Irvin Muchnick was interviewed today by reporter Sabrina Van Tassel for a documentary for the French television series L’Effet Papillon (”The Butterfly Effect”).

My probe of the mystery of Chris Benoit’s missing cell phone voicemail — which I think leads to overall credibility questions about the closing report on the Benoit double murder/suicide by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office — took me to an expert in the field, Kevin Ripa of Computer Evidence Recovery, a firm specializing in information technology investigations and data recovery.

Greg Oliver, wrestling writer-editor extraordinaire, reminds me to remind everyone that Scott James is better known as ex-wrestler and now ECW referee Scott Armstrong.

In a comment on his update today at the Wrestling Observer website, Dave Meltzer pulls off the daily double of being both cryptic and weak.

It’s just about time to move on to fresher aspects of the Chris Benoit investigation. But first let’s fully review the scandal of the missing cell phone voicemail. No one out there – not Fayette County officials, not the Atlanta area media, not wrestling newsletters and news websites – should have the excuse that they don’t know what this is about.

In the coming days I’m going to take my reporting notes on the Benoit case into new territory. Before doing so, here are some housecleaning and further information on previous items.

Wrapping up the current thread on this blog about the role of Andrews International, WWE’s security firm, we should summarize what we now know were not one but two calls to 911 on June 25 by Dennis Fagan.

As I said a couple of days ago — and as I’ve told my friend Dave Meltzer directly — the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is missing the boat on the disappeared Chris Benoit voicemail evidence.

A subject of great sensitivity — yet one I remain convinced is another of those contributory factors in the full story of the Chris Benoit double murder/suicide — is the medical condition of Chris and Nancy’s seven-year-old son Daniel.
