There’s no telling what the amount of contributions have been to the Robert Wone Memorial Trust since we started solicitating for them over two years ago.  We hope plenty of readers have reached deep to cut hefty checks. While fundraiser-in-chief, Jerry Lewis, has been sidelined from his annual MDA telethon, our Labor of Love will continue. 

And the good news is that it just became a whole lot easier to contribute to charities and organizations that Robert held dear.

The website of the Community Foundation for the National Capital Region is now accepting contributions online.  CLICK HERE to donate, and go to the pull-down menu and look for the Robert Wone Charitable Trust.

Good deeds by good people will continue, but only with your help. Thanks.

Purpose of this Site

On August 2nd, 2006, Washington attorney Robert E. Wone was murdered at 1509 Swann Street. Over two years passed before any criminal charges were filed - and then only conspiracy, obstruction of justice and crime scene tampering charges were brought against the Swann Street housemates, all present in the home on the night of the murder: Joe Price, Dylan Ward and Victor Zaborsky.

On May 17, 2010, a DC Superior Court trial got underway and all three defendants were all acquitted in that bench trial on those pending charges.

Nearly four years later, very little seems clear about what happened that night and who murdered Robert Wone. A cloud of suspicion remains over the Swann Street defendants who have denied any involvement in the murder of their friend or in the alleged cover up.

Judge Lynn Leibovitz found a moral certainty in their collective guilt, but not evidentiary certainty. Civil proceedings in a wrongful death suit filed by Robert's family is the next chapter in this tragic story.

We continue to work together seeking answers to the mystery of Robert Wone's murder and in finding justice for his memory and legacy.
