he goes on to say i didn't give -- i never prescribed oxycontin in my life. how am i going to prescribe. you do this to sedate him with mild levels of drugs, nothing the likes of what they are describe. the third doctor allegedly involved it the personal medic on hisse1996 tour. he received a public reprimand for prescribing drugs under an alias. he says he has not prescribed medicines to michael for years. and jackson's notorious so called vitamin doctor between 2002 and 2003. so enamored with jackson that the doctor invited the king of pop to live in the doctor's own florida home. one wonders what he served for snacks. a private investigator caught up with him yesterday and says the doctor used his staffers as a kind of human shield to keep our p.i. from getting close enough. and the first five doctors involved because we think there are others is one of those who jackson surrounded himself in later years. he somehow became jackson's financial advisors and denies any knowledge of the pop star's use of pain killers. >> we are looking at the prescription drug

on the website there is a quotery reads i can state that there was no demerol or oxycontin administered 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 they will use the same resources they did to investigate the 2007 death of anna nicole smith. the prescription name, the person for whom it is prescribed and the quantity and date of the prescription. if the bottles come out and there are names and they are real names the database can track them down. >> they said it was key in the investigation with anna nicole as well so i think we will see people 234 big trouble here when the results come back in. >> absolutely. >> here now, michael jackson 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

if you have other drugs involved now, and we don't know, demerol, vicodin, oxycontin, xanax, who knowsaid 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 th

and i said you already said that doctor didn't give him oxycontin or diprivan. it is significant because that is the question to answer and i know people inside the investigation are extremely interested in that and this is the road they are going down. >> this doctor isn't even licensed to prescribe much of anything in california, is he? >> well, those are the reports right now. but i will tell you, brian, that there is no evidence, the propopol that the police found inside of jackson's house, there was no evidence, whatsoever, looking at it, that there was any prescription associated with it and i'm told that law enforcement is saying that they believe that the drug may have been procured wrongfully, maybe through a doctor's office or somewhere and brought to jackson's home, which should have never been done but it doesn't look like it was a prescription. so somehow it got to jackson's home and somehow it may have gotten in to jackson's system and those are the things the cops are look agent. >> reporter: we mentiod that usher, jennifer hudson and a couple oth

, the lawyer came out and specifically said my client didn't give him demerol oxycontin. at that point people didn't know about diprivan, i.v. drips. has he responded to anything about other drugs? >> dr. murray's mystery, you are right, he was specific about what he didn't give him. he did not talk about diprivan. i'm sure that's what investigators want to know. la toya came out with claims that michael jackson actually died in dr. murray's room not in his bedroom as was earlier reported. i think there's still understand answered questions regard to dr. murray and we have not heard from him. >> jeff, it seems like a lot of people getting paid for interviews. i'm suspect of information that comes out of that. la toya jackson, i guess, getting paid by british tabloids, joe jackson getting paid by abc news for access to video. oh, by the way, we're also going to do an interview with you but we're not paying for that. is everybody making money on this thing? >> everybody is making money. there is a long history of jackson legal situations being compromised by what is known i

in addition to propofol, he regularly took oxycontin and demerol. >> the combination of those medicines created an especially dangerous circumstance, and would never have been given as part of legitimate medical treatment. >> reporter: a law enforcement official told the ap that jackson relied on propofol like an alarm clock, using it to go to sleep, then having a doctor stop the iv drip when he wanted to wake up. he is believed to have used it for two years. dr. murray only worked for jackson for two months. in a statement, his attorney urged patients saying things tend to shake out when all the facts are known. >>> meanwhile, it appears a fight may be brewing over jackson's estate. a judge will sort it out on monday. carla wohl, abc news, los angeles. >>> local 12-year-old is being called a hero tonight. meet the young man and hear why he already has a head start on achieving one of his goals. >>> plus, anyone dealing with arthritis knows how debilitating it can be. but one area hospital is trying to make life a little easier for those suffering. >>> yesterday i gave you a 2- degree g

if a dermatologist is prescribing heavy-duty painkillers, whether it be oxycontin or vicoden on a routine basis, why would a dermatologist be prescribing that? >> yeah. diprivan is one thing. no prescription. the only way you should be having that is if you're undergoing surgery in a hospital. the prescription meds, a different story. i want to hit on the other topic. michael jackson, his music since his death, over 9 million albums sold. we've talked a lot, there could be a lot of unreleased songs. tmz posted it on its website, the song called a place with no name. let's give it a listen. ♪ she says don't worry, my friend, i'll take care ♪ ♪ take my hand ♪ oh, a place without no name >> kind of sounds like a horse with no name. he asked america who recorded that song for permission years ago. how far back could these unreleased songs go, kim? >> they're saying they could go back to the '70s reportedly, back to his motown days. but they are saying there could be hundreds of songs. there's also, of course, the unreleased songs like the track recently he did with willi.am. some of the track

the lawyer will say no demerol, no oxycontin, but will not talk about propofol.e anna nicole smith situation, but will they be convicted and go to prison? if all this media attention of michael jackson's death actually changes law and makes it more of a crime for these doctors, then i think this media coverage may have been worth it. >> i look to jerry brown. now the burden is on maybe the future governor of the state of california. he has to step up. he indicted howard stern and the hours that were around anna nicole smith. he said these are no more than drug pushers. he has vowed to crack down on this. examples have to be made again in this michael jackson case. there is no doubt in my mind but that the star and the -- the star suckers around him, the bloodsuckers, who all look to get either the celebrity and/or rich reward for their complacency and their -- the fact that they were compliant and gave him access to the drugs it took to kill him, i think these people have to be held criminally responsible, and i also believe that the promoters and everyone else i

you know, if a dermatologist is prescribing heavy-duty pain killers, whether it be oxycontin or vicodin on a routine basis, why would a dermatologist be prescribing that? diprivan is one thing, those prescriptions only way you should have that is in a hospital. but if a doctor nose, shouldn't be doing it. another topic, michael jackson his music since his death, over million albums sold. and we've talked a lot, could be a lot of unreleased songs. here is one. tmz posted on its website, a song called "a place with no name." let's give it a listen. ♪ she said, don't you worry, my friend i'll take care take my hand i'll take us there ♪ ♪ oh ♪ take me to a place without no name ♪ >> it kind of sounds like a horse with no name and michael jackson asked the group america for permission years ago. kim sarafin, how far back could these songs go, kim? >> they're saying they could go back to the '70s, reportedly, back to his motown days. but they are saying there could be hundreds of songs. there is also, of course, the unreliu unreleased songs like recently with will. i am. and there has been en

smith, say my back hurts, get a prescription for demerol or oxycontin, and when he says this seems astrange, you move on to doctor jones. and they're trying to put controls in there so that can't happen, but that does happen. but also what happens is people are prescribed these drugs for legitimate reasons, don't take all of them, put them in their medicine cabinet and then their kids takes them, and then the drugs get traded. also the internet. there was a study done by the center of alcohol and substance substance abuse. they found that half of them would sell you them by faxing a prescription. >> yeah, no question. i imagine there are treatment programs, though, for prescribed drug abusers, if you will, just like alcohol and illegal drugs? >> there are. but they are expensive, there aren't as many of them as there should be, and it's also interesting. this is a good thing, is that prevention programs have moved on to start including messages about not overdosing on prescription drugs. it used to be the just say no things were all about elicit drugs. you can see here where the kid

in the early days after michael jackson's death when there was so much focus on demerol and oxycontineople didn't know about diprivan and an anesthesiologist had gone on tour with michael jackson the history tour. has he responded to other drugs? >> dr. murray's mystery, you are right. his attorney was specific about what he did not give him. he did not talk about diprivan. i'm sure that is what investigators want to know. latoya came out with claims that michael died in dr. murray's room not in his bedroom as earlier reported. there are unanswered questions with regard to dr. murray and we have not heard from him. >> jeff, it seems like a lot of people getting paid for interviews. i'm suspect of information that comes out of that. latoya getting paid by a british tabloid, joe jackson getting paid by abc news. i guess for access to video and oh, by the way, we are also going to do an interview with you but we are not paying for that. is everybody making money on this thing? >> everybody is making money. there is a long history of jackson legal situations being compromised by what is k

basic lit authorities didn't think to put on controlled substances like oxycontin because it's not andrug. he could get around the particular statute least referenced by saying it's not controlled substance. bill: what's the difference between this and anna nicole smith. >> because they were controlled substances. bill: he may skate. >> manslaughter. if you administer drugs in a way that's reckless disregard for life, you can still be charged with manslaughter. >> wait until we get the talks psychology report back. demerol could be part of this, demerol son the scheduled list of prohibitive drugs. bill: he says his lawyer says he didn't give. >> the lawyer says he didn't prescribe anything that should have caused the death of michael jackson. bill: i thought he mentioned demerol specifically. >> specific on that drug. >> even if he didn't prescribe it but he was there and part of it, how could you not know he? was living in the same house. bill: we are all in agreement that this doctor is in big trouble? this doctor is the focus. i believe jackson died of accidental overdose of narcot

the thing to remember this, you have all these drugs now that are being prescribed, the pills like oxycontin, available at high school campuses, i think we have to do something about the readily availability of these drugs. >> larry: and michael -- we're going to get to that. did michael have an addiction that you were aware of? >> michael at one time had an addiction. he went to england and withdrew that addiction in a secure setting where he went off drugs altogether. what i told michael when i met him in his present situation when i was seeing him, that i had to keep reducing the dosage of what he was on because he came to me with a huge tolerance level. when you take drugs repeatedly, unless you have something like your kidneys don't work, you may require some larger doses than normal. the other thing that you have to remember, when using certain drugs -- like we've been talking about diprivan. >> larry: did dr. klein father any of michael's children? that's next. you have questions. who can give you the financial advice you need? where will you find the stability and resources to keep y

we do know the attorney told cnn last week the doctor did not provide demoral or oxycontin to michael jackson. still, we have yet to get a comment about that. we asked again. pressed. again the lawyer would not comment. >> even if he admits he did administer diprivan, any doctor we talked to says it raises ethical questions. because, no doctor should be giving diprivan to a patient inside their home. how are authorities going to determine what doctor prescribed to michael jackson? he could have used aliases? a lot of different doctors. >> right. the false name is definitely a problem. there are a couple of ways they can do this. there is a state database used in the death of anna nicole smith. the attorney general will sort what they would do in that case, the attorney general is already doing that in this case. he will sort through the doctors' names, all in the database. it takes a look at what controlled medication they prescribed, when they prescribed them, the amount, who they prescribed them to and who received it. so they're going to look at that database. we know that billing
