Soaked in Bleach Page #8

Of this note is that the

largest section of the note,

Or the initial part, talks

so much about his relationship

To music, and it's only the

very small part of the note,

The last four lines, that

talks about his relationship

To his family.

But there's another

linguistically interesting thing

About the second or final

four lines of the note,

And that is that that is

what most of us would consider

A stereotypical suicide note.

"I love you, someone will

be better off without me,"

"Keep moving forward. "

Those are the kinds of

things we expect to find

In suicide notes, or even in overkill,

To make it very stereotypical

so that people couldn't miss

What it was.

There are a lotta questions

I have for Dylan and Cali,

Especially Cali, who spent

more time here at the house

Than anybody last week.

Cali is, he just left for rehab.

He's in El Paso, or

Georgia, I think.

No no no, he's in L.A. with friends.

I'll get Dylan over here.

After probably a half an

hour or so, I walked out

And I asked, "Is Dylan here yet?"

"I haven't seen him," and

I just assumed that somebody

Would let me know when he showed up.

They said, "Yeah, he's

upstairs with Courtney,"

Which I thought was strange.

He was supposed to be

coming in the house to talk

To me, not go upstairs and do

a pre-interview with Courtney.

So there's just been a

couple things that have been

Eating at me in the last few

weeks, and I wanted to sit here

And I wanted to talk to you about them.

Did you just shoot up?

Hm?

Did you just shoot up?

Yeah.

What?

Yes.

Why did you do that?

I told you I was coming

up here, I told you we had

To have this conversation.

Dylan.

Hm?

I told you we had to

have this conversation.

I'm ready.

You're ready?

- Mm hmm.

- You're not ready.

I felt, "Why would Courtney do this?"

She knew I had some serious

questions to ask him,

And she's sending him down

to me in a drugged state

Of mind, where he could hardly talk?

You check the front door or the back?

Did you check the front

door or the back door?

Yeah.

Which door?

Both.

Both doors. Did you check the side door?

No.

You didn't go to the side door?

I don't remember.

You don't remember.

Did you go to the Greenhouse?

No.

You didn't go to the Greenhouse?

Dylan, Dylan, I wanna talk about...

I wanna talk about the Greenhouse.

Dylan.

Dylan was a heroin addict,

And he needed a source for heroin.

Once Kurt Cobain was dead, his

source became Courtney Love.

His loyalty became Courtney Love.

He was very dependent on her.

We've since learned

that she paid his rent

For many, many years, supplied the money

For his heroin, and almost

everybody around Kurt.

They were dependent on Courtney,

They were dependent on Courtney's money.

It's a waste of time, waste of time.

I felt it was my duty

to notify my client

That I was starting to

dig into some directions

That she may not want

me to be looking into,

But I was determined

to do it and I thought

That she deserved to know

that I was going to do this.

She got the message,

I'm sure, from that.

I was insinuating that I suspected her

Of being involved in this.

A few days after that letter was sent,

I got a phone call from Courtney.

She wasn't livid, she wasn't even angry.

She didn't mention the letter, in fact.

I basically said I'm going to

continue with my investigation

With or without your cooperation.

Here's all you have to do to bring this

To a quick end and solve

all of your problems.

Yes, hi, I'm looking for Kurt.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, hi. Someone's gonna get

really f***ed up over there

If I don't talk to Kurt.

Hi, this is Julie Bernstein.

I really need to speak

to my client Kurt.

Get him on the f***ing phone!

Yes, yeah, thank you.

No, no problem.

Yeah, Delta's fine.

with the 20th anniversary approaching,

Detective Mike Ciesynski

re-examined the case files

Of an assignment early

in his fledgling career,

The investigation into

the death of Kurt Cobain.

You can never really realize what type

Of conspiracy theorists

are gonna come out

Of the woodwork.

The amount of heroin that

he injected was 10 times

What, normally, anybody would've taken,

Even a heavy heroin user.

I believe he gave himself a

fatal dose of black tar heroin.

Detective Mike Ciesynski

found four rolls

Of undeveloped crime scene photos.

Two of those photos were released,

Taken the day his body was found.

In hindsight, I think I

would've developed the film.

Did you find anything different

That made you believe

it's anything but suicide?

No, nothing.

What are people gonna

gain from seeing pictures

Of Kurt Cobain?

How is that gonna benefit anybody?

It wasn't gonna change my

decision that this was a suicide,

And actually I'm the one who

makes the decision finally,

Do we go forward or not.

There is never one item

that I said definitely

That this actually

was suicide, but um...

Any re-examination should

not even be actively

Participated in by the

Seattle Police Department.

To expect them to conduct

an objective, detached,

Unbiased investigation,

come back 20 years later

And say, "Hey man, we blew it?"

It flies in the face of common sense.

The Kurt Cobain death

demands a re-opening

By an objective set of

experts, and until that is done,

Then one cannot feel

comfortable in saying

That Kurt Cobain's death

was a clear-cut suicide.

For me, the most

compelling piece of evidence

That convinces me,

almost to a certainty,

That Kurt was murdered, was

the level of heroin in his body.

There's never been a

documented case in the history

Of law enforcement

where somebody could have

The level of heroin in

their body that Kurt did,

Still remain conscious,

and still led to a suicide.

We talked to an FBI expert, and he said,

"If you wanna get away with murder,"

"You kill a junkie. "

It's very easy to make a murder look

Look like an accidental

overdose or a suicide.

It's the perfect crime,

and it happens all the time.

We know that Kurt and Courtney

had a prenuptial agreement.

They were in the process

of getting a divorce.

This was confirmed, they were divorcing.

He was leaving her.

If the divorce had gone through,

She would've received

a very small settlement

As a result of the prenuptial agreement.

When he died, she

co-inherited an estate worth

Possibly more than a billion

dollars in future royalties.

Police immediately look at motive.

Here's the motive.

No matter what anybody

believes, this happened

Far too quickly for the kinds

of things to be accomplished

That need to be done in this

kind of death investigation.

We should, in fact, have

taken steps to study patterns

Involved in the behavior of

key individuals who had a motive

To see Kurt Cobain dead.

This would be in fact, a

classical example for how

An investigation should not be done.

If, in fact, Kurt Cobain

was murdered, as opposed

To having committed

suicide, and it was possible

To learn that, shame on
