From your video clip posted on the other thread. His words - my thoughts.

McInerny video (paraphrased)

“Jack knew everybody, he was a go to it person - he had a large electronic footprint, sent 100’s
of e-mails a day... lots of connections with well known correspondents who knew him. He worked with the Secretary of the Air-force and Gen Petreus and others. Something went amiss - the way he was dumped in the landfill, somebody went out and got him. He has the highest security clearance, very sensitive air-force clearances.

Disposed of the way he was had a professionalism to it.

His latest expertise was cyber-warfare, he helped Wynn and Mosley in AirForce.

Convened a group of experts at Mitre about cyber warfare.

So where are all these well known DC correspondents and the General etc. now? For that matter, has McInerny been on again?

Can't help but wonder if the initial attack (29th) didn't eventually lead to his demise. But then why dump his body miles away to hide his body?

Which again makes me think that the initial attackers were stalking him (He erratic behavior was his attempt to hide from them) and they finally caught up with him.

OTOH if the first attack was closer to his home the mall/pharmacy area, maybe they just waited for him to return to that area.

Citation for Air Force Exceptional Civilian Service Award, 2008:

CITATION
Mr. John P. Wheeler distinguished himself by exceptionally meritorious service to the United States as the Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, the Pentagon, Washington, District of Columbia, from 3 November 2005 to 20 June 2008. During this period, Mr. Wheeler’s unwavering integrity, devotion to duty and steadfast leadership led to a number of successful initiatives across the Air Force.

Grasping the growing vulnerability of our weapon systems to Cyber intrusions, he worked tirelessly to drive the activation of Air Force Cyber Command. His visionary efforts were instrumental in the creation of the Cyber Research Center at the Air Force Institute of Technology; the first two graduates of the United States Air Force Academy to enter the Air Force Institute of Technology Cyber Master’s Program; the stand-up of the Air Force Cyber School; and an increased emphasis on Air Force recruitment efforts for officers and enlisted for Cyber careers.

His seasoned experience and knowledge proved invaluable as he helped formulate advice on initiatives such as Joint Basing, Recapitalization, ROVER precision strike data for Army and Marine troops, Acquisition, and a myriad of legislative initiatives facing the Air Force.

His day-to-day interactions with the Office of the Secretary of Defense enhanced relations and ensured streamlined timely responses.

The singularly distinctive accomplishments of Mr. Wheeler in the dedication of service to his Country reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

I remember this now from an earlier thread, apparently my mind has been going in circles, I hate it when that happens.

........................................................

I remember hearing Lt.Gen. McInerney in an interview with Megyn Kelly that Wheeler had the “highest” security clearance.

He certainly did, he said it several times. It was very important to his theory of what may have happened.

Here's a partial transcript and a link to a video of the interview:

............................................

..."What is disturbing is, this has to be a professional hit job. I got my last email from Jack on the 21st, other people had gotten them on Christmas Day, and he had a very large electronic footprint - he put out hundreds of emails a day, perhaps. He had lots of connections. Most of the well-known correspondents in the DC area knew him, had worked with him. Former Secretary of the Air Force Mike Wynne, he was his civilian assistant and extremely close to him. They were classmates at West Point, along with General Petraeus and others."

"The fact was that his latest expertise was really in cyber-warfare. It was early in his days in the military that he wrote a paper on chemical weapons, but his real and latest expertise was cyber-warfare, in which he helped Mike Wynne and General Buzz Moseley lead the Air Force, of all the services, into that area. And I participated in a number of meetings with, when he went with MITRE, that he had convened, a group of experts. And we discussed cyber-warfare. So that's the area that really he concerns me - he was very, very knowledgeable in that, plus the very high security clearances that he had. That's why I think that the FBI has go to get involved with this and find out who did this."

It's pure speculation on my part based on Gen. McInerney's theory, but the FBI may have thrown a blanket over the investigation and we may not get much new info for some time.
