Sheriff's Office releases identity of man found hanged in Seville; hanging victim was sexual predator

To many facts say this is not a suicide, so we will leave in this blog as a murder! Checked for further update in 2015, 2016; nothing found.

1-14-2014 Florida:

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of 50-year-old Andrew C. Mayer in Seville. Mayer's body was found hanging from a tree Jan. 11. The Sheriff's Office reported Jan. 11 that the Major Case Unit was investigating Mayer's death; however, Mayer's name was not released at that time.

A call reporting the body came in at about 11:26 a.m. Jan. 11 from an unnamed acquaintance of Mayer's who said she found Mayer's body a couple of hundred yards into a wooded lot near the intersection of Lemon Road and Church Street in Seville.

An autopsy was completed Jan. 13, but the cause of death and other details have not yet been released.

A Beacon search revealed that an Andrew C. Mayer or Andrew Christopher Mayer, date of birth Nov. 7, 1963 — the same date of birth listed for the Andrew C. Mayer found hanged — is listed as a sexual predator by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and has an address of 316 Chipola Dr. in DeLand. The Department of Corrections website shows that Mayer was released from prison July 31, 2013. He had been convicted in 2001 of a sexual act of coercion by an adult on a child in a 2000 case in Charlotte.

Sheriff's Office spokesman Brandon Haught confirmed that the Andrew Christopher Mayer identified as a sexual predator is the same person as the Andrew C. Mayer found hanged.

A Keene man was found dead inside his home at 170 Pearl St. in Keene Saturday night, according to the N.H. Attorney General’s Office.

David E. Wheelock, 48, was the victim of an apparent homicide, N.H. Assistant Attorney General Benjamin J. Agati wrote in a news release issued Sunday.

Agati said in an interview with The Sentinel that Wheelock was shot and killed at his home just after 9 p.m. It is unclear how many shots may have been fired.

At approximately 9:28 p.m., Keene police responded to the Pearl Street residence for a medical call. That’s when they found Wheelock dead at an undisclosed location inside the home.

Lawrence Root, Wheelock’s friend and former roommate, told WMUR that an upstairs neighbor told him that he heard a knock on the door just before 9:30 p.m. Within seconds, he said, someone had fired a gun and quickly escaped the home. Wheelock was found dead in the kitchen, Root told the news outlet.

The office of the Chief Medical Examiner is expected to conduct an autopsy today to determine the cause and manner of death. Agati said he is not sure whether the results of the autopsy will be available for release to the public this afternoon or Tuesday.

As of this morning, police had not arrested anyone in connection with the shooting, Agati said.
