John Wheeler Hates Fireworks

Yup, blunt force trauma. So apparently he was startled and ran into a tree or power line.

Just to put it out there, last checked the CIA was a little more adapt at murder than punching someone in the head then dumping them into a dumpster.

Just saying, still very interesting, Wheeler is tied to Minot \.

I found the timeline at your link interesting. Very strange all around. On the one hand it does seem as if Wheeler might have been slipped some kind of disorienting agent. But if so; to what purpose? If it was a hit why let him wander for two days?

It is known that the CIA has used various drugs to disorient a target for purposes of discrediting them. So I guess that's possible--someone wanted him to come off as crazy, but it back-fired and he was beaten to death by a person(s) on the street?

The smokebomb set off at his neighbor's house is an oddity. On the surface it would fit the "Wheeler just bugged out" theory.

The T.V. blaring around the clock could be somehow significant, although the timeline is a little unclear on dates & where Wheeler was during that time.

I'm also curious as to the law firm he visited. Did he know any of the Attorneys there? Did they give him the train fare he asked for? Was he disoriented then? I'm gonna Google that law firm.

TIMELINE

8:30 p.m. -- Surveillance video captures Wheeler wandering through the Nemours Building at 10th and Orange streets. Several people approach him because he appears disoriented or confused. Wheeler declines their help. He is dressed differently from the day before.



8:42 p.m. -- Wheeler is picked up on surveillance video leaving the Nemours Building through doors on the 11th Street side. He then continues southeast on 11th Street, walking through the Hotel du Pont valet parking area, crossing over Market Street, and is last seen walking on the west sidewalk of 11th Street, toward the city's East Side.



Dec. 31:

4:20 a.m. -- A Waste Management refuse truck starts its route through Newark, emptying trash bins, including one containing Wheeler's body.
