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...

One does not simply toss 225 pounds of dead weight into a dumpster. Didn’t he say when the video was taken that “THEY had taken his briefcase. I’d be looking for at least two individuals....or one very large athletic with a truck to keep the lift a bit smaller.
Just a thought. In the small segment, can you read his lips? Did they edit it out to keep his comments “quiet”?
So from 12-3, he was watching the game SOMEPLACE makes sense as he was observed about 3:30 at/near/in the SBA building which is not too far away from the DuPont.
As to the animation...you're quite right...maybe he has a nail or tack in that shoe...and that finger pointing....IMHO, he didn't look angry at all. In fact, he was quite calm...just on a mission.
Throwing up his hands at the ent/exit door?? Most if not all building doors close automatically...."What else"....
I still go back and think he got a shot at one of the dudes with his shoe and he had THE PERPS blood on it. Yeh....I think he put up a fight....
Please Notice....all the people he talked to....not one swear word...and no revelation as to the "thieves" identity...He remained a gentleman under duress.
Thanks John for all you did for our Country and for our Soldiers. I hope they add some small recognition to a corner of the Vietnam Memorial....so that we "never forget".
Exactly, a man on a mission.
There’s one video that I watched on AMW this morning where it appears they filmed this with another camera as you can see it move to capture him at the top of the screen, plus it’s shaky and I doubt there was an earth tremor.
Both of these cases are shrouded in secrecy.
Makes one wonder how does a woman’s car catch fire backing out of her garage?
And, how does a brilliant successful man like Jack Wheeler wind up dead in a landfill and none of his family or friends are speaking out and asking for help in catching the perps? So much of his story is missing and I’m sure it’s because they are not telling the media for some reason. After all, almost every place has video now, the train station, the hotel, the Nemours, the parking garage. There is a second video that they are not releasing - why?
Waiting for lab reports or wire taps to “cement” their case?
He's a creature of habit...and he is someone who "accomplishes" what he sets out to do.
He keeps to a schedule. He is organized.
His original schedule was upset early on due to the weather on the east coast.
From his residence in NYC, he wrote two emails...1. 26th.."I'm stuck in NYC", 2. 27th.."I'm still stuck in NYC."
We don't even know if he actually met up with his wife while in NYC. I'm going to guess that she was NOT there because of the weather.
You have to ponder a bit...On the 26th...he's ready to travel again...The next day (27th) also. (If she was there, she was stuck, too.) But there's not an inkling in his email (although I'm sure we're getting partials only).
The emails are telling us that he already expected to be on the road and was expected "someplace"....presumedly at Mitre..not on the 28th...but the 26th.
He goes to Mitre, stays in DC. His last email (THAT WE KNOW OF) is at 5 PM on the 28th.
On the morning of the 29th, he takes Amtrak to Wilmington.
This is where you have to "reason out" a path..and I'm sure LE knows all this already.
It's the morning of the 29th and instead of going home, he goes via cab (Spence)to "near the DuPont".
For what purpose?? He knows where he is going. He's not a drifter. He must have been up there to meet with someone.
IMHO: He met with someone for a short while and then took a taxi home arriving there....say 12:00 O'clock noon. He laid down for a quick nap.
His next chore was cleaning up a bit, shaving and arranging his briefcase for his meeting....in Philadelphia. It's now....say 3:30 PM on the 29th. His meeting in Philadephia must be on Dec 30th
To be continued.....
interesting.....looking forward to part two!
Add:
He’s thrifty...spends but might choose taking a different (later or earlier) train because of the $22 difference. Or a bus instead of a TAXI. Or cheaper hotel, restaurant etc
Any thoughts on why he went to the open door in the hallway in the video and shut it and threw his hands in the air?
Makes me think someone was after him......he may have been gesturing to the cameras like ‘where’s the security’? Why else bother to do that?
Those machines in the hallway look like ATM’s that he ran his hand across (both) was he looking for money?
Who are the major suspects running through all of this?
Taxi-cabs?
Construction workers?
Hit men?
One video showed him entering the building through the same door and the door did not shut. It seems he went back to shut it (after talking at the glass window), but again, since it is not timestamped, I can only guess.
The attendant said she told him to go back and close the door. Guess he wasn’t taking kindly to being bossed around.
Thanks, I missed that :)
I was looking back at some of the earliest videos and saw something similar. It looks like they filmed the video off of a monitor.

From your link new info to me: “...Robert Dill, a neighbor who had seen Wheeler Christmas Eve, was shocked at Wheeler’s condition on the tape.
...”
Does this mean we can place him in New Castle Christmas Eve?
Makes you wonder why they did that and what was left out?
Dec. 13 (Monday) - Car parked in Amtrak parking garage on Martin Luther King Boulevard near Wilmington Train Station.
* Delaware Chancery Court judge denies application for temporary restraining order against neighbors Marinis.
ca. Dec. 23-27 - Strange activity at New Castle home with someone leaving unusually loud television constantly playing; also possibly
involves 2 wooden chairs in kitchen and several wooden floorboards.
Dec 24th he is driven to the Wilmington Amtrak train station by his friend and neighbor. He is going to NY to see his wife, and carrying an antique dish as a gift for her in his briefcase.
How many outside doors don't close automatically??? LIKE "0".
And we don't see him entering the building via that video...so he's doing them a favor....Yeh, he was disgusted...Things had been just messed up since the 24th and that winter weather has been a dominant factor....
Suspects?? Still thinking....Remember, his body was never to be found...
I don’t think I’ve seen the video of him entering and the door not shutting...What outside door doesn’t shut by itself???
