A more paranoid sort than I might make something of the fact that an anonymous Wikipedia user from Stamford, CT was reporting Nancy Benoit's death more than half a day before the police found the bodies. - and that, according to the police timelines so far, plants its after the murders *and* after Benoit's own suicide.

But, especially given the previous edits to Stacy Kiebler, Chavo Guerrero, Ron Artest, and several other articles from that same IP, rather than this indicating a murderer other than Benoit, this more likely simply means that someone heard that Benoit's family were sick and were posting false information about him to wikipedia as a form of vandalism, and simply lucked out on hitting fact, this time.

dOOd, don't you see that this totally validates the theory that Benoit was totally set up by the WWE and someone else is responsible for everyone's deaths? Ur so dum.

(This is a variation on something I've actually read.)

I read about this yesterday. I had no idea who Benoit was or anything, but now I really wanna know wtf happened. It's like another bad episode of CSI or something. Totally weird about the wikipedia thing.

Not really. It's to be expected - wikipedia "Birthday Problem". The Appalachian Folk Wisdom form is "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day".

My theory on hearing that, given that the location is WWE headquarters, was that Benoit wanted to duck out of work For Some Reason, so posted that to give him an excuse. And when Wikipedia reverted it, telling him that he needed to back such a claim up with something? He went and did.

Alas.
