The video has not been made public yet, but police have described its contents.
Newark (Del.) police say they obtained surveillance video from Dec. 30. 2010 that shows Wheeler exiting the Nemours building in Wilmington using the 11th Street exit.
After exiting the building, Wheeler begins to walk southeast on 11th Street past and through the Hotel DuPont valet parking area.
He continues southeast and crosses over Market Street and is last seen in camera view at 8:42 pm walking on the west sidewalk of 11th Street.
In the video, Wheeler is wearing dark colored pants and a dark blue hooded sweatshirt with the hood worn over his head.
In a previous composite video, Wheeler is seen wearing two other sets of clothes.
There has been little official information about Wheeler's death last week in Newark, Del., and how his body made it to a Wilmington landfill.
Based on what Fox 29 has learned, there are reports that police may be looking to or have talked with taxi drivers to see if they took Wheeler from Wilmington to Newark.
And Wheeler's friend, Richard Radez, told Fox News he thinks Wheeler had a reaction to prescription medication or had received the wrong medication, which caused him to become disoriented.
Radez thinks Wheeler found a ride to Wilmington and then ran into trouble.
Newark police released video Wednesday of a disoriented Wheeler walking around the Nemours building in Wilmington last Thursday.
Police are still looking for the public's help with the case.
The first video was taken inside the historic Nemours Building at 10th & Orange Streets in Wilmington on Thursday, December 30th.
Police say Wheeler “appears confused” on the video and he was in the building as late as 8:30 p.m. that night.
Police have say earlier in the day, Wheeler was approached inside this building by several individuals who offered assistance to him, which Mr. Wheeler declined.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Nicholas Sansone at 302-366-7110 ext. 135 or Nick.Sansone@cj.state.de.us.

Wheeler may have spent at least two days wandering the streets of Wilmington disoriented.
Police say Wheeler traveled from Washington, D.C., where he worked, to Wilmington Tuesday on an AMTRAK train. He was last seen alive at 8:42 p.m. on December 30 near the Hotel duPont parking garage at 10th and Orange streets.
Wheeler's body was found Friday morning at a Wilmington landfill – dumped there by a trash truck from Newark that picked up its load at 4:40 a.m.
Fox 29's Claudia Gomez spoke with witnesses in Wilmington who may have been among the last people to see him alive, a parking lot attendant and a security guard.
Newark police said Monday that they did determine a cause of death in the case and were not going to release it. Delaware officials said Tuesday, however, they don't have a cause of death yet. They're waiting for toxicology reports, but they are calling the death a homicide.

They're just finding this now??? Oh, I forgot, the Keystone Cops were investigating this story, and they've got their hands full...no help from the feds, what with hundreds of FBI agents sent to investigate the shooting in Arizona. But isn't that wonderful that they have this video showing him leaving the building ALIVE that houses the US Attorney's Office and Justice Department...but will we be able to recognize him in his blue hooded sweatshirt?
New Video Coming In John Wheeler Case
"just as soon as we finish making it"?? ....just like the Pentagon 911 film dated September 12, and just like the police video of Jerry and Joe Kane "shooting at police", even though the wife says those people were not Jerry and Joe, and the whole video was a re-enactment. This should be interesting...can't wait to see it.
