John P. Wheeler: Eliminating the red herrings

It looks like Wheeler initially got mugged on December 29th between the time he left Happy Harry's 6.00 PM in New Castle and when he was seen in the video at 6:40 PM.

Either he took a cab, hitched a ride, rented a car or hopped a train. It's only 20 minutes on the road. Someone must have seen something if they took route 9. He must have been dumped off very close to that parking lot and the mugging likely occurred in that neighborhood. I think Scott the cabbie saw something.

The Pharmacist said John looked different and upset...But John hadn't been mugged yet....

In the next 40 minutes, John would go from New Castle to Wilmington and get mugged in between.

Why go "back" up to Wilmington?? New Castle was his home.

Had the police told him about the smoke bombs?? And accused him?? They never SAID they talked to him. Wow....something is sooooo wrong here.

Obsessed?? Not really...

"Wheeler's efforts escalated to crusade-like proportions"

For John Wheeler, house became an obsession

Alot of new details here about the Wheeler-Marini kerfuffle.

Wonder what type of things he kept in his brief case?

I think this is all we know for sure about the contents of the briefcase...

"...[Wheeler] told the parking garage attendant, Iman Goldsborough, that his briefcase containing his parking ticket had been stolen and he could not find his car."

Agree about the two crimes...He may have found the muggers and they killed him and disposed of his body.
If he was killed on the streets and they were street thugs they would have left his body where he died.

Reasons for putting body in dumpster could mean:

Someone he knew whose presence of body would point finger at them.

“Mayor Klingmeyer clarified for the record that he has no relationship with Ms. Marini.”

“Mr. Bayard Marin is representing the applicants. He stated that a letter was sent requesting the recusal of the Mayor and City Solicitor.”

Historic Preservation Districts amount to infringing on the "equal rights" of owners in the area.

If you want Preservation status for your home, fine....but declaring that status for all the buildings in the area is a denial of equal rights.

It's all about money and power.

Thanks for sending me the info on the dumpster locations. :)

It got me thinking about something I read a couple days ago....

"Murder crimes perpetrated by family, friends, business associates--or someone else who knew the victim in some way--tend to prompt an attempt to hide the body or destroy it."

John P. Wheeler: Why the dumpster burial site was likely chosen

I completely rule out that Wheeler "crawled into a dumpster", and I doubt muggers would have tossed him in one. I think whoever did this knew who he was.

I agree - he didn’t go in there by himself - just catching up, I guess there’s nothing new?

[hoosiermama]

Just switched over to FOX again and got in on the end of Geraldo...Crawler said that the FBI has been called in to the case...Did we already know that?

Check out 93.
