Beau Biden was the Attorney General of the state. I'm surprised that he would be involved in what was a local case.

Snipped for length only:
He could have bought or even found the hoodie. They are available is drug stores.
I didn't see this program. Could you elaborate on the e-mail.
The kitchen was discovered by his wife when she came back home, I think. IIRC, Wheeler's sword had been out and some of the floorboards were pulled up.

I see Wheeler as suffering from confusion, in the medical sense. It could have been a psychological problem, a mini-stroke, or even some medication.
Yes, he was the Atty General at the time. Below is a link that will take you to an article about Beau Biden's involvement in this case.Beau Biden was the Attorney General of the state. I'm surprised that he would be involved in what was a local case.

My other theory is something that happens in cities to homeless people. It's possible he became a victim of police brutality. If he didn't have any ID or a cell phone, was having a psychological break or other illness, had been sleeping in empty buildings or in the rough, etc., police probably encountered him. He may have become hostile during some of these encounters. In cases like this, LE sometimes considers homeless people a nuisance. If provoked, they'll become annoyed and rough up the homeless person. They'll also relocate them to other neighborhoods or towns. I'm actually surprised he didn't end up in jail.
It's an alternate theory, but it might explain why officials clammed up about everything.
Two more small details before I try to go to bed:
This was an older person who was pretty well set financially, did he not have a landline phone? If he did, why didn’t he call his wife or someone before setting out to do what he did?
For varying reasons, I think he may have been getting extremely impatient when speaking to the attendant about his parking ticket. The one where he has his show in his hand. I think he was already spiraling pretty badly, and this was another major stressor.
I think the fact that he was a reputable citizen yet his body appeared to have been badly beaten and he was found in the landfill led to the reasonable assumption that he was a murder victim. It was only after the investigation uncovered the events of the two earlier days and his obvious psychotic break that any alternative explanation emerged.
It would be quite a coincidence that it was while he was in the throes of this psychotic break that some intelligence agency or terrorist group would manage to kill him (has it ever been established why any such group would target him?).
It seems extremely unlikely that anyone specifically targeting him would have found him on the streets of Newark, that night and any random street predator would be expected to steal the wallet and watch from such a victim but not to take a serious effort to dispose of the victim’s body. There is no accounting for the behavior of someone in a psychotic mental state but climbing into a dumpster when confronted with extremely cold weather is certainly a real possibility.
What appeared to be a murder with very sinister overtones has turned out to be just a tragic accident and a reminder of the unpredictability of mental illness.
