DE DE - John 'Jack' Wheeler, 66, Wilmington, 30 Dec 2010

One problem with the neighbour theory would be that how would the neighbours know where and when he would be where he was? He wasn't at home.

Thanks. I had been wondering about this man. So very strange.

Wheeler's cell phone found, near the neighbor's house that was subject to the smoke bomb.

I'll try to find a link; it was just reported on the local news.

Found on 12/28/10 by the fire department responding:

A detail I don't was reported before.

Mr. Wheeler was wearing his Rolex watch and his West Point class ring when the body was discovered.

Though there were things overturned in the residence and Mr. Wheelers sword was unsheathed, nothing was taken from the house.

I was thinking of this case last night, wondering what, if anything, had developed. A mystery then.

I was thinking of this case last night, wondering what, if anything, had developed. A mystery then.

It was also listed in the article that he was bipolar and had been hospitalized for "manic behavior" 6-7 years before.

Looking at his activities (which his wife didn't think strange, oddly), he might have been having another one.

 

[wfgodot]

Yes, there's probably a logical explanation for it all, and yet the case still has its mind-boggling aspects. I think "troubling" would be the word to describe it, over-all. It's one that won't leave the mind readily, but sticks around.

 

[J. J. in Phila]

We may have to factor out some of the behavior from the crime. His wondering around, the state of the house, the possibility of tossing the bug bomb, the attempt to get to Phila, all could be symptoms of a psychological problem. That wasn't what killed him, in all probability.

Another body found in DE, this time a recycling center. Similar MO.

Just did an internet search. Here's the story:

The recycling center is in New Castle, DE, but they're investigating to see where the body came from.

I generally post those type of things as soon as it happens.

TGIR, I started a thread on it a few hours ago or so. I'll link it here.

Here ya go:

The body was found at 9:00AM. Fairly decomposed.


Not at that link, but our evening news said between 40-50 years old, caucasian, good boots on although not ruling out the poor man being homeless.

The first 9 years of my life were spent in New Castle Delaware.

Maybe a mod can merge mine to yours as you all put so much work in.

The man was a 49 year old homeless man.
