On December 28, 2010, 66-year-old Jack Wheeler, a veteran and highly respected Washington D.C. consultant, abruptly left Manhattan, telling his wife he had urgent business in D.C. But instead of heading to D.C., Jack ended up in Wilmington, Delaware. For days, he was seen wandering the streets, disheveled and confused. Then, on the morning of December 31st, Jack’s body was found in a landfill. He had been the victim of a brutal murder, his body discarded in a dumpster and transported to the landfill by a trash truck.



Jack's murder shocked everyone who knew him, but despite extensive investigations, the circumstances surrounding his death remain shrouded in mystery.



It’s been over 13 years since Jack was murdered, and investigators are still searching for the person or people responsible...



Jack Wheeler was last seen on surveillance footage at 8:42 pm on December 30, 2010, walking away from the Nemours Building in Wilmington, Delaware. He headed southeast, toward the East Side of the city. At some point after that, Jack was murdered and his body was discarded in a commercial dumpster 16 miles away in Newark, Delaware.



Anyone with information is asked to contact Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or go to delawarecrimestoppers.com.
