    I would kill myself in a place like that if I had the ambition to do so.

    Simply too early to tell, Fisher'.

    I was not on that train, and I had no reason to kill him. And who would have thought a dude that old could put up such a struggle? If, um, if I did it, that is.

    What?

    You mean like one of those Arkansas suicides where they beat themselves to death, in the back of their heads with a 2x4?

    Or like a Vince Forster suicide where he commits the act one place and dumps his body elsewhere?

    One can hardly rule that out of course.

    When quoting old conspiracy theories, it would be polite to spell the man's name right: Foster.

    Is anybody asking the obvious question about Wheeler's death? Cui bono?

    -edit-

    Okay, it gets stranger:

    Newark police say images of a visibly disoriented Wheeler, a 66-year-old Beltway insider who had worked in four presidential administrations, were captured on surveillance videotape in downtown Wilmington as late as 8:30 p.m. on December 30, the night before his body was spotted at a local landfill.

    The night before that, Wheeler, a West Point, Yale, and Harvard grad who helped create the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, wandered into a New Castle pharmacy at 6 p.m. and asked the startled pharmacist for a ride to the Wilmington train station, the Wilmington News Journal reported. Wheeler, who often commuted between Washington, New York, and Wilmington, owned a waterfront duplex that he inherited from his brother in the historic area known as Old New Castle, located about half a mile away.

    Forty minutes later, several employees of the New Castle County Courthouse parking garage noticed a disheveled Wheeler, without a coat and holding one shoe in his hand, searching for his car and a place to stay warm. After the former special assistant to the secretary of the Air Force’s body was discovered, his car was located in another Wilmington parking lot.

    Friends of Wheeler’s told The Daily Beast that they were unaware of any health problems that might be related to such uncharacteristic and bizarre behavior. Paul Linde, an emergency psychiatrist at the University of California San Francisco, said that disorientation that lasts for days can be caused by any number of medical or mental issues, including heart problems, stroke, stress, past mental illness, or a problem with medication.

    But Linde said he didn’t think that someone Wheeler’s age was a likely candidate for a first-time psychotic episode. “It sounds like he had a break from reality, but it is hard to speculate on what could have caused it,” he said.
