I can remember this strange event when it was first reported on the national media. It was the most outrageous story then, and it was obvious this was much more than just a murder.
The mainstream media dropped it after a couple of days and went with the property owners dispute as a reason for Wheeler’s demise. So did all the radio hosts, even the most famous radio host, who just kind of dropped it. All except for Michael Savage, who spent several shows explaining why all the reports did not add up.
Another detail that I remember was that neighbors claimed that the television was extremely loud during that time.
Also I read a interview with a man who worked at his company (was it Mitre Corp?). This man said that Wheeler was working on a technology or method that could detect computer break ins from someone working within the company.
