Soaked in Bleach

He's reaching out,

really, for the downtrodden

Of society, for the average

Joe on the street who wants

To look up to his lyrics

and his music and say,

"Hey, this man's talking my language. "

You guys don't like explaining anything

To do with your music...

There's nothing to be said,

It's all in the music, man.

It's all in the music.

If there was a John Lennon-type figure

For the so-called "Generation

X," it would be Cobain.

The body of Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain

Was found in a house in

Seattle on Friday morning,

Dead of an apparently

self-inflicted shotgun blast

To the head.

An electrician hired

to work on Cobain's home

Walked up to this room

above Cobain's garage

And made the shocking

discovery this morning.

A suicide note was found.

This is a puzzling case,

A very disturbing case.

It first got reported

that Kurt was missing

And Courtney Love hired

private investigator Tom Grant.

I had been involved in

Missing persons cases before.

Some red flags started

popping up immediately,

So I began recording every

conversation I had with Courtney

During the entire period

that I worked for her.

My name is

It could be made to look like a suicide.

People that I had do this, I paid.

I've walked into cases that looked

Like they were suicides that

turned out to be homicides.

Cobain's wife, singer Courtney Love,

Was in England on

tour with her band Hole

When the body was discovered.

As it is, she has inherited an estate

Worth tens of millions of dollars.

That's motive.

Did Courtney Love kill Kurt Cobain?

Did she have a hand in

any kind of conspiracy?

These are favorite topics of fanatics.

There's nothing in

the medical examiner's

Report or coroner's reports

that could not have easily

Have been duplicated by a murderer.

It's entirely possible

that a police officer,

No matter how well-trained,

may not see or notice

A particular item of evidence.

Kurt Cobain was not barricaded

Inside the room.

He did not leave his

driver's license out.

No one would believe

that was a suicide note.

Kurt Cobain was

injected with three times

The lethal dose of heroin.

The media was getting this wrong.

Are you sure he's not in there?

I knocked for at least five minutes.

If he's there he would have answered.

Alright, I just don't wanna end up

On the wrong end of a shotgun.

Let's go.

Careful.

Kurt?

Kurt!

If we find it we're gonna have

To take it, right?

Yeah.

Which I can legally

do since I bought it.

It's in my name, so...

Not here, could it be under the bed?

Might be.

No. Alright, let's move this.

Alright, what is this?

This mean anything to ya?

Rohypnol, that's where they are.

What?

He kept saying someone stole 'em,

But they've been sitting there.

These are what he OD'ed on in Rome.

Well she didn't want us to take those.

Yeah.

Uh, wait a minute.

Would she be okay if you keep 'em?

Yeah.

Are they legal here?

Yeah, they're completely

legal, they're like...

What are they used for?

They're sold as a sedative for

Sleeping ailments, and sometimes

they're given to people...

And if we get pulled over, you're not

Gonna get arrested for havin' those?

No, they're fine.

Well it's obviously

not here, the shotgun.

No, and I dunno where it would be.

Is there anywhere else?

No.

Okay.

My name is Tom Grant.

I was hired by Courtney

Love to find her missing

Husband, Kurt Cobain, in April of 1994.

My father was a schoolteacher,

And this is a man I

never caught one time

In my entire life telling a lie.

He was the best role

model anybody can ask for.

By the time I became a

junior in high school,

I definitely wanted

to be a police officer.

Graduating from the L.A.

County Sheriff's Department

Was a very proud day

for me and for my family.

My first assignment

was a patrol division

At West Hollywood Sheriff Station.

When I quit the department,

I quit in very high standing.

From there I moved on, took the test

And obtained my own private

investigator's license.

I believe what makes me a good

P.I. is that I always apply

Logic and common sense

to everything that I do.

I've seen a lot of

suicides, a lot of murders,

And I don't try to

pre-determine anything.

And if I feel that my

client, that's coming to me

For help, is in the wrong based

on what they're telling me,

I'll let them know,

"This could be a pretty"

"Dangerous trip for you. "

Scratch the surface of most

P.I.s and you don't find a clean

Record, you find a lotta skeletons.

And then we met Tom Grant.

It turned out he had

an exemplary record.

He was respected, he

was a stand-up guy.

There was a consensus,

and that went a long way

To convincing us of his credibility.

The word conspiracy is

actually a legal term.

It simply means two

or more people plotting

Or planning to commit a crime.

Even committing shoplifting

with another person

Can actually be charged with conspiracy.

When somebody refers to me

as a conspiracy theorist,

I take it as an insult because

I know what they mean by it.

Hiring me is not like

hiring an attorney.

It's not to protect you, it's

not to keep you outta jail.

My job as a private investigator

is to find the truth.

It's simply to find

the truth in the matter

That you're hiring me for.

On Easter Sunday, I was in my office

With a private investigator

who worked for me

Named Ben Klugman, and we were dealing

With a client when the phone rang.

Now who calls on Easter?

Would you excuse us for just a second?

The Grant Company, how may I help you?

And it was a woman's

voice on the other end,

Kind of a raspy, low voice.

Now if someone is unlawfully

using your credit cards,

Maybe the police are the

better people to call.

And then she said,

"My husband and I are"

"Kinda famous, and we need

to get this done right away. "

And your husband's name?

Are you kidding me?

No, no.

I was about 47 at the time; Ben Klugman,

My investigator, was 29.

He immediately knew who they were

And what had been going on, even in Rome

Just a few weeks earlier.

Because it was a holiday, of

course, there were very few,

If any, other private

investigators working, so she went

Through the Yellow Pages

and she found our ad

And I was probably one

of many that she called,

And I think she was probably surprised

To have the phone picked up.

What room number?

It's not very often that

a private investigator goes

Against his client, so I'm

sure she regrets hiring me.

When we were available to meet Courtney

At the Peninsula Hotel,

first thing she said,

And this is her words, they're not mine,

You leak this to the press,

I'll sue the f*** out of you.

Well, hello to you too.

How ya doin'?

Kurtis came from rehab

a couple days ago.

He bought a ticket back to

Seattle, but nobody's seen him

Since he got back.

When I first entered

the room, she was wearing

A negligee nightgown,

totally see-through.

She might as well have

had nothing on whatsoever.

I called the credit card companies
