April 3rd 1994

EASTER SUNDAY

Courtney called Tom Grant's office in Beverly Hills.(he was the only one open on easter because he was staying after to work on another case) She told him someone was using her husband's credit card and she wanted him to try to find out who it was.

tom and another investigator named Ben Klugman met Courtney at the . "If you leak this to the press, I'll sue the fuck out of you," Courtney warned me as we walked into the room.

Courtney told us them her husband was Kurt Cobain and that he just left a drug rehab. She said she lied to the credit card company and had his card canceled. She wanted us to call the credit card company and find out what the attempted activities were on this canceled card. I mentioned I couldn't understand why she needed us for that. I advised her she could do that herself and save some money. If we did it, tom would have to charge her fifty dollars just to make a phone call.

"What? That's not enough money for you?" Courtney responded sarcastically.

Courtney told them Kurt only had one credit card and without that one card he had no access to money. She said Kurt didn't have any friends or anyone else that might loan him money.

They questioned Courtney more about Kurt's ability to get money for his needs. "This guy can't even catch a fucking cab by himself!"

Courtney told them about a story she had planted with the Associated Press the previous evening. The story alleged that Courtney had overdosed and was in the hospital. She claimed the reason she did this was to scare Kurt and get his attention so he'd try to contact her.

Later that afternoon while Tom was with her in the hotel room, Courtney rambled on in an angry rage about the "9 1/2 million dollars" Kurt was walking away from.

She said, "If he doesn't want the money, he ought to do it for his child, for Frances." She said she'd do the Lollapalooza tour for Kurt if he didn't want to do it...

She said she'd do Saturday Night Live if he didn't want to do it...

She said she thought Kurt wanted a divorce...

She mentioned a prenuptial agreement, but said, "My name's on all the houses and assets."

Courtney said she didn't know for sure where Kurt was. She said he might be in Seattle, or he may have flown back east to stay with Michael Stripe. Courtney initially failed to mention Kurt had been seen at their Lake Washington house on Saturday morning, April 2nd, by "Cali," (Michael Dewitt), the male nanny who was living at the Cobain residence. Cali later claimed he informed Courtney on Saturday, April 2nd, that Kurt had been to the house earlier that morning. Cali said Kurt came into his bedroom and they had a short conversation.

Courtney asked Tom to find someone in Seattle to watch a drug dealer's apartment and other locations in case Kurt turned up, but she didn't ask tom to watch the Lake Washington house.

tom sub-contracted with a P.I. firm in Seattle for the surveillance.
