Someone from mywebring e-mailed this to me. It's very telling about Courtney and her relationship with the Seattle Police Department. This is Part I. II is continued on the next page.
Courtney Love and the Seattle cops
Was Cobain murder investigation compromised by relationships?

Courtney Love is one of America's most controversial celebrities --
famous for her hard rock music, hard drug use and the many accusations
of foul play that surround the alleged suicide of her late husband,
Kurt Cobain, five years ago this month. But most people do not know
about Courtney Love's long and special relationship with Seattle law
enforcement; a relationship that, according to a WorldNetDaily
investigation, compromised the investigation into her husband's death,
and perhaps ruined any chance of ever knowing what really happened to
Kurt Cobain.
The games of love
On May 2, 1993, Courtney Love dialed 911 after Kurt Cobain overdosed
on heroin. The Seattle police and fire departments arrived at the
Cobain residence and discovered that Cobain had "injected himself with
$30-$40 worth of heroin." Curiously, the police report contains an
entire paragraph that has been blacked out. Normally, certain
incidental information such as names, addresses and phone numbers are
redacted from reports to maintain privacy, but the paragraph in
question describes Love's "attempt" to "save her husband's life." Tom
Grant, Love's former private investigator, was successful in
uncovering the redacted information.
The information in question describes how Love forcibly administered
Buprenorphine, Valium and Tylenol laced with Codeine to "save her
husband's life." This lethal combination of drugs surely aggravated
Cobain's condition and could easily have killed him and yet the
Seattle police did not investigate Courtney Love for possessing
illegal drugs or for sthingy-feeding them to a man who had already
overdosed. In fact, they deliberately concealed her criminal actions
from the police report released to the public. Why the special
treatment for Courtney Love?
On March 18, 1994, the Seattle PD responded to a 911 call at the
Cobain residence. The official report recounts Love's claim that
Cobain had locked himself in a room with a gun, and had threatened to
kill himself, though Love's name is blacked out of the report, while
Cobain's is intact. Once again, more special treatment for Courtney
Love, though none for Kurt Cobain.
The March 18 report also describes how Cobain calmly cooperated with
the investigators and insisted he was not going to hurt himself, but
only locked himself in a room because he wanted to get away from his
wife. Love then admitted to the police that she never actually saw
Cobain with a gun and that he never said he was going to kill himself.
Nevertheless, the report says that Courtney Love dialed 911, "for his
safety... knowing he had access to guns."
On April 4, 1994, Courtney Love called the Seattle police early in the
morning from Los Angeles to report Kurt Cobain as a missing person and
yet for some reason Love falsely portrayed herself as Cobain's mother,
Wendy O'Connor, who lives near Seattle. Why did Love feel the need to
hide her identity, unless perhaps she was hiding her motives?
The police report says that "Mr. Cobain ran away from California
facility and flew back to Seattle... bought a shotgun and may be
suicidal. Det. Terry SPD/Narcotics has further info." This suggests
that Cobain purchased a shotgun on that very day with the intention of
killing himself, when in fact he acquired the gun before he admitted
himself into drug rehabilitation on March 30. Also, Courtney Love told
the police that Cobain had flown to Seattle, when she had told Tom
Grant the day before that she had no idea where he might go.
More importantly, why does the 911 report cite narcotics Detective
Antonio Terry as a source? Tom Grant says that Love considered Terry a
good friend. If Love got angry and wanted one of her drug buddies
arrested, she would call Terry and ask him to bust them. In the days
prior to the discovery of Cobain's body, Love called Detective Terry
from Tom Grant's cellular phone in Los Angeles. This information makes
it difficult to deny a relationship between at least one Seattle
policeman and Courtney Love. Moreover, it suggests that Detective
Terry was willing to abet Love's machinations, even when she lied to
the Seattle police by impersonating Cobain's mother.
In the aggregate, the police reports clearly illustrate how Courtney
Love successfully manipulated the Seattle police. By the time the
Seattle PD investigated his death on April 8, they were already
convinced Cobain committed suicide. One Seattle policeman told Ian
Halperin and Max Wallace, authors of "Who Killed Kurt Cobain?" that
when Sergeant Donald Cameron ordered the homicide unit to investigate
Cobain's death, he told them that the investigation was just "for
show" and not to be too thorough. Apparently, they followed orders.
The Crime Scene
Officer Van Levandowski arrived at the crime scene first. In his
report, Levandowski says that he photographed the crime scene using a
Polaroid camera, while two other officers used 35mm cameras to do the
same. Levandowski describes discovering the "suicide note ...
apparently written by Cobain to his wife and daughter, explaining why
he had killed himself", but Levandowski reached this conclusion prior
to any actual investigation and only four and a half-hours after the
body was discovered.
Levandowski also says that "the victim was AWOL from a drug treatment
center in Los Angeles and that his family had filed a missing persons
report with the SPD. The families fear was that the victim was
suicidal and he had recently bought a shotgun." Another crime scene
report by detectives Jim Yoshida and Steve Kirkland includes the line,
"This is a suicide note directed to Courtney and (deleted) and signed
Kurt Cobain (sic.)"
But if you think Courtney Love had good friends in the Seattle Police
Department, she had even better friends in the King County Medical
Examiner's Office.
Examining the Evidence
King County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Nikolas Hartshorne was an old
friend of Courtney Love and her ex-husband, James Moreland. During the
late '80s, Hartshorne was in the business of promoting punk rock
groups and happened to book Nirvana at the Central Tavern in Seattle
in 1988. Nirvana eventually became the opening band for Leaving
Trains, which was headed by Moreland.
Dr. Hartshorne conducted the initial examination of Cobain's body at
the crime scene. He photographed the body, examined the shotgun wound,
and emptied the contents of Cobain's pockets. Hartshorne noted that
the body was at room temperature and was in the first stages of
putrefaction, suggesting that Cobain had been dead for some time. Dr.
Hartshorne labeled the cause of death a "self-inflicted shotgun wound"
after examining the body for only a few minutes and was soon telling
reporters, "I've never seen a more open-and-shut case of suicide."
However, normally a self-inflicted 12-gauge shotgun wound inflicts
massive blood, skull and tissue loss, but the electrician who
discovered the body said only that Cobain only had some "blood in his
right ear." and officers on the scene instantly recognized Cobain's
famous face, which was perfectly intact.
Initially, the Seattle Post-Intelligence reported that Cobain "was
shot once in the left temple." But in a nationally televised photo
that shows the rear right shoulder of Cobain's body, not one drop of
blood can be seen on Cobain's white shirt or on the floor around him.
If Cobain was shot in the left temple or anywhere else on his head,
the right side of his body should have been covered with blood.
Despite these inconsistencies, Dr. Hartshorne, issued a death
certificate citing as cause of death a "perforating gunshot wound to
the head (mouth)." If this is true, all the blood must have exited
from the left side of his body. More importantly, this specious death
certificate allowed Courtney Love to cremate Cobain's body only one
week after it was discovered, thus permanently destroying the most
important piece of evidence in the investigation.
In response to media incredulity over the mystery wound, in June 1994
the medical examiner's office modified its verdict by saying that
there actually was "no exit wound" and that "all of the shot stayed
inside the skull." Dr. Hartshorne and his colleague Dr. Donald Reay
then released a remarkable document that says Cobain suffered both a
"contact penetrating shotgun wound to the head" and a "contact
perforating shotgun wound to the head." But a "penetrating" wound is
one where the bullet enters, but does not exit the body. A
"perforating" wound is one where the bullet both enters and exits the
body. Why couldn't they make up their minds?
