There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....

On today’s Dark Enigma, we’re going to be jumping into an unexplained and unsolved murder. Today we’re going to be looking at the death of a man who served under three US presidents and had an illustrious career in politics. Yet, when we dive in, you’ll see the truly bizarre circumstances around this poor man’s passing. There have been many deaths which have rocketed into the stratosphere of strangeness and unsolved mysteries. These are the people who have left corpses behind but few answers to how or why they have met their demise, indeed often leaving behind puzzling clues that only seem to deepen the enigma. One such death was that of a highly regarded, eminent figure of government in the United States whose bizarre and sudden death has left in its wake a swirling quagmire of baffling clues, odd evidence, and creepy, inexplicable security footage, none of which have led to any solution to the persistent conundrum. It is an unsolved crime that has gone on to be hotly debated and discussed to this very day, and with which we are left scratching our heads.

By all accounts, John Wheeler III was an incredibly well respected member of the U.S. government. He graduated from West Point, Harvard, and Yale and had an impressive resume to say the least. Throughout his career he served as a decorated Army officer, a Washington consultant in many capacities, a lawyer, a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, a special assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, as well as serving in the office of the Secretary of Defense, as a presidential aide throughout the terms of three separate presidential administrations, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. and George W. Bush, as well as the outspoken CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and also holding the title of Special Assistant to the Acting Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Logistics and Environment, and most recently as a military consultant for the defense contractor the Mitre Corporation, which deals primarily in cyber defense. Some of his great accomplishments include getting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall built, and penning an in-depth manual on the effects of biological and chemical weapons, which he was against and strongly proposed be pursued with the utmost restraint.
