The cabbie's story is odd as he says that Wheeler was "chatty" in the cab and then looked "lost" just minutes later on the street corner. Chatty, IMO, does not fit with a fugue state (that I'm aware of) and also doesn't fit with a bad reaction to a drug. One almost thinks that something happened in the cab or upon stepping out of it (stroke, a fall, bumped by a car or whatever) but then there's the unusual choice of clothing for such a cold day.
I wonder what Wheeler's family and friends have to say about this description. Was he known to be chatty with cabbies?
If JW3 was planning to basically go up to the Dupont and enter it immediately, he wouldn't need a heavy coat. The Dupont is at or near the corner of 11th and Orange.
