And I think we should just... Jump right into... Kurt Cobain Part 2.
1, 2, 3, go. So I think when we last left you guys... We were talking about the crime scene...
We didn't give, like, super deets, but we were... We gave you the basics.
We were giving you the basics of what was going on, and we were kind of teasing you with, we're going to give you some details.
This week, we're getting into it. Yeah, you are going to get details, so hang tight.
Detail city. Now, I'm going to start off with the coroner.
Dr. Nicholas Hartshom is inaccurately labeled as a coroner in a lot of places, actually.
Because I keep seeing articles that are like, the coroner in this case, the coroner in this case, the coroner in this case. uh he wasn't a coroner so there's that um he's also uh dead now so r.i.p r.i.p to that He died in a crazy base jumping accident.
Accident? Accident. Because he was known as Dr. Death, not to be confused with the podcast.
But... He liked doing crazy, you know, he would skydive, base jump, do all that shit.
He was like an adrenaline junkie. We can't really talk to him anymore.
Bummer. Yeah. So, the thing with the coroner label that just kind of bugs me, because maybe it's because I work in, like, the death... industry I literally cannot I don't know what else to call it The death industry.
What do you do for work? I'm actually in the death industry.
I am. So I think it just bothers me when terms get like... Misconstrued.
Yeah, and like flipped around. So coroners tend to be elected officials who like consult with forensic pathologists on autopsies.
They don't have to be medical doctors. Okay.
Was he a doctor? He was. He was a doctor.
So from what I can tell, Seattle has a medical examiner, which are medical doctors. specializing in forensic pathology.
So they went through a specialized forensic pathology program to become medical examiners.
Got it. That's just a note. Other than this, Dr. Hartshom was the first medical professional to arrive at Kurt's death scene. and he did the autopsy.
But he was only employed at the time by the medical examiner's office, on a single year forensics fellowship and had not yet taken the accreditation examination to become a certified medical examiner.
That's fucked. Like, he was essentially an apprentice.
He was just... He was on his way and... I mean, hey, maybe he knew all his shit.
Right. I mean, he did become a medical examiner, so he...
He knew what he was doing. But at the time, he was only 30 years old.
Like, that's younger than me. That's crazy.
I gave you that look. You're like, wait, what?
But he was essentially just an apprentice medical examiner.
And when he shows up on one of the most insane death scenes ever like the most high profile fucking they should have never sent a fucking intern over there you know what I mean it's just crazy to me and since the Seattle PD had already labeled this a suicide from the jump Because they walked in there and were like, suicide.
And then they just, that's it. They were like, let's go to lunch.
It was probably going to be tough for this, like, little dude on the totem pole to disagree with these, you know... veteran police officers and homicide detectives that were like that were like this is a suicide right So, and especially, like I said, given the profile of this case as well, there was too much that he was... he was being influenced by also the lead detective on kurt's case was one of his closest friends and so was courtney love that's weird yeah And he dabbled in band promotion.
Interesting. He actually promoted shows from Nirvana at one point.
What? Yeah. Isn't that considered like a conflict of interest?
I just, I don't know. Like, I feel like that is a little weird i would think so for sure it's like if you get an autopsy of someone that you're like best friends with like right shouldn't you opt out of that i don't know definitely Well, they did opt out of it.
Yeah, that's true. Well, and there are some reports that say not only was he friends with Courtney Love... but he had a weird infatuation with Courtney Love.
Which I don't understand. It's fine. So if he had a weird infatuation with Courtney Love, or if he even had a stronger relationship with Courtney Love, that could point to him wanting to push this case in Courtney Love's... favor yeah just saying not saying he did and just saying he could money just saying he could Now, since the cops had already labeled this a suicide from the jump, like I said, obviously this was going to cloud all judgment when it came to actually investigating this case and scene. as anything other than a suicide.
In fact, according to Vernon J. Gebberth, a retired lieutenant commander of the NYC Police Department, This is kind of a proven phenomena.
Like, it happens. He wrote a standard textbook on crime scene protocol.
And in it, he cites dozens of examples of murders that were staged as suicides and went totally undetected. and under-investigated because of lazy police work.
Right. And this guy's a lieutenant commander, retired, like... he was a police officer he was like i know how this shit goes he's not being a dick and just being like yeah cops are lazy he was like i was a cop i was a lieutenant commander i know how these go this goes right is thing that happens so he said quote i have personally investigated many such cases and the truth of the matter is that initially the cases did look like suicides He said when they do that, everything goes to hell.
And he even admitted, quote, Without a doubt investigators take shortcuts when they hear the word suicide.
Oh man. So he's literally saying like these cops could have gone in there and just been like, all right, let's just let's snip some ends here.
Let's just get this done because obviously this guy just blew his head off.
Bye. Like we don't have to worry about it.
But if you actually looked into it, you would realize it's not even possible.
Which is what we're gonna do. What we're doing right now.
So let's move on to Tom Grant. My boy. I'm not going to go into super detail about Tom Grant.
I am. I'm going to leave that to Ash. You're welcome.
But I'm just going to give you a couple little things that were like, huh.
So Tom Grant is the private investigator that Courtney hired to, quote, find her husband.
Low-key the biggest mistake she ever made, other than killing Kurt Cobain.
And doing heroin while pregnant. Yeah, huge mistake.
That was a pretty big mistake. Big mistake.
Yeah. Huge. Huge. I love saying that. And this was after Kurt had, you know, escaped Exodus Rehab Center.
Right. When he went, quote, missing. And that's who she hired to try to, quote, find him.
Like he was. wasn't missing he just didn't want to talk he just went home but he was also a former detective in the la county sheriff's department So just to give his little background credentials, he's not just some crazy that's like, I'm a Pravada.
He actually is. And his record is... like the cleanest yeah like his record as a policeman yeah like he's he's no joke so grant already had doubts about courtney because when courtney pretended to be kurt's mom to call the missing persons report in alleging he was suicidal which was so fucked up he saw that as a diversion to make sure kurt was immediately painted as such in the media which is exactly what happened Literally.
Because obviously if his mom is calling and saying, my son is missing and I know he's suicidal.
And I know he has a shotgun. Yeah. You're going to believe mom when he says my son is suicidal.
And she knew that. But mom didn't say that.
So Grant already was like, uh, this is weird.
So at one point, Grant went on the Tom Lakers radio show and he flat out said... with no punches pulled that he thinks Courtney Love and Michael Callie DeWitt, which we talked about.
Yeah, and we mentioned him in the last episode.
He's the junkie live-in nanny who is also Courtney's ex.
Good. Super awesome person to pick as a nanny.
He was also definitely infatuated with her.
100%. He believed that Courtney and Callie DeWitt were involved in some way in the conspiracy to kill Kurt.
He didn't say they held the gun. He didn't say they pulled the trigger.
He just said they know something. I want to know.
And they're involved. now how did love respond to this i mean you would think he's saying this accusation she would go be pissed off yeah In response to it, she just offered him more work as like. more private investigation jobs which is like obviously you're trying it's hush money yeah and he literally said he was like this was hush money right because if she went nuts She knows I'm investigating.
I know what's like I have. I'm on the right trail. and so she doesn't want to piss me off because she wants to hold it's like you keep your enemies closer keep your friends closer she's unfortunately kind of smart You know what she is?
She's that diabolical, cunning, she's that kind of smart that can go really good.
Or go really bad. And you choose which way you're going to take it.
And she clearly took it one way. So let's move on to the gun now.
Because I did a lot of research about this gun, guys.
Yeah, she did. The gun was a Remington M11 20 gauge shotgun.
The shotgun wasn't examined by the Seattle PD until a full month After his death on May 6, 1994.
Which is insanely ridiculous. Like, what?
Which proves... That they went in there, went suicide, and threw that gun in evidence storage and were like, boom, not going to touch that again.
Right. Well, when they did finally get the fuck around to it, there was supposedly only smudged fingerprints that were completely unidentifiable.
Which, that doesn't make any sense. So it seemed like someone had attempted to wipe it clean, but...
How did that happen if Kurt had already shot the gun into his mouth?
So I have a theory. What is your theory?
What I think is Kurt was like levitating above like right after he killed himself and he was like, wait a second. whoa i gotta fuck this up a little bit yeah i gotta stir up the pot i'm gonna wipe that halfway only halfway just to throw people off That's what I think happened.
I think that's what happened. Or he did shoot himself in the mouth with the shotgun.
And then so that happened. Sure. But then he was like, oh, hold on.
I'm just going to wipe this gun down real quick.
And then he laid down and died. Oh, yeah.
I think that's it. That makes a lot of sense.
Especially, I think it was after he impaled himself because the shotgun was, like, way too long to fit.
Oh, yeah, because it wouldn't have even fit in his mouth anyways yeah so after he had impaled it through the back of his skull he was like whoa whoa whoa And he just pulled it out real quick and was like, wipe, wipe, wipe.
Then he died. Exactly. Yeah, that's what happened.
Except not at all. Makes a lot of sense.
No, it doesn't. And the thing is, there should have been at least one of Kurt's fingerprints on that gun.
At least one. It was his gun and they're telling me that he shot himself with it.
Where are his fingerprints? I have questions.
And it's not like he shot himself while being like, and like moving his hand all around the barrel.
That's fucked. that doesn't make any sense no it doesn't none of it does no well in the original police report They also said that there was evidence on Kurt's hands that proved he had discharged the weapon himself.
So to further prove this. Mm hmm. Like GSR, you know, CSI.
Yeah. Gun something residue. Right? Yeah, exactly.
It's gunshot residue. Yes. Wow, the fact that I couldn't figure out shot.
Gun something residue does make sense. Oh my god, it does.
Now, two full years after this police report came out, the Seattle PD admitted that This was actually just bullshit that was put in the report by a rookie cop on the scene.
Are you kidding? So they literally lied about it on the original police report to point this in suicide's directions.
That guy's a dick. So it's like if that doesn't make you question whether this was a sane investigation or not, I don't know what will.
It wasn't. I'm not saying that proves definitively.
I'm just saying that should make you go, hmm.
Things that make you go, hmm. And fingerprints on a gun will last.
So this just doesn't make, none of it makes any kind of sense.
The fact that there were no legible prints and only smudged prints on that gun heavily points in the direction of somebody wiping it down.
Murder. Now let's move over to the suicide note.
And I say suicide note with big giant air quotes. quote, quote, quote, suicide note.
Hashtag not a suicide note. Hashtag a suicide note forgery.
Exactly. It was bonkers. The last bit was completely different handwriting and had a completely different tone to it as well.
When I say different handwriting, I mean this literally look.
Like, you don't look at it and go, oh, that looks a little different at the end.
You're like, nope. uh maybe a 10 year old child wrote that last bit literally a four-year-old could look at this note and be like oh that's two different writings it's completely different writing And the tone shifts completely.
The rest of the note mentions Courtney how many times? none oh i was like a lot i thought you meant that no the first part of the note mentions courtney zero times And it's nothing about suicide.
It's all seemingly about quitting music or quitting Nirvana.
And it was confirmed that... And nirvana was breaking up at this time.
I'll get into that a little later. Exactly.
So basically what it said, the addition at the end that conveniently talked about Courtney and made it more of a suicide note said, quote, Francis and Courtney, I'll be at your altar.
Please keep going, Courtney, for Francis, for her life, which will be so much happier without me.
I love you. I love you. But guess what?
He didn't love her. He was about to fucking divorce her and he was trying to write her out of the will.
So not only does it look ridiculous because the handwriting is bonkers, but it also doesn't make any sense.
It's not like he's rambling this weird thing.
He's saying very coherent things. Well, excuse me.
He. The person who wrote that is saying very coherent things.
And because it's so sloppy looking, it almost looks like somebody who... doesn't know how to write like him and is trying to.
Just saying. Now, the couple's lawyer, so Kurt and Courtney's lawyer.
Rosemary Carroll. I was just going to say Ash knows the name.
Talk to Tom Grant herself. And she told him that Kurt was planning to divorce Courtney.
She knew that. She had discussed it with him.
She then urged Tom to investigate the death more.
She said the reasoning, and this is why I bring this up because it ties into the note.
So she admitted that she found samples of Courtney Love practicing someone else's handwriting and it was like found in her backpack.
Yeah. We'll post that sheet, too, because there's a picture of it.
It's I don't know how you explain it. Why would you ever be doing that?
And what it was was like there was. notes taken out of kurt's like right yes yes yes and that were clearly like had been traced oh yeah yeah you're right that was part of it and she would underline like certain letters when it like she'd do the letter over and over and the one that she'd underline most yeah right like how she wanted it to look she would underline it yeah like she was that's bizarre And what is weird is most of the letters that she was practicing are the letters that were used to spell out words in the end of the suicide note.
What a coincidence. So weird. Man. Weird.
So weird. If that wasn't enough, the lawyer also found a memo that Courtney had written to herself that said, get arrested.
And do you know what's actually funny? It's not funny at all.
But if you watch the documentary Kurt and Courtney, it's on Netflix right now.
Oh yeah. Courtney wrote memos for everything.
Oh yeah. Before she got famous she wrote like her ex-boyfriend I think is on the i didn't get super far into it but her ex-boyfriend is on it and he like has some old diaries and like notes and stuff of hers and one of them is like become best friends with um Michael State.
Michael State. Is that what it was? Yeah.
Which is actually hilarious because she did.
That's bonkers. And it was like, get famous, make friends with this person, do this.
And she did all of it. Man, she was like vision boarding.
Literally. Like early. She was note vision boarding.
She was vision boarding before Pinterest was vision boarding.
That's crazy. Well, it turns out that apparently she's really good at that vision boarding thing because she did get arrested.
And hospitalized. So she did it. She got arrested after calling Tom Grant to quote, find her missing husband when he escaped from rehab.
She was arrested for drug possession and having a doctor's prescription pad in her hotel room.
And wouldn't you know, that's the perfect alibi.
That's so weird. To be like, I didn't kill him.
I was in jail. Ask these cops. Do you think she said it just like that?
I was in jail. I was in jail. how dare you ask these fine policemen ask these fine men of the law I think it sounded more like this I was arrested.
I was in jail. I was in jail. I was in a policeman.
I was... How's that guy over there? He's right there.
He has a bag. That was verbatim what happened.
That's actually Courtney Love is with us tonight.
Now, back to the gun, because I couldn't get past this gun, guys.
I just could not. This part, everybody just sit down, okay?
Yes. This part's fucking wild. Sit tight, because I want someone explaining this to me, how this goes any other way but murder.
Hold on to your- butts hold on to those butts so the shotgun itself makes it really tough to imagine suicide This particular gun is a long gun.
From what I could find, the barrel is about 28 inches long, and the full gun is about 50 inches long altogether.
That's fucking long. Yeah. Kurt was 5'9".
This makes him 69 inches long. That means that the gun is over 70% of his full height.
How the hell could he have sat down as the medical examiner's notes say, put the butt of the gun between his sneaker-clad feet? placed the end of the barrel into his mouth and pulled the trigger with his thumb.
He couldn't. He couldn't. You know why?
The end of the fucking barrel would be well over his head in that position.
So he would have to literally like impale his own head with the fucking shotgun.
Which didn't happen. Which wouldn't make any sense anyways because then you'd shoot it out and it would just go boom.
You know, once you impale yourself with it.
Standing also doesn't make sense because a lot of people were like, okay, maybe they had that wrong.
Maybe... he was standing with the gun and he stood over the gun shot himself and he fell backwards into that position but guess what you're wrong if you think that and you know what it's like okay I see your point, sir.
I get it. I mean, we're devil's advocating.
I get it. Didn't happen, though. But you know what?
There's newly released crime scene photos that make that...
Impossible. These newly released crime scene photos show his feet and the areas around his feet.
There's absolutely no blood anywhere in any of these photos.
If he was standing and shot himself in the mouth with the shotgun, Blood would have been pouring out of his face onto the floor by all over his feet.
Because gravity. Gravity. I mean, that shit would have been all over his sneakers.
It would have been splattering everywhere.
His sneakers are clean. There's not a drop of blood on them.
Nope. So it doesn't make sense. No sense.
And if you've, I mean, think about it. When you get a head injury or like a mouth injury, nose, anything in your skull area.
Believe. You bleed so much from your head.
I mean, that's just fact. Shooting yourself in the mouth with a shotgun is going to produce... a river of blood to come out of every orifice in your face.
Certainly. So it just doesn't make sense.
Nope. Now, the spent casing from the shotgun is questioned a lot as well.
And there's good reason for that. When Kurt supposedly shot himself with this particular gun, the shell casing would have flown out to his right because...
That's where the opening was for the shell to go into.
So they eject out that way. For the shell casing to land where it actually did, which was on Kurt's left side, the gun would have had to have been turned 180 degrees.
Meaning in someone else's hands. Duh. Now the police tried to explain this away, shockingly, by saying that the recoil of the shotgun was just so intense that it just flipped the gun in the opposite direction, so... the spent casing makes sense now okay okay okay sure all right no except this is wrong wrong again Because Cobain had deliberately purchased a low-power 20-gauge shotgun because he didn't want to just go out and kill people or anything.
He wanted to deter people from coming into his home.
Right. So his main thing was he was like, I just want to scare people with this gun.
And I want to just, you know, wave it around at intruders.
Like I don't want to actually shoot someone.
Right. The shotgun was known to have a very low recoil and was actually so underpowered that even though it had gone off in Kurt's mouth...
The shot didn't exit his head. Which is wild.
That's how low powered this was. So it's like that would not have a kickback or a recoil that would flip the gun in a totally different direction in his hand.
Right. Now, moving on from the gun, let's talk about the heroin.
So even if he had somehow shapeshifted to get that gun into his mouth...
And then somehow shot himself in the mouth with the shotgun while standing over it or laying down doing something crazy.
If magic occurred in that greenhouse that day and he and he somehow produced absolutely no blood while standing over a gun and shooting himself in the face.
There's still an issue here. There was something like three times the lethal limit of heroin slash Valium, like a cocktail in Kurt's body.
Now, I'm just going to give a little caveat to that.
Take it with a little bit of a grain of salt because that number is not 100% confirmed.
Because the autopsy report has never been fully released.
So from what I've gathered, that is what he had in his system.
Three times the lethal amount. That's what is reported everywhere.
It was reported in the original reports.
So that's what everybody's going off of.
Report. Now, this should have incapacitated him pretty quickly.
Mm-hmm. A Canadian chemist named Roger Lewis gathered together dozens of toxicology studies regarding drug overdoses to try and find comparable cases. at one point, because people have been trying to do this everywhere.
People are trying to figure out how the hell this dude with that much heroin in his system was able to do anything.
Never mind all that he supposedly did. Yeah.
So of the 1,526 heroin deaths that this guy looked at, Only 26 had drug levels as high as Kurt and all of them. either died instantly or were immediately incapacitated And all of those ones were found with the syringes still in their bodies because they didn't even have time to remove the syringe.
That's how quickly... They were incapacitated.
They couldn't even take the syringe out.
They just done so what like what so this guy there is not one case out there that makes sense that that would show you that this can happen Right.
Which I'm going to get in all he supposedly did after he injected himself.
Yeah. But in 2014, the Seattle police confirmed that Cobain had indeed taken a huge lethal overdose.
But they were saying, because of course they have an answer for everything here, they argued that his tolerance levels were just so high false this doesn't make any fucking sense Because looking at that other study, this would literally make Kurt a marvel of medicine.
Like he would be a super human that we have never encountered. in any medical study ever.
Which he was a superhuman that we've never encountered.
But I don't think he's a medical marvel.
No, he's not. One thing Kurt Cobain is not is a medical marvel.
I can say that with 100% certainty. So that doesn't make sense.
But we're going to stay on the heroin for one more minute here.
Because let's get super science-y about heroin for a moment.
Yay! Yeah? Yeah, everybody? Remember last week when I was like, isn't heroin cheap?
Or no, I said, isn't it expensive? Somebody was like, no.
No. And we were like, we know things. And I was like, drugs.
Drugs. We know them. I did dare. Well... at the molecular level yes we're going to the molecular level what does that even mean Heroin has three active metabolites.
Morphine, a compound called 3-diacetylamorphine, which we're going to call 3-MAM.
Three ma'am. And six monoacetylmorphine.
We're going to call that mom? Six ma'am.
Oh. Six ma'am has been touted as being the initial cause of the feelings that users get upon injecting heroin.
Heroin metabolizes into 6-mam very quickly upon entering somebody's system.
And it is this metabolite, 6-mam, that actually crosses the blood-brain barrier and actually heroin in its full capacity really only enters the blood-brain barrier in small amounts.
Got it. So it's this metabolite, this 6-mam.
In fact, what a study by Jorg Morland... who is a researcher from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and a professor found that when they studied the breakdown of heroin in the human body, They said after 30 minutes, 6-mem was the predominant substance in the blood and the brain of the heroin user.
Now what this substance does is it creates a really sharp increase in the molecule dopamine in the brain.
And that's why heroin users... feels so fucking good for a period of time like that's what they all talk about that like euphoric dopamine will do that for you that's what six ma'am does After about an hour, the sixth man converts into morphine, and this will stay around for hours.
Morphine is no fucking joke. This shit would have definitely caused some kind of incapacitation regardless of how much heroin.
Kurt had used in the past. One time I had to be on morphine.
Hey, there you go. All right, Kurt. I was like, never give me that shit again.
Don't do it. Now, instead of falling into a coma or just passing the fuck out, somehow Kurt had the wherewithal and the ability to roll down his sleeves after injecting heroin with all we know now, put his drug paraphernalia way in the cigar box found next to him, neatly lay two towels on the floor anticipating where his head would land that's interesting and then lie down fiddle with the positioning of the shotgun between his legs, and then pull the trigger effectively.
That was already way too past his head. Way too past his head.
And then there's just the weirdness of that decision, like, in general.
Because heroin users... don't kill themselves with guns.
So Dr. Vincent DeMaio, one of America's like most known and most senior forensic pathologists, like shout out to Vincent DeMaio.
I'm actually pretty sure he's- He's on soaked in bleach, but I could be wrong.
There you go. He probably is. Oh, I know Dr. Cyril Wecht, I think his name is.
Okay, okay. I might be saying his name wrong and I apologize.
Dr. Searle is the former president of the American Academy of Forensic Science.
He studied the Kurt Cobain case for 20 years.
They have both said, and I quote, no study I know of has correlated the use of heroin with suicide.
In fact, de Mayo said, quote, I cannot think of a case where I've had someone inject himself with a huge amount of heroin. and then proceed to kill himself.
It just doesn't make any sense. Why would he shoot himself before the drug had had chance to even take effect?
So basically, if he managed to stay conscious after being a fucking medical marvel, why would he choose that moment of the greatest high of his life? to kill himself he wouldn't because he didn't kill himself the whole point of heroin is apparently that you feel this like euphoria that that's why people keep going back they just keep chasing that feeling right he didn't sit around for hours after injecting himself and then get to that like shit stage of heroin He supposedly did this immediately after injecting it, where he was feeling the best.
He was feeling the best. That's not when you kill yourself is when you're feeling the best.
I will go out on a limb and say that. I just feel like you don't do it when you're feeling the greatest high of your life.
Context clues. Right? Yes. So reports also said that he barricaded himself into the locked greenhouse.
So how is anyone else in there with him and able to lock the door behind them?
Well, it was a push button lock, but they didn't mention that.
They just said he barricaded himself in there.
No one could have. Which is untrue. Yeah, people said he was barricaded in so no one could have been in there and actually left and then locked it because it just doesn't make sense.
But again, it was a push button lock. You know, the kind you can fucking push and then close the door behind you as you leave.
Next. That means nothing. No. I'm just going to point out two other weird things that I'm sure Ash can probably give us answers for and we'll touch upon.
Michael Callie DeWitt was in the home when Cobain went missing.
Interesting. Interesting. And someone used Cobain's credit card while he was already dead. yeah that's interesting he used the credit card to purchase the plane ticket after busting out of exodus And then it was used all the way until his body was discovered.
And they've never been able to find what that was.
Because Courtney claimed to have shut off his credit cards.
I actually don't have any explanation for that.
I don't think anybody does. I looked up one, but there is none.
I know. I shouldn't have said you would know that.
I was like, I don't know. Because in reality, I've read, like, no one knows that.
And I'm like, Ash will know. Ash is a marvel.
Ash is the only one who has this information.
Breaking news. So there are a few things that I'll get a little more like. you touched upon but i will get further into awesome but first i just want to say by all accounts courtney was a super domineering controlling woman i'm shocked From the start, literally the only thing she wanted to do was be famous.
Like, she wanted to be famous. She wanted to have money.
Mm-hmm. But she felt like she needed to be connected to a man to get as famous as she was.
I mean, society, I get it. For sure. But like, girl.
Well, also people thought that Kourtney was going to be more famous than Kourt.
Yeah. Which I can't wrap my brain around.
Which she did too. I think they both believe that.
She was wrong. She was very wrong. She was wrong because Kurt's the best spy.
She's just infamous now. It just wasn't the case, exactly.
It wasn't the case that she was more famous.
No. So Rosemary Carroll, who we briefly touched upon earlier... was Kurt and Courtney's lawyer.
And like we mentioned last week, Kurt had asked her to remove Courtney from his will.
Rosemary Carroll also told Tom Grant, that Courtney had told her to find and hire the meanest, most vicious divorce lawyer that she could find.
That sounds wholesome. Yeah. She was in love with Kurt.
Yeah. They were going to like totally rock it out till the end.
They were just going to rock until the end.
Motive. Next. Tom Grant felt from day one that he this like from day one that he was hired that Courtney Love was lying to him the entire time he dealt with her.
He was like, yeah. i'm gonna document the fuck out of this because i know she's lying which is so smart it shows how smart he is he was like i'm gonna make sure this is on tape And it all is.
And you guys should all. I know I've mentioned the Kurt and Courtney documentary.
It's like Kurt and Courtney on Netflix. But you should watch the HBO documentary Soaked in Bleach because it's fucking awesome.
Yeah, that's a great one. And there's like a ton of tapes of Courtney that if you're not sold by our podcast, you should definitely be sold when you hear them.
When you hear her actual voice saying these things.
And Tom Grant has a website where he has a lot of the recordings too.
I can't remember the website right now, but I'll post it when we post the photos for this episode.
Right. So she contacted... Tom Grant on the basis that Kurt had escaped rehab and he was suicidal and she knew that he had a shotgun.
But her first thought was to cancel his credit cards.
Huh. That was the first thing she's told Tom that she did.
She said he's suicidal. I know he has a shotgun and I canceled his credit card.
Why would you cancel his credit? Like, that doesn't make any sense.
I can tell you. If my husband went missing, the first thing I would do would definitely not be thinking about his credit cards at all.
Because if you think he's suicidal, you think he's going to kill himself.
So why are you worried that he's going to spend any money because he's probably not because he probably is going to kill himself.
Exactly. And if you were actually worried that he was like missing, missing, you would want him to have a method of getting un-missing.
So it's like maybe let him keep those credit cards.
I don't know. So that happened. Seems odd.
She was super, super pushy about the fact that he was suicidal.
She made sure anyone who listened knew that Kurt was suicidal.
But only after he died, right? Like people said she never mentioned it until he died.
Until he died or in the whole time that Tom Grant was looking.
Yeah. Like until he was missing. Excuse me.
Yeah. She also brought up the topic of divorce pretty much every single time she spoke with Tom Grant.
Normal. She knew that he said she knew Kurt was leaving her.
And then she started talking about custody battles and how Kurt wouldn't stand a chance against her.
Aw. Which actually isn't true because remember that time when she did heroin while pregnant?
Oh, yeah, that time. Yeah. Courtney also brought up the idea that Kurt was having an affair with her bass player, actually.
Whoa. Or his drug dealer named Caitlin. I couldn't find out who Caitlin was.
Just Caitlin. Caitlin. But she knew his every single move. and she was super jealous and she mentioned this to tom grant he's like what the fuck does it have to do with me He's like, what?
She was pissed when he pulled out of Lollapalooza saying that she had first been offered the gig and she gave it all up so that he could have it.
She felt like Nirvana should have it. Like, none of this is pertinent to the current situation.
No, not at all. She then told Tom Grant that she planted a story in the press. saying that she was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown and wanted his advice whether to confirm it or not when the press contacted her for comment.
What? Which is interesting because she also wrote that memo of get arrested.
Ah. But she already in the back of her mind was like, I'm going to plant this story in the press.
So she had... multiple alibis whoa multiple alibis that I didn't even know yep she felt that one it would make fans feel sympathy for her And two, sell records because she had one coming out in about a week.
How shitty of a person do you have to be to be like, I want to manipulate the entire world into feeling bad for me?
Yes. Like, fuck off. Go fuck yourself. Personally, I think she wanted to manipulate fans into thinking that she was such a mess over Kurt being missing.
Yep. Again, planting the idea in everyone's mind that he was suicidal.
Yep. And like I said, it gave her an alibi for when he was found dead.
So then we get to the missing persons report, which we quickly mentioned.
I guess I can just reiterate to you. Which, again, just plants the idea. that he was suicidal in the minds of his fans.
It's just reiterating and reiterating. And she put it, she literally lied on a police report.
Like, you should be arrested for that anyways.
Yeah, that's It's totally fine. She signed it.
His mom's name, Wendy O'Connell. I don't remember.
Wendy. Oh, cool. Yeah, like, you lied. That's cool.
That's fraudulent, but it's okay, right?
Yeah. Yeah. So... she's giving Tom Grant all this information about like where he could be and blah, blah, blah.
And he's like, yeah, I feel like it would be a good idea for me to put surveillance on the Seattle house.
And she insisted that he wouldn't be there.
No, Callie's there. Callie's looking out.
Because the entire time that Kurt was supposedly missing...
Callie was staying at the Seattle house.
Huh. waiting for a sign of Kurt. Just waiting.
Yeah, just waiting. Just waiting. She told Tom he wouldn't be there and that he liked to hang out in fancy hotels.
And he used the name Simon Ritchie or Bill Bailey to check in.
Did you know what Bill Bailey is from, by the way?
No, I didn't. As a quick side note. I guess that's the name that is that it's either Axl Rose's real name.
Oh, really? Or it's the name he uses. And they used to have like some weird feud.
I guess. Oh. So he would use that name just to be a dick.
That's amazing. I fucking love Kurt Cobain so much.
That is funny. So she said that he would say that checking under those names.
So Tom called like all these fancy ass hotels in the Seattle area and didn't find anything.
Because didn't he not even like... No. His friend Dylan Carlson, who Tom was, like, he was helping, quote unquote, Tom. oh yeah and Dylan's the guy who bought him the shotgun yeah okay yes which I'm gonna get into Dylan later because I have my theories oh good When he talked to Dylan, Dylan was like, no, we fucking hate fancy hotels like Kurt.
That is everything Kurt hates. I was gonna say, it's not, like, totally against what he stands for.
So he... showed him, like, all the motels that they would stay at.
Not hotels. No. Motels. Holiday Inn at the hotel.
Anyways. And they were on the Aurora Strip, which is like, I guess, not a nice area of Seattle.
So then Tom started to call those motels and he did. find one bill bailey staying at a motel oh but it was a dead end it never worked out So when Tom went back to Courtney and was like, yeah, none of these leads are working out.
He's not in any motels. I really think that we should put surveillance on the Seattle house.
She again said it was a waste of time. Callie was there and he was going to let her know if somebody showed up.
And she also... So... At first, she told Tom that Callie was the best liar she had ever met.
So he was like, why would you then... trust him to tell you like why would you leave him in charge of telling you when kirk showed up exactly also why would you ever leave him in charge of your child that's the thing that's killing me is like this literal like drug addict who you can't who you just said is like one of the greatest liars you've ever met you're leaving with your baby with your like like what yeah exactly so finally tom was like yeah courtney like fuck you i think it's really time to bring the seattle investigation to seattle So it was like around April 6th.
And that's when Courtney told him to talk to Dylan Carlson.
Dylan insisted that Kurt was in no way suicidal.
And he then called Tom Grant. Dylan called Tom Grant and said that Courtney had called him saying she was in the hospital. and had been arrested, but that she was okay, and they should go to the house to check in this, like, hidden compartment for the shotgun, because that's where it would be.
So this is when she got arrested. This is all rolling out so perfectly.
Yeah. So when they got there to the Seattle house.
Dylan didn't point. It was like really dark and rainy.
So Tom didn't notice the greenhouse. Because the greenhouse wasn't like a greenhouse.
It was literally like a broom closet on the top of... the garage yeah it was just like it looked like a green and you wouldn't notice it if you didn't know it was there yeah it probably just looked like part of the garage yeah and especially if it's dark Right.
And it was dark when they went. So he didn't notice the greenhouse and Dylan didn't say anything about the greenhouse the night they went there.
So when they got there, on the stairs, they found a note that was... written by Callie.
It was from Callie to Kurt saying, Kurt, I can't believe you got into this house without me noticing.
You're an asshole for doing this to Courtney. call her and tell her you're okay and it was like that said like a little bit more but it was like very like insincere and like it's very staged it was very staged and they found it on the stairs Yeah.
So it was like, Kurt got into the house.
So it literally set it up for Kurt to walk into the house.
Callie wasn't there. He had left. I didn't even know.
And I'm saying it here so everyone knows I didn't even know you came into the house.
Exactly. Wow. That's like really heavy handed.
Yeah, it's insane. So. Tom and Rosemary Carroll, who was the lawyer, like we've mentioned, thought the note was super weird and Rosemary Carroll said... it was like Callie already knew that Kurt was dead when he wrote it.
Yep, 100%. Meaning the note was there to prove an alibi that Kurt had been there, one.
And two, to throw Tom Grant off, because if Kurt was there and he wasn't anymore...
Where was he? Yeah, then you're going to leave.
Also, they had been to the house the night before.
And the note wasn't there the night before.
Ah. So it had been there like that morning.
Yeah. Or something. And they checked the secret compartment that Courtney had mentioned. it wasn't there of course not because kurt was laying dead in the green room as they were there unfortunately oh that's awful yeah it's horrific that really is awful you search the whole house but you don't search like he knew about the yeah like he knew that existed right if you were searching the whole house for your friend who's missing you're gonna search the whole house exactly So the next morning, Kurt's body was found in that exact house in the green room or the greenhouse, whatever they call it.
Which was a little room, like I said, above the garage that no one had even told Grant to look into.
And, I mean, it was Courtney's fucking house.
She knew. Yeah. They all knew that room was there.
And if you're that alarmed and you can't find your husband, you're going to check every single inch of that house.
Oh, yeah. And you're going to tell your... private investigator to check every inch yes i don't care like check the closet check behind shades I'd literally be like, check under lampshades for him.
He could be under the couch. He could be under there.
Like, find him. Yeah. So... So Tom Grant was there like he rushed over the morning that he found out that Kurt was dead. and he like pushed through everybody and went to talk to the police and he told the police on the scene that he had been hired by courtney love to track down kurt And that he had been in the house the previous night and was told that no one had time to talk to him and to call the station later.
What? and he literally said he was like if he was a police officer he was like if i was in charge of that investigation And a man came to me and said, I was in the house that night.
I would handcuff him and like... Of course you would.
Not let him get away at all. He's admitting he was at the scene.
Right. You're at the scene of the crime.
And I don't have time to talk to you. That they weren't looking at it as a crime.
No. So... I don't have time to talk to you, important eyewitness. was on the scene like and so he went to the station later but they wouldn't listen to anything he had to say oh my god like everything he said they had an answer for wow And if the police were actually treating this like a homicide investigation, which they weren't the second they walked in there, they treated it like a suicide, they would have wanted to speak to somebody who was in the house.
Of course. of course they would have and they also just recently developed photographs from the scene before that a lot of the photographs from the scene were not developed So they were just taken as like, oh, well, we're here.
We have the camera. And when they were questioned about it, they said that they didn't develop photographs from suicide scenes.
And that's not true. Which is literally not true and also not standard protocol.
No. No matter what you develop the photos.
Yeah, it's evidence. And they also ruled it to be a suicide.
I don't know if we mentioned this before, but they ruled it to be a suicide before ever getting the forensic of fingerprints or toxic... toxicology reports or anything that's crazy to me they ruled they ruled the death the next yeah the next day next day They said they did the autopsy that day, but you're right, he didn't wait for talk screens.
Nothing. They didn't wait for anything. And that is...
Not standard. They didn't swipe the house for prints.
They didn't do anything. No. And Courtney told the media that Kurt had written a suicide note to her before that said in part, quote, I can't live like this anymore.
It's not fun for me. But that's not in the original note, and a note saying that has never been released.
And to me, that sounds like I don't want to be married to you anymore.
Yeah, if you did write that, I'd be like, this marriage is shit.
Yeah. And she actually in the beginning of Soaked in Bleach or at some point in Soaked in Bleach, excuse me.
She references the note to Tom and she's like, yeah, it was underneath my pillowcase.
Like... I think she said it was a note from Rome when like his quote unquote first suicide attempt.
The one that doctors agreed was not a suicide attempt. what's funny about that so she said she was like it was under my pillows in the seattle house And Tom was like, that's interesting because I checked your pillows.
I checked underneath the pillows. I checked underneath the mattress.
I checked everywhere in your room. And it wasn't there.
And she had no explanation. Of course. She was like, no, it was.
And he's like, no. She was like, Tom, it was.
It was in a white manila envelope. And he was like, yeah, I want to believe you, Courtney, but I don't.
But like my two eyeballs... Didn't see it.
Say no. It's not a thing. Yeah. So like we mentioned before...
Rosemary Carroll was actually working pretty closely with Tom, with Tom Grant.
And then all of a sudden, after she gave him the backpack that had the handwriting samples, she wasn't interested in talking to him anymore. and there's a phone conversation where they're in the middle of talking about that and she goes Tom is this being recorded and he said yeah I record all my calls and And she all of a sudden shuts up and won't talk about it anymore.
Oh my god. And then Courtney calls him and she's like, or so he starts to send Rosemary Carol all these letters like, You know, like, I know you know more than you're saying.
And, like, there's all these, like, copycat suicide smell of fans.
Oh, yeah. And, like, you have, you could stop this if you would prove that this wasn't a suicide.
And she wouldn't answer him at all. She wouldn't respond. oh rosemary and then courtney called tom and was like you're really scaring rosemary also i paid her off so stop yeah exactly And so the other thing about the suicide note is a few like analysts have looked at it.
And first of all, the entire beginning part is just about his music.
Yeah. It's just, like, Nirvana was breaking up at the time.
Yeah, because Dave Grohl confirmed it. Dave Grohl confirmed it.
Yeah, on the Howard Stern show, I think.
Yeah. He said at the time we were breaking up, it was happening.
The entire, it's literally like. over two paragraphs that are just talking about the music.
Yep. And then the end is the only time he mentions anything about family.
Anything about Courtney, anything about Frances.
And anything that even resembles a suicidal thought.
A suicide note. Because the entire thing is not... The whole beginning of the note is not a suicidal note.
And the handwriting analysts and the... just note analysts in general.
That's not a thing, but whatever. You know note analysts?
Yeah. They analyze notes. Like this one lady was like, It was so stereotypical.
It's what you would think a suicide note would be.
Which is never the case. Like. I, my family, like, I'm leaving.
I'll see you someday again. Yeah, exactly.
Kurt wouldn't have fucking written it like that anyways.
And wasn't there like a part in the first part where he says like my nauseous stomach?
Yeah, he talks about his stomach. But his stomach pain was over at that point.
He did an interview that said, like, I ate a whole pizza the other night and I've never been able to do that.
I feel great. yeah and they were like people around him were like he never felt better yeah because he got the medicine that he needed to be treated so that doesn't even make sense yeah it doesn't make any sense at all And just a quick and interesting theory is that some people believe Eldon Alduchay Hoke had something to do with or some more knowledge about the death of Kurt Cobain.
And he said... He said that Courtney Love offered him $50,000 to kill Cobain.
And she said, like, my old man's pissing me off.
Blow his head off. Oh. Which is nice. You know, couple shit.
Yeah, totally. And after an interview that he gave on April 19, 1997, where he spilled... this information and also implicated someone named Alan.
He was hit by a train days later while lying drunk on the tracks.
I'm sorry, but... Days after he gave the interview, he was found dead on the train tracks.
Because he apparently got drunk and laid down on them.
Which... He was a pretty reckless dude.
But that's real reckless. But that's like cray cray.
And. Again, the coincidences. Yeah, that's just bananas.
No one person has this many coincidences surrounding them at one time.
No. I'm sorry you just don't. Like, Courtney Love is not just this special unicorn that happens to have the worst coincidences around her.
Courtney Love's own dad thinks she knows more than she says.
Yeah, that's true. He wrote a book about it.
I'm dead serious. Damn. But in my opinion, Courtney knew that Kurt was leaving her.
She knew she wasn't going to get nearly as much as she wanted because of their prenup agreement.
Yep. Because again, she thought she was going to be the more famous one.
So she asked for that prenup. Yeah. Which is so fucking funny.
And then regretted it because he was making all that money.
And she wasn't going to see any of it. Exactly.
And because she's a selfish, arrogant, controlling piece of shit...
She had Kurt murdered. She had him murdered.
She had Kurt murdered. knowing that she could make it look like a suicide based on the misconstrued lyrics and statements that Kurt had made in the past.
And she didn't even need the money, but she just wanted it and Courtney got what she wanted.
Yeah. Like, she didn't need that money at all.
No. It was just a matter of her being an arrogant piece of shit.
I mean, she's... She's a musician herself.
Right. She has a band whole. And now she has...
All of the royalties to Kurt's songs. That's the big thing.
All of the estate money. Like, everything.
And I'm sure she got, like, wrongful death.
I don't even know. But it's the songs thing that I'm like, that is, like... the hardest pill to swallow that she has control of all their music.
Especially when they're surviving members of the band, you know what I mean?
And they don't have that control. When he literally called his lawyer and said, can you write her out of my will?
And he just didn't have time to sign it before it happened.
And she probably fucking got word that he was gonna write her out of the will and was like, oh really?
I'm gonna write you out of life. She didn't pull the trigger, I bet.
No, I don't. Maybe she did. I don't know.
Personally, I don't believe she was there.
I don't think she pulled the trigger. But I think she paid solid money to somebody that did.
And honestly, she made damn sure that she has alibis that say she wasn't there to pull the trigger.
So I can say definitely she wasn't there.
But... I know she knows what happened. She set it up.
And I know she has way more hands in this whole thing.
She set it up. But if after all we've presented you, you think something different, we want to hear it because we're totally open to it.
We'll listen to it. We might not agree with you.
I'm sort of open to it. I'm moderately close to it.
I'll listen to it. I'll read it. She's, like, listen, Courtney's gonna write a fucking book just like OJ did.
If I did it. If I did it. Like, maybe Courtney wrote that for him.
Who knows? Maybe someday we will get... The full story.
So maybe some deathbed someday is going to be very lucrative in this.
So yeah, again, we're joking when we say we don't want to hear your theories.
Yeah, we're kidding. If you guys have any more theories.
By all means, throw them our way. Let us know.
We all want to discuss it. That's what it's for.
That's what the Facebook group is for, too.
So discuss it. Let us know. We hope you dug Kurt Cobain Part 2.
We bet you did. We think you did. So we would like to thank this week's Patreons.

The town of Agde in France is famous for sun, sand, sea and sex.
But lately, life on the coast has taken a strange turn.
The town's mayor, a respected pillar of the community, has been arrested for corruption.
His wife claims he's been bewitched by a beautiful clairvoyant.
Then there's the mysterious phone calls that local people have been getting.
I am the Archangel Michael. The whole town has been thrown into chaos.
