This is interesting but troubling - Had not heard any of this about Jack Wheeler

As one friend put it, “I think he should be considered the latest casualty of Vietnam. So much of his life was consumed by that war.”

So who are these "friends and long-time associates"? Guess they're the same "unnamed sources" that give in depth interviews to the media. Did he really suffer from PTSD? Bi-polar? Like someone said previously there are so many questions and no real answers. Very troubling.

A couple of sentences from the article linked.
Known as a “constant emailer,” Wheeler’s Blackberry went dead a little after 5 p.m. on December 28.

Did he stop by the pharmacy on the twenty ninth to get his needed medication, because they had been stolen when his brief case was taken?

Also on the thirtieth when in the law office he asked to borrow money. Had his credit/debit card also been stolen?

I have to read this again after my brain wakes up. I will say this again, someone made me aware of a blog posting which would be regarded as explosive in nature if true (personal, not professional).

It may or may not be true. If true it may or may not be related to the murder. It was posted in the earliest days of the story with just enough detail to give pause.

It seemed to me that someone was trying to deflect. With all of the clutter, I still think it was a deflection attempt. It seems as if someone is going down a list. That didn't work, let's try to neighbor feud. Nope? Maybe the drunk angle. Dementia. Now we are into mental illness and PTSD.

I can't help but think that if this was a “simple” case of a man being held up and murdered, we would know the details.
