I read an article today that suggested that he crawled into the dumpster to look for shelter like homeless people do. It also stated ‘he suggested he was mugged’.

Only makes me more suspicious that this is being swept under the rug. The man was obviously attacked as he said he was and I personally do not believe he voluntarily crawled into a dumpster, for crying out loud.

I don’t believe “he crawled into the dumpster to look for shelter” either. It makes no sense at all.

He’s seen on video and by witnesses in Wilmington numerous times on Dec. 29th and 30th. Why would he go 13 miles to Newark just to crawl into a dumpster on Dec. 31st?

There must have been plenty of dumpsters in Wilmington he could have crawled into.

As you say...The FACT is that he was robbed....someone might have just knocked him off his feet as they gabbed his suitcase. He had money on him.

Now I hate to admit it...But when someone grabbed my 75 YEAR OLD mom's purse, she went after him...It was an hour before she reported it to the police. (She was lucky).

I think Wheeler was doing the same thing. He didn't want the police because he knew he could find the perp faster...and that LE "stinks" when it comes to robberies like this.

I'll bet he was carrying....

He knows people in these areas...
