The Washington Post Set to Splash (Updated)
Page one of the Metro section in Sunday’s Washington Post promotes a washingtonpost.com exclusive investigation of the Wone murder entitled “Murder on Swann Street.”
The above-the-fold tease:
“In a fashionable Dupont Circle home on a sweltering midsummer evening in 2006, a successful young lawyer named Robert Wone, an overnight guest, is found stabbed to death in bed.
The housemates he was visiting – three professional, highly educated men, a self-described “polyamorous family” – immediately fall under suspicion. But how could they have done it? And why would they?
Three years later, the questions linger as investigators try to prove a bizarre theory of what happened that night and as the lore surrounding the murder continues to grow.
In a two-part narrative, The Washington Post examines the tortuous parlor mystery at 1509 Swann Street, NW, an intriguing, vexing whodunit with strange sexual overtones and clues and characters fit for a pulp novel.”
Bulleted highlights include: a diagram of the house recreating the scene and path that may have been taken by the “intruder;” biographies of the principals; the original Ward affidavit; a time line of the major events; and the audio of Zaborsky’s 9-1-1 call.
Monday was to have been Robert’s 35th birthday and we’ll mark it by celebrating his life and achievements throughout the week.

Tough day for the Wone family coming up, one among many.
