Rod Wheeler was on Fox News today. He use to be a detective with DC and investigated the Chandra Levy case and the Beltway sniper. He is writing a book on "high profile cases". I assume that it will include Chandra. Anyobe ever heard of him?

Never heard of him, but I might try writing him.

He was ex DC detective in 2000, was detective at least during early 90's:


As D.C. Police Falter, Revenge Fills the Void
By Barbara Vobejda and Ira Chinoy
Washington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, December 5, 2000

(snip)

"There was no major drug king," said Rod Wheeler, a former D.C. police
homicide detective. The killings, he said, "were more haphazard. It's more
of a way of life."

(snip)

Early on a February afternoon in 1993, Skeeter, 17, was sitting in a Ford
Escort on Sayles Place SE, a couple of blocks from Barry Farms. Three men dressed in dark clothes, two wearing masks, walked up and started firing, according to police reports. In less than an hour, Skeeter died at D.C. General Hospital.

(snip)

Former detective Rod Wheeler said he learned who killed Skeeter from a
source involved in the shooting. But Wheeler didn't know until a reporter
told him recently that the case against Miles and the other two had been
dismissed. "It's not because of the work of the officer," he said.
"Something happened on the U.S. attorney's office side."

That office ran into "severe problems" putting together a prosecution, said
Eric Acker, a former assistant U.S. attorney. The lack of willing, credible
witnesses and any other strong evidence left Acker in a "quagmire," he said.

(snip)



What did he say on the show, blondie?

Heck we have shootings like that all the time in Sacramento. At least they make the news here. In San Francisco I think you could get killed and be lucky to make the obituaries.

I don't know if all of those people know each other or not. Another fast way to go around here is to get hit by a drunken driver. One young woman was killed this week by a DUI (I am not used to those terms). She was a pedestrian walking with her sister.

Another teenage girl got shot in the stomach this week, but she survived. I don't know who is doing all of that. I guess I keep up with the wrong cases, like the Scott Peterson case. By the time he ever reaches the execution stage many many people will have been killed by drunk drivers and by drive by shootings.

I don't think the police can stop that. It is going to take a lot of preachers. If the evil ones don't like the Godly atmosphere they can leave town..

rd - He was commenting on the US atty being killed. The caption below him said he had worked on the Chandra case and the sniper case and that he was writing a book about high profile cases.

ahhh, thanks blondie. Shame about that DA, he was really a great guy from what I read. I'm sure our country will not be safe until all parolees, sex offenders, and people out on bond are electronically monitored. It's just a matter of how many more good people we must watch die until we decide people like that can't run loose and terroize our country.

Concerning Rod Wheeler, it was the same with Chandra's case. Several ex-detectives were interviewed, so many in fact that one had to wonder what was left of the DC detective force. We can see the results.

That's interesting about writing a book about high profile cases. That's a broad subject. Anyway, an insider's look at Chandra's case will certainly be helpful. Thanks for the heads up, blondie.

Your welcome rd. I can't wait to read it. If he helped investigate it, he probably knows alot more than we do.

He must have assisted on those cases on contract or something, I think.
