| COURTNEY LOVE, AFTER THE ROME INCIDENT If Rome was a failed murder attempt by Courtney and DeWitt what on earth could they be thinking and feeling? Scared? Worried that Kurt would recover his memory? Courtney and DeWitt would need to control the situation, see the nanny interview. The previously mentioned internet posting by Kurt occurred on March 29th. So on that day Kurt was still “freaked” about Rome. I would conclude from this that he still didn’t understand, at that point, exactly what had transpired. He may have had vague, confusing recollections/flashbacks that he couldn’t quite understand. If Rome was a failed murder attempt by Courtney and DeWitt, there would be no way that Kurt would be allowed to regain his memory. Courtney traveled to LA just prior to this posting leaving Kurt in Seattle. Her absence would imply that Courtney was willing to leave Kurt to his own devices. Courtney was absent from the Seattle residence, but conveniently, DeWitt was not. When Kurt returned to Seattle on April 2nd DeWitt was there, and had been all along. He could have been responsible for deflating the tyres on Kurt’s car. This is yet another failing on the part of the Seattle Police, why didn’t they investigate the flat tyres? Surely the fact that all 4 tyres were flat was suspicious? I could understand one tyre being flat, but all four? No. Also, Courtney cancelled Kurt’s credit card once she knew he was back in Seattle. So now Kurt had no car, or use of this card, should he choose to leave Seattle, or do what he wanted to do. What gave Courtney the right to do this? It would be convenient for murderer/s, give them control. I choose to believe Kurt, when he said Rome wasn’t a suicide attempt. I also believe him when he said he didn’t have a drug problem, (at the time the intervention attempts took place.) I then have to ask myself what really happened in Rome? And I find myself of the opinion that the Rome incident was attempted murder and on this foundation, Kurt could not be allowed to regain his memory. If Courtney and DeWitt had both been in LA at this time (April 2nd-4th) this scenario wouldn’t exist. But the fact is that Courtney had a nanny travel to LA with Frances, but she chose to leave DeWitt at the house in Seattle, so Kurt was never really free of Courtney and DeWitt’s influence. Between the dates of March 3rd and April 3rd/early 4th 1994, when I believe Kurt was murdered, Courtney and DeWitt had control over Kurt. There are a few instances when this control was precarious. Kurt was trying to change his lifestyle, and he didn’t play to Courtney’s rules. These instances were: 1 (4th March,) When in Rome he attempted to leave her/run away. He ended up in hospital fighting for his life, and he didn’t know why. 2 (March 22nd,) When he insisted on returning the Lexus. At this time Kenney described Courtney as popping pills and “unstable”. 3 (around the end of March,) When he refused intervention. At this time Sepedjian described Courtney as “frantic” and “screaming”. 4 (April 1st,) When he chose to leave rehab. At this time Joe Mama described Courtney as “freaked” and “scared”. 5 (After the Rome incident,) When he talked about divorce and requested a new will excluding Courtney. He died before he got the chance to sign it. Courtney didn’t want Kurt to have control. It scared her. Not because he was suicidal, he wasn’t, and not even solely because she stood to lose everything if he signed his will and divorced her. But because she stood the risk of Kurt remembering that she and DeWitt tried to murder him in Rome. When David Haig met Kurt (after Rome,) in a downtown hotel he found him tense and emotional, and weeping openly when discussing his marriage. Kurt also complained to him of partial memory loss, insomnia, fatigue and 'a buzzing in the top of my head'. (Sandford p 321.) It’s interesting that Haig made no mention of Kurt looking drugged up/depressed/ suicidal. His observations of Kurt are more in line with what one would expect of a classic victim of Rohypnol induced assault. This is further substantiated by references to Kurt wearing his hunting hat at seemingly innappropriate places ie, indoors, after Rome. “One could wonder about impairment of judgement”, (after Rome,) Dr. David Bailey, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California. (Sandford p 321.) On March 29th 1994, Kurt didn’t have his complete memory back with regards to Rome. Within 6 days he was dead. He never got the chance to remember exactly what happened.
