19 Things We Learned From Nancy Benoit's Sister On Talk Is Jericho

6. A Disturbing New Detail

Sandra confirms that the incident happened over the course of several days, beginning with Nancy being killed Friday evening between the hours of 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM. The following morning Chris murdered Daniel, and then waited until Sunday evening to take his own life.

That means he spent two full days alone in the house with his deceased wife and son, which she says is so disturbing. Jericho says Chris had obviously lost his mind at that point.

Sandra then shares a disturbing detail that hadn't previously been revealed. Someone from the WWE office told her that Benoit called trying to book a flight so he could make it to the show he was scheduled for.

She says it shows that his logic was skipping in and out of reality, and his default mode was to focus on work, which he apparently attempted to do in the midst of this madness, with moments of lucidity flashing in and out during his psychotic break.
