My interview with Smile Talk with Jacob
On the night of August 2, 2006, 32-year-old attorney Robert Wone was found fatally stabbed in the guest room of a friend’s home in Washington, D.C., under circumstances that remain deeply mysterious. Wone had been staying overnight at the home of college friend Joseph Price, who lived there with his partner Victor Zaborsky and their housemate Dylan Ward. The three men claimed an unknown intruder broke in, stabbed Robert, and fled—yet there were no signs of forced entry, and their behavior after the crime raised suspicions. An autopsy revealed precise knife wounds and signs that Robert may have been incapacitated before his death, possibly through chemical restraint, though toxicology was inconclusive. The case garnered national attention due to its eerie details, the unusual domestic arrangement in the house, and the fact that the three men were later charged—not with murder, but with obstruction of justice and conspiracy. They were ultimately acquitted, and to this day, no one has been held criminally responsible for Robert Wone’s death.
