Surveillance video shows an apparently disoriented John Wheeler inside a Wilmington, Delaware office building. The former presidential aide was later found dead in a landfill. (Jan. 5)


Yet Wheeler appears to me to be signaling to and pointing at someone...

1. Not Disoriented

Sure looks like he was waiting for someone, pointed to whoever it was, went down stairs to meet whoever it was. The front door was locked so he went to the elevator, to likely go to underground parking lot.

5. When he walks into the second hallway,

he seems to touch things to his right. He is definitely not walking in a straight line. He does seem quite confused. You can't help but wonder where he came from and why he only has one shoe and is carrying and not wearing that shoe.

He walks to the end of the hall and then just closes the door. Hard to say why. Maybe the open door was causing the person behind the desk to be cold, and he was asked if he would close it. He flails his arms. Maybe he was upset that he couldn't get outside through a door.

He looks either slightly tipsy or perhaps ill. Maybe he had a small stroke. Maybe someone hit him or drugged him. He seems able to walk, but is a little dazed.

I am very sorry for his family. They must be going through a lot of pain right now.

2. Is he carrying his shoe?

3. 2 days before homicide

This video was recorded two days before his body was found, according to CNN in http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/05/delaware.pentagon.official.death/index.html?hpt=C1">this article.

It also says "Wheeler's body was seen jutting out of a garbage truck Friday at the landfill by a spotter whose job it is to ensure that hazardous material is not dumped there."

Also, he is indeed carrying his shoe and apparently he was looking for his car.

4. Very strange

Looks like an old Alfred Hitchcock movie

6. I noticed a limp, & he seemed to be anxious about something when looking out the window.

7. Why is the camera moving?

Isn't a surveillance camera usually on a fixed mount?

[BadGimp]

11. good catch

that was my first critical observation

since when is the camera supposed to move?

we were meant to see this imo

8. I think he looks scared and frantic.

I think he's limping and that injury is adding to his panic. I wonder if he was being blackmailed and/or tortured, coerced into something? That kind of pressure - perhaps for Top Secret info - could make someone appear disoriented. :shrug:

I'll be interested to see what the coroner's report has to say.

9. how could they think he was a homeless guy?

how many homeless guys have you seen dressed like that??

10. Nowadays...... NT

12. perhaps being followed or thinks he is

who took his briefcase? was he attacked?
whats with the shoe?
they ruled homicide so he did not kill himself
robbers dont bother to dump bodies but a hit man might
said tape provided by dupont do they mean the chem company? orwhat?
there are ?s and i also would not use the media word 'disorientated'for this tape
