Trip to the Delaware Dump

Let's take a wheel around and see what we can find:

"Ex-Pentagon official was disoriented, police say" by Sarah Brumfield, Associated Press / January 6, 2011

WILMINGTON, Del. — A prominent national defense expert appeared confused and disoriented as he wandered inside a downtown Wilmington office building less than 14 hours before his body was dumped with a load of trash at a nearby landfill, police said yesterday.... 

The evidence deepened the mystery of what happened to Wheeler.  

Not to me.

FLASHBACK:

"Ex-official’s body in Delaware landfill" by Associated Press / January 4, 2011

The body of  John Wheeler III, a veteran of Republican administrations, was discovered on New Year’s Eve as a garbage truck emptied its contents at the Cherry Island landfill.

He worked as a consultant for the Mitre Corp., a nonprofit with offices in Bedford, Mass., and McLean, Va., that operates federally funded research and development centers.  

Mitre Corp.  Remember that for later.

Police have determined that all the stops made Friday by the garbage truck before it arrived at the landfill involved large commercial disposal bins in Newark, several miles from Wheeler’s home.

“He was just not the sort of person who would wind up in a landfill,’’ said Bayard Marin, a lawyer who was representing Wheeler in a dispute over a couple’s plans to build a new home in the historic district of Old New Castle where Wheeler lived.... 

Is that the cover-story or frame job being set up?

Update: John P. Wheeler III: The 'neighbors' twist

John's neighbor Ron heard loud noise emminating from John's television during Christmas week, and it wasn't the usual occassional program, as Roark says: it was so loud as to be disturbing...and it was continuous for day.

Delaware law enforcement aren't saying how John P. Wheeler III died, but they are denying his home was the crime scene. However, according to WTOP FM Radio, two wooden chairs in the Wheeler's kitchen had yellow crime scene tape stretched across them--and several wooden floorboards near the two chairs were missing. 

Mike Rivero over at WRH was wondering whether he had some stuff on the Bushes or some other elite figures.  

Could it have something to do with 9/11, dear readers?   

Mitre Corp

And now Dick is dying? 

And look what else was in the dump: a BAG of MONEY!

"Del. bank takes back $2m from CEO" by Bloomberg News / January 5, 2011

NEW YORK — Delaware’s largest bank, the recipient of a $330 million taxpayer bailout, took back about $2 million in pay from its chief executive because the compensation broke Treasury Department rules. The revoked pay includes a $1.75 million signing bonus in cash....

I wish someone would sign me to a bonus.
