On April 15th, a week after Kurt's body is found, Grant goes to the Seattle police station to meet with Sgt. Cameron, one of the homicide investigators assigned to the case. Grant discusses with him the following:
1. The numerous inconsistencies and contradictions in logic, such as Kurt's missing credit card, and the activity that continued on it after Kurt's death. The letter found on the stairs from DeWitt which seemed phony, and document examiners claims that Courtney wrote the note. The fact that Courtney specifically told Dylan Carlson to check the greenhouse, but did not share this information with him. Doubts on the handwriting located at the bottom part of the "suicide note" , and the electrician's statement about Kurt's hair appearing to have been combed.
2. Courtney's motives for possible involvement in Kurt's death, such as getting more money from a suicide than a divorce. (With a suicide, Courtney inherits the entire Cobain and Nirvana estate. With a divorce, she'd have half, at best). Kurt's record sales increasing, which would bring in more money, and based on what Grant learned about Courtney's personality, how Kurt's death and publicity surrounding it would help her launch her own career.
Grant also asks Cameron why he told him that the door was locked from the inside, pointing out the lock was a simple push-in and twist type . "Anyone could have pulled that door shut after locking it" Grant adds.
"There was a stool wedged up against the door", Cameron replies, with a touch of resentment in his voice.
This is a photo of the mighty stool in the greenhouse that Cameron claims was "wedged up against the door" by Kurt to "barricade" himself in.
When Grant asks Cameron if he could look at the photographs, to see why the electrical supervisor though Kurt's hair had been combed, Cameron replies with "we haven't developed the photographs, and never well. We don't develop photographs on Suicide".
Later on, Grant finds out that they actually did have polaroids taken at the scene, and Cameron could have showed them to him. Why did he choose not to?
Grant concludes the meeting with Cameron, who tells him "Nothing you've said convinces me this is anything but a suicide".
Is this man blind, stupid, or just a lazy cop? Seriously. Here you have a licensed private investigator with 20 years experience and more than enough evidence that something was not right with the suicide verdict Cameron's department rushed to, yet he says "nothing convinces me this is anything but a suicide". How would you like to the the victim of such lazy police work?
