Tom Grant joined the L.A. County Sheriff's Department in 1969 and was promoted to detective within just a few short years.
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, (after Michael's death), and others who have requested anonymity.
After filing her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Bill Clinton, Tom Grant was hired by Paula Jones. Grant later traveled to Little Rock Arkansas where he spent nearly two months attending depositions and assisting Jones and her legal team with the pre-trial investigation of the president.
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.
In 2004 the esteemed publishing company, Simon and Schuster, released a best selling book about Grant's work on the Cobain case. The book is titled "Love And Death" which can be purchased online at Amazon.com.
In 2007 Grant's work also resulted in the production and release Nick Broomfield's film, "Kurt and Courtney."
In 2015 Benjamin Statler produced and released his film "Soaked In Bleach." Statler's film rapidly spread the news of Grant's Cobain investigation around the world.
Filmed interviews with expert pathologists, such as Dr. Cyril Wecht and the former Seattle Police Chief - who acknowledged in the film that if he were the Chief of Police in Seattle today, he would have the case of Kurt Cobain's death reopened for further investigation - have gone a long way to help establish the truth regarding the suspicious circumstances of the events surrounding Kurt Cobain's death.
With the release of Statler's film, most who have followed Grant's work on the Cobain case over the years now feel that he has been completely vindicated.
Tom Grant has been a featured guest on hundreds of nationally syndicated radio talk shows. He has also be the subject of published interviews and/or the topic of discussion in countless mainstream media magazine articles both in print and online.
Grant has also appeared on CBS Television's ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, NBC's UNSOLVED MYSTERIES, DATELINE, THE TODAY SHOW with Matt Lauer, THE MORNING SHOW with Hanna Storm, COUNT DOWN with Keith Oberman, COURT TV with Catherine Crier and dozens of other local television programs throughout the U.S., Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom.
In 1996 Tom Grant testified in a capital murder case which had been featured on Fox Television's "America's Most Wanted." The killer was convicted.
In 2009 Grant spoke at a prestigious law school in Sacramento California. The audience consisted of several superior court judges, law professors and law students. His 70-minute presentation was well received. He returned two years later for a second presentation at this same law school.
Shortley after, Grant became the keynote speaker at the C.A.L.I. convention("California Association of Licensed Investigators") in Palm Springs, California. The annual C.A.L.I. convention is the largest gathering of private investigators in the U.S. This was a special honor for Tom.
Tom is now available for speaking engagements at churches, universities and other appropriate venues.
