This is information that my friend posted on the MJJC community. It has
a lot of info on this topic. She does not believe in the hoax at all, but some good info here. Read On:
In one of the first search warrants issued, within the affidavit, it is noted that on June 27th, Murray spoke with Detective Smith and Officer Martinez.
"Murray stated that he was Jackson's personal physician. Murray had been treating Jackson for insomnia for approximately the past six weeks. He had been giving Jackson 50 mg of PROPOFOL (DIPRIVAN), diluted with LIDOCAINE (XYLOCAINE) every night via intravenous (IV) drip to assist Jackson in sleeping."
Further in that same affidavit, it is stated that, "Murray told Officer Martinez that he was not the first doctor to introduce Jackson to PROPOFOL. Murray stated that Jackson was very familiar with the drug and referred to it as his "milk."
Then further down it states, "At one time Murray noticed and inquired about injection marks on Jackson's hands and feet. Jackson stated that Doctor Cherilyn Lee had been giving him a "cocktail" to help him. Murray believed the cocktail to be a PROPOFOL (DIPRIVAN) mix."
So that was stated by Murray to the detectives on June 27th, according to the affidavit. It also states that a search warrant was issued on June 29th for "the doctor's bag and supplies" at Jackson's home. There they recovered several bottles/vials of Propofol and the other meds we know about.
The affidavit further states that the LA County Coroner's investigator subpoenaed medical records from all the doctors noted to have treated MJ (Murray, Klein, Metzger, Adams, Tadrissi, Slavit, Rosen, and nurse practitioner, Cherilyn Lee). This happened on or after July 17th, according to the affidavit. It is noted that at the time of the warrant, "Dr. Lee and Dr. Metzger's medical records have not been received by the LA Country Coroner's Officer.
In the very next paragraph it states that "Detectives Smith and Myers interviewed Cherilyn Lee." It does not give the date there, but since it notes previously that Murray was interviewed on June 27th, when he mentioned his belief that Lee was giving MJ a "cocktail" of a propofol mix, I think it's safe to assume that Murray brought Lee's name into the investigation, her medical records were later subpoenaed, and she was subsequently interviewed by police.
On June 30, on AC360 on CNN:
Campbell: did you go to the authorities with any of this?
Cherilyn Lee: no
Campbell: did you think about doing that?
Cherilyn Lee: well, when I saw it on the news I kind of felt I knew what happened. And I just didn't really - I really didn't know what to do. I was saddened; I heard there was a physician there.
On RadarOnline, Lee says LAPD questioned her after she'd done an interview (I assume she's talking about one of her many TV appearances). You can see that here:

LoginShe implies that the LAPD now had information they didn't have before, once she had gone to the AP (Associated Press, which was her first official interview and it was on 6/30). So she's saying that she is the sole person to bring up propofol, and that's basically how the LAPD knew about it.
It seems to me though, in all of this information, that Murray first mentioned propofol in his interview with detectives on June 27, which means he was the first person to mention it. And it seems likely that someone had to have leaked that tidbit of info to her, giving her the heads up, which is when she started doing her interviews and such. This just says to me that she was trying to tell what she knew about propofol with MJ, to clarify that he asked her for it, but she did not give it to him. Why else would she bring it up? Especially since she admits in the AC360 interview that she did not go to the LAPD with that info. She says in the later interviews that she was fully cooperating with them and such, but she didn't voluntarily contact the LAPD, which is odd to me.
