Police investigating the death of 66-year-old John P. Wheeler III of New Castle have obtained four separate search warrants involving his home, car and cell phone.
"They're not going to release the seal on any of the warrants right now, I can tell you that," Lt. Mark Farrall, a spokesman for the Newark Police Department, said Wednesday.
Farrall also said authorities will not release any of the video surveillance tapes investigators have looked at, including one of Wheeler in downtown Wilmington the night before his body was found among a load of trash being dumped at the Wilmington landfill on the morning of Dec. 31.
