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...

I frequently search for updates, but there seems to be a media blackout on any information about Jack Wheeler.
Thanks for the ping.
OMG, I nearly fell out of my chair. Ilooked at that picture and for some reason never saw the person standing in the doorway. Creepy.
Thanks for the ping. BTTT.
bttt
Thank you, Albion Wilde. I have not forgotten him. He seemed like a good, good man and the ongoing information we all read brought him close. I am sure someone/s knows what happened, and why. The fact there is no new info tells me the “why” is very bad.
I have been scanning through the area news every week, but have seen nothing. Radell Smith at Examiner.com has the Newark trash bin sites and crime scene slideshow posted at the top of her page, but no new information.
Kathryn Klyce has been put through an emotional wringer on several fronts.
Hearing Postponed in Fisher Murder
By Marilyn Sadler

The sister of murder victim Emily Fisher has been informed that the next court date for Alfred Turner has been reset from December 15th to January 6th. Turner was convicted of facilitation of felony murder in 2007, but that conviction was overturned in 2010 and Turner was granted a new trial. However, defense attorneys are trying to negotiate a plea bargain. If Turner pleads guilty, he will walk free, having already served eight years of a 25-year sentence.

Thanks Albion Wilde.
New info in this article giving insight into the Klyce family dynamics. (At first I thought Carole was a sibing, but she is Henry's wife.)
Thank you so much for pings this last year, I think they know just not telling us.
Folowed the link, read the article and the comments.
Something in the comments caught my attention and I am curious if anyone on this extended thread can come up with details?

“It doesn’t get more plotted than that. Apparently the birds [ in Arkansas] were killed with phosgene gas which melts your internal organs. The article forgot to mention the connection to the bird death and the technology used had a military manual written by wheeler. Russia’s vladimer Putin drew [knew?] about the connection...”
Andrew Charlton · Top commenter · Elkton High School
“I used to live on Main Street in Newark, and the idea that anybody could’ve disposed of a body on that busy corridor when the cops drive through constantly looking for smack-heads is beyond me. (Cough...Coverup)”
Andrew Charlton
“.... Russia’s state-run media let more info out about this guy than the New York Times. Besides, who knew the timing of the Police patrols of Newark, a man who lived there, or someone looking at palm-trees from Fort Lauderdale? Come back when you’ve got something real to say. This thing stunk, and it still does. An important white male that worked with the Government goes missing in Wilmington, and ends up in a dumpster in the most trafficked area of Newark, and no one knows anything? Hope being naive makes you feel better.”
My nephew understands Russian and perhaps I can squeeze out some details on this thing.
One more thing: the State Department was operating gunrunning to the Caribbean via Florida. The comments on thread about Mafia and the comment about Fort Lauderdale by Andrew Charlton made the connection for me.
BHO2 is not above murder. He demonstrated that in 2006 when he sent $1Million to Raila Odinga for an election and it was used to terrorize and murder missionairies and Christians. One of the missionaries assassinated - shot in the head after being forced from a State Department vehicle - was the woman who accompanied Stanley Ann Dunham Obama and baby Barry on a BOAC flight from Nairobi to Vancouver (BC) via Edinburgh in August 1961.
The question is if the number was a dialed number or just stored in Wheelers phone in case he needed a taxi???
Thanks for the ping. Perhaps if we keep contacing Web sites, talks shows, etc. it would at least show we have not forgotten.
Thanks for the ping Albion - it still makes me angry that this was swept under the rug.
TSD Q&A: Colm Connolly
February 1, 2012
TOWN SQUARE DELAWARE: Let’s start with the Wheeler case. You represent the Wheeler family. One year later and authorities don’t seem to have any real leads toward solving this terrible crime. As a former US Attorney, you’ve seen a lot of interesting cases but this must be one of the strangest and confounding.
COLM CONNOLLY: The person or persons responsible for Jack Wheeler’s death remain a mystery, and my heart goes out to his wife, Kathy, and their family. Despite the best efforts of the Newark Police Department, we are no closer today to solving this crime than we were a year ago. It really is a sad and frustrating situation.
TSD: Is there anything you can tell us about the investigation that TSD readers may not know?
CC: At this point, we’ve decided not to disclose facts beyond what has already been shared with the media. It’s important that the police keep some facts out of the public eye so they can test the credibility of witnesses who may come forward in the future. Having spent 16 years in law enforcement as a federal prosecutor, I understand how critical the credibility of key witnesses can be to a prosecution. You want to make sure that your witnesses aren’t molding what they say to fit what they’ve read in the newspaper. Equally important, you don’t want to give a defense attorney the opportunity to suggest in cross-examination that the testimony of a witness was influenced by a newspaper story.

My gut tells me issues between K Klyce and her siblings (lawsuit referenced above) are the main reason the family has not been more public in their push for answers. A don't air dirty linen problem. A shame.
Sources: Slain Pentagon official had connection to man arrested in Connecticut killing
Posted on February 12, 2012 by Chad Livengood

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.
