Almost a year ago, a DC staffer named Seth Rich was found dead, murdered in the Nations Capitol.

Seth was shot and killed, but for what? The family’s private investigator claims the DC staffer had contact with Wikileaks just before his murder.

Rod Wheeler, a private detective, hired by the Rich family, suggests there is tangible evidence on Rich’s laptop that confirms he was communicating with WikiLeaks before his death.

Just how deep is the corruption? Questions have raised regarding why the D.C. police, the lead agency on this murder investigation for the past ten months, have insisted this was a robbery gone wrong when there appears to be no evidence to suggest that.

Wheeler, a former DC police homicide detective, who is running a parallel investigation, believes that there is a cover-up underway for his murder.

“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 Fox News; “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].
