I'd be interested to know the winds aloft at the time. Wake turbulence is most dangerous when the air is very still because wind turbulence breaks up and dissipates the vortices. There was Lear 35 that crashed in Mexico City a few years ago when it hit wake turbulence of the preceding heavy, and that was on a calm evening with very stable air.
