Robert Wunderle was a vice president of Supermarkets General Corporation, then parent company of Pathmark. He was in charge of labor relations. His body was found in a ditch and the homicide remains unsolved.
A co-worker was the last person to see him alive around 8:45 PM on November 15, 1989. Wunderle was leaving Supermarkets General's office in Woodbridge, New Jersey. The next morning around 9:10 AM, a Rockaway Borough Department of Public Works employee discovered his body. He had been shot to death and left in a drainage ditch near Firemen's Field on Beech Street in Rockaway Borough, New Jersey.
Some months later, on January 22, 1990, the company car Wunderle was driving when he was last seen was discovered in a parking garage in New York City. Records showed it arrived in the early morning hours of November 16, 1989.
It is suspected corrupt Teamsters were responsible. He had been talking to reporters about the way his stores and their employees were being victimized by Teamsters extortionists.
