ATLANTA - Investigators are looking into who altered pro wrestler Chris Benoit’s Wikipedia entry to mention his wife’s death hours before authorities discovered the bodies of the couple and their 7-year-old son.

Benoit’s Wikipedia entry was altered early Monday to say that the wrestler had missed a match two days earlier because of his wife’s death.

A Wikipedia official, Cary Bass, said Thursday that the entry was made by someone using an Internet protocol address registered in Stamford, Conn., where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.

2. I heard that while getting Callie ready

for school this morning. Even she said "How did they know she was dead before the police knew?"

I bet this investigation is becoming bigger than anyone ever expected.

8. Curiouser and curiouser.

And they raided his doctor's office yesterday or the day before. They must have found one helluva drug stash in Benoit's house.

9. The IP address of the poster traced back to Stamford, CT.

Coincidentally (or not), the same place as WWE's headquarters.

I'm thinking, contrary to their claims, that the WWE knew most of the story well before they claimed to have known.

And what's with the media trying to link the death of Sherri Martel two weeks ago to all of this?

edit- never mind. It was Faux news making the link.
