THE CHRIS BENOIT DOUBLE MURDER/SUICIDE: ...

The Alarmist
About this episode

Who’s to blame for the Chris Benoit Murder/Suicide?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes return guest, and host of the Hatch true crime audio series Pillow Talk, Deanna Ortiz to discuss the tragic circumstances around the murder/suicide of professional wrestler Chris Benoit in 2007. They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. We know who did it, but could years of steroid abuse give us some insight as to why Chris Benoit took the life of his wife and son before taking his own? Perhaps the pressures of the wrestling industry had something to do with it? Or could the dangerous physical demands of the job be to blame?
