My personal take on what happened in the Benoit household in June 2007 is that Chris murdered his wife and son, then took his own life. Yet, this story would incomplete if we didn’t take the time to look at the conspiracy theories and odd events surrounding the crime.

Whether you believe the official narrative or not, there is no denying that there are strange occurrences and odd coincidences that occurred around the time of the murders. Fourteen years after three body bags were removed from the Benoit home, people are still trying to make sense of them. That doesn’t mean that there is any truth to the rumors, however.

Wikipedia Weirdness

Those of us who write for a living know that Wikipedia should never be used as an official source for an article. This is because anyone can edit the information included in a Wikipedia piece, so there is no guarantee that the information is accurate.

(*Sometimes people use Wikipedia for its sources, but Wikipedia articles are never to be taken at face value.)

Of course, if you don’t write for a living, you might not know how untrustworthy Wikipedia can be. And I will readily admit that I love going down various Wikipedia rabbit holes when I get bored. It’s an entertaining site.
