Remember the doorman statements? A doorman at the condominium building Wheeler and his wife, Katherine Klyce, shared in New York City, said he hadn't seen Klyce in two weeks and a package for her had been sitting in front of her door for days. Did she go somewhere else before going to Cambridge?
And Wheeler's cadet sword from West Point lay on the floor, unsheathed.
Sounds as if someone in a rage was taking it out on a symbol of everything Jack stood for.
The Delaware paper news article I linked to reported it this way:
...............
Dill went inside and found the mess. After looking around, he went home and dialed Wheeler’s cell phone.
“Normally you got an instant response from Jack if you called him,” Dill said. “I think he had that phone screwed to his ear.”
He told his wife and they decided to call Klyce, but mistakenly called her home phone in New Castle instead of her cell phone or residence in New York.
The next morning, the Dills reached Klyce on her cell at about 8:30 a.m. and told her about the condition of the home and that Wheeler hadn’t returned their call. Klyce was at a family wedding in Boston that Wheeler was expected to attend, but he never arrived.
“Her comment was, ‘Gee, I’ve been trying to call Jack, too,’ “ Dill said.
One would think she would answer Dill’s message....BECAUSE...Jack was not responding to her messages.
Except now we find out that Dill's kids were staying at Wheeler's house...I'm not sure what to think...And Dill didn't report it right away...and Dill was rummaging...he went upstairs to close the window...didn't see anything stolen...etc etc etc...How would he know in fact??...These old houses sometimes have interesting hiding places etc etc...
And when someone at the wedding said "Where's Jack?"...what did his wife say?? and that's a REAL BIG question that demands an honest answer...especially after she wasn't too concerned about his return call...but the Dill call....
