A representative of Talent Relations later called Benoit at 6:10 PM. The representative from Talent Relations asked Benoit what time Benoit was getting into Beaumont. Benoit responded he was leaving Atlanta at 9:20pm Eastern time arriving into Houston at 9:24pm Central time. The representative from Talent Relations advised Benoit that it would be too late to make the WWE live event in Beaumont. Benoit apologized citing he had a family emergency. The representative from Talent Relations suggested to Benoit that instead of going to the WWE live event in Beaumont, Benoit should take the flight to Houston, rest up and be ready for the Vengeance Pay-Per-View event. The representative called back minutes later at 6:13 PM to reconfirm the travel plans with no answer from Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations left a voice message to take the flight and rest up.

On Sunday, Benoit sent several text messages from his phone and Nancy’s phone. The first was sent to two co-workers (the same who had spoken to Benoit the day before) at 3:53 AM from his phone: “C, S. My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”. A minute later he sent the same two the following text message: “The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open”. Another minute later to the same two co-workers, this time from Nancy’s phone: “C, S. My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”. Again from Nancy’s phone a minute later to the same two co-workers: ” C, S. My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”. A few minutes later at 3:58 AM, he sent a text message to a co-worker (believed to be Chavo Guerrero) who consistently traveled with Benoit from Nancy’s phone: “My address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”.

WWE made several attempts to contact Benoit via phone and text messages, as well as, the local hospitals in the Atlanta area. As of 11:00 pm Sunday night no contact was made with Benoit. On Monday at around 12:30 PM, WWE was notified of text messages sent to the two co-workers. Concerns over the messages were sent to WWE representative Richard Hering at 12:45 PM, who contacted the Fayetteville County Sheriff’s office and requested them to go to Benoit’s residence. Regarding the messages, D.A. Ballard said that the "assumption is that that was an effort to try to get somebody to come find the bodies after the suicide. That is our assumption."
