MORE MURDERS? COPYCAT SUICIDES & MORE
On June 4th 1994, narcotics Detective Antonio Terry was murdered. According to Grant, he is the first Seattle police officer to be murdered in the line of duty in nine years. Grant has read the news reports, and it doesn't appear that Terry's murder is connected with the Cobain case. However, being a private investigator (and a damn good one at that), he'd like to know more. If you recall, Antonio Terry was the officer Courtney was in contact with from L.A. while Kurt was missing, the officer she called from Grant's car on the trip to the Carnation property, and the officer she admits on tape Audio Clip dealing with to try and get people she didn't like, such as Caitlin Moore, busted. Obviously their relationship was a bit more than Courtney just being a good citizen trying to rid the neighborhood of drug dealers. With her own drug related problems in the media on a regular basis at the time, Detective Terry had to have known he wasn't dealing with someone that had a squeaky clean record.

Kristen PfaffA couple weeks later on June 15th 1994, Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff is found dead of an alleged drug overdose. Her body was found in the bathtub of her Seattle apartment.

Grant says he's very suspicious of the circumstances of Kristen's death. Simply because of the similarities between her death and Kurt's. Kurt was apparently leaving Seattle and Courtney when he ended up dead. Kristen was also leaving Seattle and Courtney when she ended up dead. Both with heroin overdoses in their system and "barricaded" in rooms. Kurt in the greenhouse; Kristen in the bathroom of her apartment. Kristen had a U-Haul trailor packed and loaded, and was leaving the next morning. Sadly, she never got out of Seattle alive.

During an interview with the media, Courtney said she had to "drag Eric away from Kristen's body". So Courtney was in Seattle at the time of Kristen's death.

Please read the Kristen Pfaff section by Frances Barnett. Like this timeline on Kurt, it's pieced together from various named sources, and is very interesting in regards to her relationship with Courtney, as well as Kurt. From reports, it looks like the Seattle police jumped to conclusions and botched that investigation as well.

Reports of "copycat suicides" Audio Clip continue surface in the press. Many of Kurt's fans are having trouble dealing with his "suicide", and feel that if he thought it was the answer for his problems, then they'd follow suit.

Grant is appalled that no one from the Cobain camp is speaking out about it, and trying to put a stop to these senseless deaths.

On June 17th 1994, the "suicide" note from Kurt was returned to Courtney. The police also apparently returned the note Kurt had written in Rome at this time as well. Grant says Courtney had given the note from Rome to the police for a handwriting comparison, and finds it interesting that the police would return to her some of the last pieces of physical evidence relating to Kurt's death, especially right after Kristen was found dead.

Grant continues his investigation from his office in Beverly Hills. He tries to get DeWitt back in for more questioning. Grant says Dewitt was living in Los Angeles at the time, so it would have been convenient for him to stop by his office. However, every time Grant started to focus on him, Courtney would give him another time consuming job, that was unrelated to the case. Grant gets upset with Courtney about this Audio Clip.

Grant says Courtney eventually tried to get him to sign a confidentiality agreement. He tells her to send him a copy so he he could look at it, but added "I'm not going to sign anything that could interfere with my investigation."

Courtney also says she wanted to get DeWitt, and another friend of hers named Renee Naverette to sign the confidentiality agreement. "Everyone who works for me has to sign it", Courtney tells him.

Grant wonders why would she want DeWitt to sign a confidentiality agreement now? She has known him for years...
