Meanwhile at around 2:45am Grant and Carlson went back to the house and entered via an unlocked kitchen window. They searched the house not only for Kurt, but also for clues that he had been there, their search included looking under the mattress and pillows of Kurt's bed in their search for drugs and drug paraphernalia. They found no heroin or works, they did find a packet of Rohypnol.

There was a bedroom which had a TV on, in which the bed was unmade. Carlson told Grant that this was DeWitt's bedroom.

Strange, looks like DeWitt left in a hurry, could it be that he fled the house because he was trying to avoid meeting Carlson and Grant? (Frances Barnett)

Carlson did not mention searching the greenhouse and as it was dark and raining Grant was not aware that it existed, so it wasn't searched, (Kurt and Courtney film, and WKKC? page 98-99).

In the afternoon of this day, Michael DeWitt managed to leave Seattle without ever seeing Grant, and flew to L.A. to see Courtney. The story was that Courtney needed reassuring, she claimed to Grant that she thought DeWitt had been shielding Kurt from her. This interaction between Courtney and DeWitt would imply they had been in regular contact since his call to her on April 2nd.

Just consider the scenario if Courtney and DeWitt really did conspire to murder Kurt. By now they know he is dead and the discovery of his body imminent because Courtney specifically instructed the electrical contractors to work on the greenhouse, and for good measure asked Carlson to check it. Wouldn't it be better if they, as conspirators were distanced from the scene? Be it by geographical location or by a drug induced haze. They must have been apprehensive. (Frances Barnett)

Carlson spoke to Courtney again that day while she was in hospital, and now she requested they look for the gun which could be in a closet. Grant wondered why Courtney hadn't asked DeWitt to check this and also the greenhouse days before.

And wouldn't that have made sense? (Frances Barnett)

At 9:45pm, Carlson and Grant again checked the house, this time they found a note on the stairs addressed to Kurt from DeWitt. This note expressed surprise on the part of DeWitt that Kurt had been at the house but managed to evade him, it also lambasted Kurt for his disappearance. This note is found on the stairway and Grant believes it was phoney, a tactic to make out DeWitt had been trying to contact/locate Kurt, when really by all sense of reasoning it looks like Courtney and DeWitt were in cahoots in obstructing efforts to find him.
