Clips from taped conversations between Grant and Courtney before Kurt was found on April 8th.
Courtney tells Grant that "Kurt has no friends".
Mentions dealing with Detective Terry, who was murdered in June 1994.
Talks about a note Kurt wrote that said he was leaving her.
"All publicity is good publicity"
"It might even help sell records"
Courtney ponders what lie to tell the Associated Press....
She comes up with one. "It's going to appear that I attempted suicide".
"People will believe me if I deny it".
Courtney admits paying someone to plant a false story in the press.
These are segments of taped conversations between Grant and Rosemary Carroll (Kurt & Courtney's lawyer) after Kurt was found. Carroll seemed to support Grant at the beginning, then stopped talking to him when Love curiously made everyone that works for her sign a confidentiality agreement. She apparently tried to get Grant to sign it too, but he refused.
Carroll has Courtney's handwriting and wants it compared to the note.
Talking about how the letter Cali left on the stairs sounded phony.
"I thought Cali wrote it because he knew Kurt was dead".
Carroll says it's obvious that they're lying about checking the Greenhouse.
Shocked at how Courtney has manipulated the media and police.
These are some clips of conversations between Grant and Courtney Love in the weeks and months following Kurt's death.
Courtney admits she filed the missing persons report with the police.
Talking about how a SPD officer advised her to burn the Rome note.
Says the Rome note wasn't a suicide letter, and gets caught in a lie.
Admits the Rome note mentions Kurt wanting a divorce.
Grant upset with Courtney for not doing what she promised.
Courtney leaves a message on Grant's answering machine after one of his first radio apperances.
Most of the files above are also available in MP3 format on Tom Grant's web site, and on his Cobain Case audio tape. If any of the clips confuse you or don't make sense, then Mr. Grant also has descriptions of them on his site that puts each into context. They're also inserted into the correct places in the timeline of events section of this site.
These clips are apparently just a small sample of the conversations Grant recorded during his investigation. The rest are tucked away and will be turned over to the authorities if the case is reopened. In the Love & Death book, there was an image that gives an idea of just how many cassette tapes Grant has for this case. There looks to be well over 50.
Grant gave Max Wallace and Ian Halperin access to some new clips. The text of those clips is available in their Love & Death book that was released April 2004. When those clips become available in audio format they will be posted here.
