An anonymous user operating a computer traced to Stamford, Conn. — home to World Wrestling Entertainment — posted an entry to pro wrestler Chris Benoit's biography on Wikipedia.org announcing the death of his wife Nancy at least 13 hours before police in suburban Atlanta said they found her body along with her husband's and that of their 7-year-old son, FOXNews.com has learned.
Employees at Wikipedia.org said the posting went live on their site on Monday at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Police, however, said they found the bodies Monday at 2:30 p.m. EDT.
The posting reads: “Chris Benoit was replaced by [[Johnny Nitro]] for the ECW Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy.” According to a Wikipedia.org report published after FOXNews.com made inquiries, the edit was reversed just under one hour later with the comment:
"Need a reliable source. Saying that his wife died is a pretty big statement, you need to back it up with something."
The posting apparently was made in reference to Benoit's scheduled appearance on Sunday night at an Extreme Championship Wrestling event in Texas.
An employee from Wikipedia.org told FOXNews.com that he called and left a message with investigative authorities in Fayetteville, Ga., at around 11 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, after the posting was brought to the attention of the St. Petersburg, Fla.-based Web site.
“I chat with other editors on IRC — Internet relay chat — and somebody pointed it out to me on a relay chat and that it came from a Stamford connection, and that it took place at midnight Eastern Standard Time on Monday morning,” said Wikipedia.org volunteer coordinator Cary Bass. “I called and left a message with the police department.”
The computer-generated time and date stamp of the Benoit entry are listed as 4:01, 25 June 2007. Wikipedia.org lists its entries according to Universal Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time.
Further investigation, according to Wikipedia.com, shows that one hour after the first edit reversion, another anonymous edit by 125.63.148.173 using unwiredAustralia.com.au, a wireless Internet service provider, was made adding about the aforementioned personal issues: "which according to several pro wrestling websites is attributed to the passing of Benoit's wife, Nancy."
That edit was reverted less than 20 minutes later, with the following comment: "Saying 'several pro wrestling websites' is still not reliable information." The second edit was made by a computer in Australia from a wireless network, according to Wikipedia.org.
A message left by FOXNews.com with Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department was not immediately returned.
Investigators so far have ruled the Benoit killings as a double homicide-suicide.
Wikipedia.org claims to be one of the largest reference Web sites, and is written collaboratively by users from around the world. Approved users can make submissions and change entries that are posted on the site almost immediately. Bass said the site is constantly monitored to correct inaccuracies.
Bass said when there is a high-profile case, such as the Benoit killlings, Wikipedia.org limits postings to registered users, which is now indicated at the top of the Benoit entry. According to the listed history on the Benoit entry, the computer used to post the 12:01 a.m. entry had a Stamford, Conn., Internet Protocol — or IP — address, a numeric designation that is assigned to every computer with an Internet connection, and that same address has been used to post about a dozen other messages on the site, dating back to May 16, 2007.
In related news, FOXNews.com also has learned, through widely posted Web reports, that former pro wrestler Sherri Martel, who was found dead on June 15, was linked to former wrestler Kevin Sullivan — ex-husband of Nancy Benoit.
Martel, who had a reputation as one of the top managers in pro wrestling, was found dead at her mother’s home in near Birmingham, Ala., on June 15. She was 49.
Investigators, who have not yet determined Martel's cause of death, say foul play is not suspected but that Martel did not die of natural causes.

Ok this gets stranger by the minute. On one hand Chris could have posted that on Wikipedia himself. But what if it was someone else? I am not saying that it was, but this is very strange. I do know Sullivan held a major grudge against Benoit. I am not acusing him but he was never quite well in the head.
 
Wow...
It's like a big conspiracy now.
This **** is getting freaky...

It couldn't have been Benoit, the IP adress was traced t Stamford, Conn.

It was Vince:wow:

The WWE has it's own intarnet server, so Chris would have had an account he could have used from home on a blackberry [email protected] maybe. But it does sound strange. Could someone from the WWE have been the real killer?
 
Ummm...that is freaky.

Did'nt it say it was from an Australian server?
I reckon it was someone in the know, not Chris himself... the plot thickens.
 
I think this whole story is a bit fishy. This is the wierdiest murder i ever heard of. They say he killed them with Roid Rage if that be so why wait a whole day to kill the other. I think somone else killed all 3 but histroy and cops will show it Benoit killed his family and then himself.
 
Obviously someone that knew what he had done posted it. Everyone has the option of editing that site.
 
I would assume he might have called somebody after he commited the murder for advice and maybe this person posted it on wiki? Nah that makes no sense.
 
Maybe it was the ghost of the wife. Now try to sleep tonight with that thought etched into your head.
 
The WTF factor in this case just grows exponentially with every new detail that comes out.

No it was from one in Stanford CT, the home of the WWE. Which makes it all the weirder. I say someone either killed all 3 of them, or druged Chris then killed his wife and son then Chris killed himself from not being able to live with out them.

I really doubt the police are done with this case. The toxicology tests are not back yet. they will tell the real tale.
