Love lawyer says Cobain cash missing

NEW YORK, April 7 (UPI) -- Courtney Love's attorney says the U.S. singer is attempting to track down tens of millions allegedly missing from her late husband's estate.

The New York Post said Love has enlisted the help of lawyers, private investigators and forensic accountants in an effort to find out what happened to the money late grunge rocker Kurt Cobain left Love and their daughter Frances Bean.

Cobain, frontman for the popular group Nirvana, fatally shot himself in 1994 at the age of 27.

"I have never seen such greed and moral turpitude. This case is going to make Bernard Madoff look warm and fuzzy," Love's attorney Rhonda J. Holmes from the Gordon & Holmes law firm in San Diego told the Post's Page Six about the allegedly missing money. "We will be filing civil cases... within the next 30 days. There are many, many millions missing. We've only been able to track down $30 million, but there is more."

Holmes said Love became aware of the situation when she ran out of money.

"It's no secret she struggled with substance-abuse issues, but in the last year she's taken a more serious approach to sobriety and started noticing things were wrong," Holmes told the newspaper. "We are also working with local and federal authorities. ... Many of those (involved with) the estate's coffers mismanaged, stole and outright looted it shamelessly."
