You may remember John Wheeler – the Cybersecurity expect and long time consultant to the government in a number of roles whose body showed up oddly in a Delaware landfill after he had been wandering around Newark Delaware appearing disoriented.
The State Medical examiner has declared he died of “blunt force trauma” after being assaulted. The report was awaiting results from toxicology, but the medical examiner released no details from that report, which reporters are suggesting means it didn’t provide any clues. Nothing specific about where the blunt trauma was or how much time passed between the trauma and when he was found, etc… Any inquiries should be directed to the Wilmington police, who have already been told by two members of the city council to not waste their limited resources on the case.
William Colby, 76, former Director of the CIA, resided in a weekend home near Cobb Island, Maryland, 60 miles or so from Washington D.C. Colby came home one evening in April 1996, told his wife he was tired and intended to have a light meal before going to bed. He was shortly later seen watering a tree in his yard. Witnesses, including his gardener, last saw Colby outside about half an hour before sunset.
Nine days later his corpse was found in the water. The explanation offered the public was that the tired and hungry former director undertook to go canoe paddling, despite having a sailing vessel, at night, to commune with nature. I remember the news reports and of thinking they stank like rotting fish. They still stink.
There is a lot of information available regarding the Colby disappearance and alleged drowning. For me, to this day, I believe William Egan Colby was murdered by person or persons unknown. But I also believe person or persons unknown in the dark halls of government … know.
Wheeler could have been drugged, released, wandered around, then “blunt force traumed”.
But if the ME won’t release the tox report, will we ever know the true story? Or is that the point?
(In case there is any question about the last 2 questions, they were both rhetorical).
