Case 188

Robert Wone

On August 2 2006, 32-year-old lawyer Robert Wone knocked off after a long day at his office in Washington DC. To save making the journey home so late at night, he arranged to stay at a friend’s house.  He arrived at 10:30 pm and was warmly welcomed inside. 

Barely 90 minutes later, Robert was found stabbed to death on a fold-out sofa bed. The three occupants of the house – Joseph Price, Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Ward – blamed an unknown intruder. However, the crime scene told a different story.
