A police investigation has reportedly been launched after WWE legend Marty Jannetty posted a disturbing apparent murder confession to social media.

Jannetty, who is now 60, took to Facebook in a post that has since been deleted to claim that he “made a man disappear” when he was 13. This would mean that the crime took place around 1973, if it truly did happen.

“I was 13, working at Victory Lanes bowling alley buying weed from a f-g that worked there .. and he put his hands on me,” Jannetty wrote, according to TMZ. “He dragged me around to the back of the building .. you already know what he was gonna try to do.”

“That was the very first time I made a man disappear,” the wrestling legend added. “They never found him. They shoulda looked in the Chattahoochie River.”

Jannetty’s Facebook profile states that he hails from Columbus, Georgia, and attended Chattahoochee Valley Community College in Phenix City, Alabama. The river he referred to in the post forms the southern half of the Alabama-Georgia border, runs through Columbus, which is where police have launched an investigation into this potential murder.

“The first step will be seeing if we have any missing persons or unidentified remains cases that match the limited information in the post,” a spokesman for the Columbus Police Department said in a statement.

However, this spokesperson went on to note that “several current active homicide investigations underway and they will have to remain the priority,” so it may take awhile for the truth behind this post to finally come to light.

Jannetty rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s as a star with the WWF. Later in his career, he went on to become the WWE Intercontinental Champion and Tag Team Champion.

This isn’t the first time that Jannetty has raised eyebrows on social media. In June of 2019, Jannetty admitted on Facebook that he was in the midst of a 60-day drug and sex bender following WrestleMania 35 in New Jersey.

“You all know I play on here a lot, but I am about to be real,” Jannetty wrote at the time. “I have been partying way too much lately, possibly every day since WrestleMania. I don’t know, but I need to stop, but its just hard, my personality doesn’t allow me to be bored. For me going from 350 days a year on the road, and over 100 beautiful ladies per year, to living in the backwoods Alabama right now and only doing shows on the weekends, what the hell else am I gonna do during the week?”

“Drink, smoke a lil plant, possibly throw a lil powder up, then have sex with all the neighbor girls,” he added. “But its got to stop. I am not working out right, not tanning right, not studying film. Hell I ain’t doing s–t but drinking, f–king and waiting for the weekends. I am embarrassed at my own damn self to go do [events] in front of my people looking like a pale white fat pig.”
