Son's Message to Benoit: "See Ya, Pooh Bear"

Posted May 1st 2008 8:00AM by TMZ Staff

The final phone messages that Chris Benoit left for his wife Nancy and son Dan -- whom he later murdered -- have just been released, and they're heartbreaking.
Click to hear
WSB-TV in Atlanta obtained the calls, which were made in the days leading up to the murder-suicide last June. In one of them, Benoit says, "Hi honey, hi Dan-Dan ... Sorry I missed you. I'll try you on your cell phone. Love you." In another, seven-year-old Daniel tells his father, "Hi pooh bear. Be back soon. Just be there, OK? Eh, pooh bear? See ya pooh bear. Love you."

Other messages indicate that Benoit's colleagues were trying to reach him on the Sunday night after the murders took place.

2. People have a good sense of intuition but they're usaually unwilling ot get off their lazy azzes to help anyone. Next time people if you think there is a problem , go to the guy's house. I HATE how people abandon each other in times of need. I lost all my friends that way and now I'm just mad. Thanks my friend TMz for giving me the oppotunity to vent, point out and help our fn society.

10. I don't care if this was delivered to my home on horse drawn carriage. I wouldnt' play the recording for the world to hear. Some things should be left private. TMZ - isn't Britney buying Starbucks in Hollywood or something?

11. It's all public when it becomes involved in a court case... unless the judge puts a gag order on the case. Remember the Simpson tapes ? UGH!!!!

12. I am appalled that you would post this!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the comment above is true that, an Atlanta station released this tape then that would confirm to me that you (TMZ) bought it from them! Hopefully you will be hearing from the families attorney very soon!

I was under the impression that this is or was an entertainment site. Posting that tape is really scraping the bottom! Disgusted!!!

13. John ~ No where in the post does it say that WSB Atlanta obtained the tape............so my dear how is one suppose to read that?

Posted at 11:24AM on May 1st 2008 by Dallas

14. Sorry John, my mistake!!!!

15. Normally, I am the first to tell a TMZ poster to stop whining about how horrible a TMZ story is, and to go someplace else if they don't like it. If you post on TMZ alot, you most likely have argued with me at some point. I am a fan of making fun of various celebrities, and the stupid crap they do. I'll even make fun of poor little Miley Cyrus, whom everyone on these comments "protects" cause "she's only 15! How Could you! Leave her alone!" etc. However, this has actually offened me. I can't believe it, TMZ has finally offended ME! I never thought it could happen!! I didn't even listen to it, just the thought of it made me queasy.
