WASHINGTON
- It has been almost a year since Democratic National Committee staffer
Seth Rich was murdered in the nation's capital. There have been no
solid answers about why he was killed until now.
Rich was
shot and killed last July in Northwest D.C and
police
have suggested the killing in the District's Bloomingdale neighborhood
was a botched robbery. However, online conspiracy theories have tied the
murder to
Rich's work at the DNC.
Just two months shy of the one-year anniversary of Rich's death, FOX 5
has learned there is new information that could prove these theorists
right.
Rod Wheeler, a private investigator hired by the Rich family,
suggests there is tangible evidence on Rich's laptop that confirms he
was communicating with WikiLeaks prior to his death.
Now,
questions have been raised on why D.C. police, the lead agency on this
murder investigation for the past ten months, have insisted
this was a robbery gone bad when there appears to be no evidence to suggest that.
Wheeler,
a former D.C. police homicide detective, is running a parallel
investigation into Rich’s murder. He said he believes there is a
cover-up and the police department has been told to back down from the
investigation.
"The
police
department nor the FBI have been forthcoming,” said Wheeler. “They
haven't been cooperating at all. I believe that the answer to solving
his death lies on that computer, which I believe is either at the police
department or either at the FBI. I have been told both.”
When we
asked Wheeler if his sources have told him there is information that
links Rich to Wikileaks, he said, “Absolutely. Yeah. That's confirmed."
Wheeler
also told us, "I have a source inside the police department that has
looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Rod, we were told to stand
down on this case and I can’t share any information with you.’ Now, that
is highly unusual for a murder investigation, especially from a police
department. Again, I don’t think it comes from the chief’s office, but I
do believe there is a correlation between the mayor's office and the
DNC and that is the information that will come out [Tuesday].
