A new documentary airing on Peacock takes another look at the unsolved murder of Robert Wone, a D.C. attorney found stabbed to death in the home of his gay friend in 2006. “Who Killed Robert Wone” begins airing on March 7 in two parts.
Wone’s murder made sensational headlines in August 2006 after bizarre details about the stabbing began to emerge. Wone, who was married to a woman, was spending the night in the upscale townhome of his friends Joe Price and Victor Zaborsky and their roommate Dylan Ward.
All three are gay. Wone was found stabbed in the chest lying in bed; later, syringe marks were found on his neck suggesting he’d been drugged or incapacitated before being stabbed.
Police noted a surprising lack of blood at the scene, which led many to speculate the crime scene had been cleaned. Adding to the spectacle, police released details of a collection of S&M devices found in the home, prompting speculation Wone had been sexually assaulted.
