Courtney Love's Murder
When Cobain escaped the rehab center in L.A., Courtney Love hired a private investigator, Tom Grant, to search for him. Grant had pointed out Love’s erratic behaviors and hinted that she tried to slow him down whenever he wants to question the nanny who takes care of Frances. He also found out that Love had kept a second note from Cobain to which she later burned. Rosemary Carroll, Love’s former entertainment attorney, had stated that Cobain wasn’t suicidal and revealed that Love had told her to find "the meanest, most vicious divorce lawyer" and also asked if the prenuptial agreement could be voided. A handwriting practice sheet was also found in Love’s possession by forensic document examiner, Heidi Harralson.

    Jonbenet Ramsey Murder Case

    During the autopsy, “some sort of undigested fruit, thought to potentially be pineapple, was found in JonBenet’s stomach that had been consumed just a few hours before she died” (Syrdal). Pictures from the Ramsey household from the day before the murder show a bowl full of pineapple on the table, with Burke Ramsey’s fingerprints all over the bowl. Patsy and John claimed that Burke had been sleeping the entirety of the night of the murder. Also, more evidence surfaced that placed further suspicion on the Ramseys. The ransom note was written in the Ramsey house and after being analyzed it was discovered that it was indeed written by a woman. Finally, after Patsy had finished reporting the disappearance to 911 she accidentally stayed on the line for a couple seconds where she can be heard saying “help me Jesus” and “what did I do” (Syrdal). The Ramseys were never prosecuted due to lack of sufficient evidence, but there is still a huge “umbrella of suspicion” placed upon the whole family (JonBenet Ramsey Murder Fast…

    Jonbenet's Murder Case Study

    There are many assumptions about how killed and JonBen`et and why. But If I had to pick a guilty party base on the facts of the case I would conclude that the murders would be the Father John and the mother Patricia. The author Biography (2017) highlights some key facts of physical evidence that point to the father and mother. The First factual piece of evidence is the Ransom note that was written. Handwriting experts tested the father and the mother, and the mother’s test proved inconclusive. Consequently, a practice note was also found in the home. Secondly, the duct tapes that was placed over JonBen`et mouth contained fabric from the mother’s clothes. The Third piece of evidence is the coroner report. The coroner report states that JonBen`et died of blunt force trauma to the head and then she was strangled.…

    Research Paper On Kurt Cobain

    But suspicions started to rise when Tom Grant, a private investigator who was hired by Love, Kurt’s wife, to at first keep an eye on Cobain and his whereabouts. One of the biggest things that led Grant to believing that Cobain was murdered was because at the time he was found it was noted that “Cobain had at least three times the lethal dose of heroin (by injection) in his blood system AND the wherewithal to “self-administer” a coup de grace by shotgun to his mouth. In reality, that level of heroin would have immediately incapacitated him. There were no legible fingerprints found on the shotgun” There were also forensic investigators that had questioned the authenticity of Cobain's alleged suicide note. Love, was never found guilty and it is still said that it was suicide and not murder. Many people still question the verdict of Cobain’s alleged suicide.…

    Summary Of The Story 'Tragic Love Story Killings'

    The story, “Killings” takes place in Northern America in the City of Boston, Massachusetts. It’s based on two killings that are over the character’s loved ones. The story mostly fixates on Matt Fowler and Richard Strout because they are the two characters that murder someone in the story. I believe that this story could be considered a tragic love story because it has two sides that don’t one hundred percent want a couple to be together, almost like Romeo and Juliet. Although it does not share all the same qualities there are some things this story can relate to.…

    The Virgin Suicides

    Throughout The Virgin Suicides, Jeffrey Eugenides uses several symbols and metaphors to describe and portray the feelings of the Lisbon family. Since the novel is narrated in first person it is important to interpret these symbols and metaphors in an attempt to gain inside meaning from a perspective other than the narrator’s. One of the symbols present throughout the novel is the physical appearance of the Lisbon house. Over the course of the novel, the Lisbon house is described as deteriorating as the Lisbon suicides begin to take place. These signs of decay and neglect of the house, as noticed by the narrators, is symbolic for the change in attitudes and actions put forth by the members of the Lisbon household and the resulting effects of these actions.…
