Ah...Knife...blood....

If John got knifed or took a bullet, he would have bled out....someplace....

I think they have a witness hidden away and maybe even a crime scene.

IMHO, it's the only thing that makes sense of LE's almost total silence.

For sure, at least, in the dumpster. (Of course, he could have been strangled; and/or as likely, a 'knife'. Moreso, than a gun. Quiet and quick MO most likely and cheaper, if 'not professional'.

As for knowing more here per perp and crime; yes, one would almost think. . .

Waiting for the perp to make a statement on wire, to a snich, or mole that only the LEO and the perp would know; thereby, giving them the evidence to convict him.

Remember the eighteen year old with the same last name as the uncle of the neighbor arrested for burglary? Worked in the same area IIRC.

One more thing. . .Wheeler's body easily seen/found when dumpster begins unloading; and that crime was described as 'clearly, a homicide'; and then the police do thorough sift/sort through garbage, makes one think they were looking for any other clues (of course) but perhaps, more significanly, there was clearly, a murder 'weapon'to be looking for. (Leading me again, to 'knife' consideration...)

Meantime, it would be nice to have announcement, that case has progressed and an arrest or plural, has been made. No one deserves this kind of demise; least of all, a man who served our Country and was a true Patriot.
