Julie Wheeler and Rodney Wheeler were arrested Tuesday on multiple charges including conspiracy and giving false information to West Virginia State Police. The family claimed Julie Wheeler had fallen from the main overlook at the New River Gorge National River, National Park Service Ranger Leah Perkowski-Sisk said. Authorities searched for Julie Wheeler for days but found her Tuesday “alive and well” hiding in a closet in her home. A criminal complaint said Rodney Wheeler and his son planted items at the Grandview Overlook to fake Julie Wheeler’s disappearance. Julie Wheeler pleaded guilty to federal health care fraud in February after an investigation into “pill mill” clinic operations.
