1
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:15,892
I've always likened this murder
to a jigsaw puzzle.

2
00:00:15,892 --> 00:00:20,104
But you don't know
how many pieces there are.

3
00:00:20,104 --> 00:00:22,899
There are lost pieces.

4
00:00:22,899 --> 00:00:26,277
There are pieces
that are----in' lying to you.

5
00:00:28,321 --> 00:00:32,742
It's very much.
like the movie "Clue,"

6
00:00:32,742 --> 00:00:34,077
with Miss Scarlet

7
00:00:34,077 --> 00:00:38,164
with the knife in
the second floor bedroom.

8
00:00:38,164 --> 00:00:41,375
We just don't know who
Miss Scarlet is.

9
00:00:43,836 --> 00:00:47,799
There were four people
in the house that night.

10
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:49,175
When the lights went out,

11
00:00:49,175 --> 00:00:51,719
everybody was alive.

12
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:53,137
79 minutes later,

13
00:00:53,137 --> 00:00:55,431
the lights go back on.

14
00:00:55,431 --> 00:00:59,519
One person is dead
and three people are saying,

15
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:01,312
"Not me."

16
00:01:03,231 --> 00:01:05,191
- It's the craziest
- ing story.

17
00:01:05,191 --> 00:01:08,111
It will absolutely
curl your hair.

18
00:01:13,449 --> 00:01:15,618
Where do we begin?

19
00:01:15,618 --> 00:01:18,496
The body of attorney
Robert Wone

20
00:01:18,496 --> 00:01:23,459
was found stabbed to death
inside his friend's home.

21
00:01:23,459 --> 00:01:25,420
Police say someone broke
into this row house

22
00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:28,464
and fatally stabbed
32-year-old Robert Wone.

23
00:01:28,464 --> 00:01:31,968
A high-profile murder case that
turned a Dupont Circle townhouse

24
00:01:31,968 --> 00:01:33,594
into the center of a mystery.

25
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:36,431
The murder has been
the talk of DC for years.

26
00:01:36,431 --> 00:01:39,016
Detectives believe Robert
was sexually assaulted

27
00:01:39,016 --> 00:01:40,309
and then murdered.

28
00:01:40,309 --> 00:01:42,270
Three DC men accused
of covering up

29
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:44,105
the murder
of their friend, Robert Wone.

30
00:01:44,105 --> 00:01:47,150
One four guys in a house,
one guy ends up dead.

31
00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:49,527
The other three saying,
"I didn't do it."

32
00:01:49,527 --> 00:01:52,405
It's quite a mystery we got
working here.

33
00:01:52,405 --> 00:01:54,699
The big question is...

34
00:02:12,091 --> 00:02:14,218
DC emergency, 9-1-1.

35
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:03,726
It was 2006.

36
00:03:03,726 --> 00:03:07,230
I was chief of homicide
at the US Attorney's Office.

37
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:09,565
So, literally,
it landed on my desk.

38
00:03:09,565 --> 00:03:11,818
Robert Wone,
a 32-year-old lawyer,

39
00:03:11,818 --> 00:03:14,404
decided to spend the night
with three friends.

40
00:03:14,404 --> 00:03:16,697
79 minutes after arriving,

41
00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:22,453
one of his friends called 9-1-1,
saying Wone had been stabbed.

42
00:03:25,164 --> 00:03:26,874
After 30 years as a prosecutor

43
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:29,127
trying
more than 50 murder trials,

44
00:03:29,127 --> 00:03:31,129
if I had to pick one case

45
00:03:31,129 --> 00:03:34,298
that could accurately
be called my white whale,

46
00:03:34,298 --> 00:03:36,759
it would be this one.

47
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:39,512
I tried more murder cases
than anybody in the history

48
00:03:39,512 --> 00:03:41,389
of the Department of Justice.

49
00:03:41,389 --> 00:03:44,350
The thing that's different
from all the other murder cases

50
00:03:44,350 --> 00:03:46,018
that I handled...

51
00:03:46,018 --> 00:03:48,980
is everything.

52
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:52,442
The average lawyer
has tried 20 cases.

53
00:03:52,442 --> 00:03:54,861
I have tried about 160.

54
00:03:54,861 --> 00:03:56,612
A lot of them homicides.

55
00:03:56,612 --> 00:03:59,824
This case has more questions
than it has answers.

56
00:04:01,826 --> 00:04:05,413
Four people in a house
and one person dead.

57
00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:06,998
These are ones where you wake up

58
00:04:06,998 --> 00:04:08,666
in the middle of
the night and say,

59
00:04:08,666 --> 00:04:10,710
"What the hell happened?"

60
00:04:12,462 --> 00:04:14,630
This murder happened
in our neighborhood

61
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:16,883
Four blocks from me,
three blocks from you.

62
00:04:16,883 --> 00:04:18,885
And we were
instantly drawn into it.

63
00:04:18,885 --> 00:04:22,138
It started out, "Okay,
let's do a blog."

64
00:04:22,138 --> 00:04:25,641
Peeling back the layers
of the players involved,

65
00:04:25,641 --> 00:04:30,855
the 79-minute timeline,
the how, the why,

66
00:04:30,855 --> 00:04:35,610
it seemed like a very, very ugly
seedy sex crime.

67
00:04:35,610 --> 00:04:40,323
Investigators, forensics
experts, true crime jocks--

68
00:04:40,323 --> 00:04:42,825
nobody's seen anything
like this one.

69
00:04:45,995 --> 00:04:49,040
As compared to what
you hear on the 9-1-1 call...

70
00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:54,504
...hysterical, you know,

71
00:04:54,504 --> 00:04:57,048
gasping for air,
very emotional...

72
00:04:59,384 --> 00:05:02,720
{\an8}...by the time the EMTs arrive...

73
00:05:06,557 --> 00:05:11,187
...there is a very different
story going on in the house.

74
00:05:14,941 --> 00:05:18,152
At the time of this incident on
Swann Street,

75
00:05:18,152 --> 00:05:20,196
I had been working
for the fire department

76
00:05:20,196 --> 00:05:24,367
for about a decade and a half
as an EMT and as a paramedic.

77
00:05:24,367 --> 00:05:27,745
We arrived at the scene
at 11:54 PM.

78
00:05:30,289 --> 00:05:33,418
I noticed a gentleman
standing on the front stoop.

79
00:05:33,418 --> 00:05:36,254
He was wearing a white robe.

80
00:05:36,254 --> 00:05:40,091
And he said,
"Stabbing on the second floor."

81
00:05:40,091 --> 00:05:43,428
His head was down,
his eyes were closed,

82
00:05:43,428 --> 00:05:45,930
and he wouldn't turn toward me.

83
00:05:49,434 --> 00:05:51,185
As I went up the steps,

84
00:05:51,185 --> 00:05:55,565
I encountered
a second occupant of the house.

85
00:05:55,565 --> 00:05:57,400
He was wearing a white towel
around him.

86
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,654
And I said, "What's going on?"
He turned and we locked eyes.

87
00:06:03,114 --> 00:06:07,618
And then, he went into a rear
bedroom and closed the door

88
00:06:07,618 --> 00:06:09,537
and didn't say nothing.

89
00:06:09,537 --> 00:06:12,248
My antennas went up.

90
00:06:12,248 --> 00:06:15,251
I could tell my adrenaline
was kicking in.

91
00:06:15,251 --> 00:06:17,962
I started to sweat.

92
00:06:17,962 --> 00:06:20,798
When I approached that
front bedroom from the hallway,

93
00:06:20,798 --> 00:06:24,218
I noticed
a man in his underwear.

94
00:06:24,218 --> 00:06:25,970
He had his back toward me.

95
00:06:25,970 --> 00:06:31,350
He stands up and he says,
"I heard a scream."

96
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:35,730
That's when I encounter a victim
laying in the bed.

97
00:06:35,730 --> 00:06:38,107
And I saw
three large stab wounds.

98
00:06:38,107 --> 00:06:40,693
And no blood,
no blood on the bed,

99
00:06:40,693 --> 00:06:44,030
no blood on the patient,
no blood around him.

100
00:06:44,030 --> 00:06:47,158
I'm thinking, oh, my goodness,
something ain't right here.

101
00:06:47,158 --> 00:06:51,913
I could feel the hair
stand up on the back of my neck.

102
00:06:51,913 --> 00:06:55,041
Jeff Baker said, "The hair on
the back of my neck stood up."

103
00:06:55,041 --> 00:06:58,669
The EMT said, "It looked like
Robert had been stabbed,

104
00:06:58,669 --> 00:07:02,131
showered, and placed
in the bed."

105
00:07:03,633 --> 00:07:05,927
When we got him in the back
of a medic unit,

106
00:07:05,927 --> 00:07:08,679
I looked down at his chest,

107
00:07:08,679 --> 00:07:11,224
and I noticed surgical incisions,

108
00:07:11,224 --> 00:07:12,934
something you see a doctor do.

109
00:07:12,934 --> 00:07:15,103
And it looked like
he had been wiped down

110
00:07:15,103 --> 00:07:16,687
with a sheet or towel.

111
00:07:16,687 --> 00:07:18,648
I put him on the monitor.

112
00:07:18,648 --> 00:07:21,692
No heart activity, no pulse.

113
00:07:21,692 --> 00:07:23,945
He's already bled out.

114
00:07:26,030 --> 00:07:28,991
We brought
Robert Wone to the hospital,

115
00:07:28,991 --> 00:07:32,537
and he was pronounced dead
at 12:25 AM.

116
00:07:38,501 --> 00:07:43,965
I was in homicide for
about two years at the time.

117
00:07:43,965 --> 00:07:47,552
It's definitely not the type
of scene we were used to,

118
00:07:47,552 --> 00:07:50,346
or at least I was used to.

119
00:07:50,346 --> 00:07:51,848
When I got there,

120
00:07:51,848 --> 00:07:55,268
the officers, they make sure
the scene's secure.

121
00:07:55,268 --> 00:08:00,231
And the paramedics have already
transported the decedent.

122
00:08:00,231 --> 00:08:01,858
When I first walked in,

123
00:08:01,858 --> 00:08:04,736
it's a million-plus-dollar
townhouse,

124
00:08:04,736 --> 00:08:08,239
very well decorated, very clean.

125
00:08:08,239 --> 00:08:10,366
The three guys
that were in the house,

126
00:08:10,366 --> 00:08:12,118
they had white robes on.

127
00:08:12,118 --> 00:08:15,121
Not necessarily something
that you expect to see.

128
00:08:15,121 --> 00:08:18,374
When the homicide detectives
arrive on the scene,

129
00:08:18,374 --> 00:08:22,670
they all instantly sensed
that something was very off.

130
00:08:22,670 --> 00:08:28,593
You have three guys who are in
crisp, white terrycloth robes

131
00:08:28,593 --> 00:08:31,387
appearing as if they
had just showered.

132
00:08:31,387 --> 00:08:34,223
Some of them still had
the wet hair slicked back.

133
00:08:34,223 --> 00:08:36,309
They looked like
they just stepped out

134
00:08:36,309 --> 00:08:38,394
of a good executive steam.

135
00:08:38,394 --> 00:08:42,273
I learned that the three guys
were Joe Price,

136
00:08:42,273 --> 00:08:46,110
Dylan Ward, and Victor Zaborsky,

137
00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:48,946
and they all lived
in the house together.

138
00:08:48,946 --> 00:08:51,282
Joe, he was the talker.

139
00:08:51,282 --> 00:08:54,118
The whole story was
somebody broke in

140
00:08:54,118 --> 00:08:56,245
and murdered
their friend, Robert,

141
00:08:56,245 --> 00:08:58,915
who happened to be
staying the night.

142
00:08:58,915 --> 00:09:02,710
Joe says they hear some grunts
or a scream...

143
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,756
...and they come
upon their friend

144
00:09:06,756 --> 00:09:08,216
dead in their guest room

145
00:09:08,216 --> 00:09:12,428
with three gaping chest wounds
and then call 9-1-1.

146
00:09:12,428 --> 00:09:15,056
Joe gave me the story of,
"There was an intruder.

147
00:09:15,056 --> 00:09:17,767
Somebody must have come in
through the back door,"

148
00:09:17,767 --> 00:09:20,770
that just happened
to be unlocked.

149
00:09:20,770 --> 00:09:25,024
And nobody hears anybody
come into the house.

150
00:09:25,024 --> 00:09:29,946
"There was an intruder."
I mean, really, who says that?

151
00:09:29,946 --> 00:09:32,532
You say, "Somebody
broke into my house.

152
00:09:32,532 --> 00:09:36,411
They stabbed my friend."
It's just weird.

153
00:09:36,411 --> 00:09:39,789
At some point,
Dylan went to say something

154
00:09:39,789 --> 00:09:43,960
and Joe gave him a look like...

155
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,837
"Enough."

156
00:09:45,837 --> 00:09:48,297
Dylan knew what that look meant

157
00:09:48,297 --> 00:09:51,134
and stopped talking.

158
00:09:51,134 --> 00:09:55,930
I could tell, at that moment,
that Joe was in charge.

159
00:09:55,930 --> 00:09:59,267
We had no idea if these
three guys had anything to do

160
00:09:59,267 --> 00:10:00,393
with it at this point.

161
00:10:00,393 --> 00:10:02,562
So the three guys
that were in the house

162
00:10:02,562 --> 00:10:05,898
were ultimately transported down
to the Violent Crimes Branch

163
00:10:05,898 --> 00:10:09,902
to be interviewed
by the detectives in my squad.

164
00:10:09,902 --> 00:10:13,030
As the lead detective,
I stayed on the scene.

165
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:16,909
I walk up to the second floor

166
00:10:16,909 --> 00:10:20,204
and to the bedroom
where the scene is.

167
00:10:22,623 --> 00:10:24,083
It was shocking.

168
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:28,463
There's just a little bit
of blood on the pullout bed.

169
00:10:28,463 --> 00:10:30,840
There's something wrong here.

170
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,302
Where's the rest of it?

171
00:10:34,302 --> 00:10:38,514
This is not what I expected
to see from a stabbing scene.

172
00:10:38,514 --> 00:10:42,727
Two bloodstains on a sheet
and no other blood anywhere.

173
00:10:42,727 --> 00:10:45,396
You don't just take three
to the chest

174
00:10:45,396 --> 00:10:48,149
and lay there and die.

175
00:10:48,149 --> 00:10:52,403
On the floor, there is a towel.
Little to no blood on it.

176
00:10:52,403 --> 00:10:55,573
Again, I'm looking at the scene.
Where is the blood?

177
00:10:55,573 --> 00:10:58,910
Next to the bed, on
the nightstand, was the knife.

178
00:10:58,910 --> 00:11:01,496
It's got just
a little bit of blood on it.

179
00:11:01,496 --> 00:11:02,997
The mobile crime guy said,

180
00:11:02,997 --> 00:11:07,210
"Hey, the knife's from a knife
set in the kitchen."

181
00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:09,379
At the foot of the bed,
on the desk,

182
00:11:09,379 --> 00:11:11,756
was Robert's clothes
neatly folded

183
00:11:11,756 --> 00:11:13,925
with his wallet
and his BlackBerry.

184
00:11:13,925 --> 00:11:17,136
The bed comforter
had a perfect crease.

185
00:11:17,136 --> 00:11:19,013
The pillow was
at the head of the bed

186
00:11:19,013 --> 00:11:22,725
with, you know, a perfect head indentation.

187
00:11:22,725 --> 00:11:24,519
Nothing was out of place.

188
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:27,063
Nothing out of the ordinary
that would say

189
00:11:27,063 --> 00:11:29,941
that there was a murder
that occurred here.

190
00:11:31,943 --> 00:11:35,905
I've seen murder cases
involving one stab wound,

191
00:11:35,905 --> 00:11:39,409
and the crime scene
looks like a slaughterhouse.

192
00:11:39,409 --> 00:11:41,661
There's blood everywhere.

193
00:11:41,661 --> 00:11:46,374
This was completely inconsistent
with a violent stabbing.

194
00:11:48,167 --> 00:11:52,588
They knew there is a lot more
to this story.

195
00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:55,049
Where was all the blood?

196
00:11:56,342 --> 00:11:59,929
The detectives walked
into a very surreal scene.

197
00:11:59,929 --> 00:12:02,098
The odd behavior.

198
00:12:02,098 --> 00:12:05,059
All three of the roommates in
white bathrobes...

199
00:12:05,059 --> 00:12:08,771
- Appeared freshly showered.
- ...freshly showered.

200
00:12:08,771 --> 00:12:11,357
Very little blood on the bed.

201
00:12:13,276 --> 00:12:16,112
What the---- was going on here?

202
00:12:25,288 --> 00:12:28,624
As police work inside
this Dupont Circle row house,

203
00:12:28,624 --> 00:12:30,710
they are trying to determine
what happened

204
00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:33,671
to 32-year-old Robert Wone,
the prominent

205
00:12:33,671 --> 00:12:37,008
Asian-American attorney
found stabbed inside

206
00:12:37,008 --> 00:12:40,678
his friend's house
late Wednesday night.

207
00:12:40,678 --> 00:12:42,722
Back in August of 2006,

208
00:12:42,722 --> 00:12:45,683
I was a reporter
and I covered the crime beat.

209
00:12:45,683 --> 00:12:48,644
Robert Wone,
he decides to spend the night

210
00:12:48,644 --> 00:12:50,605
with friends that he knew.

211
00:12:50,605 --> 00:12:54,400
Within an hour, he's dead.

212
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,696
From there, the story is why?
Why was Robert stabbed?

213
00:12:58,696 --> 00:13:01,657
Who did it? He was only there
to spend the night,

214
00:13:01,657 --> 00:13:03,993
and he somehow got murdered.

215
00:13:03,993 --> 00:13:07,497
The night of August 2nd, 2006,
Kathy Wone,

216
00:13:07,497 --> 00:13:10,416
the widow of Robert Wone,
described getting a late-night

217
00:13:10,416 --> 00:13:12,835
phone call from
her husband's friend, Joe Price.

218
00:13:12,835 --> 00:13:14,379
His words were, "Kathy,

219
00:13:14,379 --> 00:13:16,422
I can't believe
I'm calling you about this,

220
00:13:16,422 --> 00:13:19,926
but you have to get to George
Washington University Hospital.

221
00:13:19,926 --> 00:13:22,136
Robert has been stabbed."

222
00:13:23,805 --> 00:13:27,809
Joe Price was the first person
to call Kathy Wone.

223
00:13:27,809 --> 00:13:31,020
It was shortly after midnight
to say Robert was stabbed.

224
00:13:31,020 --> 00:13:32,980
But Kathy doesn't learn
Robert is dead

225
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:36,275
until she arrived
at the hospital.

226
00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:38,319
Kathy called me the next
morning to tell me

227
00:13:38,319 --> 00:13:40,530
that Robert had spent
the night in Joe's house

228
00:13:40,530 --> 00:13:45,326
and that there was an intruder
and the intruder killed Robert.

229
00:13:49,288 --> 00:13:52,291
And I felt like
I got hit by a truck.

230
00:13:52,291 --> 00:13:54,252
Robert was an amazing person.

231
00:13:54,252 --> 00:13:56,337
I don't understand, to this day,

232
00:13:56,337 --> 00:13:59,090
why that was
Robert's time to go.

233
00:14:00,675 --> 00:14:02,427
Really don't.

234
00:14:09,267 --> 00:14:12,770
{\an8}Matron of Honor, escorted
by the Best Man,

235
00:14:12,770 --> 00:14:14,522
{\an8}Mr. Robert Wone.

236
00:14:14,522 --> 00:14:17,066
{\an8}Robert was murdered
two months after

237
00:14:17,066 --> 00:14:20,069
{\an8}he gave the best man
speech at our wedding.

238
00:14:21,821 --> 00:14:24,782
I am furious and enraged.

239
00:14:24,782 --> 00:14:27,410
I am...

240
00:14:27,410 --> 00:14:29,036
gutted...

241
00:14:29,036 --> 00:14:31,372
that my husband
lost his best friend.

242
00:14:31,372 --> 00:14:34,751
{\an8}Good. Darcey, look adoringly.
That's it. That will do.

243
00:14:34,751 --> 00:14:38,796
Robert was one of those people
who was just fun to be around.

244
00:14:38,796 --> 00:14:42,216
He had witty things to say.
He had insightful thoughts.

245
00:14:42,216 --> 00:14:46,721
He was just one of those people
who was always good to talk to.

246
00:14:46,721 --> 00:14:51,726
He grew up in Brooklyn,
went to Catholic school,

247
00:14:51,726 --> 00:14:54,187
got interested in politics
and public policy

248
00:14:54,187 --> 00:14:55,438
when he was in high school,

249
00:14:55,438 --> 00:14:57,899
and then wound up at
William and Mary.

250
00:14:57,899 --> 00:14:59,442
Robert was my best friend.

251
00:14:59,442 --> 00:15:02,945
Met him my first week--
first week at William and Mary.

252
00:15:02,945 --> 00:15:04,530
He was my friend
all through college

253
00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:08,826
and my roommate for
a couple of years here in DC.

254
00:15:08,826 --> 00:15:11,329
There was a secret society at
William and Mary.

255
00:15:11,329 --> 00:15:13,372
It's called the 13 Club.

256
00:15:13,372 --> 00:15:15,416
The club's purpose
was to engage

257
00:15:15,416 --> 00:15:18,086
in anonymous acts of kindness.

258
00:15:18,086 --> 00:15:19,629
There was a special bond
among people

259
00:15:19,629 --> 00:15:23,424
who were in the 13 Club,
which included Joe.

260
00:15:26,386 --> 00:15:28,179
After William and Mary,

261
00:15:28,179 --> 00:15:30,598
Robert goes straight
to law school.

262
00:15:30,598 --> 00:15:35,561
I met Robert back in 1998
when we were both law students.

263
00:15:35,561 --> 00:15:40,733
Robert was such a nice guy
and so kind to everybody.

264
00:15:40,733 --> 00:15:43,778
I had a big crush on him.

265
00:15:43,778 --> 00:15:46,447
Robert had not dated
a lot of people.

266
00:15:46,447 --> 00:15:49,075
He met Kathy in 2002.

267
00:15:49,075 --> 00:15:50,868
He came back from a weekend.

268
00:15:50,868 --> 00:15:52,912
He said, "I think I met
the woman I'm going to marry."

269
00:15:52,912 --> 00:15:55,415
I was like, "This is so out
of character for you.

270
00:15:55,415 --> 00:15:57,166
What are you talking about?"
He's like,

271
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,502
"No, I met the right person."

272
00:15:59,502 --> 00:16:03,256
It was quite the kind of
whirlwind meeting, engagement,

273
00:16:03,256 --> 00:16:06,509
and then wedding--
stunningly fast.

274
00:16:08,219 --> 00:16:11,222
At that time, Robert worked
for Covington & Burling

275
00:16:11,222 --> 00:16:14,100
as an associate
in their Washington, DC, office.

276
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:16,269
Eventually,
Robert decided he wanted

277
00:16:16,269 --> 00:16:18,396
to become general counsel
for Radio Free Asia.

278
00:16:18,396 --> 00:16:21,274
Robert's motivation was to make
a difference in the world.

279
00:16:21,274 --> 00:16:25,445
Radio Free Asia
was the place he could do that.

280
00:16:27,155 --> 00:16:29,532
A lot of us lived in DC.

281
00:16:29,532 --> 00:16:32,994
An incredibly
close group of people.

282
00:16:32,994 --> 00:16:35,580
Robert was always
close with Joe.

283
00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:39,167
Robert's 30th birthday party
was at their house.

284
00:16:39,167 --> 00:16:41,335
I worked with Joe,
Victor, and Dylan

285
00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:44,672
to plan and organize
his 30th birthday party.

286
00:16:46,466 --> 00:16:49,594
How does everybody
in this picture wind up

287
00:16:49,594 --> 00:16:51,471
in the same house overnight,

288
00:16:51,471 --> 00:16:54,557
and one of them
winds up murdered?

289
00:17:02,815 --> 00:17:05,318
It's hard when you don't know
if you're dealing

290
00:17:05,318 --> 00:17:09,947
with a suspect,
a perpetrator, a witness.

291
00:17:09,947 --> 00:17:14,327
Doing that in real time
is a real challenge.

292
00:17:15,703 --> 00:17:20,875
After the three guys, Joe Price,
Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Ward,

293
00:17:20,875 --> 00:17:23,461
were transported down
to homicide,

294
00:17:23,461 --> 00:17:26,506
detectives get them in separate
interview rooms

295
00:17:26,506 --> 00:17:29,634
and begin to deal
with each story.

296
00:17:31,719 --> 00:17:33,388
{\an8}Price?

297
00:17:35,390 --> 00:17:39,268
Joe Price was the type A,
hard-charging,

298
00:17:39,268 --> 00:17:43,231
loud-talking
law firm partner type

299
00:17:43,231 --> 00:17:45,566
who was kind of
the leader of the family.

300
00:17:49,487 --> 00:17:52,156
His spouse, Victor Zaborsky,

301
00:17:52,156 --> 00:17:53,950
was a very sort of quiet guy

302
00:17:53,950 --> 00:17:57,537
who worked for the International
Dairy Association.

303
00:17:57,537 --> 00:18:02,625
He was the point person
on the "Got Milk?" ad campaign.

304
00:18:02,625 --> 00:18:05,753
Supervisor here.
This is Detective Norris.

305
00:18:05,753 --> 00:18:08,673
- Sir.
- Then you have Dylan Ward.

306
00:18:08,673 --> 00:18:11,843
He had a degree
in child literature.

307
00:18:11,843 --> 00:18:13,553
He was a masseuse.

308
00:18:13,553 --> 00:18:17,306
He kind of did
a number of different jobs.

309
00:18:22,895 --> 00:18:27,150
The detectives came to learn
pretty quickly these three guys

310
00:18:27,150 --> 00:18:29,193
not only lived together,

311
00:18:29,193 --> 00:18:31,988
this is a three-way
relationship,

312
00:18:31,988 --> 00:18:35,450
a polyamorous relationship.

313
00:18:47,128 --> 00:18:49,505
Dylan Ward was the third wheel

314
00:18:49,505 --> 00:18:53,051
in this
three-way family relationship.

315
00:19:39,013 --> 00:19:42,934
What the detectives find really
strange is it was the first time

316
00:19:42,934 --> 00:19:46,145
Robert had ever spent the night
on Swann Street.

317
00:19:46,145 --> 00:19:48,689
Knowing Joe, Victor,
and Dylan were in this

318
00:19:48,689 --> 00:19:52,110
polyamorous relationship,
did that have anything to do

319
00:19:52,110 --> 00:19:55,822
with why Robert was spending
the night at their house?

320
00:20:13,131 --> 00:20:14,632
To start off with,

321
00:20:14,632 --> 00:20:16,676
the detectives looking
through it

322
00:20:16,676 --> 00:20:18,886
with homophobic lenses.

323
00:20:18,886 --> 00:20:21,889
Every detective said,
"I just don't understand

324
00:20:21,889 --> 00:20:25,017
why a straight guy would go over
to the house of three gay guys."

325
00:20:25,017 --> 00:20:28,563
The entire police department
was biased.

326
00:20:39,741 --> 00:20:42,827
Robert was a promising
young lawyer,

327
00:20:42,827 --> 00:20:47,623
well-liked, he was generous,
very happily married.

328
00:20:47,623 --> 00:20:51,794
So why would somebody
want to do this to Robert?

329
00:20:54,213 --> 00:20:56,716
I had been covering crime
in Washington, DC,

330
00:20:56,716 --> 00:20:58,634
for a number of decades,
and I thought,

331
00:20:58,634 --> 00:21:00,219
there's got to be
more to this story.

332
00:21:00,219 --> 00:21:04,015
And that's when I got deeply,
deeply involved.

333
00:21:04,015 --> 00:21:06,934
August 2nd in Washington, DC,
in 2006

334
00:21:06,934 --> 00:21:10,772
is a typically hot
and steamy, awful day.

335
00:21:12,815 --> 00:21:16,194
Robert and his wife Kathy
took the Metro

336
00:21:16,194 --> 00:21:18,946
together that day into the city.

337
00:21:20,615 --> 00:21:22,742
As they do every weekday,

338
00:21:22,742 --> 00:21:25,203
they get off
at the Dupont Circle exit.

339
00:21:25,203 --> 00:21:28,831
They kiss good-bye at 8:45
in the morning.

340
00:21:28,831 --> 00:21:32,085
Robert then goes to work
at Radio Free Asia.

341
00:21:32,085 --> 00:21:33,836
He spends the day there.

342
00:21:33,836 --> 00:21:37,215
He had known that he was going
to have to be working late.

343
00:21:37,215 --> 00:21:38,758
He didn't want to have to take

344
00:21:38,758 --> 00:21:41,052
the Metro
all the way home to Oakton.

345
00:21:41,052 --> 00:21:42,303
So if he had stayed late

346
00:21:42,303 --> 00:21:44,889
to meet the Radio Free Asia
overnight crew,

347
00:21:44,889 --> 00:21:46,766
then he would be coming home
late to Kathy,

348
00:21:46,766 --> 00:21:48,518
and he didn't want
to keep her up

349
00:21:48,518 --> 00:21:50,603
because she
gets up early in the morning.

350
00:21:50,603 --> 00:21:52,647
He reached out to two friends.

351
00:21:52,647 --> 00:21:54,899
He had first tried to stay

352
00:21:54,899 --> 00:21:58,361
at the house
of a female friend from college.

353
00:21:58,361 --> 00:22:01,906
And what we understand is
that Joe got back to him first.

354
00:22:01,906 --> 00:22:04,659
In fact, Kathy reminded Robert

355
00:22:04,659 --> 00:22:07,370
that he was going to stay
at Joe's that night.

356
00:22:07,370 --> 00:22:10,623
Robert also had another reason
to hang out with Joe,

357
00:22:10,623 --> 00:22:12,125
which was that they were going

358
00:22:12,125 --> 00:22:15,712
to talk about
some potential work project.

359
00:22:15,712 --> 00:22:20,133
And at 9:30, he calls Kathy,

360
00:22:20,133 --> 00:22:23,970
and his last words
to Kathy were, "I love you."

361
00:22:26,222 --> 00:22:27,849
"I love you."

362
00:22:27,849 --> 00:22:31,811
Who knew that that would be
the last time they would talk?

363
00:22:31,811 --> 00:22:36,107
At 9:40, he meets with the night
staff at Radio Free Asia.

364
00:22:36,107 --> 00:22:38,693
And then, we know,
from call records,

365
00:22:38,693 --> 00:22:43,156
that, at 10:24, he calls Joe.

366
00:22:43,156 --> 00:22:45,199
Robert gets a cab,

367
00:22:45,199 --> 00:22:49,328
and around 10:30,
he arrives at the house.

368
00:22:49,328 --> 00:22:52,081
We really know very little

369
00:22:52,081 --> 00:22:54,500
from the time
he places that call

370
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:58,337
{\an8}and when the EMTs
arrive at 11:54 PM.

371
00:22:58,337 --> 00:23:00,882
{\an8}The only three people
who could tell us that

372
00:23:00,882 --> 00:23:03,926
would be Dylan,
Joe, and Victor.

373
00:25:12,346 --> 00:25:14,015
DC emergency, 9-1-1.

374
00:25:51,594 --> 00:25:54,138
So, meanwhile, Detective Waid
is still back at the house

375
00:25:54,138 --> 00:25:56,849
trying to gather as much
evidence as quickly as possible

376
00:25:56,849 --> 00:25:59,685
so he can help inform
the detectives

377
00:25:59,685 --> 00:26:03,606
about the course of the
interviews of these three guys.

378
00:26:03,606 --> 00:26:06,109
We have their story
that said

379
00:26:06,109 --> 00:26:08,444
that somebody must have
come in through the back door.

380
00:26:08,444 --> 00:26:10,071
There was an intruder.

381
00:26:21,207 --> 00:26:26,045
Well, okay, let's go look
at the back of the house.

382
00:26:26,045 --> 00:26:28,172
It's just a small
little backyard and then

383
00:26:28,172 --> 00:26:32,301
a seven-foot security fence
that was dead bolted.

384
00:26:32,301 --> 00:26:34,679
Could somebody
get over that fence?

385
00:26:34,679 --> 00:26:37,557
Yes. Did anybody
come over that fence?

386
00:26:37,557 --> 00:26:41,394
There were cobwebs from
the trees to the fences

387
00:26:41,394 --> 00:26:44,814
that you can only see if you put
your flashlight up there.

388
00:26:44,814 --> 00:26:46,441
So you scale the fence,

389
00:26:46,441 --> 00:26:48,776
you don't mess up
any of the cobwebs,

390
00:26:48,776 --> 00:26:52,697
you don't mess up the pollen,
you don't disturb any dirt.

391
00:26:52,697 --> 00:26:57,952
When you have a violent murder
happen inside of a home,

392
00:26:57,952 --> 00:27:00,288
generally there's
a little bit of upset.

393
00:27:00,288 --> 00:27:02,415
There's something ransacked,
knocked over.

394
00:27:02,415 --> 00:27:05,793
Things out of place.
Not Swann Street.

395
00:27:05,793 --> 00:27:08,421
Nothing in the home
was out of place,

396
00:27:08,421 --> 00:27:09,964
never mind stolen.

397
00:27:09,964 --> 00:27:14,469
There is zero evidence
of an intruder in the house.

398
00:27:14,469 --> 00:27:17,430
I ended up being
in that house many times.

399
00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:21,267
It's a building that's more
than a hundred years old.

400
00:27:21,267 --> 00:27:24,979
You walk up and down
those 16 wooden steps,

401
00:27:24,979 --> 00:27:27,982
they creak and they're loud.

402
00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:37,950
They hear nobody climbing

403
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:40,036
16 creaky steps
to the second floor,

404
00:27:40,036 --> 00:27:43,915
and then they hear a scream
or breathy grunts.

405
00:27:45,374 --> 00:27:48,836
After that, they hear nobody
running down the stairs.

406
00:27:55,426 --> 00:27:57,011
{\an8}Yes.

407
00:28:02,725 --> 00:28:04,936
The stories that these
three guys are peddling

408
00:28:04,936 --> 00:28:08,106
to the detectives
just doesn't add up.

409
00:28:08,106 --> 00:28:09,982
Joe is being arrogant.

410
00:28:09,982 --> 00:28:13,319
Victor and Dylan are being
kind of quiet.

411
00:28:13,319 --> 00:28:18,324
And none of them seem to be all
that concerned that their friend

412
00:28:18,324 --> 00:28:20,410
was just slaughtered
in their house.

413
00:28:20,410 --> 00:28:21,869
You know, I know...

414
00:28:35,049 --> 00:28:36,926
Joe was giving credence
to their theory,

415
00:28:36,926 --> 00:28:39,637
saying, "It sounds bizarre.
I agree with you.

416
00:28:39,637 --> 00:28:42,181
And I wish I could explain it,
but I can't."

417
00:28:42,181 --> 00:28:44,851
Shock just affects different
people in different ways.

418
00:28:44,851 --> 00:28:46,352
And Joe is trying to muster up

419
00:28:46,352 --> 00:28:49,063
as much as he could
to help them at that time.

420
00:28:58,448 --> 00:29:00,116
If you're coming in
to rob somebody,

421
00:29:00,116 --> 00:29:03,619
you're probably going to bring
your own weapon.

422
00:29:03,619 --> 00:29:06,873
If you're going to come in
to kill somebody,

423
00:29:06,873 --> 00:29:09,667
you're going to bring
your own weapon.

424
00:29:09,667 --> 00:29:11,461
You're not going to depend
on somebody

425
00:29:11,461 --> 00:29:14,839
having a butcher's block
in the kitchen.

426
00:29:14,839 --> 00:29:16,674
You're going to be prepared.

427
00:29:16,674 --> 00:29:18,217
I remember thinking

428
00:29:18,217 --> 00:29:21,554
it had to have been
somebody in that house.

429
00:29:21,554 --> 00:29:27,518
The story of an unknown intruder
is 100% bullsh--

430
00:29:40,615 --> 00:29:44,327
Ordinarily, if you get
two people involved in a crime,

431
00:29:44,327 --> 00:29:46,204
you're typically going
to be able to break one

432
00:29:46,204 --> 00:29:47,663
and figure out what happened.

433
00:29:47,663 --> 00:29:49,791
You get three people
involved in a crime,

434
00:29:49,791 --> 00:29:54,212
you're almost certainly going
to be able to get one of them,

435
00:29:54,212 --> 00:29:56,381
turn them against the other two.

436
00:30:21,239 --> 00:30:23,783
When you're a lawyer
and you're implicated

437
00:30:23,783 --> 00:30:26,244
in a homicide,
you know not to say anything.

438
00:30:26,244 --> 00:30:28,371
But he's going down,
cooperating with them,

439
00:30:28,371 --> 00:30:31,082
hoping that they can find
whoever did this.

440
00:30:31,082 --> 00:30:32,792
Joe is trusting these guys

441
00:30:32,792 --> 00:30:35,294
that they're actually
looking for the killer,

442
00:30:35,294 --> 00:30:37,880
and then he realized,
"This is all a sham.

443
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,215
They're looking at me."

444
00:30:39,215 --> 00:30:41,050
He went to school with Robert.

445
00:30:41,050 --> 00:30:42,552
Joe was at his wedding.

446
00:30:42,552 --> 00:30:44,929
Joe threw a surprise party
for him.

447
00:30:44,929 --> 00:30:47,682
What was his motive?
It was his best friend.

448
00:30:56,441 --> 00:30:59,318
Joe and Victor,
who were upstairs

449
00:30:59,318 --> 00:31:02,655
at the time of the murder,
they come downstairs.

450
00:31:02,655 --> 00:31:03,990
Well guess what?

451
00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:08,161
They can't account
for precisely where Dylan was.

452
00:31:36,147 --> 00:31:37,690
You didn't know
where Dylan was at.

453
00:31:37,690 --> 00:31:39,442
So how do you know
somebody broke in?

454
00:31:39,442 --> 00:31:40,902
How do you know it wasn't Dylan?

455
00:31:40,902 --> 00:31:44,655
He quickly and definitively
came to Dylan's defense,

456
00:31:44,655 --> 00:31:47,575
even though
he couldn't alibi Dylan.

457
00:31:57,126 --> 00:32:00,963
Dylan's room was
on the second floor.

458
00:32:00,963 --> 00:32:02,757
He was the weak link.

459
00:32:02,757 --> 00:32:06,677
So Dylan was taken from
the homicide office

460
00:32:06,677 --> 00:32:08,304
out the side door

461
00:32:08,304 --> 00:32:11,057
to go down to the FBI
to take a polygraph test.

462
00:32:16,354 --> 00:32:20,149
The two questions were,
"Did you kill Robert?"

463
00:32:20,149 --> 00:32:23,653
"Do you know who killed Robert?"

464
00:32:23,653 --> 00:32:26,656
On his answers to both
of those questions,

465
00:32:26,656 --> 00:32:30,993
Dylan came up what we call DI,
deception indicated.

466
00:32:35,289 --> 00:32:37,750
He flunked the polygraph.

467
00:32:54,684 --> 00:32:56,602
Polygraphs are in admissible
in court.

468
00:32:56,602 --> 00:32:59,981
So when the police come back
and say, "You failed.

469
00:32:59,981 --> 00:33:02,859
Tell us the rest
and we'll go easy on you,"

470
00:33:02,859 --> 00:33:04,485
it's leverage.

471
00:33:04,485 --> 00:33:06,779
Because if that doesn't work,
then they have nothing.

472
00:33:06,779 --> 00:33:09,365
That will normally break a guy
if he did it.

473
00:33:12,368 --> 00:33:13,578
{\an8}I mean, this guy...

474
00:33:13,578 --> 00:33:16,414
{\an8}Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe. Joe.

475
00:33:16,414 --> 00:33:19,751
They're running out of gas, okay.

476
00:33:19,751 --> 00:33:21,419
Who had a motive?

477
00:33:21,419 --> 00:33:26,340
The detectives didn't have
any solid theory.

478
00:33:26,340 --> 00:33:28,051
Which one is it?
One of them?

479
00:33:28,051 --> 00:33:30,428
Two of them?
Three of them?

480
00:33:40,605 --> 00:33:44,609
After Joe got all agitated
and he wanted to leave.

481
00:33:44,609 --> 00:33:46,402
"Okay. Go ahead.
We're done."

482
00:33:46,402 --> 00:33:47,987
He was free to leave
the whole time.

483
00:34:04,212 --> 00:34:06,631
Once I left 1509 Swann Street,

484
00:34:06,631 --> 00:34:09,175
I went back
to the homicide office.

485
00:34:09,175 --> 00:34:12,804
I'd been up all day, all night,
and we thought we were done.

486
00:34:12,804 --> 00:34:14,680
And Joe keeps banging
on the door,

487
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,433
wanting to get back in there.

488
00:34:17,433 --> 00:34:20,353
He found out
I was the lead detective.

489
00:34:20,353 --> 00:34:22,271
And what does he want to do?

490
00:34:22,271 --> 00:34:25,525
He wants to come
back in and talk.

491
00:34:25,525 --> 00:34:27,443
Initially,
the story we had was the knife

492
00:34:27,443 --> 00:34:29,487
was laying on Robert's chest,

493
00:34:29,487 --> 00:34:33,366
and he put it onto
the nightstand.

494
00:34:33,366 --> 00:34:35,618
Whenever he came back
and talked to me,

495
00:34:35,618 --> 00:34:39,455
he said that he pulled it
out of Robert's chest.

496
00:34:39,455 --> 00:34:41,833
What the----?

497
00:34:43,626 --> 00:34:46,129
So I get him back
into the interview room,

498
00:34:46,129 --> 00:34:47,880
and I start videotaping it.

499
00:35:11,612 --> 00:35:13,823
He changed the story.

500
00:35:13,823 --> 00:35:17,660
That's something that a human
being never forgets.

501
00:35:17,660 --> 00:35:21,622
"I had to pull the knife
out of my friend's body."

502
00:35:27,003 --> 00:35:28,212
There were no witnesses.

503
00:35:28,212 --> 00:35:29,922
Why didn't he just stick
with his original story?

504
00:35:29,922 --> 00:35:32,925
"It was laying on him,
and I laid it on the table."

505
00:35:32,925 --> 00:35:35,053
The fact that he thinks
he pulled it out of him

506
00:35:35,053 --> 00:35:38,014
supports the fact
that he's telling the truth.

507
00:35:38,014 --> 00:35:40,016
He's in shock.

508
00:35:40,016 --> 00:35:43,728
I don't know
why he changed the story.

509
00:35:43,728 --> 00:35:47,023
In my opinion, you're either
doing it to protect yourself

510
00:35:47,023 --> 00:35:49,942
or you're doing it
to protect your loved one,

511
00:35:49,942 --> 00:35:51,402
one or the other.

512
00:36:06,834 --> 00:36:08,669
Generally,
an autopsy is performed

513
00:36:08,669 --> 00:36:14,050
within the first 24 hours
or so of a suspicious death.

514
00:36:14,050 --> 00:36:18,179
Dr. Lois Goslinoski, experienced
medical examiner in DC,

515
00:36:18,179 --> 00:36:21,057
conducted the autopsy
on Robert's body.

516
00:36:21,057 --> 00:36:25,228
In 2006,
I was a deputy medical examiner

517
00:36:25,228 --> 00:36:26,813
for the District of Columbia.

518
00:36:26,813 --> 00:36:31,526
At that time, I had done
approximately 2,100 autopsies.

519
00:36:31,526 --> 00:36:35,655
{\an8}Case number 06-1837.

520
00:36:35,655 --> 00:36:38,950
{\an8}Name of the decedent--
Robert E. Wone.

521
00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:41,035
When Dr. Goslinoski
does the autopsy,

522
00:36:41,035 --> 00:36:44,539
she finds a number of things
that are very curious.

523
00:36:46,207 --> 00:36:49,919
The first thing that I noticed
was three perfect

524
00:36:49,919 --> 00:36:54,882
slit-like defects
in the front of his torso.

525
00:36:54,882 --> 00:36:58,928
These were three surgical-like
defects.

526
00:36:58,928 --> 00:37:02,515
They're nearly identical
in depth, width,

527
00:37:02,515 --> 00:37:04,642
and orientation.

528
00:37:04,642 --> 00:37:07,729
The uniformity indicating
nobody moved,

529
00:37:07,729 --> 00:37:10,815
the attacker nor the victim.

530
00:37:10,815 --> 00:37:13,192
A methodical murder.

531
00:37:13,192 --> 00:37:16,654
If someone did get
close enough to him

532
00:37:16,654 --> 00:37:18,614
to cause wounds like that,

533
00:37:18,614 --> 00:37:20,533
then I would expect evidence

534
00:37:20,533 --> 00:37:23,369
that he was trying
to defend himself.

535
00:37:23,369 --> 00:37:25,496
Human beings can't help
but react

536
00:37:25,496 --> 00:37:27,790
to try to fight off
the attacker.

537
00:37:27,790 --> 00:37:31,919
But Robert's hands
had no defensive wounds.

538
00:37:31,919 --> 00:37:35,882
There were no wounds on
the palms of his hands,

539
00:37:35,882 --> 00:37:38,426
nothing on his forearms.

540
00:37:38,426 --> 00:37:40,803
No blood on his hands.

541
00:37:40,803 --> 00:37:44,724
Another major part of the story
that is so bizarre.

542
00:37:44,724 --> 00:37:47,060
I've seen tons of stabbings.

543
00:37:47,060 --> 00:37:49,771
I've never
even heard of a stab wound

544
00:37:49,771 --> 00:37:53,107
that somebody was stabbed
and they just die.

545
00:37:53,107 --> 00:37:56,861
The blood went over his shoulder
and down his side.

546
00:37:56,861 --> 00:37:58,654
He didn't even move.

547
00:37:58,654 --> 00:38:01,199
With the types of wounds
that Mr. Wone had,

548
00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:04,869
I would have expected
significant blood loss.

549
00:38:04,869 --> 00:38:08,664
From seeing the scene
where he was lying,

550
00:38:08,664 --> 00:38:12,085
very little blood was found.

551
00:38:12,085 --> 00:38:16,839
My conclusions from the autopsy
were that the cause of death

552
00:38:16,839 --> 00:38:19,675
was stab wounds of torso,

553
00:38:19,675 --> 00:38:22,970
and the manner
of death was homicide.

554
00:38:22,970 --> 00:38:27,600
But these wounds
were not immediately fatal.

555
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,188
There was blood that had leaked
into the small intestine.

556
00:38:32,188 --> 00:38:36,776
We know his digestive system
continued to operate

557
00:38:36,776 --> 00:38:39,612
for a period of time
after he had been stabbed.

558
00:38:39,612 --> 00:38:42,698
{\an8}There was a blood clot

559
00:38:42,698 --> 00:38:45,868
{\an8}filling a portion
of the small intestine.

560
00:38:45,868 --> 00:38:48,704
{\an8}We came to a consensus.

561
00:38:48,704 --> 00:38:51,124
Robert Wone was still alive

562
00:38:51,124 --> 00:38:53,960
while that blood clot
was forming.

563
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,464
He lived for a period of time
after each of those wounds

564
00:38:58,464 --> 00:39:00,258
were inflicted.

565
00:39:00,258 --> 00:39:03,261
To initially have internal
bleeding from a stab wound

566
00:39:03,261 --> 00:39:05,930
and not even move,
I found it impossible.

567
00:39:05,930 --> 00:39:09,600
He had to be alive and...

568
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,477
paralyzed.

569
00:39:16,858 --> 00:39:20,987
Why did he not move?

570
00:39:22,238 --> 00:39:26,743
Was he tied up? Is that why
his wounds look so uniform?

571
00:39:26,743 --> 00:39:29,620
There was no evidence
of ligature marks.

572
00:39:29,620 --> 00:39:32,248
The reason why that
could have happened was that

573
00:39:32,248 --> 00:39:36,002
he was under the influence
of some type of drug.

574
00:39:36,002 --> 00:39:39,630
The autopsy showed
there was no signs of Robert

575
00:39:39,630 --> 00:39:41,466
being physically restrained.

576
00:39:41,466 --> 00:39:45,470
But they did find
those needle puncture marks.

577
00:39:45,470 --> 00:39:48,723
There were needle puncture
marks on his neck.

578
00:39:48,723 --> 00:39:52,435
There were needle puncture marks
on the back of one of his hands.

579
00:39:52,435 --> 00:39:57,482
A few more on his ankle and on
the top of one of his feet.

580
00:39:57,482 --> 00:40:00,151
It's not unusual to find
some needle puncture marks

581
00:40:00,151 --> 00:40:02,695
because they'll try
to start an IV line,

582
00:40:02,695 --> 00:40:04,363
whether by the EMTs
in the ambulance

583
00:40:04,363 --> 00:40:06,699
or the doctors at the hospital
trying to treat

584
00:40:06,699 --> 00:40:08,868
and revive a patient.

585
00:40:08,868 --> 00:40:12,163
And, so, we interviewed
them all.

586
00:40:13,331 --> 00:40:18,503
None of them could explain all
of these needle puncture marks

587
00:40:18,503 --> 00:40:21,047
to our satisfaction.

588
00:40:21,047 --> 00:40:24,801
In my opinion, some of
these needle puncture marks,

589
00:40:24,801 --> 00:40:26,803
particularly the one
that was right

590
00:40:26,803 --> 00:40:28,388
in the center of his chest,

591
00:40:28,388 --> 00:40:32,308
were inflicted on Robert
pre-mortem,

592
00:40:32,308 --> 00:40:34,310
before he was dead.

593
00:40:38,064 --> 00:40:42,485
Which led us down the sort of
wild world of paralytics.

594
00:40:42,485 --> 00:40:46,197
What drugs might have been used
that correspond

595
00:40:46,197 --> 00:40:50,535
to those needle puncture marks
that incapacitated Robert?

596
00:40:50,535 --> 00:40:55,206
With any autopsy that you do,
you collect body fluid samples,

597
00:40:55,206 --> 00:40:57,250
a blood sample, a urine sample,

598
00:40:57,250 --> 00:41:00,420
and those samples
get sent away to a lab.

599
00:41:00,420 --> 00:41:04,424
I knew that that was the next
clue that I was going to have.

600
00:41:08,845 --> 00:41:10,430
After that interrogation,

601
00:41:10,430 --> 00:41:13,433
and as we waited
for the results of the autopsy,

602
00:41:13,433 --> 00:41:16,436
Joe Price, Dylan Ward,
and Victor Zaborsky

603
00:41:16,436 --> 00:41:19,272
were definitely suspects
in the case.

604
00:41:30,158 --> 00:41:33,661
32-year-old attorney
Robert Wone was found murdered

605
00:41:33,661 --> 00:41:37,707
inside this upscale row home
in the Dupont Circle area.

606
00:41:37,707 --> 00:41:39,208
Today's police presence

607
00:41:39,208 --> 00:41:41,252
a concern for those
living around it,

608
00:41:41,252 --> 00:41:43,129
all wondering who did it,

609
00:41:43,129 --> 00:41:46,340
and will police catch
whomever is responsible?

610
00:41:46,340 --> 00:41:48,051
One of the main reasons
I picked this place

611
00:41:48,051 --> 00:41:50,636
was because it was safe.

612
00:41:50,636 --> 00:41:54,098
Also in the home, three men--
homeowner Joseph Price

613
00:41:54,098 --> 00:41:56,225
and his domestic partner,
Victor Zaborsky,

614
00:41:56,225 --> 00:41:58,436
and their roommate, Dylan Ward.

615
00:41:58,436 --> 00:42:01,939
News breaks that this prominent
member of the Asian community,

616
00:42:01,939 --> 00:42:03,357
Robert Wone, is murdered,

617
00:42:03,357 --> 00:42:05,568
and there are three gay people
in the house.

618
00:42:05,568 --> 00:42:09,238
Dupont Circle and the
neighborhood of Swann Street

619
00:42:09,238 --> 00:42:12,700
was the center
of the gay community.

620
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:14,202
Joe Price was at the top

621
00:42:14,202 --> 00:42:18,456
{\an8}of the A-list gay social scene
in Washington, D.C.

622
00:42:18,456 --> 00:42:24,462
{\an8}The gay community is supportive
of Joe, Victor, and Dylan.

623
00:42:28,383 --> 00:42:32,637
{\an8}In 2006, Joe and Victor were
leaders in the gay community.

624
00:42:32,637 --> 00:42:34,263
{\an8}Joe was very out front,

625
00:42:34,263 --> 00:42:38,601
{\an8}very much an advocate
for gay rights.

626
00:42:38,601 --> 00:42:40,937
{\an8}The sentiment initially
was sympathetic

627
00:42:40,937 --> 00:42:42,522
{\an8}to the three gay men.

628
00:42:42,522 --> 00:42:44,482
{\an8}Joe Price was
a prominent attorney

629
00:42:44,482 --> 00:42:46,651
{\an8}working for a prominent
law firm.

630
00:42:46,651 --> 00:42:51,572
{\an8}He also was one of the founders
of an LGBT organization

631
00:42:51,572 --> 00:42:53,825
{\an8}called Equality Virginia.

632
00:42:53,825 --> 00:42:57,120
{\an8}At the time, gay marriage
was not recognized.

633
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,955
{\an8}In fact, the president
at the time,

634
00:42:58,955 --> 00:43:00,790
{\an8}George W. Bush,
was against gay marriage.

635
00:43:00,790 --> 00:43:02,583
{\an8}Gay and lesbian people in
Virginia were sort of treated

636
00:43:02,583 --> 00:43:04,502
{\an8}like second-class citizens
in a lot of ways.

637
00:43:04,502 --> 00:43:07,171
{\an8}And there really needed
to be an advocacy organization

638
00:43:07,171 --> 00:43:10,133
that spoke for gays
and lesbians.

639
00:43:10,133 --> 00:43:11,676
Joe Price was
on the front lines,

640
00:43:11,676 --> 00:43:15,930
actively pushing for kinds
of changes in equality

641
00:43:15,930 --> 00:43:18,349
that are now taken for granted.

642
00:43:18,349 --> 00:43:21,102
With his domestic partner
at his side,

643
00:43:21,102 --> 00:43:23,646
"USA Today" portrayed them

644
00:43:23,646 --> 00:43:26,733
{\an8}because they were on the
forefront of being a gay family

645
00:43:26,733 --> 00:43:31,154
{\an8}by being sperm donors
with a lesbian couple.

646
00:43:31,154 --> 00:43:35,324
{\an8}They were legitimately
forging ahead.

647
00:43:35,324 --> 00:43:37,034
{\an8}Joe was somebody that Robert

648
00:43:37,034 --> 00:43:39,746
{\an8}had always looked up to
and respected.

649
00:43:39,746 --> 00:43:41,330
{\an8}After Robert was killed,

650
00:43:41,330 --> 00:43:44,000
{\an8}I remember one of my first
thoughts being, "Oh, my God,

651
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,128
{\an8}like, are the guys okay?"

652
00:43:48,421 --> 00:43:50,465
After he was murdered,

653
00:43:50,465 --> 00:43:54,343
I spent the better part
of the next week with Kathy.

654
00:43:54,343 --> 00:43:56,596
And the family decided
that I should be the one

655
00:43:56,596 --> 00:44:00,850
to sit with Kathy
when the detectives came.

656
00:44:00,850 --> 00:44:03,186
The detective started
asking questions about

657
00:44:03,186 --> 00:44:07,356
Robert's relationship with Joe
and with Victor and with Dylan.

658
00:44:07,356 --> 00:44:09,108
And I remember
both of us thinking,

659
00:44:09,108 --> 00:44:14,322
"Oh, my God, the detectives
don't appear to be believing

660
00:44:14,322 --> 00:44:16,866
that there was an intruder."

661
00:44:16,866 --> 00:44:18,743
Here I had been operating
under the impression

662
00:44:18,743 --> 00:44:21,871
my friend had been the victim
of a random violent crime

663
00:44:21,871 --> 00:44:25,750
and then find out the detectives
had some suspicion

664
00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:29,295
that his friends were involved
in killing him.

665
00:44:31,005 --> 00:44:34,550
It was absolutely stunning.

666
00:44:35,968 --> 00:44:41,557
That night, Joe called me and
asked if I could talk to Kathy,

667
00:44:41,557 --> 00:44:44,185
and I think he used the words
"waive privilege"

668
00:44:44,185 --> 00:44:46,896
and share with him
what the detectives asked.

669
00:44:46,896 --> 00:44:52,193
{\an8}Joe Price's question about
what Kathy told the detective

670
00:44:52,193 --> 00:44:54,946
{\an8}was the first indication
to Kathy Wone

671
00:44:54,946 --> 00:45:00,368
that Joe might have something
that he needed to protect.

672
00:45:00,368 --> 00:45:04,872
The sense was that Joe
and Victor and Dylan

673
00:45:04,872 --> 00:45:06,165
were hiding something.

674
00:45:06,165 --> 00:45:07,208
Things didn't add up.

675
00:45:07,208 --> 00:45:09,627
The intruder didn't add up.

676
00:45:13,798 --> 00:45:16,843
Shortly after that,
Joe, Victor, and Dylan

677
00:45:16,843 --> 00:45:19,470
came to the house

678
00:45:19,470 --> 00:45:22,223
{\an8}and insisted on having
a private meeting with Kathy

679
00:45:22,223 --> 00:45:23,975
{\an8}down in the basement.

680
00:45:23,975 --> 00:45:26,728
{\an8}And...

681
00:45:26,728 --> 00:45:29,313
I don't know
what they said to her.

682
00:45:29,313 --> 00:45:33,484
But she believed their story.

683
00:45:33,484 --> 00:45:35,403
Kathy still really thought

684
00:45:35,403 --> 00:45:38,948
that the guys
were also victims in this.

685
00:45:38,948 --> 00:45:40,700
If your friend were killed,

686
00:45:40,700 --> 00:45:44,537
would you go interrogate
the widow?

687
00:45:44,537 --> 00:45:46,664
{\an8}Would you ask another friend

688
00:45:46,664 --> 00:45:49,459
{\an8}to find out
what the police were doing?

689
00:45:49,459 --> 00:45:51,502
{\an8}And lawyer up right away?

690
00:46:00,344 --> 00:46:02,638
{\an8}It was a Saturday.

691
00:46:02,638 --> 00:46:04,140
{\an8}The phone rang.
I answered it.

692
00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:05,892
{\an8}He said, "Hi. This is Joe Price,

693
00:46:05,892 --> 00:46:08,394
{\an8}the suspect
in the Swann Street case."

694
00:46:08,394 --> 00:46:10,772
{\an8}And he said,
"I did a lot of research on you,

695
00:46:10,772 --> 00:46:12,523
{\an8}and you're--
you're a street fighter.

696
00:46:12,523 --> 00:46:16,110
{\an8}And that's--
that's what I need."

697
00:46:16,110 --> 00:46:17,528
I told him on the front end,

698
00:46:17,528 --> 00:46:20,198
"I don't want to hear,
'I didn't do it.'

699
00:46:20,198 --> 00:46:23,409
I want the unadulterated facts,

700
00:46:23,409 --> 00:46:25,912
no spin on it
one way or another."

701
00:46:25,912 --> 00:46:30,416
Price, in my mind,
he was factually innocent.

702
00:46:30,416 --> 00:46:33,294
Let's not hide from this.
They were all gay.

703
00:46:33,294 --> 00:46:35,296
They had police officers

704
00:46:35,296 --> 00:46:38,841
that were pretty
obviously homophobic.

705
00:46:38,841 --> 00:46:42,011
The detectives' theory is you're
in a three-way relationship,

706
00:46:42,011 --> 00:46:43,513
you're a freak.

707
00:46:43,513 --> 00:46:45,890
Therefore, who else
would have done it but you?

708
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:03,783
{\an8}Here we go.

709
00:47:06,244 --> 00:47:07,537
A lot of people are gay.

710
00:47:07,537 --> 00:47:09,122
They don't kill people
because they're gay.

711
00:47:09,122 --> 00:47:11,207
I mean, what, are you
from the friggin' stone ages,

712
00:47:11,207 --> 00:47:12,959
for Christ's sakes?

713
00:47:12,959 --> 00:47:16,713
Is it offensive to them that
they were talked to like that?

714
00:47:16,713 --> 00:47:18,548
Yeah, but that's all part of it.

715
00:47:18,548 --> 00:47:21,300
These detectives, they're not
homophobes and bigots.

716
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:25,388
They're trying to get
these guys riled up.

717
00:47:25,388 --> 00:47:27,974
The whole good cop/bad cop.

718
00:47:40,862 --> 00:47:44,615
{\an8}The detectives,
they had tunnel vision.

719
00:47:44,615 --> 00:47:46,617
{\an8}They never reconsidered
other theories,

720
00:47:46,617 --> 00:47:48,661
{\an8}other suspects, other evidence.

721
00:47:56,419 --> 00:47:58,004
No----ing way.

722
00:48:00,631 --> 00:48:03,468
Make no mistake about it,
there was no intruder.

723
00:48:03,468 --> 00:48:06,012
His client offered
the intruder theory.

724
00:48:06,012 --> 00:48:09,140
So there is zero evidence
of an intruder

725
00:48:09,140 --> 00:48:12,060
in the house to this day.

726
00:48:12,060 --> 00:48:14,771
I haven't been here
in more than a decade.

727
00:48:25,281 --> 00:48:27,450
It looks different.

728
00:48:29,327 --> 00:48:31,037
This is all new.

729
00:48:32,997 --> 00:48:35,958
You can see...

730
00:48:35,958 --> 00:48:38,002
same fences right here.

731
00:48:41,839 --> 00:48:42,715
Seven feet.

732
00:48:42,715 --> 00:48:45,510
The intruder would have somehow

733
00:48:45,510 --> 00:48:48,679
had to have catapulted
over that fence

734
00:48:48,679 --> 00:48:52,558
without disturbing the pollen,
the cobwebs.

735
00:48:53,810 --> 00:48:56,145
The intruder drops into
the backyard, goes over here.

736
00:48:56,145 --> 00:48:58,481
He doesn't get the large knife
out of the butcher block.

737
00:48:58,481 --> 00:49:01,484
No, he gets one of
the modest-size steak knives

738
00:49:01,484 --> 00:49:06,656
and then makes his way through
the house into the living room.

739
00:49:06,656 --> 00:49:08,074
Not interested in any

740
00:49:08,074 --> 00:49:11,327
expensive electronic equipment, apparently.

741
00:49:11,327 --> 00:49:13,996
He turns,
and up the stairs he goes.

742
00:49:13,996 --> 00:49:16,332
The stairs have been replaced.
They don't creak anymore.

743
00:49:16,332 --> 00:49:19,043
But they were loud 16 years ago.

744
00:49:20,712 --> 00:49:23,172
So once the intruder
gets to the top of the stairs,

745
00:49:23,172 --> 00:49:26,634
he is right smack in front
of Dylan's bedroom door.

746
00:49:26,634 --> 00:49:28,511
Has no interest
in going in that room.

747
00:49:28,511 --> 00:49:31,013
Instead turns 180 degrees

748
00:49:31,013 --> 00:49:34,684
and makes his way
to the front of the row house.

749
00:49:34,684 --> 00:49:39,230
The intruder doesn't stab Robert
upon entering the room.

750
00:49:39,230 --> 00:49:40,940
We know he didn't
stab Robert here

751
00:49:40,940 --> 00:49:44,110
because of the orientation
of the wounds.

752
00:49:44,110 --> 00:49:48,364
Instead, the intruder walks
around the bottom of the bed.

753
00:49:48,364 --> 00:49:53,369
Now, at the time, there was
a table at the foot of the bed.

754
00:49:53,369 --> 00:49:57,707
Two wallets on that table,
a BlackBerry, a Movado watch.

755
00:49:57,707 --> 00:50:01,044
The intruder has no interest
in any of those items.

756
00:50:01,044 --> 00:50:03,921
Instead he continues on
to this side of the bed,

757
00:50:03,921 --> 00:50:07,216
at which point the intruder
inserts a knife

758
00:50:07,216 --> 00:50:09,886
into Robert's torso three times.

759
00:50:09,886 --> 00:50:14,015
One, two, three.

760
00:50:14,015 --> 00:50:18,895
The intruder either left
the knife in Robert's torso

761
00:50:18,895 --> 00:50:22,732
or removed it and laid it
on top of Robert's torso.

762
00:50:22,732 --> 00:50:25,943
Joe Price told both
of those stories to the police.

763
00:50:25,943 --> 00:50:28,696
At that point,
the intruder comes back around.

764
00:50:28,696 --> 00:50:31,324
The intruder heads
to the back of the row house

765
00:50:31,324 --> 00:50:32,700
right in front of Dylan's door,

766
00:50:32,700 --> 00:50:34,577
has no interest
in going in there.

767
00:50:34,577 --> 00:50:36,913
Instead he heads
down the stairs,

768
00:50:36,913 --> 00:50:38,831
decides not to go
out the front door,

769
00:50:38,831 --> 00:50:41,459
because Joe and company
tell the detectives

770
00:50:41,459 --> 00:50:44,879
that remained dead-bolted.

771
00:50:44,879 --> 00:50:48,383
So the intruder makes his way
back through the back door,

772
00:50:48,383 --> 00:50:51,886
into the backyard,
leaping over the fence again,

773
00:50:51,886 --> 00:50:54,138
and he disappears
into the night,

774
00:50:54,138 --> 00:50:57,433
unseen, unheard, undetected,

775
00:50:57,433 --> 00:50:59,602
leaving no evidence of himself

776
00:50:59,602 --> 00:51:04,023
ever having been inside
1509 Swann Street.

777
00:51:18,704 --> 00:51:20,957
{\an8}The timeline
that we could prove

778
00:51:20,957 --> 00:51:23,876
{\an8}was that Robert called
from a desk phone

779
00:51:23,876 --> 00:51:27,130
{\an8}at Radio Free Asia
at 10:24 p.m.,

780
00:51:27,130 --> 00:51:32,468
{\an8}and then the 911 call is placed
by Victor at 11:49 p.m.

781
00:51:32,468 --> 00:51:36,848
{\an8}And then at 11:54,
the EMTs arrive.

782
00:51:36,848 --> 00:51:39,642
{\an8}79 minutes
is the accepted timeline

783
00:51:39,642 --> 00:51:41,894
{\an8}between when Robert arrived
at 10:30

784
00:51:41,894 --> 00:51:46,399
{\an8}versus the time
that Victor called 911.

785
00:51:46,399 --> 00:51:49,235
{\an8}Initially, when we were there
on the scene,

786
00:51:49,235 --> 00:51:53,030
{\an8}we could not go and talk
to the people next door

787
00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:55,158
{\an8}because you got a news camera
right behind you

788
00:51:55,158 --> 00:51:57,118
{\an8}looking into
these people's face.

789
00:51:57,118 --> 00:51:59,871
{\an8}They don't want to have
anything to do with that.

790
00:51:59,871 --> 00:52:02,123
{\an8}Ultimately, we did
door-to-door canvass,

791
00:52:02,123 --> 00:52:03,875
{\an8}where you just knock
on the doors

792
00:52:03,875 --> 00:52:07,336
{\an8}and they tell you
if they heard anything or not.

793
00:52:07,336 --> 00:52:08,671
{\an8}These are row houses,

794
00:52:08,671 --> 00:52:10,923
{\an8}so you share a wall
with your neighbor,

795
00:52:10,923 --> 00:52:12,467
{\an8}and some of them are paper-thin.

796
00:52:12,467 --> 00:52:16,179
{\an8}So you can hear what's going on
in your neighbor's house.

797
00:52:16,179 --> 00:52:20,099
Directly next door
to 1509 Swann Street

798
00:52:20,099 --> 00:52:23,770
was an older couple
that religiously watched

799
00:52:23,770 --> 00:52:26,647
Maureen Bunyan on the news
every single night.

800
00:52:26,647 --> 00:52:29,776
Live from the WJLA
broadcast center...

801
00:52:29,776 --> 00:52:32,361
Police and federal agents
searched a local home

802
00:52:32,361 --> 00:52:34,113
and took a suspect into custody.

803
00:52:34,113 --> 00:52:37,200
These neighbors were
interviewed by the detectives,

804
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,661
and they said,
"While Maureen Bunyan was on,"

805
00:52:40,661 --> 00:52:43,956
which is between
11:00 and 11:30 p.m.,

806
00:52:43,956 --> 00:52:45,500
"I heard a scream."

807
00:52:45,500 --> 00:52:49,629
That's the only scream
that anybody heard that night.

808
00:52:49,629 --> 00:52:55,134
{\an8}And that scream becomes crucial
to establish a timeline.

809
00:52:55,134 --> 00:52:57,970
{\an8}So we got the tape
from the news station.

810
00:53:00,014 --> 00:53:02,266
{\an8}The news was over at 11:30,

811
00:53:02,266 --> 00:53:05,645
{\an8}where Maureen Bunyan
was not on after that,

812
00:53:05,645 --> 00:53:06,979
{\an8}not even for a commercial.

813
00:53:06,979 --> 00:53:09,065
{\an8}And I'm Maureen Bunyan.

814
00:53:09,065 --> 00:53:13,820
{\an8}The loud scream was Victor's
upon seeing Robert stabbed.

815
00:53:16,531 --> 00:53:22,036
{\an8}Victor didn't pick up the phone
and call 911 until 11:49.

816
00:53:26,582 --> 00:53:33,381
{\an8}They waited between 19
and 49 minutes after a scream

817
00:53:33,381 --> 00:53:36,426
{\an8}to pick up the phone
and call 911.

818
00:53:36,426 --> 00:53:40,847
{\an8}You listen to the 911 call,
it's very bizarre.

819
00:53:44,642 --> 00:53:48,354
{\an8}To me, it sounds like Victor
is being prompted.

820
00:53:48,354 --> 00:53:53,151
I can't find an explanation
for why Victor,

821
00:53:53,151 --> 00:53:54,819
in a relatively calm voice,

822
00:53:54,819 --> 00:53:57,488
asks the 911 operator,
"What time is it?"

823
00:53:59,490 --> 00:54:01,909
"Our friend is dead
in our guest room.

824
00:54:01,909 --> 00:54:03,327
Somebody stabbed him.

825
00:54:03,327 --> 00:54:05,163
We think the intruder
has one of our knives.

826
00:54:05,163 --> 00:54:06,914
And, by the way,
what time is it?"

827
00:54:06,914 --> 00:54:09,041
You're applying
lifesaving techniques

828
00:54:09,041 --> 00:54:10,460
to a good friend of yours.

829
00:54:10,460 --> 00:54:13,379
What does it----ing matter,
Victor?

830
00:54:15,214 --> 00:54:18,342
{\an8}Are they trying to establish
elements of the timeline

831
00:54:18,342 --> 00:54:21,220
that they can use
and backfill later?

832
00:54:21,220 --> 00:54:25,475
So much in Victor's story
that night does not make sense.

833
00:54:29,479 --> 00:54:32,190
"The intruder
has one of our knives."

834
00:54:32,190 --> 00:54:35,234
That's not the way 911 calls go.

835
00:54:35,234 --> 00:54:39,197
Why does Victor say,
"He has one of our knives,"

836
00:54:39,197 --> 00:54:43,117
when there was clearly a knife
on the bedside table?

837
00:54:50,750 --> 00:54:52,502
Victor uses "we."

838
00:54:56,422 --> 00:55:01,386
{\an8}"What we heard, what we saw,
what we did."

839
00:55:01,386 --> 00:55:02,512
The royal we.

840
00:55:02,512 --> 00:55:04,055
"We think it's an intruder."

841
00:55:04,055 --> 00:55:06,849
Maybe they talked about
the intruder story

842
00:55:06,849 --> 00:55:09,143
even before picking up
the phone.

843
00:55:11,145 --> 00:55:14,607
As the evidence developed,
I believe Victor came down

844
00:55:14,607 --> 00:55:16,609
and saw what the heck
had happened to Robert

845
00:55:16,609 --> 00:55:19,570
or what was in progress
happening to Robert,

846
00:55:19,570 --> 00:55:21,823
{\an8}and he screamed

847
00:55:21,823 --> 00:55:24,450
{\an8}at sometime
between 11:00 and 11:30,

848
00:55:24,450 --> 00:55:29,580
{\an8}and they still waited
until 11:49 to call 911.

849
00:55:31,666 --> 00:55:36,003
In my opinion, it's enough time
to orchestrate the scene,

850
00:55:36,003 --> 00:55:37,630
get the story straight.

851
00:55:37,630 --> 00:55:40,758
That is evidence
of the cover-up.

852
00:55:45,555 --> 00:55:50,518
Glenn's theory is they
stabbed him and they waited.

853
00:55:50,518 --> 00:55:53,229
Glenn said it was all
pre-scripted and acted.

854
00:55:53,229 --> 00:55:57,483
Victor's on the phone.
He's crying. He's freaking out.

855
00:55:57,483 --> 00:55:58,735
Was that all planned?

856
00:55:58,735 --> 00:56:02,488
How do you conjure up
the emotion involved?

857
00:56:02,488 --> 00:56:05,491
Meryl Streep couldn't do that,
for Christ's sakes.

858
00:56:17,003 --> 00:56:20,089
We were searching
through the house.

859
00:56:20,089 --> 00:56:23,551
It's a very controlled
environment at that point.

860
00:56:25,344 --> 00:56:28,389
When we were searching
Dylan's room...

861
00:56:30,433 --> 00:56:34,437
...we found hundreds
and hundreds of sexual devices.

862
00:56:35,938 --> 00:56:38,357
All this BDSM equipment.

863
00:56:40,068 --> 00:56:43,029
It was an extensive
collection--

864
00:56:43,029 --> 00:56:47,950
shackles, whips, chains,
all kinds of restraints,

865
00:56:47,950 --> 00:56:50,161
a device that looks
like a gas mask

866
00:56:50,161 --> 00:56:53,581
with a lock on the back of it,

867
00:56:53,581 --> 00:56:55,583
torture devices.

868
00:56:58,711 --> 00:57:00,588
Black leather flogger.

869
00:57:00,588 --> 00:57:04,342
Two chrome-plated
stainless-steel spacer bars

870
00:57:04,342 --> 00:57:07,095
to keep shackled limbs
spread apart.

871
00:57:07,095 --> 00:57:10,807
Leather neck restraints,
wrist restraints.

872
00:57:10,807 --> 00:57:12,725
Leather mouth gag.

873
00:57:12,725 --> 00:57:14,727
Nipple clamps.
Cock rings.

874
00:57:14,727 --> 00:57:16,062
Ball gag.
Double-headed dildo.

875
00:57:16,062 --> 00:57:17,772
Slapper.
Scrotal sheath.

876
00:57:17,772 --> 00:57:20,817
Goes on and on and on.

877
00:57:20,817 --> 00:57:22,735
This is an inventory
of the contents,

878
00:57:22,735 --> 00:57:27,698
{\an8}page after page after page
of S&M implements.

879
00:57:27,698 --> 00:57:32,412
It reads like a wish list
for the Marquis de Sade.

880
00:57:32,412 --> 00:57:34,997
{\an8}It's always a process
of discovery

881
00:57:34,997 --> 00:57:37,083
{\an8}when you're
investigating a crime

882
00:57:37,083 --> 00:57:39,669
{\an8}and you find some new fact.

883
00:57:41,295 --> 00:57:44,006
{\an8}We're trying to figure out
the relevance

884
00:57:44,006 --> 00:57:46,884
{\an8}of all this BDSM equipment.

885
00:57:46,884 --> 00:57:50,096
{\an8}Maybe he was forcibly raped.

886
00:57:50,096 --> 00:57:53,474
{\an8}It just sends it off
in a whole new direction.

887
00:57:56,227 --> 00:57:58,771
{\an8}The law enforcement officers requested

888
00:57:58,771 --> 00:58:04,527
{\an8}that we do a sexual-assault kit
on Mr. Wone.

889
00:58:04,527 --> 00:58:09,615
{\an8}The medical examiner performed
a rape-kit examination.

890
00:58:09,615 --> 00:58:13,161
{\an8}What that involves
is using a series of swabs

891
00:58:13,161 --> 00:58:17,373
{\an8}to swab Robert's inner thighs, genitals,

892
00:58:17,373 --> 00:58:23,796
{\an8}both the exterior of his rectum
and inside the anal cavity.

893
00:58:25,006 --> 00:58:29,677
{\an8}In that sex kit, she found
semen around his genitalia

894
00:58:29,677 --> 00:58:32,597
and inside his rectum.

895
00:58:32,597 --> 00:58:37,727
Now we have a potential
sexual-assault angle.

896
00:58:39,353 --> 00:58:42,273
We have DNA evidence.

897
00:58:42,273 --> 00:58:45,401
An intruder doesn't come in
and incapacitate somebody

898
00:58:45,401 --> 00:58:48,488
and sexually assault somebody
and stab them three times

899
00:58:48,488 --> 00:58:53,701
all unbeknown to
the three guys who live there.

900
00:58:53,701 --> 00:58:57,038
Now we think the identity
of Robert's perpetrator

901
00:58:57,038 --> 00:58:58,539
will be revealed.

902
00:59:00,249 --> 00:59:04,212
This is going to be
a clarifying moment.

903
00:59:04,212 --> 00:59:06,839
We get the DNA results back.

904
00:59:06,839 --> 00:59:09,759
We read the results.

905
00:59:11,719 --> 00:59:13,096
It turns out...

906
00:59:14,555 --> 00:59:17,725
...it's Robert's own semen.

907
00:59:29,237 --> 00:59:30,655
- You got to be
- ing kidding me.

908
00:59:30,655 --> 00:59:32,782
We have semen,
and it's Robert's.

909
00:59:32,782 --> 00:59:34,992
How does that happen?

910
00:59:34,992 --> 00:59:37,328
The toxicology results come in.

911
00:59:37,328 --> 00:59:41,249
Was Robert drugged
and then sexually assaulted?

912
00:59:41,249 --> 00:59:44,877
In Dylan's room, we found
all the torture devices.

913
00:59:44,877 --> 00:59:46,421
Why should it stop there?

914
00:59:46,421 --> 00:59:50,466
Do you accidentally
or intentionally kill somebody?

915
00:59:50,466 --> 00:59:52,885
The BDSM stuff is consensual.

916
00:59:52,885 --> 00:59:54,220
It only had relevance

917
00:59:54,220 --> 00:59:56,597
because Glenn had problems
with the case.

918
00:59:56,597 --> 00:59:58,433
If I'm gay
and I have two partners,

919
00:59:58,433 --> 00:59:59,892
you're gonna think
I murdered somebody?

920
00:59:59,892 --> 01:00:01,269
It's preposterous.

921
01:00:01,269 --> 01:00:02,687
Who killed Robert Wone?

922
01:00:02,687 --> 01:00:04,731
It is a mystery
that's captivated the area.

923
01:00:04,731 --> 01:00:07,442
The men who lived at that house
will go on trial tomorrow.

924
01:00:07,442 --> 01:00:10,403
This is a murder case,
but it's not a murder trial.

925
01:00:10,403 --> 01:00:13,406
What stood out to me
was the fight over the knife.

926
01:00:13,406 --> 01:00:15,908
That was not the knife
used to kill Robert.

927
01:00:15,908 --> 01:00:18,369
That was the plant knife.

928
01:00:18,369 --> 01:00:22,749
Glenn's job is to build,
"We think these guys did it.

929
01:00:22,749 --> 01:00:24,167
This is the motive."

930
01:00:24,167 --> 01:00:27,420
Our job is nothing
but utter destruction.

931
01:00:27,420 --> 01:00:30,214
The defense says the police
never really investigated

932
01:00:30,214 --> 01:00:32,592
that an intruder broke in
to the house that night.

933
01:00:32,592 --> 01:00:34,469
As reporters,
we're only getting

934
01:00:34,469 --> 01:00:35,762
what the police are telling us.

935
01:00:35,762 --> 01:00:37,764
But there's two sides
to every story.

936
01:00:37,764 --> 01:00:41,142
Glenn's basic format--
four people in a house,

937
01:00:41,142 --> 01:00:43,853
one person dead--
that is very persuasive.

938
01:00:43,853 --> 01:00:45,104
It stops there.

939
01:00:45,104 --> 01:00:48,608
The rest of it is
nothing short of voodoo.

940
01:00:48,608 --> 01:00:51,486
It's the most chilling
and baffling murder mystery

941
01:00:51,486 --> 01:00:53,613
with so many twists and turns.

942
01:00:53,613 --> 01:00:56,365
You can't make this stuff up.
