Hey Yo!
I'm not saying that Chris Benoit didn't commit this crime but here are a few things to think about before deciding that Chris Benoit really did kill himself and his family:
- Could somebody else have murdered the Benoit family. Could an ex of Nancy be out to get revenge on Benoits family? Reports have stated that for the last year Benoit had become paranoid that "Someone was out to get him", and that he was also worried that someone was out to get Nancy as well. ( http://www.1wrestling.com/news/newsline.asp?news=29059 ) . Who was Benoit worried about? Clearly there was atleast one person that Benoit believed could potentially cause harm to him and his family.
-If someone has decided to commit murder, and try and get away with it, the best thing to do is to make it look like somebody else committed the crime. Even better, make it look like one of your victims committed the crime, that way it is impossible for them to defend themselves, and the police don't need to prove the case, make any arrests, or do anything aside from declaring the situation a murder-suicide.
-Chris Benoit hated religion, yet bibles were found by each of the bodies.
Also the timing of the murders doesn't make a lot of sense, and the police even called it very bizarre. His wife was killed on Friday, his son on Saturday, and then Benoit killed himself on Sunday? It seems very convient that the murders are spaced out just enough that the investigating officers would be able to tell that Chris Benoit died after Nancy and Daniel, thereby making Chris Benoit the obvious culprit.
- Why would Chris Benoit kill his son? If it is true that Benoit did snap at the marital problems between he and Nancy and kill her, why would he kill his son? Because his son witnessed him kill Nancy? that doesn't make sense seeing as Chris planned on killing himself and wasn't trying to get away with it. The police said Daniel was found asphixiated in bed, did Daniel and Chris sit in the house for a day, each knowing that Chris had just killed Nancy, and then after close to 24 hours Daniel went to bed and Chris waited until then to kill his own son? Why would Chris Benoit wait almost a day to kill himself after killing his son? It seems to be that in a murder-suicide the suicide happens pretty much right after the murder takes place. But conviently in this case (and keep in mind, even the police described the timing of the murders bizarre) all the murders are spread out by just enough time that it would be obvious to the police investigating the case that some of the bodies had been dead for longer than other ones. Clearly, whoever was alive last must have done it (see point 1 about framing someone else for the murder).
- Communication from Benoit to the WWE during this period was all done through text messaging, which only means the messages came from Benoit's phone, not necessarily from Chris himself.
- Here's is where things get dicey: Is it plausible that someone (perhaps the person that Benoit was worried was out to get him) spent some time plotting this murder, and plotting to frame Benoit for it? Could someone have entered the Benoit house without force and killed Nancy, then either restrained or sedated Daniel and Chris (and anyone who has watched enough AandE can tell you there are plenty of sedatives that won't show up on a toxicology report, especially if nobody is looking for it), then waited for a day to kill Daniel, and then a day to kill Benoit, just so there would be no doubt to the investigating officers that this was an open and shut case of murder-suicide, and no further investigation is needed.
Quite possibly this explanation could be seen as far-fetched, but answer this, is it more far-fetched than Chris Benoit, a man everyone liked, who everyone said loved his children more than anything, decided to not only kill his wife but put a bag over his own son's head killing him, and then waiting for possibly as long as a day to take his own life?!
Yes, it seems like this would have been an extremely well-thought out, calculated plan, but how many times have the police convicted someone only to find out later they convicted the wrong person because the real murderer made it look like someone else had committed the crime?
Oh comon man. Look, I know we're all shocked about this but the evidence clearly points to Benoit himself as the culprit. I know there are times when the police make mistakes but in a case like this it seems they would do their absolute best to make sure the real killer is not still on the loose. Everything is so bizarre yes, but answer me this. What's weirder: Benoit spending a day in the house with two dead bodies or Jeffrey Dauhmer living in a house where human heads were in the refrigerator? Sometimes people do weird things like that. Yeah it's fucking strange to any normal person but we (or at least I) don't know what it's like to be in the shoes of a person like that. Maybe Benoit was in shock that he just killed his wife and/or kid and he was trying to figure out what to do, ultimately deciding on suicide as the best route to take.
And since he bound his wife's hands and feet that shows this was a calculated killing. You don't do that out of passion because you're having marital problems.
Where do you get that he hated religion? That just seems like you got that out of nowhere. To me placing bibles next to the bodies could mean a few things. Maybe he was afraid that they would remain in limbo or something, like ghosts, and he wanted them to get to heaven so he placed them there. Or maybe he put them there out of some delusional state of mind. Hell, maybe it was because he was very religious. If you want my honest opinion I think his wife and son were both dead saturday sometime. I think the story of his son coughing up blood was just an excuse to go back home because they were dead already. There was even a report on wrestlezone that he may have actually watched Vengeance sunday night at his home, which would mean he spent at least 2 days in that house with 2 dead bodies lying around. To me, that's the sickest thing of all, other than actually killing them in the first place.
I don't think we'll ever know what truly happened at the Benoit household this past weekend and sometimes the truth really is best left untold. All we can do now is pray for his other children and friends and just hope that they find someway to get over this.
