Bush's administration is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the capture of his killer, the family's attorney said.
The body of John Wheeler III was found in a Wilmington landfill on New Year's Eve, after it fell from a trash truck dumping refuse picked up in Newark, Delaware.

They "have no idea what's happened, what caused a violent death," the attorney said in a videotape interview posted online on Sunday on delawareonline.com, a web site operated by The News Journal newspaper.
He said the family only learned the medical examiner's findings on the cause of death last week from the media.
"There's all sorts of speculation, and then they're operating in the dark. The authorities are not sharing information with them at this point," said Connolly.
