Chris Benoit's house
This is Chris Benoit's former house.
It is situated at 130 Green Meadow Lane in Fayetteville, Georgia.
On June 25th, 2007, WWE CEO Vince McMahon announced that Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their seven-year-old son Daniel had been found dead at their home.
Although the WWE paid tribute to the "Rabid Wolverine" and dedicated an entire show to his legacy, it wasn't long before the company realized it needed to distance itself from him.
Within days, it became clear that it was a murder-suicide, not a tragic accident.
Benoit had murdered his wife and son before hanging himself from a weight machine in his personal gym.
On June 22nd, he knelt on Nancy's back and strangled her to death with a cord. Not long afterwards, he sedated his son Daniel with Xanax and then suffocated him to death.
After murdering his wife and son, he placed copies of the Bible beside their bodies.
The following day, Benoit contacted a colleague at the WWE and told them that he would be late for a show because Nancy and Daniel had food poisoning.
However, he never showed up.
After missing the event, Benoit contacted his colleague again and said that he would fly out to Houston the following morning.
In the early hours of June 24th, the wrestler sent several text messages to people he knew. These messages contained his address and details about how to enter the house.
Later that morning, Benoit failed to arrive at the airport. However, he managed to allay suspicions by contacting the WWE and telling them that he would take a later flight.
That night, he failed to appear yet again. He also stopped answering his phone.
The next day, on June 25th, 2007, officials at the WWE began to worry. One of their biggest superstars had gone silent. They also learned about the strange text messages he had been sending.
Fearing something was wrong, the head of WWE's security team decided to call the Fayetteville Police Department.
The following is a partial transcript of the call:
"Yesterday, he was supposed to show up at a Pay-Per-View. He never got on the plane, never showed up. They tried to reach his wife, Nancy. She didn't answer. They tried to call his house. It's out of character for him."
When the police entered the residence, they discovered the bodies of Benoit, his wife, and their son in separate rooms. Although they informed the WWE that three bodies had been found and that it was now a "major crime scene," they did not provide specific details.
When news of the deaths first broke, Benoit's colleagues initially presumed it was a tragic accident or that someone else had murdered the family.
They could not imagine him committing such a crime, as he was a quiet and friendly guy who got along with everyone. Furthermore, he had recently claimed that Nancy and Daniel were suffering from food poisoning.
As a result, they felt completely blindsided when the truth finally came to light.
