Michael Jackson's Doctor Has NW Houston Ties

Houston police knocked on the door of the sister of Dr. Conrad Robert Murray Thursday in Southwest Houston.

Dr. Murray is a cardiologist from Houston with ties to Michael Jackson's death investigation. Murray runs the Home Heart and Vascular Institute in Northwest Houston as well as a clinic in Las Vegas.

Recently, Dr. Murray is said to have been a personal physician to Michael Jackson. The Cardiologist is believed to have been at Jackson's side when 9-1-1 was called to his Los Angeles area home.

Wednesday night, investigators in Los Angeles retrieved a car with Texas plates from Jackson's home.

The plates are registered to a Houston woman, Dr. Murray's sister.

The woman did not appear to be at home when Houston Police arrived.

Police are not considering Dr. Murray a suspect in Jackson's death. They are interested in speaking with the Cardiologist about Jackson's final hours.

LCS to hold open house on new facility on June 25th

The foyer of one of the buildings at the new LSCS facility is decorated.

Lone Star College System officials are inviting the community to an open house on June 25 at its new facility on State Highway 249 at Louetta Road.

The site, once home to Hewlett Packard's north campus and the former Compaq Computer headquarters, has been a mystery to most northwest Houston residents - a massive, beautiful complex with mirrored buildings, that could be seen tucked away neatly on SH 249 behind security gates at every entrance.

But now, since the purchase by Lone Star College System, college officials want to open the facility to the public by having perhaps a first-ever community open house.

The open-house event is set for Thursday, June 25, from 4 to 7 p.m. and all residents are invited to come by and visit the facility.

"This will be a family type event," said Ray Laughter, vice chancellor for external affairs. Hot dogs and other light refreshments will be served at the campus as part of the open-house celebration.

The open house will include tours of the facility and information booths will be featured about various aspects of the college system, like Lone Star Corporate College and its workforce programs, along with the Lone Star College-University Center.

"There may be those who even live nearby this facility who have never had the opportunity to see what it looks like past those security gates," Laughter said. "The tours on June 25 by our staff members will actually guide you through the buildings for a look."

The facility changed hands on May 7 when LSCS announced that it had purchased the core of the Hewlett Packard north campus on SH 249 at Louetta Road - 45 acres for a purchase price of $42.15 million.
