Brehs...Benoit googled "easiest way to snap a neck" before killing his family

[The Great One]

Sandra Toffolini is the sister of the late Nancy Benoit, and she appeared on the latest edition of Chris Jericho's Talk Is Jericho podcast. On the subject of the horrific events inside the Benoit family home in June of 2007, Toffolini says she first started noticing changes in Chris as early as the Spring of 2004.

Toffolini says she feels the pressure got to Benoit after winning the World Title at WrestleMania XX, and he became increasingly paranoid as he became more famous.

She previously said her sister was "brutalized" as a direct result of Chris' "roid rage," but she also doesn't discount concussions playing a role in his mental state in the time leading up to the double-murder suicide. Toffolini also feels that Benoit losing a series of close friends and neighbors in the years before the incident took a toll on him. Toffolini and Jericho talk about how close Benoit was with Eddie Guerrero, Ray Traylor, and especially Johnny Grunge.

Sandra revealed several details that hadn't be mentioned by the press before. She noted that prior to the murders Chris had done a Google search on the easiest way to break someone's neck, and that Nancy had gotten a restraining order against him at one point. She says media reports that Daniel had Fragile X syndrome were false and he was healthy. On the subject of Benoit reportedly having the brain of an 80 year old alzheimers patient, she says he functioned fine in the sense that he could navigate roads and airports.

She clarified that Chris killed Nancy on a Friday, Daniel the following morning on Saturday, and then himself on Sunday night by rigging the pulldown machine in his gym to take his own life. She says Chris and Nancy were planning for his retirement after wrestling, and were going to open a Benoit Wrestling Academy in Atlanta.

Really makes me question whether he was completely out of his mind at the time of the attack.

Maybe he was of sound mind and planned the whole thing

Nobody that plans some shyt like that is of "sound mind".

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

He was just looking for clips of his old matches right?



























RIGHT?!

 

[The Great One]

Nobody that plans some shyt like that is of "sound mind".

It's called premeditated murder.

Don't make em any less fukked up in the head.

 

[jackswstd]

The concussions, alcohol, roids, loss of dear friends all played a part in what happened. We'll never really know what the catalyst was that set him off to do what he did.

 

[Tommy Fits]

It's amazing to me how many marks still try to make excuses for Benoit

 

[The Great One]

Don't make em any less fukked up in the head.

In the eyes of the law it does.

He can't plead insanity if he deliberately and meticulously planned the murder.

Why are you are you arguing this?

 

[TransJenner]

He was paranoid , had a fukked up brain , and did roids


There's no excuse but I can't judge him

Who's making excuses? Nobody is assuaging him of guilt, he killed his wife and son. After 9 years all of sudden he it comes out he googled how to break a neck? Nancy was strangled and Daniel was smothered to death, neither had a broken neck. Being that he wrapped that exercise machine cord around his own neck if he Googled that, it was probably pertaining to his manner of suicide.

 

[NoMorePie]

Doctors even said his brain was as if he was an 85 year old with severe Alzheimer disease

who knows how "out of it" he was at the time

 

[TransJenner]

I listen to the podcast , she was talking about him googling how to snap his own neck

Glad you took the time to say that logical stuff, cause I was gonna ask dude if he was goofy as shyt, since no one has made "excuses" for Benoit
