On December 31, 2010, the body of John “Jack” Wheeler III — a decorated West Point graduate, Vietnam veteran, and former White House aide — was found at the Cherry Island Landfill in Delaware. What began as a clear-cut homicide quickly unraveled into one of the most bizarre unsolved mysteries in American history.
