Who Murdered Robert Wone?

New Website Explores Evidence, Theories

WASHINGTON, D.C. - It has been more than two years since the murder of Robert Wone, the prominent attorney was found stabbed to death inside a friend's apartment in Dupont Circle in August 2006.

After many twists and turns, no one has been charged with the brutal killing. Now a new website has popped up to explore various evidence and possible theories and to dig deeper into the case.

"Who killed Robert Wone?" is topic number one on this new website, which was created by four amateur sleuths who live in the neighborhood.
 


One of the creators, Doug Johnson says, "When we started looking at it, this case was clearly just a puzzle. It was a puzzle where none of the pieces seemed to fit. Every theory that is offered has holes and problems."

It has all the makings of a modern day clue game, but it is reality. The homepage makes it clear with a picture of Wone's gravesite.

Johnson says, "Clearly this is not a game. A man was murdered and there is at least one person who knows the truth."

The website posts all the evidence, from crime scene photos to search warrants. It also has photos inside the Swann Sweet home and even traces the possible track of the killer.

It includes profiles of the three who lived at the home: Dylan Ward, Joseph Price and Victor Zaborsky. All of them are now charged with obstruction of justice in connection with the case.

David Greer and Michael Kremin also work on the website.

Kremin says, "The website has created a clearinghouse which enables people to more privately analyze and discuss some of these more controversial issues."

The website goes where mainstream media has not, exploring the alleged alternative sex lifestyle of the three residents. One profile lists torture confinement and caging as personal interests.

Johnson defends the post, saying, "We're hoping to hear more from people who have known any of these players in whatever context. It's relevant and it's interesting, and contributes to better understanding of what happened that night. "

The bloggers have backgrounds in public relations, digital media and journalism. Some comments have been eye opening.

Craig Brownstein, another creator, says, "It requires a degree of skepticism on our part every time we look at the comments every morning. What's real, what's not."

Johnson summed it up saying, "We're serving as clearinghouse for everyone to continue the discussion and to open it up. Hopefully by doing that, we'll get to the bottom of who murdered Robert Wone."
