April 7th 1994

THURSDAY

2.15am

Carlson and Grant drive to the house, Carlson checked to see if Kurt was there, he saw no sign of Kurt. They then went to a payphone and called Courtney who was now staying at Rosemary Carrolls house in L.A. and asked her to call the alarm co. and turn off the alarm so they could enter the house. During this call Carroll overheard Courtney telling Carlson to check the greenhouse. Shortly after this call Courtney returned to the Peninsula Hotel and promptly O.D'd. From her hotel room a call was made to 911, she was arrested and taken to hospital.

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 paraphanalia. 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.

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

Later that afternoon

DeWitt, indignant that 'Courtney [had] accused me of hiding Kurt', flew to Los Angeles to protest his innocence.

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.

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.

9.45 pm

Searching the House

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.
