Episode 17: A True Patriots Murder : "The Mysterious Murder of Jack Wheeler!! "


Listen Later

Jack Wheeler was last seen by his wife on December 28, 2010, as he left their home in Harlem by train to return to work in Washington DC. After spending the day in Washington, he traveled to New Castle, Delaware, where he owned a house. This coincided with an apparent break-in at Wheeler's home in New Castle and an apparent act of arson at a construction site across the street. The next day, on December 29, Wheeler took a cab to the Hotel du Pont in downtown Wilmington, Delaware, where he notified his employer by e-mail that his phone and briefcase had been stolen. Curiously, Wheeler did not call the police regarding the break-in or the theft. To make matters even more confusing, Wheeler's phone was found by the police at the construction site across the street from his home after his death, as they were investigating the possible arson attempt. On the evening of December 29, Wheeler was seen at his local pharmacy in New Castle, where he asked several people if they could give him a ride to Wilmington. 40 minutes later, he was captured on tape by a security camera at a parking garage in Wilmington, limping and carrying one of his shoes. Reportedly he was rambling about how his briefcase had stolen. After spending the evening and most of the day of December 30 in the basement of the Nemours Building in downtown Wilmington, Wheeler was captured on camera leaving the Nemours building at 8:30 pm and was last seen walking past the valet station at the Hotel du Pont at 8:41 pm.  How could  a 3 time  Administrative Aid in the White House,  A Vietnam Veteran and a  Decorated West Point Graduate with the HUGEST heart,  disappear and then have his beat up  murdered body found in a landfill 2 days later ??
