Wilmington, Delaware (CNN) -- Police have found homicide victim John Wheeler's cell phone, according to a taxi driver who was interviewed by investigators this week.

Athel Scott told CNN National Correspondent Susan Candiotti that police told him they found the cab driver's number in the phone of Wheeler, the former Pentagon official who was found dead in a Delaware landfill. He said investigators wanted to know how his number got there. Scott... says he told the police he didn't have any idea.

"I never got a call from the man. I don't know him... He's never been in my cab. I don't know how my number got in his cellphone," Scott says he told police...

Her mention of Jack's bi-polar diagnosis and the lithium does nothing more than reinforce the erroneous conclusion his mental status led to his death.

I would never have given out that info to the general public. There was no need.

“He was disoriented every day in his life,” and took lithium to treat his bipolar disorder, Klyce told Slate late last week.

“He couldn’t walk from here to CVS without specifically drawn maps,” she said. “. . . He was a touch Asperger-y. He couldn’t read faces. He couldn’t gauge other people’s reactions.”

I have a difficult time with her derogatory statements about Jack.

Make any excuse that you want for her biut it appears she's a nasty lady.

The $3000 ticket for two was on HER card and Jack didn't have access.

I think I now know why the warrants were sealed.

“The $3000 ticket for two was on HER card and Jack didn’t have access.”

I haven’t been keeping up lately, but I did read about the ticket. I thought the $3000 ticket was purchased with his stolen credit card.

OH! I get it now. Thanks!

Sounds as if she wants us to think it was a hit man and he was crazy.

Her people skills seem to be lacking.

Human nature being what it is, if she was as angry at Jack as she said he she was, (an anger which increased each day, I would add) her grief would be compounded by the guilt she would feel.

That particular guilt is not something one can resolve within a month. Where were the “if only’s” or the “I should have’s?” I don't care how well grounded and self assured one might be, there will be guilt in that type of situation

But instead she told the reporters “If you write anything, I hope you write that the cops just made our lives miserable,” she said.

Very strange indeed

From your link:

Surveillance footage from a Wilmington parking garage showed Wheeler without a coat and carrying a shoe the night before he was last seen. But Klyce wasn't surprised. "He didn't care about clothes," she said. "Jack was oblivious."

Now that's just downright mean spirited and totally outrageous. Are we to believe that Jack routinely wandered around in public carrying his shoe?

I really don't like this woman Klyce, Jack Wheeler deserved better than this harpie.

Go back and read about her sister and what she said...said ister was the goody, goody...blah, blah, blah etc... same derogatory tone as her summary of Jack.

I think she married him for all the wrong reasons...look at where she set up business.

As I said up-thread, I am no fashion plate, but I would not wander the freezing streets of Wilmington with one shoe in hand.

I can hear my sisters now: “That's her. She never accessorized. She just didn't care. She never learned shoes were for feet, gloves were for hands. She was oblivious.”


Diddle, diddle, dumpling, her husband John
Wandered Wilmington with his stockings on;
One shoe off, and one shoe on,
Perfectly normal for her husband John.

I can't even imagine what Jack's children are thinking. They know her better than we do. They certainly had/have inklings.

Let's suppose that they each had a work phone and shared a phone (say verizon) like my daughtr, husband and their do.

Was that HER phone at the Marini House or was that just a deliberate LE red herring to start with? Cabbie (Scott) said he never had him in his cab...but it drives me nuts that Scott spotted Jack TWICE...and probably the only two times we know he was visible to a camera...

It's the limp....Add a limp to his build...bald head...hard to miss.

Klyce may be taking some heat about her interview. From this link (end of article):
http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=7971516

“...Action News spoke with Katherine Klyce by phone and she says she stands by her statements about the investigation...”

That good Lol.
Personally can't help but think of member of my own family that would fit the picture she give of Jack...We call them eccentrics. It a classy way of saying nutty....OTOH my great nephew who live in MI was excited when his new governor described himself as a Nerd. His comment finally a person like me in office. (Nephew knew he was different at age 4) Many genius are a bit different according to social standards, but we love 'em anyway!

Some new info from two news articles today:

Speaking publicly for the first time about what he saw the day Wheeler vanished, Dill told USA TODAY that he wondered whether he had stumbled onto a crime scene. A side door to the house was open — not much, just a crack. Chairs had been knocked over, and the radios were silent. Dill had left them on a few days before. That's how Wheeler liked it when he was gone: radios on and tuned to NPR. As he once told Dill, the sound made it seem as though someone was home.

In the kitchen, broken plates sat in the sink. A tall plant had been overturned. And Wheeler's cadet sword from West Point lay on the floor, unsheathed. Dill remembers a heavy dusting of Comet cleanser on the kitchen's wood plank floor — and what he believes was the print of a bare foot in the powder.

Who Killed Jack Wheeler? (w/map and timeline)

DELAWARE: New clues deepen Wheeler mystery

Klyce did not answer her voice mails from Dill. Did she not wonder why the New Castle neighbors were calling? Wasn't she in NYC before going to Cambridge? Why did she not return the calls?

Remember the doorman statements? A doorman at the condominium building Wheeler and his wife, Katherine Klyce, shared in New York City, said he hadn't seen Klyce in two weeks and a package for her had been sitting in front of her door for days. Did she go somewhere else before going to Cambridge?

And Wheeler's cadet sword from West Point lay on the floor, unsheathed.

Sounds as if someone in a rage was taking it out on a symbol of everything Jack stood for.

Interesting to see what this Criminal Profiler has to say and how she responds to readers’ comments...

The Delaware paper news article I linked to reported it this way:

...............

Dill went inside and found the mess. After looking around, he went home and dialed Wheeler’s cell phone.

“Normally you got an instant response from Jack if you called him,” Dill said. “I think he had that phone screwed to his ear.”

He told his wife and they decided to call Klyce, but mistakenly called her home phone in New Castle instead of her cell phone or residence in New York.

The next morning, the Dills reached Klyce on her cell at about 8:30 a.m. and told her about the condition of the home and that Wheeler hadn’t returned their call. Klyce was at a family wedding in Boston that Wheeler was expected to attend, but he never arrived.

“Her comment was, ‘Gee, I’ve been trying to call Jack, too,’ “ Dill said.

Broken dishes were in the sink"...Right...not in the garbage...in the sink...tell me the combination....2 forks, 2 knives, 2 plates.....

The police have been quoted several times: "This is not a crime scene".

By side door, do they mean a porch door??

I don't know what to think about this Dill story...

If the sword was on the floor, they would have taken it in for forensics...

Dill's story sounds absolutely stupid. I'll hold back until it gets straightened out.
