  USCA1 Opinion 03-1823
The Wheelers said in their respective affidavits that tensions had arisen in the family since Roger's murder and that they communicated very little among themselves, particularly concerning the painful subject of the murder.
Had the Wheelers inquired further, the requisite facts were present in the Boston and Oklahoma television and press coverage to allow a reasonable person to infer a causal connection between the FBI's actions and Roger Wheeler's murder.
Patricia Wheeler (Roger's widow) saw the "60 Minutes" program in May 1998 and some of the Oklahoma press articles; they were sufficient at least to trigger a duty to inquire before the May 11, 1999 critical date, painful as the subject was to her.

 Feds argue Wheeler kin too late with damage suit
Their millionaire father was executed at his golf course by Boston gangsters working as informants for the FBI, but now the Justice Department says the Wheeler family and other victims of James ``Whitey'' Bulger's gang should get nothing for their losses.
DOJ attorneys submitted Roger's son David Wheeler's May 1998 interview with ``60 Minutes,'' along with a pile of newspaper clips and Tulsa TV news reports, as proof the family knew they had a claim and missed their shot.
The legal move heaped more agony on Wheeler's widow and children, according to their attorney, but came as little surprise to a family who believe their own government has spent 20 years protecting their father's killers.
