Ping for those following this case.
How did Wheeler get around? Still too many missing points on his time-line, and indications that maybe the various police agencies are less than communicative between each other.
Oh - and follow up on the USAToday link Radell provides at the bottom.
Thanks for the ping
I posted earlier on the other thread that when reading the USA Today’s article this cabbie gives, the timeline is a day off.
This cabbie says he picked Wheeler up from train station on 29th when in fact the police say he arrived late the 28th but, can’t place him there. However, the smoke bombs go off in the neighbors house the evening of the 28th.
The timeline has him arriving at Amtrak on the evening of 28th. (my notes have - Dec. 28 (Tuesday) - Takes Amtrak train from Washington to Wilmington)5.00 pm - Last response to ongoing email conversation concerning West Point and college football.
28th 11.30 pm - 5 smoke bombs used to exterminate rodents thrown into Marinis’ building site
Cabbie says he wanted to go to 10th and Orange St. (not necessarily Hotel Dupont - Nemours is there too.) If it was the Dupont, what was he doing there - meeting someone? (if that meeting was BIG, and then something happened to him - that’s big! - now there’s even more questions!) Couldn’t be the lawyer, he has his own office in town. SO? (OR is the cabbie lying because his days are off? - OR, did John not make it to Wilmington the 28th?) Sigh - very confusing.
Cabbie : Remembers Wheeler as “calm, relaxed and lucid.”
Of course that makes sense because we know whatever happened to him was between the pharmacy at >>>6pm and the Nemours on the 29th at 6:40pm<<< then disoriented and robbed of his briefcase. NOTE I have a pic up on the other thread of his left arm if someone has photo ability to blow that up and see if his watch and ring are still there. If they are, then it was a robbery to get what was in his briefcase.
About 3:30 p.m. Thursday, (30th) John P. Wheeler III, 66, was seen in Wilmington in the area of 10th and Orange streets by a member of the public, said Newark police spokesman Lt. Mark Farrall. (goes to coffee place earlier on this day as well - no mention of him being disoriented)
