BykrBayb has posted a link to a new article about Wheeler. Six pages, with a series of photos scrolled down the right side:

Delaware Online:
One of Wheeler's last rides

Also, there are a number of very interesting posts and pictures since my last ping at 248.

TIA

Interesting thanks for the ping. The Hotel looks like a dump. Is it a upscale place? If so who goes into that area? Do they have wedding there? Just curious.

Thanks, Albion.

Looks like either the reporter misquoted or the cabbie lied:

Spence drove Wheeler along Walnut Street -- the most common route cabbies take to the hotel. When they neared 10th Street, Wheeler started talking.

"He mentioned how Hotel du Pont wasn't worth the money," Spence said.

Spence made his way up 10th Street and turned right onto Orange Street. When they reached the southeast corner of 11th and Orange streets, Wheeler got out.

He'd need to turn LEFT to get up Orange Street to 11th; Orange is one way going North, and 11th is one way headed East. Also, the southeast corner is next to the Nemours Building; the Hotel DuPont entry is directly opposite on 10th.

Thanks for the ping.

The cabbie said he dropped Wheeler off at the Hotel du Pont.
Has anything been released from the staff, patrons, etc. of the hotel about Wheeler?

Trying to keep up with this mystery...

Thank you for the pings..I have had some problems with my computer for a while but now back in business..

This Wheeler story has just about died down..I just watch FOX and get the rest on here at Free republic..I do hope someone finds out what happened to Mr Wheeler..It could be anything..His family has the right to know..and that was so sad that he was found in a dump..
