The list of people who applied for and received the complete file of open records from the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office in the Chris Benoit double murder/suicide investigation includes a gentleman by the name of Clifford E. “Cliff” Cormany, Jr.
After 26 years as a special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Cormany founded Investigative & Polygraph Group, Inc., of Decatur, Georgia, “a professional association of former FBI agents” specializing in private investigations, polygraph examinations, and security consulting.
Here’s the rest of the story, according to Chris Benoit’s father Michael: “This individual presented his business card to the sheriff back in July ‘07. At the time he represented himself as working for me. We later found out that he was working for WWE.”
Via email, I solicited comment from both Cormany and WWE vice president Gary Davis, neither of whom responded.
No word on whether Cormany intends to administer a lie-detector test to himself.
