SUBJECT: Kurt Cobain Suicide
Lieutenant.
This is a tape taken by “SKI” ofa phone conversation he had today with a guy whe
identified himgelf as JACK RIGGS. £ believe Riggs is the one who contacted Ritter about
two weeks ago and told Ritter he had broken the Kurt Cobain murder.
[had a message on my voice mail yesterday from a guy who identified himyclf as Jack
Riggs and he left basically the same message. He, Riggs, had broken the Cobain murder ~
case because “EL DOUCHE" had passed the polygraph test. Not knowing who EL
DOUCHE was J left a message with Kirkland that 1 would contact this Riggs today at the
number he left me (310) 374-5266. Since he had talked with SKI today { didn’t boiher to
call.
J] know Ia is going to be very unhappy with this but I think this tape should be transcribed
The tape is going to be a bitch to do because of the poor quality but as you can tell when
listening to the tape this Jack Riggs is not some 220 like Richard J.ce. He is going to
follow-up on this information and I believe we also will have to look into it. Riggs dues
mention in the tape he is werking with Tom Grant who you will recall was the private
detective originally hired by Courtney Love. Grant currently has some type of dog and
pony show touring the country with the bottom line being Courtney killed, or had killed,
her leving husband Kurt Cebam, —
Since there is now some light at the end of my retirement iunnel please make yoursel!
familiar with all aspects of this investigation. We cannot burden Detective Kirkland as he
is retiring in October of 996. A supervisor with your background would be the natural

Homicide Unit
SUBJECT: Kurt Cobain Death
Steve we are going to have to do some work on the information Jack Briggs is suppose to
have unearthed regarding the death of Kurt Cobain (This has to do with the memo [ sent
to Lieutenant Gerdes and yourself iast week reparding $ki’s phone conversation with this
Briggs.) [a was able to transcribe a really bad tape of the conversation between Briggs
and Ski which [ have attached to this memo. ‘They have me in “WARM & FUZZY
SCHOOL” so I won't be able to do it. Anyway here are some things I would like you to
da
1. Contact this Briggs and tell him we are interested in his information.
2. Advise him we are looking forward to working with the Los Angeles Pelice
Department on this joint investigation,
a. This conspiracy originated in Los Angeles and is L.A P.D. jurisdiction.
b. For the most part all the players are either in L.A. or rotate through there on a
repular basis.
c. The polygraph operator etc. is also an L.A resident.
3. Have him contact us with the name of the L.A. PD, detective handling the investigation
down there and their cas¢ number, {I guess it could be L.A. Sheriff's Office also but you
get the point.)
4, Request copies of any statements he has generated in his year long investigation and a
copy of the polygraph chart and the questions asked during the test.
The point we have to make is we will cvoperate with him but L_A, authorities obviously
have to get involved. Ifyou think of something else go for it.
If Briggs agrecs to send us any of the above you can have him send it to me or yourself. 1
will be out of school Friday and we can go from there.
I don’t think this guy is going to go away ad as J said before if you listen to the tape he
doesn't sound like a “220.” I think if we don’t approach him with an positive attitude he is
going to bite us in the ass. it will be interesting to see if he does go to the local cops!

STATEMENT OF: BRIGGS, Jack
CIESYNSEI: , Okay. Go ahead.
BRIGGS: Okay. So his name is Eldon Hoag. He goes by the monikar El Douche and he
. ¢an prove his relationship with Courfiey Love. Not only do we have his story
but we also have the owner of the establishment who overheard the
conversation and El Douche, Eldon Hoag, brought Courtney Love inte the store
and gave her a card te contact him through. Her story at that time, according to
El Douche, was that she was going te contact him at a later date when she
wanted the job done. About a week before Kurt Cobain was faund dead she did
call the establishment looking for El Douche. He was not around. His band was
en tour. The witness who heard the conversation was then badgered by
Courtney Love “where was he”, she was screaming and yelling. She needed
him. And in fact, he was also asked at that point “what about you?” “Why don't
you da the job?” He said “i'm netinterested. | don’t want to deal with this” and
he Sasically hung up on her. Now that happened about a week before he was
found dead. Now | heard about this story. It was told to me a few months after -
the murder, excuse me, the death. I'm calling it murder buf, from that moment
onward lve researched the whele story. | proved the link between Eldon Hoag
and Courtney Love. | proved the legitimacy of this story by having them take lie
detectors and they both just passed the most advanced lie detecter in the world.
I's Jahn Hopkins University lie detecter and it's operated by a man named Dr.
Edward Geld here in LA. And | was waiting, basically | tried to call a week ago
but | was waiting basically to see the resulis of this ie detector. And he passed
with flying colors. And the base of the whole story fits because she’s not exactly
your normal type of person so-for somebody to say that somebody offered them
money there's always like it's oh boy, that's a pretty wild story. But if you look
into her past and her bizarre behavior, it fits exactly with her profile. And again
this guy has passed the lie detector, He’s willing to come forward and I think
that there needs to be information taken from his man because basically if what
he’s saying is true, and | have to believe it, it proves that she had the intent to kill
him and | have read the private eye’s report - a man named Tom Grant who was
hired by Courtney Love to find Kurt Cobain before he was dead. And his repart
also concludes that he feels that Courtney Lave had semething to do with Kurt
Cobain’s death. So this may be the missing link. Obviously, somebody else did
the job but she was hot for this guy to do the job. Now this guy is about 35
years old, he’s about $10", 230 and he is a skinhead so..
CIESYNSKI: Who is this?
BRIGGS: This Eldan Hoag guy.
CIESYNSKI: Where can we contact him at?
