Police in Delaware are slowly piecing together the details surrounding the death of former presidential advisor John P. "Jack" Wheeler III.
It now seems Wheeler spent at least two days wandering the streets of Wilmington disoriented.
Police say Wheeler traveled from Washington, D.C., where he worked, to Wilmington Tuesday on an AMTRAK train. He was last seen alive at 3:30 p.m. Thursday near the Hotel duPont parking garage at 10th and Orange streets.
Iman Goldsborough, the parking lot attendant, encountered a man she believes was Wheeler on Wednesday night near the intersection where he was last officially seen Thursday.
Goldsborough says the man came up to her looking for help finding his car, but he appeared disheveled and disoriented. He was without a coat and unable to find his car.
(According to police, Wheeler's car was parked in his monthly space at the DoubleTree Hotel's garage, closer to the train station.)
The man was wearing a suit and tie but was also only wearing one shoe and carrying the other. He said he wanted to get warm before paying for his ticket. Goldsborough said she thought the man seemed like he was suffering from dementia.
Kathleen Boyer, a security guard at the New Castle County Courthouse, said a man she now believes was Wheeler told her he was dropped off by his brother two days prior so he could visit his mother, in Wilmington. The man did not have any apparent injuries but did mention he was robbed of his briefcase. He was looking for a hotel and wanted to know where Front Street was.
Boyer, and two other employees, offered to help him and even offered him some money, which he declined.

No kidding Alice...
Sorcha Faal is a steaming pile of nonsense. Why post it here?
ty for the ping, keep ‘em coming
Whew... He must have really been disoriented.
Still, would it not be a cool movie Ala Conspiracy Theory? Kinda writes itself!
Exactly. He wasn’t the average joe.
I’ve read about three articles this morning so far. The cops in Newark said it’s a homicide and they aren’t revealing the cause of death yet.
I’ve explained that multiple times already in this thread. I have no idea who this person is and could care less. I happened to get this in my inbox and decided to share it. I do not buy into it but thought it was interesting what is getting passed around. Why do you have a problem with that?
The only thing I can think of is maybe she sees a lot of people like this, maybe a lot of druggies, drunks etc in that area? I don’t know, I don’t live in a place like that, so I’m only speculating. I know it would be VERY out of place to me, but maybe not to her. If you lived where that was common place you might, after awhile, stop getting yourself involved.
Huh.. That's interesting.
If I recall at least the initial reports mentioned several blackbird species, starlings, redwing blackbirds were what I recall. When we lived in TX I remember that they tended to flock together along with cowbirds and some other blackbird types. Most people probably would not recognize them as separate species (altho they would probably know that the redwings were different since their wings give them away pretty easily).
I’m only pointing this out because whatever happened probably didn’t target a species but just whatever was in the area, and they were likely flocking together, as they tend to do.
Perhaps mugged and a head injury? That seems logical to me.
Irrelevent point. Can’t tell you how he got to where the dumpsters were. But the fact remains that he was dumped out of a dumpster. Got it?
Here’s a video of him, disoriented and carrying his shoe, inside the parking garage where his car wasn’t parked afterall.

Looking a little different? What does that mean?
Yeah, good point. THey will screw it up entirely.
I commented before I saw the other people who’d commented about Sorcha Faal.
I thought most people knew that SF is total nonsense, that’s all.
So people can see it? Or does everything need to be filtered thru you? Come on, FReepers are quite able to read and tell if something sounds like nonsense.
And I apologize for my snarky reply to you. Something IS in the water. :(
