Murdering Kurt Cobain

The Rome Incident

Kurt Was Not Suicidal

Kristen Pfaff (4/25)

SUNDAY, APRIL 3RD 1994

Courtney hires Tom Grant

, a Private Investigator that has been in business since the 70s. She had by now cancelled Kurt's credit card. She told Grant when they met that he had no access to money through friends or by credit card. When Grant questioned this she said, "This guy can't even catch a fucking cab by himself."

Strange, he had just managed to successfully leave a place he didn't want to be, purchase a plane ticket and arranged to be picked up at the airport and driven home. He seemed to be perfectly capable. Could Courtney's reason for cancelling this credit card have been an attempt to prevent Kurt from successfully achieving anything else he might have chosen to do? Someone attempted to charge $1,100 to this card at 3pm on this day, but the charge was rejected, If this was Kurt, whatever his intentions, they would have been blocked. (Frances Barnett)

During this meeting with Grant, Courtney:

Admitted that the previous evening she had planted a story with the associated press that she had suffered an overdose.

Ranted about how Kurt had turned down Lollapalooza and thereby kissed goodbye to Millions of dollars.

Told Grant she wasn't sure where Kurt was, that he might be in Seattle or he could have flown back east to stay with Michael Stipe. (She did not tell him that DeWitt told her Kurt was in Seattle and had been back to the Lake Washington Blvd house on the day before on April 2nd).

Told him she thought Kurt wanted a divorce.

See also Peter Cleary's quote: "He and Courtney hadn't been getting along. The only thing keeping them together was Frances, but Kurt had been talking of a divorce and trying to get custody," (WKKC? page 87).

And Dylan Carlson's quote: "She went ballistic, she kept on screaming at him about how much money he was giving up and said if he didn't want to do it (Lollapalooza), she'd be glad to take his place" (WKKC? page 89).

John Silva and Sara Hoehn saw Kurt on this day.

DeWitt told Grant a few weeks after Kurt had died that he had checked the greenhouse on the 3rd April but didn't check it again.
