Soaked in Bleach Page #3

Synopsis: Reveals the events behind Kurt Cobain's death as seen through the eyes of Tom Grant, the private investigator that was hired by Courtney Love in 1994 to track down her missing husband (Kurt Cobain) only days before his deceased body was found at their Seattle home. Cobain's death was ruled a suicide by the police (a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound), but doubts have circulated for twenty years as to the legitimacy of this ruling, especially due to the work of Mr. Grant, a former L.A. County Sheriff's detective, who did his own investigation and determined there was significant empirical and circumstantial evidence to conclude that foul play could very well have occurred. The film develops as a narrative mystery with cinematic re-creations, interviews with key experts and witnesses and the examination of official artifacts from the 1994 case.

and how everybody thinks

He's gonna commit suicide.

Everybody knows it, everybody thinks

He's gonna die.

Hold on a second.

If he bought a shotgun

and he's suicidal,

Then dealing with this

credit card problem,

That's the least important

thing we could help you with.

Okay, well that's where

I want you to start.

She started off with a lie

when we first talked to her

On the phone, saying why

she wanted to hire us,

Which wasn't true, and

then she starts telling us

These other things

that just didn't add up.

They weren't logical,

they didn't make sense.

So all kinds of red

flags started popping up.

I dunno what's gonna

happen with this case,

But we are gonna document everything.

Looking back on that day,

it turned out to be a day

That really changed my life forever.

The name Kurt Cobain

goes through my mind,

Probably three or 400

times a day, at least,

And it has for the last

20 years, by necessity,

Because of the e-mails

I get, the letters I get,

And all the other stuff,

because he was so famous,

And it gets a little

bit old after a while,

Just thinking Kurt Cobain,

Kurt Cobain, Kurt Cobain.

Kurt Cobain, Kurt Cobain, Kurt Cobain,

Kurt Cobain, Kurt Cobain.

Growing up in Aberdeen,

Basically not a whole lot to do.

Nine months out of the

year is very dreary,

Very overcast, lots a rain.

It's kinda hard living in this

area and not being depressed.

Employment opportunities in Aberdeen,

There's not a whole lot.

For the most part, we

were lower-middle class.

I don't think we would

be considered poor,

We certainly didn't go hungry.

The first two weeks of

the month, everybody gets

Their welfare check,

the bars are packed.

The last two weeks of the

month, the bars are empty

And that's pretty much

the state of living.

Kurt used to live across the street,

And his mother and him,

they'd sit out there and argue

For a half hour or 45 minutes,

and the wife and I slept up

In the upstairs bedroom,

so we used to hear it.

I knew Kurt Cobain from the high school.

He ran around with my two oldest sons.

The couch I'm sitting

on now is the couch

That Kurt slept on.

He stayed for a few days,

and then a few days more,

And it just sorta stretched

out to be about a year.

It's a depressing

atmosphere, but I also think

At the same time, that's

why we have so many bands

From all over Washington State.

There was nothing to do.

It rained constantly,

so what you had to do was

You had to improvise.

People tended to pick

up instruments and play,

And I think that just affected the music

For this whole region in general.

In our neighborhood,

we lived a block away

From the group that became the Melvins.
