Signature political assasination?

John Wheeler Seen Alive Less Than 24 Hours Before Body Found in Landfill - Crimesider - CBS News

DOVER, Del. (CBS/AP) Newark police have confirmed a report that prominent national defense consultant, John P. Wheeler III, was seen alive in downtown Wilmington, Del. as few at 24 hours before his body was found in a Wilmington-area landfill, Dec. 31, but they still aren't sure how he got to Wilmington or how his body ended up in the landfill.

This is not the kind of murder we usually see of prominent officials in the USA.

I read something recently that he was the main opposition in some land development deal.

I can't imagine knocking someone off because they opposed your construction plans.

Time will tell. All usually comes out in the wash eventually.

In time they'll open a FOIA on it if there's a coverup.

No, they usually wait until they're in a small plane.


But remember righties...you don't believe in conspiracies...it was just a mugging.

Ahhh, a leftie saying don't look any further. No, don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain or the emporer with no clothes. Thanks, typical, nothing real to contribute except snide comments.

A man investigating the SEC who knew too much......

It sounds to me like he was in a tiff with some Soprano types and got whacked.

He, apparently was a Vietnam Combat Vet, a West Point Grad, Yale Business Grad and Harvard Law School Grad and I believe he used to have some kind of cyber job doing something with war games at the Pentagon. What a tragedy. Wouldn't really be surprising to find out there's more to this than meets the eye.

That is usually the case when someone shows up dead.
