BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 1975, Grant left the Sheriff's department and went into business as a security consultant. He later obtained his private investigator's license and opened an office in Beverly Hills California where he specialized in criminal investigations.
Grant's client list include some of the entertainment industry's biggest names such as Sammy Davis Jr., George Rhodes, Sondra Locke, Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson and others who wish to remain anonymous.
In April of 1994, Grant was retained by Courtney Love to locate her missing husband, Kurt Cobain, lead singer for the grunge rock group, Nirvana. When Cobain was later found dead, Grant initiated an investigation into the circumstances of his untimely and suspicious death.
Grant's work on the Cobain case resulted in the publishing of two best selling books and a film documentary by Nick Broomfield titled, "Kurt and Courtney." The Broomfield film can be found in most video rental stores including Blockbuster Video.
The books, "Who Killed Kurt Cobain" and "Love And Death," can be purchased at Barnes and Noble, Borders, or online at Amazon.com.
After filing her sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton, Tom Grant was hired by Paula Jones.
