Dale Wheeler was last seen alive in the early morning hours of November 16, 2014, inside the AM/PM convenience store on Lemon Grove and San Miguel Avenues.

The 55-year-old exited minutes later, holding a coffee mug up to the attendant as a goodbye.
Just a few hours later, at approximately 7:23 a.m. a pedestrian walking across the street from the AM/PM found Wheeler’s body motionless, propped up against a chain link fence a few feet from the trolley tracks.
