Is he the kind of man that would do such a thing?
Also I guess he and his wife are going through an ugly divorce.
Apparently they know how he died, yet are not disclosing it.
The statement said Wheeler's work for Mitre consisted of "providing part-time support to outreach activities aimed at promoting discussions among government, industry, and academia on cyber defense topics." Company spokeswoman Jennifer J. Sherman declined to further explain his duties.
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.
'Confused' Wheeler seen hours before killing
Surveillance video places ex-Bush aide inside office building just before his death

Military expert John Wheeler was caught on video appearing confused inside an office building just hours before his dead body was apparently put into a trash dumpster, according to police in Delaware.
News source has video available
A parking lot attendant in Wilmington described a strange encounter with a former Pentagon official, just two days before his body was discovered in a Delaware landfill.
Iman Goldsborough told CNN on Wednesday that a man she later recognized as John P. Wheeler wandered into the parking garage where she works on December 29 around 6:40 p.m., disheveled and carrying a shoe in one hand.
"'I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk,'" Goldsborough quoted Wheeler as saying.
The man, who wasn't wearing a coat despite temperatures in the 30s, couldn't remember where he had parked his car, and said his briefcase had been stolen, she recounted. Goldsborough said she doesn't think his car was parked in that garage, because she had never seen him before and she knows most of her customers.
Two days later, police say, Wheeler's body was found in Wilmington's Cherry Island Landfill.

It's unfortunate this happened in Delaware, a state totally subservient to corporate interests. You would need a homicide detective allied with a local district attorney willing to take on the powers that be, like Jim Garrison, in order to get anywhere with this - if he was indeed killed for parapolitical reasons, and not some random mugging or fight with his neighbors. Unfortunately the victim is not that high profile as a JFK.
If the FBI takes over this investigation, they will probably bury it.
Wheeler, as special assistant to Wynne, would have known about the dual nuclear chain-of-command established by Vice President Dick Cheney, bypassing the Defense Secretary and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, that resulted in a spate of nuclear surety and security incidents during 2007 and 2008....
While working for Wynne, Wheeler helped formulate the Pentagon's cyber-war policy which ultimately resulted in the creation of the US Cyber Command in 2009. In that position, he worked with Lani Kass, the ex-Israeli Air Force major who now advises the chairman of the Joint Chiefs on policy.
It's too early to draw definitive connections between the Boeing/EADS battle, the Alabama deaths, and the Wheeler murder. But we do know this: If EADS wins the contract, the tanker planes will be built in Mobile, Alabama. Gov. Riley has played a prominent role in trying to secure the deal for his state, while U.S. Senators Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby have led the push in D.C.

My question is , what was under the floor in his kitchen? Could have very well of been the hard copy back up that he intended to leak to the public. Nothing was found at the site except floorboards that had been removed.

For the most part I agree with you, "we the sheeple." But you need to realize some of us are awake and nothing can relieve us from the living nightmare that can be. This government has become over the years, and it started virtually 200 years ago or more, a living nightmare for much of the world and we cover it from most of the Aemrican people in our newspapers and history books, so we grow up thinking "we're a good people." I had an Iraq vet in my history class last semester that when i brought the idea that "We're a good people, up, right?" as rhetorical question kind of stunned me by piping up " we are NOT a good people" - with an emphasis on the NOT. I didn't know he was a vet until after class and wasn't expecting that, though my point was to have been to point out a few kinks in that argument. If citizens knew half of what our government does on a day to day basis in this world and in this country, there would be a revolution. Or, I suppose, maybe not. I think most of remain happily drowsing in the pleasant dreams of the "good" America, while our leaders. government and corporate, ravage this world. Since actually running this country democratically is just too much work, most of us don't even vote, but then we're never really taught it takes a day to day effort to support a democratic republic. I hope that will change, but if it does, it will probably be only out of absolute, last minute, no other option necessity.
I don't know why thins guy was murdered, but I'll be looking into it. The holy grail would be that he knew something about 9/11 or some such; I suspect it may be much less dramatic and that it's simply corruption. We'll wee.

Ok....but again, there were witnesses who saw him desheveled and confused yet WHY did'nt any one of them help him or at least call Police or an ambulance? None of the witnesses said they offered to help the guy. Here in Australia most of us just don't leave a man wandering around without at least offering him some kind of help.
To the direct reason for Wheeler’s murder, this report says, was this past week’s transport of Iraqi Phosgene poisonous gas aboard a U.S. Air Force KC-767 tanker aircraft from Little Rock Air Force Base enroute to Afghanistan that shortly after takeoff had a ‘critical malfunction’ of its aerial spraying computer directed command and control system over central Arkansas causing the deaths of thousands of red-wing blackbirds.

He couldn't find his car, and yet it was found in his regular spot yet. Could it be that he parked his car somewhere else knowing he was being pursued and the killers stole it and later parked it in his usual spot? As already pointed out, having been robbed, why not call the police? I think the man was desperately thinking hard about what he could do to evade his killers, likely had tracking devices either inside him, or in his clothing, and could not go to the police. Otherwise, maybe he had been robbed by foreign spies of information, hit over the head, or drugged. Maybe he was poisoned, hid in the dumpster out of desperation, and fell asleep inside it? Maybe he was supposed to meet with someone to leak information, and he was caught?
