Un-named sources and Kurt's last days  Part 2

7)...What didn't make the media was the multitude of rumours that trickled up  from the junkie world that  Kurt was buying rounds from the drug dealers-  putting money up for everyone present and that he was horribly depressed:  that he was clearly trying to overdose; that while dealers would sell him as  much as he wanted, they didn't want him hanging around and dying on them,  leaving a star corpse to dispose of, that he said Courtney was having an  affair with Billy Corgan and had told him about it in Rome, and that this  confession was what had lead to the overdose there.  "Where are my friends  when I need them?"  he lamented to one dealer?. (M. Rossi, Q of N, p.198.) ( No names for these people who saw Kurt.  Of course this could be because  drugs were involved and they wanted to remain anonymous.  OK, I could buy  that reason, except I don't because Dylan Carlson was not only Kurt's best  friend, but also one of his drug suppliers, and Dylan told police that he  didn't see or hear from Kurt after March 30th.   Further, when Grant arrived in Seattle on April 6th and met up with Dylan,  Dylan took him to all of Kurt's traditional hangouts, but nobody had seen  him,(WKKC?, p99.)  Also, Courtney specifically asked Grant to keep watch on a  dealer called Caitlin Moore, so Grant had Ernie Barth keep watch on her house  and take video surveillance of the people coming and going.  Not only did  Kurt not show up on the film, but Courtney never requested to view this film.   Now, surely if Courtney genuinely believed Kurt might show up there, she  would have wanted to check this film, I know I would.  Courtney lead Grant to  Moore because Courtney wanted to provide false leads, she didn't want to see  the film because she knew Kurt wouldn't be on it.  Caitlin Moore was quite  probably a red herring on Courtney's behalf. As a junkie himself, Dylan would be familiar with Kurt's drug connections.   It is not possible to believe that Kurt was doing all this drug taking and  that Dylan was unaware of it.  If Kurt was binging on heroin to the extent  claimed, Dylan would have heard about it, of that I have no doubt.  So who to  believe, a whole bunch of un-named sources, or Carlson and Grant?.  I have to  go with the latter, because, as we will see, Mark Lanegan offers information  which entirely supports their claims.  It is not inconcievable that these un-named sources were planted.  They don't  make sense, they contradict information we have from reliable, named sources.   All of Kurt's friends expressed shock, when after his death, Courtney came  out and said Rome was a suicide attempt.  Without exception, none of them had  been told.  They were angry about this.  They said that had they been told,  they would have kept an eye on him.  Dylan said that had he known, he would  never have bought the gun.  We must conclude from this that Kurt never told  his friends that Rome was a suicide attempt.  This is because Rome never was  a suicide attempt. Now we have suspicious un-named sources talking about Rome and an affair  Courtney had with Corgan, in an attempt to explain why Kurt was depressed and  trying to overdose, both in Rome and while he was "missing" in April 1994  Maybe the authors were fed false information.  Maybe they were set up.  In  the acknowledgments to her book Rossi writes,  "a whole bunch of "Deep  Throats" who don't want their names mentioned. Who would have been able to manipulate the planting of these stories?  It  would have to be someone who knew how to play the media game, and who had  access to journalists/authors.  Obviously it needed to be someone who was  around at the time, someone with an understanding of the drug scene, who  could assess the best people for diseminating false information, either  because they were gullible enough to believe it, or who would do it for  payment.. Who would be the best candidate for this?  Probably a junkie,  someone who had access to the drug underground, someone who had something to  gain from false information leaking out, someone involved in someway with the  murder.  The only person who fits the bill, that i am aware of, is Michael  DeWitt.  Both DeWitt and Courtney are eminently qualified to perform these  tasks. 

8)  The coroners report would list April 5th as Cobains estimated date of  death, but this was refuted by friends who claimed Cobain placed calls to  them on April 6th. (Rossi,Q of N, p.199. (Again, no names for these friends.  Just who were they?  Dylan didn't  recieve a call, he said, "I talked to Cali, who said he had seen Kurt on saturday (April 2nd,) but I  couldn't get hold of him myself." (Cobain by the editors of Rolling Stone,  p.83.)  Charles Peterson didn't hear from Kurt.  Mark Lanegan said,  "Kurt hadn't called me.  He hadn't called some other people.  He hadn't  called his family.  He hadn't called anybody,"  (source, Cobain by the  Editors of Rolling Stone, p.83.) Lanegan went on to say that he had been looking for Kurt for about a week  before Kurt's body was found.  So Lanegan is another concerned friend who  didn't hear the "Kurt binging on drugs", rumours.  Most people assume Kurt  died on either April 5th or 6th.  If Tom Grant is correct in believeing Kurt  was murdered very soon after returning to Seattle,  this would explain why  none of his friends saw him, heard from him, could get hold of him or heard  the rumours of  the drug binge he was supposedly on.   To me, Tom Grant has been the most intelligent person directly involved in  all this, the Seattle Police acted like a bunch of buffoons, they were  totally set up by Courtney, they KNOW they were, and their intransigence to  Grant and Kurt's fans is;

1...An insult to our intelligence.

2...Proof that they are terrified that the truth will get out, because it  shows them for the fools that they are.

3...Means that if a new investigation and verdict are found, they are  directly responsible for the mis-information which has lead many of Kurt's  fans to believe Kurt committed suicide, and who in turn comitted suicide.  What are we to make of these phone calls?  What possible reason for their  existence?  Could they be an attempt to mislead people into believing Kurt  died on or around April 6th?  That can be the only logical conclusion.  If  Kurt was murdered, then whoever was responsible would gain by disseminating  as much mis-information as possible, to provide false alibis, to blur the  edges, give false leads. The last reliable witnesses to see Kurt alive were Sara Hoehn and John Silva,  on April 3rd.  Because no-one else saw Kurt after this it is possible that  Kurt died on April 3rd.  Tom Grant states that a few weeks after Kurt's death  he eventually managed to question DeWitt, who admitted that he did check the  greenhouse on the sunday, which was April 3rd.  I would like to know if that  was after the Silva and Hoehn sightings, because if it was, that puts DeWitt  in the very place Kurt died, on the very day Kurt went missing from the  radar.  Maybe now we see the reason for thoses fake phone calls. 

9) Mrs O'Connor insisted that though the papers suggested Kurt had shot  himself on April 5th, she believed it had happened the following day.  "I  felt it almost the moment he had gone," she explained, suggesting he'd called  her at 5.30 pm on April 6th, even though he didn't say anything.(Kurt Cobain,  published by Oliver books.)   (This could be someone who merely mis-dialled and hung up. Or it could have been an attempt by the people who murdered Kurt to lead  O'Connor into thinking that this was Kurt.  This would tie in with false  leads and claims by un-named friends that Kurt called them on this day.  The  timing, 5.30pm, is interesting.  Grant wondered if Courtney had attempted to  get Kurt's body discovered on April 6th by requesting the electricians worked  on light monitors for the greenhouse.  If these workmen finished work before  5.30pm, Courtney would know at that time that no such discovery had taken  place, and proceeded to use the 6th April as an extra day to plant false  leads. The important thing to remember is that, whoever it was, they did not speak.)  Justice for Kurt.  Frances Barnett.
