U.S. military expert's body found in dump


A military expert who served three Republican presidents and helped get the Vietnam Veterans Memorial built was found dead in a Delaware landfill, and authorities are trying to piece together when he was last seen alive. The body of John Wheeler III, 66, was uncovered Friday when a garbage truck emptied its contents at a landfill in Wilmington, Del. The truck had collected the trash from around 10 commercial disposal bins in Newark, several kilometres from Wheeler's home. Police said they aren't sure which container his body came from. Friends say they traded emails with around Christmas. Wheeler also had been scheduled to take an Amtrak train from Washington to Wilmington on Dec. 28, but it's not clear if he ever made the trip, said investigators, who have labelled Wheeler's death a homicide.

The police have called it a homicide but the question is who did it and why? If he was a Republican he may have had some enemies. The first thing you think of when you hear of a murder in a dumpster is the Mafia. I will continue to watch this story to see if any new news breaks on this story.
