The murder theory

Here are some of the facts which support the theory that Kurt Cobain did not commit suicide, but was murdered.



1 -- A rock singer, Eldon Hoke, claimed that courtney Love approached him in hollywood preceding and offered him $50,000 to kill her husband. She is reported to have said, "My old man's been a real asshole lately. I need you to blow his fucking head off." Hoke then said "Are you serious?", courtey then is reported to have said, "Yeah, I'm as serious as a heart attack. I'll give you fifty thousand dollars to blow his fucking head off!, and make it look like suicide." , now, your probably thinking that anyone could have made this garbage up BUT on March the 6th 1996, Hoke was administered a polygraph test (a lie detecter), by Dr. Edward Gelb who has tested many suspects and is one of the country's leading polygraph experts. Hoke passed the lie detector "beyond the possibility of deception," and according to Gelb, hoke's story is completely truthful. Here's another strange twist in the story. On april the 19th, 1997 Eldon Hoke was found DEAD at riverside, California by the california highway police, 8 days after having his story filmed by Nick Broomfield. A source described the events: "The circumstances [of Hoke's death] are HIGHLY suspicious. He showed up at his house in Riverside with this guy who he introduced as his new friend none of his roommates had ever met before and said they were going out to the liquor store and would be back soon. He never returned. The ['friend' was never seen again] and El Duce was found squashed on the track. Anybody who knew El Duce, according to his friends, knew that the best way to befriend him was to offer to buy him a drink (he was a big alcoholic). So the scenario is quite obvious."


2 -- When Cobain's body was found, he had intravenous puncture marks in both arms and had three times the lethal dose of heroin, yet he was found with his shirt sleeves rolled down and buttoned and his heroin works were neatly put away in a cigar box that lied approx. 3 feet to his right. With such amounts of heroin in his system it would have marked a unique event in recorded forensic medical history had cobain then had the mental clarity and coordination to carfully roll-down his sleeves, button them..., neatly put away his heroin works then pick up and place a Remington 20-gauge semi-automatic Model 11 shotgun in his mouth and discharge it. Furthermore, an almost three times lethal dose of heroin followed by an self inflicted shotgun wound is virtually an unheard of form of suicide!.


3 -- There were NO identifiable fingerprints on the shotgun, shells, or the pen used to write the "suicide note" !, as confirmed by a SPD report. In the February 7, 1997 Unsolved Mysteries segment, Sean O'Donnell, the SPD Media Relations Representative, stated the following: "Our detectives actually went into this investigation on the premise that it was a homicide. That's the way they conducted this investigation. So that there was a very thorough, comprehensive investigation from the very beginning and everything that the detectives encountered indicated to them that this was a suicide." O'Donnell's credibility is seriously brought into question by the fact that the shotgun, the potential murder weapon, was not tested by the SPD for fingerprints until May 6th, almost a full month after Cobain was found; and that the gun was subsequently returned to Love, who had it destroyed. A suicidal man, high on narcotics would have left at least one legible print on a newley-purchased suicide weapon. It is likey that Cobain's print's would have been all over the gun!, in addition the SPD permitted Love to have the body of Kurt Cobain cremated within a week.


4 -- Cobain's shotgun was found loaded with two extra shells. Why would a man who was going to kill himself put more than one round in a weapon he would immediatly fire?, this supports the theory that Kurt feared for his life and was in the room above his garage trying to protect himself. He was infact preparing to leave Seattle to join freinds on the east coast. He was far from wanting to DIE!, he had realised that he could not handle the pressures of being a rock star and was leaving for the east coast. Apart from Courtney saying that Kurt was suicidal, there were no legitimate indications that Kurt Cobain was suicidal. When Tom Grant asked kurt's best freind Dylan Carlson if he thought he was suicidal he replyed saying "NO!, not at all!" then he added that kurt Cobain was "pretty upbeat". Not one of the therapists who spoke with Cobain in April, 1994 at the Exodus Treatment Center (one of the most renowned drug rehabilitation facilities in the country) considered him suicidal! Finally, Tom Grant and Rosemary Carroll had an impassioned conversation in which she exclaimed, "He wasn't suicidal, Tom. Kurt wasn't suicidal!"


5 -- In the concuding lines of the so-called "suicide note", "Please keep going Courtney, for Frances, for her life which will be so much happier without me." It does not require an expert in handwriting analysis to see that these lines are in a completely differant style of handwriting. These lines mark the note's first and only definite reference to a suicidal intent, and the letters are formed considerably larger than in the rest of the note. Handwriting experts around the world have similarly concluded that the note contains at least twelve significant characteristics inconsistent with other samples of Cobain's handwriting from that period.


6 -- On April 4, 1994, following Cobain's departure from the Exodus Treatment Center, Courtney Love told Tom Grant she had called in a missing persons report to the Seattle Police Department claiming to be Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor (this in itself is a violation of the law, a gross misdemeanor). Love also stated that Seattle Narcotics Department Detective Antonio Terry, with whom she had previously spoken on numerous occasions, might have "additional information." Two months later, on June 4, 1994, Detective Terry became the first SPD officer in nine years to be murdered. In Melissa Rossi's Queen of Noise, a pop biography of Love, Love is quoted as saying that she felt "responsible for his death." Whatever Love meant by this comment, why Courtney Love would have felt any responsibility for Terry's death remains unclear.


7 -- Tom Grant asked the SPD if he could see any photographs that had been taken by police of Cobain at the scene of death, but was told none existed. There were, however, 23 Polaroids taken of Cobain, a fact which is even mentioned in Queen of Noise, and rolls of 35mm film which apparently have remained undeveloped. Why the SPD lied about these photos, and why the film has never been developed, has not been explained.


there are alot more facts to come. I will post them as soon as possible.
