Investigators in the Benoit Murder Case React to Internet Reports:
Here we go again. At least investigators are finally speaking out about internet allegations.
ATLANTA (FOX 5) – Investigators in the Benoit murder case reacted Thursday night to an internet report that Nancy Benoit feared for her life. The report also claimed that Chris Benoit had recently moved out of the family home because of trouble, but investigators said such reports proved to be frustrating.
Fayette County detectives said there was no truth to a report that was posted on the website, prowrestling.com that said that Nancy had written what the website called, “a strange note” before her death that stated that if something happened to her then Chris would be to blame.
Investigators said a safe deposit box, which the website reported contained the note, actually held typical documents and had no personal writings from Nancy Benoit in it.
Detectives say this kind of internet report is typical of what they call conspiracy theories that have been phoned into the Sheriff’s office from as far away as California since the bodies were discovered.
Got it? There was no strange note written by Nancy Benoit. As much as I love the dirt sheet websites they are really starting to piss me off.
Speaking of pissing me off…
After Nancy, Chris Benoit Drank, Prayed Before Killing Daniel, Mag:
If you ever thought the National Ledger website was a legitimate news source you may want to rethink that.
An investigation by the National Enquirer’s investigative team uncovered what they report as the “real” story of what happened on the tragic weekend that superstar wrestler Benoit snapped - killing his family and then himself. Many have blamed steroids but the report claims that there was booze involved.
The online item claims that Chris was guzzling beer and wine in agony and the popular grappler made sad, slurred phone calls to friends as he prepared to snuff out his life. “When he killed his wife, his life was over and he knew it,” an insider told the weekly magazine. “But he still had his beloved son, and who would take care of him? That’s why it all ended in the ultimate tragedy.”
Yeah. When I want the “real story” the first source I go to is the National Enquirer. I guess they figured they can’t be sued by dead people.

People who buy “The National Enquirer” should automatically have their right to vote revoked…they should also be sterilized.
Zee Cee! Dang! Sterilization? That’s a little harsh. Some of these rags do get it right.
Actually, the story as described- Benoit snaps and kills wife, then realizes his life is over- sounds about right to me. It is the most plausible explanation I have heard.
Let me re-phrase that then:
“People who buy “The National Enquirer” should automatically have their right to vote revoked…PEOPLE WHO BUY THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER AND BELIEVE WHAT THEY READ SHOULD BE STERILIZED.
Is that a little better?
“Some of these rags do get it right.”
Right along side conclusive proof that Elvis still lives, Anna Nicole had an alien love child and some woman who’s baby was kidnapped by bigfoot and then eaten by the Loch Ness monster and dingos at the same time…don’t forget to buy your holy blessed miracel producing splinter from the cross advertised in the back of the rag.
You are mixing up your Gossip Rags with the Weekly World News
The WWN has the yearly feature on BatBoy.
I do have to admit that I read EVERY headline on the front of these rags when I’m waiting to check out at the grocery store and they all have become enmeshed into one collective “garbage rag” for the Jerry Springer/trailer park crowd in my mind so I apologize if I have confused one garbage rag for another
I almost added “for the WWF crowd” instead of “Jerry Springer” crowd….but I realize that would offend some here (all the way to the very top in fact…heh heh) so for once I curbed my tongue and biting wit and have saved it for more deserving targets of my scorn and disdain
Meh, it’s nothing I haven’t heard before in my 20+ years of being a fan.
White trash ballet is my personal favorite.
My male gay friends used to call going to the nudie bar the “ballet.” Just a bit of trivia.
Now, on to the “investigation” by the National Inquirer….perhaps the police department should look into hiring the “investigator.” Since they’ve figured out “the real story” already.
