were ultimately transported down
to the Violent Crimes Branch

177
00:10:05,898 --> 00:10:09,902
to be interviewed
by the detectives in my squad.

178
00:10:09,902 --> 00:10:13,030
As the lead detective,
I stayed on the scene.

179
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:16,909
I walk up to the second floor

180
00:10:16,909 --> 00:10:20,204
and to the bedroom
where the scene is.

181
00:10:22,623 --> 00:10:24,083
It was shocking.

182
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:28,463
There's just a little bit
of blood on the pullout bed.

183
00:10:28,463 --> 00:10:30,840
There's something wrong here.

184
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,302
Where's the rest of it?

185
00:10:34,302 --> 00:10:38,514
This is not what I expected
to see from a stabbing scene.

186
00:10:38,514 --> 00:10:42,727
Two bloodstains on a sheet
and no other blood anywhere.

187
00:10:42,727 --> 00:10:45,396
You don't just take three
to the chest

188
00:10:45,396 --> 00:10:48,149
and lay there and die.

189
00:10:48,149 --> 00:10:52,403
On the floor, there is a towel.
Little to no blood on it.

190
00:10:52,403 --> 00:10:55,573
Again, I'm looking at the scene.
Where is the blood?

191
00:10:55,573 --> 00:10:58,910
Next to the bed, on
the nightstand, was the knife.

192
00:10:58,910 --> 00:11:01,496
It's got just
a little bit of blood on it.

193
00:11:01,496 --> 00:11:02,997
The mobile crime guy said,

194
00:11:02,997 --> 00:11:07,210
"Hey, the knife's from a knife
set in the kitchen."

195
00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:09,379
At the foot of the bed,
on the desk,

196
00:11:09,379 --> 00:11:11,756
was Robert's clothes
neatly folded

197
00:11:11,756 --> 00:11:13,925
with his wallet
and his BlackBerry.

198
00:11:13,925 --> 00:11:17,136
The bed comforter
had a perfect crease.

199
00:11:17,136 --> 00:11:19,013
The pillow was
at the head of the bed

200
00:11:19,013 --> 00:11:22,725
with, you know, a perfect head indentation.

201
00:11:22,725 --> 00:11:24,519
Nothing was out of place.

202
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:27,063
Nothing out of the ordinary
that would say

203
00:11:27,063 --> 00:11:29,941
that there was a murder
that occurred here.

204
00:11:31,943 --> 00:11:35,905
I've seen murder cases
involving one stab wound,

205
00:11:35,905 --> 00:11:39,409
and the crime scene
looks like a slaughterhouse.

206
00:11:39,409 --> 00:11:41,661
There's blood everywhere.

207
00:11:41,661 --> 00:11:46,374
This was completely inconsistent
with a violent stabbing.

208
00:11:48,167 --> 00:11:52,588
They knew there is a lot more
to this story.

209
00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:55,049
Where was all the blood?

210
00:11:56,342 --> 00:11:59,929
The detectives walked
into a very surreal scene.

211
00:11:59,929 --> 00:12:02,098
The odd behavior.

212
00:12:02,098 --> 00:12:05,059
All three of the roommates in
white bathrobes...

213
00:12:05,059 --> 00:12:08,771
- Appeared freshly showered.
- ...freshly showered.

214
00:12:08,771 --> 00:12:11,357
Very little blood on the bed.

215
00:12:13,276 --> 00:12:16,112
What the---- was going on here?

216
00:12:25,288 --> 00:12:28,624
As police work inside
this Dupont Circle row house,

217
00:12:28,624 --> 00:12:30,710
they are trying to determine
what happened

218
00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:33,671
to 32-year-old Robert Wone,
the prominent

219
00:12:33,671 --> 00:12:37,008
Asian-American attorney
found stabbed inside

220
00:12:37,008 --> 00:12:40,678
his friend's house
late Wednesday night.

221
00:12:40,678 --> 00:12:42,722
Back in August of 2006,

222
00:12:42,722 --> 00:12:45,683
I was a reporter
and I covered the crime beat.

223
00:12:45,683 --> 00:12:48,644
Robert Wone,
he decides to spend the night

224
00:12:48,644 --> 00:12:50,605
with friends that he knew.

225
00:12:50,605 --> 00:12:54,400
Within an hour, he's dead.

226
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,696
From there, the story is why?
Why was Robert stabbed?

227
00:12:58,696 --> 00:13:01,657
Who did it? He was only there
to spend the night,

228
00:13:01,657 --> 00:13:03,993
and he somehow got murdered.

229
00:13:03,993 --> 00:13:07,497
The night of August 2nd, 2006,
Kathy Wone,

230
00:13:07,497 --> 00:13:10,416
the widow of Robert Wone,
described getting a late-night

231
00:13:10,416 --> 00:13:12,835
phone call from
her husband's friend, Joe Price.

232
00:13:12,835 --> 00:13:14,379
His words were, "Kathy,

233
00:13:14,379 --> 00:13:16,422
I can't believe
I'm calling you about this,

234
00:13:16,422 --> 00:13:19,926
but you have to get to George
Washington University Hospital.

235
00:13:19,926 --> 00:13:22,136
Robert has been stabbed."

236
00:13:23,805 --> 00:13:27,809
Joe Price was the first person
to call Kathy Wone.

237
00:13:27,809 --> 00:13:31,020
It was shortly after midnight
to say Robert was stabbed.

238
00:13:31,020 --> 00:13:32,980
But Kathy doesn't learn
Robert is dead

239
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:36,275
until she arrived
at the hospital.

240
00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:38,319
Kathy called me the next
morning to tell me

241
00:13:38,319 --> 00:13:40,530
that Robert had spent
the night in Joe's house

242
00:13:40,530 --> 00:13:45,326
and that there was an intruder
and the intruder killed Robert.

243
00:13:45,326 --> 00:13:49,288
{\an8}♪

244
00:13:49,288 --> 00:13:52,291
And I felt like
I got hit by a truck.

245
00:13:52,291 --> 00:13:54,252
Robert was an amazing person.

246
00:13:54,252 --> 00:13:56,337
I don't understand, to this day,

247
00:13:56,337 --> 00:13:59,090
why that was
Robert's time to go.

248
00:14:00,675 --> 00:14:02,427
Really don't.

249
00:14:02,427 --> 00:14:08,015
{\an8}♪

250
00:14:08,015 --> 00:14:09,267
{\an8}[ Applause ]

251
00:14:09,267 --> 00:14:12,770
{\an8}Matron of Honor, escorted
by the Best Man,

252
00:14:12,770 --> 00:14:14,522
{\an8}Mr. Robert Wone.

253
00:14:14,522 --> 00:14:17,066
{\an8}Robert was murdered
two months after

254
00:14:17,066 --> 00:14:20,069
{\an8}he gave the best man
speech at our wedding.

255
00:14:21,821 --> 00:14:24,782
I am furious and enraged.

256
00:14:24,782 --> 00:14:27,410
I am...

257
00:14:27,410 --> 00:14:29,036
gutted...

258
00:14:29,036 --> 00:14:31,372
that my husband
lost his best friend.

259
00:14:31,372 --> 00:14:34,751
{\an8}Good. Darcey, look adoringly.
That's it. That will do.

260
00:14:34,751 --> 00:14:38,796
Robert was one of those people
who was just fun to be around.

261
00:14:38,796 --> 00:14:42,216
He had witty things to say.
He had insightful thoughts.

262
00:14:42,216 --> 00:14:46,721
He was just one of those people
who was always good to talk to.

263
00:14:46,721 --> 00:14:51,726
He grew up in Brooklyn,
went to Catholic school,

264
00:14:51,726 --> 00:14:54,187
got interested in politics
and public policy

265
00:14:54,187 --> 00:14:55,438
when he was in high school,

266
00:14:55,438 --> 00:14:57,899
and then wound up at
William and Mary.

267
00:14:57,899 --> 00:14:59,442
Robert was my best friend.

268
00:14:59,442 --> 00:15:02,945
Met him my first week--
first week at William and Mary.

269
00:15:02,945 --> 00:15:04,530
He was my friend
all through college

270
00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:08,826
and my roommate for
a couple of years here in DC.

271
00:15:08,826 --> 00:15:11,329
There was a secret society at
William and Mary.

272
00:15:11,329 --> 00:15:13,372
It's called the 13 Club.

273
00:15:13,372 --> 00:15:15,416
The club's purpose
was to engage

274
00:15:15,416 --> 00:15:18,086
in anonymous acts of kindness.

275
00:15:18,086 --> 00:15:19,629
There was a special bond
among people

276
00:15:19,629 --> 00:15:23,424
who were in the 13 Club,
which included Joe.

277
00:15:23,424 --> 00:15:26,386
{\an8}♪

278
00:15:26,386 --> 00:15:28,179
After William and Mary,

279
00:15:28,179 --> 00:15:30,598
Robert goes straight
to law school.

280
00:15:30,598 --> 00:15:35,561
I met Robert back in 1998
when we were both law students.

281
00:15:35,561 --> 00:15:40,733
Robert was such a nice guy
and so kind to everybody.

282
00:15:40,733 --> 00:15:43,778
[ Laughing ]
I had a big crush on him.

283
00:15:43,778 --> 00:15:46,447
Robert had not dated
a lot of people.

284
00:15:46,447 --> 00:15:49,075
He met Kathy in 2002.

285
00:15:49,075 --> 00:15:50,868
He came back from a weekend.

286
00:15:50,868 --> 00:15:52,912
He said, "I think I met
the woman I'm going to marry."

287
00:15:52,912 --> 00:15:55,415
I was like, "This is so out
of character for you.

288
00:15:55,415 --> 00:15:57,166
What are you talking about?"
He's like,

289
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,502
"No, I met the right person."

290
00:15:59,502 --> 00:16:03,256
It was quite the kind of
whirlwind meeting, engagement,

291
00:16:03,256 --> 00:16:06,509
and then wedding--
stunningly fast.

292
00:16:08,219 --> 00:16:11,222
At that time, Robert worked
for Covington & Burling

293
00:16:11,222 --> 00:16:14,100
as an associate
in their Washington, DC, office.

294
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:16,269
Eventually,
Robert decided he wanted

295
00:16:16,269 --> 00:16:18,396
to become general counsel
for Radio Free Asia.

296
00:16:18,396 --> 00:16:21,274
Robert's motivation was to make
a difference in the world.

297
00:16:21,274 --> 00:16:25,445
Radio Free Asia
was the place he could do that.

298
00:16:27,155 --> 00:16:29,532
A lot of us lived in DC.

299
00:16:29,532 --> 00:16:32,994
An incredibly
close group of people.

300
00:16:32,994 --> 00:16:35,580
Robert was always
close with Joe.

301
00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:39,167
Robert's 30th birthday party
was at their house.

302
00:16:39,167 --> 00:16:41,335
I worked with Joe,
Victor, and Dylan

303
00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:44,672
to plan and organize
his 30th birthday party.

304
00:16:46,466 --> 00:16:49,594
How does everybody
in this picture wind up

305
00:16:49,594 --> 00:16:51,471
in the same house overnight,

306
00:16:51,471 --> 00:16:54,557
and one of them
winds up murdered?

307
00:16:54,557 --> 00:17:02,815
{\an8}♪

308
00:17:02,815 --> 00:17:05,318
It's hard when you don't know
if you're dealing

309
00:17:05,318 --> 00:17:09,947
with a suspect,
a perpetrator, a witness.

310
00:17:09,947 --> 00:17:14,327
Doing that in real time
is a real challenge.

311
00:17:15,703 --> 00:17:20,875
After the three guys, Joe Price,
Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Ward,

312
00:17:20,875 --> 00:17:23,461
were transported down
to homicide,

313
00:17:23,461 --> 00:17:26,506
detectives get them in separate
interview rooms

314
00:17:26,506 --> 00:17:29,634
and begin to deal
with each story.

315
00:17:31,719 --> 00:17:33,388
{\an8}Price?

316
00:17:35,390 --> 00:17:39,268
Joe Price was the type A,
hard-charging,

317
00:17:39,268 --> 00:17:43,231
loud-talking
law firm partner type

318
00:17:43,231 --> 00:17:45,566
who was kind of
the leader of the family.

319
00:17:49,487 --> 00:17:52,156
His spouse, Victor Zaborsky,

320
00:17:52,156 --> 00:17:53,950
was a very sort of quiet guy

321
00:17:53,950 --> 00:17:57,537
who worked for the International
Dairy Association.

322
00:17:57,537 --> 00:18:02,625
He was the point person
on the "Got Milk?" ad campaign.

323
00:18:02,625 --> 00:18:05,753
Supervisor here.
This is Detective Norris.

324
00:18:05,753 --> 00:18:08,673
- Sir.
- Then you have Dylan Ward.

325
00:18:08,673 --> 00:18:11,843
He had a degree
in child literature.

326
00:18:11,843 --> 00:18:13,553
He was a masseuse.

327
00:18:13,553 --> 00:18:17,306
He kind of did
a number of different jobs.

328
00:18:22,895 --> 00:18:27,150
The detectives came to learn
pretty quickly these three guys

329
00:18:27,150 --> 00:18:29,193
not only lived together,

330
00:18:29,193 --> 00:18:31,988
this is a three-way
relationship,

331
00:18:31,988 --> 00:18:35,450
a polyamorous relationship.

332
00:18:47,128 --> 00:18:49,505
Dylan Ward was the third wheel

333
00:18:49,505 --> 00:18:53,051
in this
three-way family relationship.

334
00:19:39,013 --> 00:19:42,934
What the detectives find really
strange is it was the first time

335
00:19:42,934 --> 00:19:46,145
Robert had ever spent the night
on Swann Street.

336
00:19:46,145 --> 00:19:48,689
Knowing Joe, Victor,
and Dylan were in this

337
00:19:48,689 --> 00:19:52,110
polyamorous relationship,
did that have anything to do

338
00:19:52,110 --> 00:19:55,822
with why Robert was spending
the night at their house?

339
00:20:13,131 --> 00:20:14,632
To start off with,

340
00:20:14,632 --> 00:20:16,676
the detectives looking
through it

341
00:20:16,676 --> 00:20:18,886
with homophobic lenses.

342
00:20:18,886 --> 00:20:21,889
Every detective said,
"I just don't understand

343
00:20:21,889 --> 00:20:25,017
why a straight guy would go over
to the house of three gay guys."

344
00:20:25,017 --> 00:20:28,563
The entire police department
was biased.

345
00:20:39,741 --> 00:20:42,827
Robert was a promising
young lawyer,

346
00:20:42,827 --> 00:20:47,623
well-liked, he was generous,
very happily married.

347
00:20:47,623 --> 00:20:51,794
So why would somebody
want to do this to Robert?

348
00:20:54,213 --> 00:20:56,716
I had been covering crime
in Washington, DC,

349
00:20:56,716 --> 00:20:58,634
for a number of decades,
and I thought,

350
00:20:58,634 --> 00:21:00,219
there's got to be
more to this story.

351
00:21:00,219 --> 00:21:04,015
And that's when I got deeply,
deeply involved.

352
00:21:04,015 --> 00:21:06,934
August 2nd in Washington, DC,
in 2006

353
00:21:06,934 --> 00:21:10,772
is a typically hot
and steamy, awful day.

354
00:21:12,815 --> 00:21:16,194
Robert and his wife Kathy
took the Metro

355
00:21:16,194 --> 00:21:18,946
together that day into the city.

356
00:21:20,615 --> 00:21:22,742
As they do every weekday,

357
00:21:22,742 --> 00:21:25,203
they get off
at the Dupont Circle exit.

358
00:21:25,203 --> 00:21:28,831
They kiss good-bye at 8:45
in the morning.

359
00:21:28,831 --> 00:21:32,085
Robert then goes to work
at Radio Free Asia.

360
00:21:32,085 --> 00:21:33,836
He spends the day there.

361
00:21:33,836 --> 00:21:37,215
He had known that he was going
to have to be working late.

362
00:21:37,215 --> 00:21:38,758
He didn't want to have to take

363
00:21:38,758 --> 00:21:41,052
the Metro
all the way home to Oakton.

364
00:21:41,052 --> 00:21:42,303
So if he had stayed late

365
00:21:42,303 --> 00:21:44,889
to meet the Radio Free Asia
overnight crew,

366
00:21:44,889 --> 00:21:46,766
then he would be coming home
late to Kathy,

367
00:21:46,766 --> 00:21:48,518
and he didn't want
to keep her up

368
00:21:48,518 --> 00:21:50,603
because she
gets up early in the morning.

369
00:21:50,603 --> 00:21:52,647
He reached out to two friends.

370
00:21:52,647 --> 00:21:54,899
He had first tried to stay

371
00:21:54,899 --> 00:21:58,361
at the house
of a female friend from college.

372
00:21:58,361 --> 00:22:01,906
And what we understand is
that Joe got back to him first.

373
00:22:01,906 --> 00:22:04,659
In fact, Kathy reminded Robert

374
00:22:04,659 --> 00:22:07,370
that he was going to stay
at Joe's that night.

375
00:22:07,370 --> 00:22:10,623
Robert also had another reason
to hang out with Joe,

376
00:22:10,623 --> 00:22:12,125
which was that they were going

377
00:22:12,125 --> 00:22:15,712
to talk about
some potential work project.

378
00:22:15,712 --> 00:22:20,133
And at 9:30, he calls Kathy,

379
00:22:20,133 --> 00:22:23,970
and his last words
to Kathy were, "I love you."

00:22:23,970 --> 00:22:26,222

381
00:22:26,222 --> 00:22:27,849
"I love you."

382
00:22:27,849 --> 00:22:31,811
Who knew that that would be
the last time they would talk?

383
00:22:31,811 --> 00:22:36,107
At 9:40, he meets with the night
staff at Radio Free Asia.

384
00:22:36,107 --> 00:22:38,693
And then, we know,
from call records,

385
00:22:38,693 --> 00:22:43,156
that, at 10:24, he calls Joe.

386
00:22:43,156 --> 00:22:45,199
Robert gets a cab,

387
00:22:45,199 --> 00:22:49,328
and around 10:30,
he arrives at the house.

388
00:22:49,328 --> 00:22:52,081
We really know very little

389
00:22:52,081 --> 00:22:54,500

he places that call

is still back at the house

trying to gather as much
evidence as quickly as possible

401

about the course of the
interviews of these three guys.

We have their story
that said

404
00:26:06,109 --> 00:26:08,444
that somebody must have
come in through the back door.

405
00:26:08,444 --> 00:26:10,071
There was an intruder.

406
00:26:21,207 --> 00:26:26,045
Well, okay, let's go look
at the back of the house.

407
00:26:26,045 --> 00:26:28,172
It's just a small
little backyard and then

408
00:26:28,172 --> 00:26:32,301
a seven-foot security fence
that was dead bolted.

409
00:26:32,301 --> 00:26:34,679
Could somebody
get over that fence?

410
00:26:34,679 --> 00:26:37,557
Yes. Did anybody
come over that fence?

411
00:26:37,557 --> 00:26:41,394
There were cobwebs from
the trees to the fences

412
00:26:41,394 --> 00:26:44,814
that you can only see if you put
your flashlight up there.

413
00:26:44,814 --> 00:26:46,441
So you scale the fence,

414
00:26:46,441 --> 00:26:48,776
you don't mess up
any of the cobwebs,

415
00:26:48,776 --> 00:26:52,697
you don't mess up the pollen,
you don't disturb any dirt.

When you have a violent murder
happen inside of a home,

generally there's
a little bit of upset.

418
00:27:00,288 --> 00:27:02,415

It's a building that's more
than a hundred years old.

425
00:27:21,267 --> 00:27:24,979
You walk up and down
those 16 wooden steps,

they creak and they're loud.

427

They hear nobody climbing

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

429
00:27:40,036 --> 00:27:43,915

Victor and Dylan are being
kind of quiet.

437

And none of them seem to be all
that concerned that their friend

438
00:28:18,324 --> 00:28:20,410
was just slaughtered
in their house.

You know, I know...

440
00:28:35,049 --> 00:28:36,926
Joe was giving credence
to their theory,

441
00:28:36,926 --> 00:28:39,637
saying, "It sounds bizarre.
I agree with you.

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

518
00:34:17,433 --> 00:34:20,353
He found out
I was the lead detective.

519
00:34:20,353 --> 00:34:22,271
And what does he want to do?

520
00:34:22,271 --> 00:34:25,525
He wants to come
back in and talk.

521
00:34:25,525 --> 00:34:27,443
Initially,
the story we had was the knife

522
00:34:27,443 --> 00:34:29,487
was laying on Robert's chest,

523
00:34:29,487 --> 00:34:33,366
and he put it onto
the nightstand.

524
00:34:33,366 --> 00:34:35,618
Whenever he came back
and talked to me,

525
00:34:35,618 --> 00:34:39,455
he said that he pulled it
out of Robert's chest.

526
00:34:39,455 --> 00:34:41,833
What the----?

527
00:34:43,626 --> 00:34:46,129
So I get him back
into the interview room,

528
00:34:46,129 --> 00:34:47,880
and I start videotaping it.

529
00:35:08,151 --> 00:35:11,612
{\an8}♪

530
00:35:11,612 --> 00:35:13,823
He changed the story.

531
00:35:13,823 --> 00:35:17,660
That's something that a human
being never forgets.

532
00:35:17,660 --> 00:35:21,622
"I had to pull the knife
out of my friend's body."

533
00:35:27,003 --> 00:35:28,212
There were no witnesses.

534
00:35:28,212 --> 00:35:29,922
Why didn't he just stick
with his original story?

535
00:35:29,922 --> 00:35:32,925
"It was laying on him,
and I laid it on the table."

536
00:35:32,925 --> 00:35:35,053
The fact that he thinks
he pulled it out of him

537
00:35:35,053 --> 00:35:38,014
supports the fact
that he's telling the truth.

538
00:35:38,014 --> 00:35:40,016
He's in shock.

539
00:35:40,016 --> 00:35:43,728
I don't know
why he changed the story.

540
00:35:43,728 --> 00:35:47,023
In my opinion, you're either
doing it to protect yourself

541
00:35:47,023 --> 00:35:49,942
or you're doing it
to protect your loved one,

542
00:35:49,942 --> 00:35:51,402
one or the other.

543
00:35:51,402 --> 00:35:57,450
{\an8}♪

544
00:35:59,911 --> 00:36:06,834
{\an8}♪

545
00:36:06,834 --> 00:36:08,669
Generally,
an autopsy is performed

546
00:36:08,669 --> 00:36:14,050
within the first 24 hours
or so of a suspicious death.

547
00:36:14,050 --> 00:36:18,179
Dr. Lois Goslinoski, experienced
medical examiner in DC,

548
00:36:18,179 --> 00:36:21,057
conducted the autopsy
on Robert's body.

549
00:36:21,057 --> 00:36:25,228
In 2006,
I was a deputy medical examiner

550
00:36:25,228 --> 00:36:26,813
for the District of Columbia.

551
00:36:26,813 --> 00:36:31,526
At that time, I had done
approximately 2,100 autopsies.

552
00:36:31,526 --> 00:36:35,655
{\an8}Case number 06-1837.

553
00:36:35,655 --> 00:36:38,950
{\an8}Name of the decedent--
Robert E. Wone.

554
00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:41,035
When Dr. Goslinoski
does the autopsy,

555
00:36:41,035 --> 00:36:44,539
she finds a number of things
that are very curious.

556
00:36:46,207 --> 00:36:49,919
The first thing that I noticed
was three perfect

557
00:36:49,919 --> 00:36:54,882
slit-like defects
in the front of his torso.

558
00:36:54,882 --> 00:36:58,928
These were three surgical-like
defects.

559
00:36:58,928 --> 00:37:02,515
They're nearly identical
in depth, width,

560
00:37:02,515 --> 00:37:04,642
and orientation.

561
00:37:04,642 --> 00:37:07,729
The uniformity indicating
nobody moved,

562
00:37:07,729 --> 00:37:10,815
the attacker nor the victim.

563
00:37:10,815 --> 00:37:13,192
A methodical murder.

564
00:37:13,192 --> 00:37:16,654
If someone did get
close enough to him

565
00:37:16,654 --> 00:37:18,614
to cause wounds like that,

566
00:37:18,614 --> 00:37:20,533
then I would expect evidence

567
00:37:20,533 --> 00:37:23,369
that he was trying
to defend himself.

568
00:37:23,369 --> 00:37:25,496
Human beings can't help
but react

569
00:37:25,496 --> 00:37:27,790
to try to fight off
the attacker.

570
00:37:27,790 --> 00:37:31,919
But Robert's hands
had no defensive wounds.

571
00:37:31,919 --> 00:37:35,882
There were no wounds on
the palms of his hands,

572
00:37:35,882 --> 00:37:38,426
nothing on his forearms.

573
00:37:38,426 --> 00:37:40,803
No blood on his hands.

574
00:37:40,803 --> 00:37:44,724
Another major part of the story
that is so bizarre.

575
00:37:44,724 --> 00:37:47,060
I've seen tons of stabbings.

576
00:37:47,060 --> 00:37:49,771
I've never
even heard of a stab wound

577
00:37:49,771 --> 00:37:53,107
that somebody was stabbed
and they just die.

578
00:37:53,107 --> 00:37:56,861
The blood went over his shoulder
and down his side.

579
00:37:56,861 --> 00:37:58,654
He didn't even move.

580
00:37:58,654 --> 00:38:01,199
With the types of wounds
that Mr. Wone had,

581
00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:04,869
I would have expected
significant blood loss.

582
00:38:04,869 --> 00:38:08,664
From seeing the scene
where he was lying,

583
00:38:08,664 --> 00:38:12,085
very little blood was found.

584
00:38:12,085 --> 00:38:16,839
My conclusions from the autopsy
were that the cause of death

585
00:38:16,839 --> 00:38:19,675
was stab wounds of torso,

586
00:38:19,675 --> 00:38:22,970
and the manner
of death was homicide.

587
00:38:22,970 --> 00:38:27,600
But these wounds
were not immediately fatal.

588
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,188
There was blood that had leaked
into the small intestine.

589
00:38:32,188 --> 00:38:36,776
We know his digestive system
continued to operate

590
00:38:36,776 --> 00:38:39,612
for a period of time
after he had been stabbed.

591
00:38:39,612 --> 00:38:42,698
{\an8}There was a blood clot

592
00:38:42,698 --> 00:38:45,868
{\an8}filling a portion
of the small intestine.

593
00:38:45,868 --> 00:38:48,704
{\an8}We came to a consensus.

594
00:38:48,704 --> 00:38:51,124
Robert Wone was still alive

595
00:38:51,124 --> 00:38:53,960
while that blood clot
was forming.

596
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,464
He lived for a period of time
after each of those wounds

597
00:38:58,464 --> 00:39:00,258
were inflicted.

598
00:39:00,258 --> 00:39:03,261
To initially have internal
bleeding from a stab wound

599
00:39:03,261 --> 00:39:05,930
and not even move,
I found it impossible.

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

601
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,477
paralyzed.

602
00:39:11,477 --> 00:39:16,858
{\an8}♪

603
00:39:16,858 --> 00:39:20,987
Why did he not move?

604
00:39:22,238 --> 00:39:26,743
Was he tied up? Is that why
his wounds look so uniform?

605
00:39:26,743 --> 00:39:29,620
There was no evidence
of ligature marks.

606
00:39:29,620 --> 00:39:32,248
The reason why that
could have happened was that

607
00:39:32,248 --> 00:39:36,002
he was under the influence
of some type of drug.

608
00:39:36,002 --> 00:39:39,630
The autopsy showed
there was no signs of Robert

609
00:39:39,630 --> 00:39:41,466
being physically restrained.

610
00:39:41,466 --> 00:39:45,470
But they did find
those needle puncture marks.

611
00:39:45,470 --> 00:39:48,723
There were needle puncture
marks on his neck.

612
00:39:48,723 --> 00:39:52,435
There were needle puncture marks
on the back of one of his hands.

613
00:39:52,435 --> 00:39:57,482
A few more on his ankle and on
the top of one of his feet.

614
00:39:57,482 --> 00:40:00,151
It's not unusual to find
some needle puncture marks

615
00:40:00,151 --> 00:40:02,695
because they'll try
to start an IV line,

616
00:40:02,695 --> 00:40:04,363
whether by the EMTs
in the ambulance

617
00:40:04,363 --> 00:40:06,699
or the doctors at the hospital
trying to treat

618
00:40:06,699 --> 00:40:08,868
and revive a patient.

619
00:40:08,868 --> 00:40:12,163
And, so, we interviewed
them all.

620
00:40:13,331 --> 00:40:18,503
None of them could explain all
of these needle puncture marks

621
00:40:18,503 --> 00:40:21,047
to our satisfaction.

622
00:40:21,047 --> 00:40:24,801
In my opinion, some of
these needle puncture marks,

623
00:40:24,801 --> 00:40:26,803
particularly the one
that was right

624
00:40:26,803 --> 00:40:28,388
in the center of his chest,

625
00:40:28,388 --> 00:40:32,308
were inflicted on Robert
pre-mortem,

626
00:40:32,308 --> 00:40:34,310
before he was dead.

627

628

Which led us down the sort of
wild world of paralytics.

629
00:40:42,485 --> 00:40:46,197
What drugs might have been used
that correspond

630
00:40:46,197 --> 00:40:50,535
to those needle puncture marks
that incapacitated Robert?

631
00:40:50,535 --> 00:40:55,206
With any autopsy that you do,
you collect body fluid samples,

632
00:40:55,206 --> 00:40:57,250
a blood sample, a urine sample,

633
00:40:57,250 --> 00:41:00,420
and those samples
get sent away to a lab.

634
00:41:00,420 --> 00:41:04,424
I knew that that was the next
clue that I was going to have.

635

636

637

and as we waited
for the results of the autopsy,

638
00:41:13,433 --> 00:41:16,436
Joe Price, Dylan Ward,
and Victor Zaborsky

639
00:41:16,436 --> 00:41:19,272
were definitely suspects
in the case.

whomever is responsible?

One of the main reasons
I picked this place

649

was because it was safe.

homeowner Joseph Price

651
00:41:54,098 --> 00:41:56,225

Victor Zaborsky,

652
00:41:56,225 --> 00:41:58,436

leaders in the gay community.

662

{\an8}Joe was very out front,

663
00:42:34,263 --> 00:42:38,601
{\an8}very much an advocate
for gay rights.

664
00:42:38,601 --> 00:42:40,937
{\an8}The sentiment initially
was sympathetic

665
00:42:40,937 --> 00:42:42,522
{\an8}to the three gay men.

666
00:42:42,522 --> 00:42:44,482
{\an8}Joe Price was
a prominent attorney

667
00:42:44,482 --> 00:42:46,651
{\an8}working for a prominent
law firm.

668
00:42:46,651 --> 00:42:51,572
{\an8}He also was one of the founders
of an LGBT organization

669
00:42:51,572 --> 00:42:53,825
{\an8}called Equality Virginia.

670
00:42:53,825 --> 00:42:57,120
{\an8}At the time, gay marriage
was not recognized.

{\an8}In fact, the president
at the time,

672
00:42:58,955 --> 00:43:00,790
{\an8}George W. Bush,
was against gay marriage.

673
00:43:00,790 --> 00:43:02,583
{\an8}Gay and lesbian people in
Virginia were sort of treated

674
00:43:02,583 --> 00:43:04,502
{\an8}like second-class citizens
in a lot of ways.

675
00:43:04,502 --> 00:43:07,171
{\an8}And there really needed
to be an advocacy organization

676
00:43:07,171 --> 00:43:10,133
that spoke for gays
and lesbians.

677
00:43:10,133 --> 00:43:11,676
Joe Price was
on the front lines,

678
00:43:11,676 --> 00:43:15,930
actively pushing for kinds
of changes in equality

679
00:43:15,930 --> 00:43:18,349

at his side,

"USA Today" portrayed them

682
00:43:23,646 --> 00:43:26,733
{\an8}because they were on the
forefront of being a gay family

683
00:43:26,733 --> 00:43:31,154
{\an8}by being sperm donors
with a lesbian couple.

684
00:43:31,154 --> 00:43:35,324
{\an8}They were legitimately
forging ahead.

685
00:43:35,324 --> 00:43:37,034
{\an8}Joe was somebody that Robert

686
00:43:37,034 --> 00:43:39,746
{\an8}had always looked up to
and respected.

687

{\an8}I remember one of my first
thoughts being, "Oh, my God,

689
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,128
{\an8}like, are the guys okay?"

690
00:43:48,421 --> 00:43:50,465
After he was murdered,

691
00:43:50,465 --> 00:43:54,343
I spent the better part
of the next week with Kathy.

692
00:43:54,343 --> 00:43:56,596
And the family decided
that I should be the one

693
00:43:56,596 --> 00:44:00,850
to sit with Kathy
when the detectives came.

694
00:44:00,850 --> 00:44:03,186
The detective started
asking questions about

695
00:44:03,186 --> 00:44:07,356
Robert's relationship with Joe
and with Victor and with Dylan.

696
00:44:07,356 --> 00:44:09,108
And I remember
both of us thinking,

697
00:44:09,108 --> 00:44:14,322
"Oh, my God, the detectives
don't appear to be believing

698
00:44:14,322 --> 00:44:16,866
that there was an intruder."

699
00:44:16,866 --> 00:44:18,743
Here I had been operating
under the impression

700
00:44:18,743 --> 00:44:21,871
my friend had been the victim
of a random violent crime

701
00:44:21,871 --> 00:44:25,750
and then find out the detectives
had some suspicion

702
00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:29,295
that his friends were involved
in killing him.

703
00:44:31,005 --> 00:44:34,550
It was absolutely stunning.

704
00:44:35,968 --> 00:44:41,557
That night, Joe called me and
asked if I could talk to Kathy,

705
00:44:41,557 --> 00:44:44,185
and I think he used the words
"waive privilege"

706
00:44:44,185 --> 00:44:46,896
and share with him
what the detectives asked.

707
00:44:46,896 --> 00:44:52,193
{\an8}Joe Price's question about
what Kathy told the detective

708
00:44:52,193 --> 00:44:54,946
{\an8}was the first indication
to Kathy Wone

709
00:44:54,946 --> 00:45:00,368
that Joe might have something
that he needed to protect.

710
00:45:00,368 --> 00:45:04,872
The sense was that Joe
and Victor and Dylan

711
00:45:04,872 --> 00:45:06,165
were hiding something.

712
00:45:06,165 --> 00:45:07,208
Things didn't add up.

713
00:45:07,208 --> 00:45:09,627
The intruder didn't add up.

714
00:45:13,798 --> 00:45:16,843
Shortly after that,
Joe, Victor, and Dylan

715
00:45:16,843 --> 00:45:19,470
came to the house

716
00:45:19,470 --> 00:45:22,223
{\an8}and insisted on having
a private meeting with Kathy

717
00:45:22,223 --> 00:45:23,975
{\an8}down in the basement.

718
00:45:23,975 --> 00:45:26,728
{\an8}And...

719
00:45:26,728 --> 00:45:29,313
I don't know
what they said to her.

720
00:45:29,313 --> 00:45:33,484
But she believed their story.

721
00:45:33,484 --> 00:45:35,403
Kathy still really thought

722
00:45:35,403 --> 00:45:38,948
that the guys
were also victims in this.

723
00:45:38,948 --> 00:45:40,700
If your friend were killed,

724
00:45:40,700 --> 00:45:44,537
would you go interrogate
the widow?

725
00:45:44,537 --> 00:45:46,664
{\an8}Would you ask another friend

726
00:45:46,664 --> 00:45:49,459
{\an8}to find out
what the police were doing?

727
00:45:49,459 --> 00:45:51,502
{\an8}And lawyer up right away?

728
00:45:51,502 --> 00:46:00,344
{\an8}♪

729
00:46:00,344 --> 00:46:02,638
{\an8}It was a Saturday.

730
00:46:02,638 --> 00:46:04,140
{\an8}The phone rang.
I answered it.

731
00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:05,892
{\an8}He said, "Hi. This is Joe Price,

732
00:46:05,892 --> 00:46:08,394
{\an8}the suspect
in the Swann Street case."

733
00:46:08,394 --> 00:46:10,772
{\an8}And he said,
"I did a lot of research on you,

734
00:46:10,772 --> 00:46:12,523
{\an8}and you're--
you're a street fighter.

735
00:46:12,523 --> 00:46:16,110
{\an8}And that's--
that's what I need."

736
00:46:16,110 --> 00:46:17,528
I told him on the front end,

737
00:46:17,528 --> 00:46:20,198
"I don't want to hear,
'I didn't do it.'

738
00:46:20,198 --> 00:46:23,409
I want the unadulterated facts,

739
00:46:23,409 --> 00:46:25,912
no spin on it
one way or another."

740
00:46:25,912 --> 00:46:30,416
Price, in my mind,
he was factually innocent.

741
00:46:30,416 --> 00:46:33,294
Let's not hide from this.
They were all gay.

742
00:46:33,294 --> 00:46:35,296
They had police officers

743
00:46:35,296 --> 00:46:38,841
that were pretty
obviously homophobic.

744
00:46:38,841 --> 00:46:42,011
The detectives' theory is you're
in a three-way relationship,

745
00:46:42,011 --> 00:46:43,513
you're a freak.

746
00:46:43,513 --> 00:46:45,890
Therefore, who else
would have done it but you?

747
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:03,783
{\an8}Here we go.

748
00:47:06,244 --> 00:47:07,537
A lot of people are gay.

749
00:47:07,537 --> 00:47:09,122
They don't kill people
because they're gay.

750
00:47:09,122 --> 00:47:11,207
I mean, what, are you
from the friggin' stone ages,

751
00:47:11,207 --> 00:47:12,959
for Christ's sakes?

752
00:47:12,959 --> 00:47:16,713
Is it offensive to them that
they were talked to like that?

753
00:47:16,713 --> 00:47:18,548
Yeah, but that's all part of it.

754
00:47:18,548 --> 00:47:21,300
These detectives, they're not
homophobes and bigots.

755
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:25,388
They're trying to get
these guys riled up.

756
00:47:25,388 --> 00:47:27,974
The whole good cop/bad cop.

757
00:47:40,862 --> 00:47:44,615
{\an8}The detectives,
they had tunnel vision.

758
00:47:44,615 --> 00:47:46,617
{\an8}They never reconsidered
other theories,

759
00:47:46,617 --> 00:47:48,661
{\an8}other suspects, other evidence.

760
00:47:56,419 --> 00:47:58,004
No----ing way.

761
00:48:00,631 --> 00:48:03,468
Make no mistake about it,
there was no intruder.

762
00:48:03,468 --> 00:48:06,012
His client offered
the intruder theory.

763
00:48:06,012 --> 00:48:09,140
So there is zero evidence
of an intruder

764
00:48:09,140 --> 00:48:12,060
in the house to this day.

765
00:48:12,060 --> 00:48:14,771
I haven't been here
in more than a decade.

766
00:48:25,281 --> 00:48:27,450
It looks different.

767
00:48:29,327 --> 00:48:31,037
This is all new.

768
00:48:32,997 --> 00:48:35,958
You can see...

769
00:48:35,958 --> 00:48:38,002
same fences right here.

770
00:48:41,839 --> 00:48:42,715
Seven feet.

771
00:48:42,715 --> 00:48:45,510
The intruder would have somehow

772
00:48:45,510 --> 00:48:48,679
had to have catapulted
over that fence

773
00:48:48,679 --> 00:48:52,558
without disturbing the pollen,
the cobwebs.

774
00:48:53,810 --> 00:48:56,145
The intruder drops into
the backyard, goes over here.

775
00:48:56,145 --> 00:48:58,481
He doesn't get the large knife
out of the butcher block.

776
00:48:58,481 --> 00:49:01,484
No, he gets one of
the modest-size steak knives

777
00:49:01,484 --> 00:49:06,656
and then makes his way through
the house into the living room.

778
00:49:06,656 --> 00:49:08,074
Not interested in any

779
00:49:08,074 --> 00:49:11,327
expensive electronic equipment, apparently.

780
00:49:11,327 --> 00:49:13,996
He turns,
and up the stairs he goes.

781
00:49:13,996 --> 00:49:16,332
The stairs have been replaced.
They don't creak anymore.

782
00:49:16,332 --> 00:49:19,043
But they were loud 16 years ago.

783
00:49:20,712 --> 00:49:23,172
So once the intruder
gets to the top of the stairs,

784
00:49:23,172 --> 00:49:26,634
he is right smack in front
of Dylan's bedroom door.

785
00:49:26,634 --> 00:49:28,511
Has no interest
in going in that room.

786
00:49:28,511 --> 00:49:31,013
Instead turns 180 degrees

787
00:49:31,013 --> 00:49:34,684
and makes his way
to the front of the row house.

788
00:49:34,684 --> 00:49:39,230
The intruder doesn't stab Robert
upon entering the room.

789
00:49:39,230 --> 00:49:40,940
We know he didn't
stab Robert here

790
00:49:40,940 --> 00:49:44,110
because of the orientation
of the wounds.

791
00:49:44,110 --> 00:49:48,364
Instead, the intruder walks
around the bottom of the bed.

792
00:49:48,364 --> 00:49:53,369
Now, at the time, there was
a table at the foot of the bed.

793
00:49:53,369 --> 00:49:57,707
Two wallets on that table,
a BlackBerry, a Movado watch.

794
00:49:57,707 --> 00:50:01,044
The intruder has no interest
in any of those items.

795
00:50:01,044 --> 00:50:03,921
Instead he continues on
to this side of the bed,

796
00:50:03,921 --> 00:50:07,216
at which point the intruder
inserts a knife

797
00:50:07,216 --> 00:50:09,886
into Robert's torso three times.

798
00:50:09,886 --> 00:50:14,015
One, two, three.

799
00:50:14,015 --> 00:50:18,895
The intruder either left
the knife in Robert's torso

800
00:50:18,895 --> 00:50:22,732
or removed it and laid it
on top of Robert's torso.

801
00:50:22,732 --> 00:50:25,943
Joe Price told both
of those stories to the police.

802
00:50:25,943 --> 00:50:28,696
At that point,
the intruder comes back around.

803
00:50:28,696 --> 00:50:31,324
The intruder heads
to the back of the row house

804
00:50:31,324 --> 00:50:32,700
right in front of Dylan's door,

805
00:50:32,700 --> 00:50:34,577
has no interest
in going in there.

806
00:50:34,577 --> 00:50:36,913
Instead he heads
down the stairs,

807
00:50:36,913 --> 00:50:38,831
decides not to go
out the front door,

808
00:50:38,831 --> 00:50:41,459
because Joe and company
tell the detectives

809
00:50:41,459 --> 00:50:44,879
that remained dead-bolted.

810
00:50:44,879 --> 00:50:48,383
So the intruder makes his way
back through the back door,

811
00:50:48,383 --> 00:50:51,886
into the backyard,
leaping over the fence again,

812
00:50:51,886 --> 00:50:54,138
and he disappears
into the night,

813
00:50:54,138 --> 00:50:57,433
unseen, unheard, undetected,

814
00:50:57,433 --> 00:50:59,602
leaving no evidence of himself

815
00:50:59,602 --> 00:51:04,023
ever having been inside
1509 Swann Street.

816
00:51:04,023 --> 00:51:10,530
{\an8}♪

817
00:51:13,491 --> 00:51:18,704
{\an8}♪

818
00:51:18,704 --> 00:51:20,957
{\an8}The timeline
that we could prove

819
00:51:20,957 --> 00:51:23,876
{\an8}was that Robert called
from a desk phone

820
00:51:23,876 --> 00:51:27,130
{\an8}at Radio Free Asia
at 10:24 p.m.,

821
00:51:27,130 --> 00:51:32,468
{\an8}and then the 911 call is placed
by Victor at 11:49 p.m.

822
00:51:32,468 --> 00:51:36,848
{\an8}And then at 11:54,
the EMTs arrive.

823
00:51:36,848 --> 00:51:39,642
{\an8}79 minutes
is the accepted timeline

824
00:51:39,642 --> 00:51:41,894
{\an8}between when Robert arrived
at 10:30

825
00:51:41,894 --> 00:51:46,399
{\an8}versus the time
that Victor called 911.

826
00:51:46,399 --> 00:51:49,235
{\an8}Initially, when we were there
on the scene,

827
00:51:49,235 --> 00:51:53,030
{\an8}we could not go and talk
to the people next door

828
00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:55,158
{\an8}because you got a news camera
right behind you

829
00:51:55,158 --> 00:51:57,118
{\an8}looking into
these people's face.

830
00:51:57,118 --> 00:51:59,871
{\an8}They don't want to have
anything to do with that.

831
00:51:59,871 --> 00:52:02,123
{\an8}Ultimately, we did
door-to-door canvass,

832
00:52:02,123 --> 00:52:03,875
{\an8}where you just knock
on the doors

833
00:52:03,875 --> 00:52:07,336
{\an8}and they tell you
if they heard anything or not.

834
00:52:07,336 --> 00:52:08,671
{\an8}These are row houses,

835
00:52:08,671 --> 00:52:10,923
{\an8}so you share a wall
with your neighbor,

836
00:52:10,923 --> 00:52:12,467
{\an8}and some of them are paper-thin.

837
00:52:12,467 --> 00:52:16,179
{\an8}So you can hear what's going on
in your neighbor's house.

838
00:52:16,179 --> 00:52:20,099
Directly next door
to 1509 Swann Street

839
00:52:20,099 --> 00:52:23,770
was an older couple
that religiously watched

840
00:52:23,770 --> 00:52:26,647
Maureen Bunyan on the news
every single night.

841
00:52:26,647 --> 00:52:29,776
Live from the WJLA
broadcast center...

842
00:52:29,776 --> 00:52:32,361
Police and federal agents
searched a local home

843
00:52:32,361 --> 00:52:34,113
and took a suspect into custody.

844
00:52:34,113 --> 00:52:37,200
These neighbors were
interviewed by the detectives,

845
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,661
and they said,
"While Maureen Bunyan was on,"

846
00:52:40,661 --> 00:52:43,956
which is between
11:00 and 11:30 p.m.,

847
00:52:43,956 --> 00:52:45,500
"I heard a scream."

848
00:52:45,500 --> 00:52:49,629
That's the only scream
that anybody heard that night.

849
00:52:49,629 --> 00:52:55,134
{\an8}And that scream becomes crucial
to establish a timeline.

850
00:52:55,134 --> 00:52:57,970
{\an8}So we got the tape
from the news station.

851
00:53:00,014 --> 00:53:02,266
{\an8}The news was over at 11:30,

852
00:53:02,266 --> 00:53:05,645
{\an8}where Maureen Bunyan
was not on after that,

853
00:53:05,645 --> 00:53:06,979
{\an8}not even for a commercial.

854
00:53:06,979 --> 00:53:09,065
{\an8}And I'm Maureen Bunyan.

855
00:53:09,065 --> 00:53:13,820
{\an8}The loud scream was Victor's
upon seeing Robert stabbed.

856
00:53:16,531 --> 00:53:22,036
{\an8}Victor didn't pick up the phone
and call 911 until 11:49.

857
00:53:26,582 --> 00:53:33,381
{\an8}They waited between 19
and 49 minutes after a scream

858
00:53:33,381 --> 00:53:36,426
{\an8}to pick up the phone
and call 911.

859
00:53:36,426 --> 00:53:40,847
{\an8}You listen to the 911 call,
it's very bizarre.

860
00:53:44,642 --> 00:53:48,354
{\an8}To me, it sounds like Victor
is being prompted.

861
00:53:48,354 --> 00:53:53,151
I can't find an explanation
for why Victor,

862
00:53:53,151 --> 00:53:54,819
in a relatively calm voice,

863
00:53:54,819 --> 00:53:57,488
asks the 911 operator,
"What time is it?"

864
00:53:59,490 --> 00:54:01,909
"Our friend is dead
in our guest room.

865
00:54:01,909 --> 00:54:03,327
Somebody stabbed him.

866
00:54:03,327 --> 00:54:05,163
We think the intruder
has one of our knives.

867
00:54:05,163 --> 00:54:06,914
And, by the way,
what time is it?"

868
00:54:06,914 --> 00:54:09,041
You're applying
lifesaving techniques

869
00:54:09,041 --> 00:54:10,460
to a good friend of yours.

870
00:54:10,460 --> 00:54:13,379
What does it----ing matter,
Victor?

871
00:54:15,214 --> 00:54:18,342
{\an8}Are they trying to establish
elements of the timeline

872
00:54:18,342 --> 00:54:21,220
that they can use
and backfill later?

873
00:54:21,220 --> 00:54:25,475
So much in Victor's story
that night does not make sense.

874
00:54:29,479 --> 00:54:32,190
"The intruder
has one of our knives."

875
00:54:32,190 --> 00:54:35,234
That's not the way 911 calls go.

876
00:54:35,234 --> 00:54:39,197
Why does Victor say,
"He has one of our knives,"

877
00:54:39,197 --> 00:54:43,117
when there was clearly a knife
on the bedside table?

878
00:54:50,750 --> 00:54:52,502
Victor uses "we."

879
00:54:56,422 --> 00:55:01,386
{\an8}"What we heard, what we saw,
what we did."

880
00:55:01,386 --> 00:55:02,512
The royal we.

881
00:55:02,512 --> 00:55:04,055
"We think it's an intruder."

882
00:55:04,055 --> 00:55:06,849
Maybe they talked about
the intruder story

883
00:55:06,849 --> 00:55:09,143
even before picking up
the phone.

884
00:55:11,145 --> 00:55:14,607
As the evidence developed,
I believe Victor came down

885
00:55:14,607 --> 00:55:16,609
and saw what the heck
had happened to Robert

886
00:55:16,609 --> 00:55:19,570
or what was in progress
happening to Robert,

887
00:55:19,570 --> 00:55:21,823
{\an8}and he screamed

888
00:55:21,823 --> 00:55:24,450
{\an8}at sometime
between 11:00 and 11:30,

889
00:55:24,450 --> 00:55:29,580
{\an8}and they still waited
until 11:49 to call 911.

890
00:55:31,666 --> 00:55:36,003
In my opinion, it's enough time
to orchestrate the scene,

891
00:55:36,003 --> 00:55:37,630
get the story straight.

892
00:55:37,630 --> 00:55:40,758
That is evidence
of the cover-up.

893
00:55:40,758 --> 00:55:45,555
{\an8}♪

894
00:55:45,555 --> 00:55:50,518
Glenn's theory is they
stabbed him and they waited.

895
00:55:50,518 --> 00:55:53,229
Glenn said it was all
pre-scripted and acted.

896
00:55:53,229 --> 00:55:57,483
Victor's on the phone.
He's crying. He's freaking out.

897
00:55:57,483 --> 00:55:58,735
Was that all planned?

898
00:55:58,735 --> 00:56:02,488
How do you conjure up
the emotion involved?

899
00:56:02,488 --> 00:56:05,491
Meryl Streep couldn't do that,
for Christ's sakes.

900
00:56:05,491 --> 00:56:09,412
{\an8}♪

901
00:56:12,623 --> 00:56:17,003
{\an8}♪

902
00:56:17,003 --> 00:56:20,089
We were searching
through the house.

903
00:56:20,089 --> 00:56:23,551
It's a very controlled
environment at that point.

904
00:56:25,344 --> 00:56:28,389
When we were searching
Dylan's room...

905
00:56:30,433 --> 00:56:34,437
...we found hundreds
and hundreds of sexual devices.

906
00:56:35,938 --> 00:56:38,357
All this BDSM equipment.

907
00:56:40,068 --> 00:56:43,029
It was an extensive
collection--

908
00:56:43,029 --> 00:56:47,950
shackles, whips, chains,
all kinds of restraints,

909
00:56:47,950 --> 00:56:50,161
a device that looks
like a gas mask

910
00:56:50,161 --> 00:56:53,581
with a lock on the back of it,

911
00:56:53,581 --> 00:56:55,583
torture devices.

912
00:56:58,711 --> 00:57:00,588
Black leather flogger.

913
00:57:00,588 --> 00:57:04,342
Two chrome-plated
stainless-steel spacer bars

914
00:57:04,342 --> 00:57:07,095
to keep shackled limbs
spread apart.

915
00:57:07,095 --> 00:57:10,807
Leather neck restraints,
wrist restraints.

916
00:57:10,807 --> 00:57:12,725
Leather mouth gag.

917
00:57:12,725 --> 00:57:14,727
Nipple clamps.
Cock rings.

918
00:57:14,727 --> 00:57:16,062
Ball gag.
Double-headed dildo.

919
00:57:16,062 --> 00:57:17,772
Slapper.
Scrotal sheath.

920
00:57:17,772 --> 00:57:20,817
Goes on and on and on.

921
00:57:20,817 --> 00:57:22,735
This is an inventory
of the contents,

922
00:57:22,735 --> 00:57:27,698
{\an8}page after page after page
of S&M implements.

923
00:57:27,698 --> 00:57:32,412
It reads like a wish list
for the Marquis de Sade.

924
00:57:32,412 --> 00:57:34,997
{\an8}It's always a process
of discovery

925
00:57:34,997 --> 00:57:37,083
{\an8}when you're
investigating a crime

926
00:57:37,083 --> 00:57:39,669
{\an8}and you find some new fact.

927
00:57:41,295 --> 00:57:44,006
{\an8}We're trying to figure out
the relevance

928
00:57:44,006 --> 00:57:46,884
{\an8}of all this BDSM equipment.

929
00:57:46,884 --> 00:57:50,096
{\an8}Maybe he was forcibly raped.

930
00:57:50,096 --> 00:57:53,474
{\an8}It just sends it off
in a whole new direction.

931
00:57:56,227 --> 00:57:58,771
{\an8}The law enforcement officers requested

932
00:57:58,771 --> 00:58:04,527
{\an8}that we do a sexual-assault kit
on Mr. Wone.

933
00:58:04,527 --> 00:58:09,615
{\an8}The medical examiner performed
a rape-kit examination.

934
00:58:09,615 --> 00:58:13,161
{\an8}What that involves
is using a series of swabs

935
00:58:13,161 --> 00:58:17,373
{\an8}to swab Robert's inner thighs, genitals,

936
00:58:17,373 --> 00:58:23,796
{\an8}both the exterior of his rectum
and inside the anal cavity.

937
00:58:25,006 --> 00:58:29,677
{\an8}In that sex kit, she found
semen around his genitalia

938
00:58:29,677 --> 00:58:32,597
and inside his rectum.

939
00:58:32,597 --> 00:58:37,727
Now we have a potential
sexual-assault angle.

940
00:58:39,353 --> 00:58:42,273
We have DNA evidence.

941
00:58:42,273 --> 00:58:45,401
An intruder doesn't come in
and incapacitate somebody

942
00:58:45,401 --> 00:58:48,488
and sexually assault somebody
and stab them three times

943
00:58:48,488 --> 00:58:53,701
all unbeknown to
the three guys who live there.

944
00:58:53,701 --> 00:58:57,038
Now we think the identity
of Robert's perpetrator

945
00:58:57,038 --> 00:58:58,539
will be revealed.

946
00:59:00,249 --> 00:59:04,212
This is going to be
a clarifying moment.

947
00:59:04,212 --> 00:59:06,839
We get the DNA results back.

948
00:59:06,839 --> 00:59:09,759
We read the results.

949
00:59:11,719 --> 00:59:13,096
It turns out...

950
00:59:14,555 --> 00:59:17,725
...it's Robert's own semen.

951
00:59:17,725 --> 00:59:23,106
{\an8}♪

952
00:59:29,237 --> 00:59:30,655
- You got to be
- ing kidding me.

953
00:59:30,655 --> 00:59:32,782
We have semen,
and it's Robert's.

954
00:59:32,782 --> 00:59:34,992
How does that happen?

955
00:59:34,992 --> 00:59:37,328
The toxicology results come in.

956
00:59:37,328 --> 00:59:41,249
Was Robert drugged
and then sexually assaulted?

957
00:59:41,249 --> 00:59:44,877
In Dylan's room, we found
all the torture devices.

958
00:59:44,877 --> 00:59:46,421
Why should it stop there?

959
00:59:46,421 --> 00:59:50,466
Do you accidentally
or intentionally kill somebody?

960
00:59:50,466 --> 00:59:52,885
The BDSM stuff is consensual.

961
00:59:52,885 --> 00:59:54,220
It only had relevance

962
00:59:54,220 --> 00:59:56,597
because Glenn had problems
with the case.

963
00:59:56,597 --> 00:59:58,433
If I'm gay
and I have two partners,

964
00:59:58,433 --> 00:59:59,892
you're gonna think
I murdered somebody?

965
00:59:59,892 --> 01:00:01,269
It's preposterous.

966
01:00:01,269 --> 01:00:02,687
Who killed Robert Wone?

967
01:00:02,687 --> 01:00:04,731
It is a mystery
that's captivated the area.

968
01:00:04,731 --> 01:00:07,442
The men who lived at that house
will go on trial tomorrow.

969
01:00:07,442 --> 01:00:10,403
This is a murder case,
but it's not a murder trial.

970
01:00:10,403 --> 01:00:13,406
What stood out to me
was the fight over the knife.

971
01:00:13,406 --> 01:00:15,908
That was not the knife
used to kill Robert.

972
01:00:15,908 --> 01:00:18,369
That was the plant knife.

973
01:00:18,369 --> 01:00:22,749
Glenn's job is to build,
"We think these guys did it.

974
01:00:22,749 --> 01:00:24,167
This is the motive."

975
01:00:24,167 --> 01:00:27,420
Our job is nothing
but utter destruction.

976
01:00:27,420 --> 01:00:30,214
The defense says the police
never really investigated

977
01:00:30,214 --> 01:00:32,592
that an intruder broke in
to the house that night.

978
01:00:32,592 --> 01:00:34,469
As reporters,
we're only getting

979
01:00:34,469 --> 01:00:35,762
what the police are telling us.

980
01:00:35,762 --> 01:00:37,764
But there's two sides
to every story.

981
01:00:37,764 --> 01:00:41,142
Glenn's basic format--
four people in a house,

982
01:00:41,142 --> 01:00:43,853
one person dead--
that is very persuasive.

983
01:00:43,853 --> 01:00:45,104
It stops there.

984
01:00:45,104 --> 01:00:48,608
The rest of it is
nothing short of voodoo.

985
01:00:48,608 --> 01:00:51,486
It's the most chilling
and baffling murder mystery

986
01:00:51,486 --> 01:00:53,613
with so many twists and turns.

987
01:00:53,613 --> 01:00:56,365
You can't make this stuff up.

988
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:20,723
{\an8}♪
