-20 years. let's go back to 1948, the pepsi commercial. >> that -- 1984. the pepsi commercial. >> people don't realize he not only had his hair singed off which required him to wear wigs for the rest of his life but that the scalding of his scalp was so severe and he was in so much pain that he was prescribed mitigating prescription drugs. at first demerol. >> go ahead, real quick. >> i was going say that is where it started. he took it in an innocent way and over time it became more habitual. >> a lot of people feel that the other thing that did him in was the child molestation

child. he was acquitted but still the stigma of it lingers on. >> a lot of people said that that killed him. remember, he danced on the top of an suv. the first time i saw him, he was peace sign, triumphant, coming out of the two suvs. as the trial went on there were a number of hospitalizations and the pajama day. he got thinner and had bandages on his fingers and he was very frail and seemed at times not all there and it just was like tragic decline in the trial. >> looked like a zombie at the end. i think it is no surprise that this is the way things turned out for him. >> that's right, kimberly. >> i want to thank everybody on the panel for being here tonight. up next, we have the king of rock and roll, the king of 307,

more in common with the two of more in common with the two of them in life and in death hi, may i help you? yeah, i'm looking for car insurance that isn't going to break the bank. you're in the right place. only progressive gives you the option to name your price. here. a price gun? mm-hmm. so, i tell you what i want to pay. and we build a policy to fit your budget. that's cool. uh... [ gun beeps ] [ laughs ] i feel so empowered. power to the people! ha ha! yeah! the option to name your price -- new and only from progressive. call or click today.

the king of pop in life and in death seems to have a lot in common with another king, the king of rock and roll, elvis presley. how much you ask? joining us is the chief investigative reporter for the daily belief.com who is reporting that jackson's allege the overdose could have been accidental. thanks for being with me this evening. tell me what you mean. >> you know, kimberly, i think that i was told by a close confy daunt in the jackson entourage that he believes that michael so wanted out of this performance deal that he had with a.g. concerts to do 50

dates, he really wanted to do only ten that he was looking for ways to get out of it and talked about pretending that he had swine flu and might be sick. this was a person addicted to pain killers and he thought he knew where the limit was. they take ten during the day and add another four and take him to the e.r. and they will be able to renegotiate the contract. i have little doubt it was a drug overdose. >> that is suggesting this was purposeful behavior on the part of michael jackson because he was so stressed out and desperate and fearful that he wouldn't be able to complete the terms of that contract so he would have had somebody that was going to help him assist him in that. >> kimberly, you will understand this clearly as an attorney, though, but this is the part that is key. michael had gotten out of

contracts before. he had been sat down last september and told essentially michael you are bankrupt and you are going to lose, they finally got it through his head, you are going to lose your record catalog with all of the beatles songs, sonny is going to take it -- sony is going to take it over unless you start working. he gets up to the stand and announces to the world i am doing ten shows. right after that the a.g. people and the advisors come back and say the contract says 30 and then there were another 11 and change is to 50 eventually and he complains, moans for the next few months that he really doesn't want to do that number. in the end, michael jackson is like a child, he wants chocolate ice cream and he is going to get it even if the store is closed. he doesn't want to do 50

concerts. >> you draw similarities between elvis and michael jackson. how do they compare and contrast? >> both incredible musical talents clearly. and michael was fascinated. i talked to people around michael jackson and he was fascinated by elvis. if you listen to elvis in the late 1950s and you didn't see him, you would think he was a black singer doing r and b. he moved only stage like no other white man you had seen and called the king. michael wants to be called the king of pop. his fascination with elvis is so great that he ends up marying lisa marie. >> do you think that he had somebody that was complicit and knew that he wanted to get out of this that conspired with him to say we can create a medical situation to say that you cannot fulfill the terms of the
