Crime Junkie: The Robert Wone Case Nobody Solved

Washington, D.C., August 2006. Robert Wone, a 32-year-old attorney, stays overnight with friends in their Dupont Circle home. Hours later, he's dead. The three men living there say they heard nothing. Then came the 911 call.

This Crime Junkie episode, hosted by Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat, walks through the case of Robert Wone's murder. Police arrived to a scene that didn't add up. Investigators said the house looked cleaned up. Prosecutors argued it had been staged to hide what happened. And the men who lived there kept their account tight, even as the questions piled up.

The case is a lesson in how a murder can be investigated, argued over and tried, and still end without an answer. Joseph Price, Victor Zaborsky and Dylan Ward were charged with obstruction, conspiracy and evidence tampering. They did not stand trial for the killing itself. In 2010 a judge acquitted all three at a bench trial. Nobody has been convicted of Wone's murder.

So who killed Robert Wone? And why did three people in that house tell a story police never believed? Press play tonight and listen on Apple Podcasts, or find it wherever you get your podcasts.
