My last ping was at post 1550. We are all frustrated with the appearance of a lack of progress in the investigation, given that we have found no new news from the investigative sources recently. Here are some highlights of our posts since my last ping:
1590: smoothsailing posted a video Veteran's Day interview with John Wheeler in 1986
1605: smoothsailing has posted a link to a Memorial web site for John Wheeler
1616: blueplum advances new theories regarding recent clues and remarks by the neighbors
1624: apocalypto notes that our thread was linked at a blog regarding unsolved or cold cases
1626 & 1627: smoothsailing posted more photos and links to Wheeler memorials on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund site and the Smithsonian Institution's Reflections on the Wall site
1632: Protect the Bill of Rights posted the link to a memorial page about John Wheeler by a classmate from his high school in Hampton Roads, VA
1640: WestCoastGal links again to the timeline of Jack's last days
1641: WestCoastGal posts a tantalizing detail about Wheeler's sharp intellect
1646: smoothsailing posted reviews and info about the 2010 Albert J. Nahas book, Warriors Remembered: Vietnam Veterans Welcome Home, to which John Wheeler contributed

FReepmail Albion Wilde to be ADDED or REMOVED from a pinglist on the Wheeler case. If you received this ping, you're ALREADY ON.
Thanks for the reminder; albeit a sad one, that so little progress has been made. All more than ‘unfair’ given Wheeler’s ‘who’ and his contributions. He deserves better. As of now; does not appear he is going to get it. But hey. . .time has a way of unraveling circumstances and perhaps, it will for Jack Wheeler. I just hope, sooner; rather than much later. . .
Thanks for the updates!
Thanks, Albion Wilde, for the ping. This remains one of the saddest current events in recent memory. The fact that it remains unsolved and there seem to be no leads is so unfitting to the legacy of this man. Was there ever a public disclosure of the toxicology report? I don’t remember reading about one.
BTW, that West Point cadets picture is breathtaking.
Thanks Albion.
bump for Wheeler
Thank you for the ping to an update.
I have to believe that Jack Wheeler’s friends from West Point will not let this investigation rest.
Thanks for the ping!
I keep emailing Web sites because I can think of little else to do to keep the case alive.
My last ping was at 1661.
From 1682 through 1686, smoothsailing has posted articles, eyewitness reporting and photos of the Memorial ceremony for John Wheeler held in Delaware on March 30, as well as a reminder of the investigation's tipline at 1683.
