Sources: Slain Pentagon official had connection to man arrested in Connecticut killing

What are the odds that Jack Wheeler and Andy Levene – two men involved in recent bizarre murder cases with a Delaware connection – knew each other? Well, in tiny Delaware, where residents joke that there’s only two degrees of separation among the 900,000 residents, there should never have been any doubt.
Wheeler was a former Pentagon official and New Castle resident who was found beaten to death in the Wilmington landfill on New Year’s Eve 2010 after wandering around the city for two days. His murder has not been solved.
Levene, an Army veteran who ingratiated himself with the Greenville set while he fought off debts from real estate deals gone bad, killed himself in a Spanish prison last month [remember the airline tickets??] after being arrested for killing a Connecticut jeweler after robbing him of $300,000 worth of diamonds.
Sources familiar with their association said Levene met Wheeler through a non-Delaware connection with Wheeler’s wife, Katherine Klyce.
Wheeler and Levene, a quarter-century younger, periodically met for lunch before Wheeler, a driving force behind the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., was killed.
After Wheeler’s death, sources said, Levene often spoke of knowing Wheeler and asked a realtor to meet Wheeler’s wife about selling their expensive riverfront home in Old New Castle. The meeting never occurred.
So what are the odds that the two homicide cases are somehow linked?
Even in Delaware, that might not be possible.

I haven't decided if this story is too convienent or there might be something to it.
I don’t know what to think ir if any of this scenario is real. It sounds like 99.9% conjecture.
Thanks for the update
