Who Killed Robert Wone?

32-year-old Robert Wone was fatally stabbed on August 2, 2006, in a rowhouse owned by his friend Joseph Price. The property was also occupied by Victor Zaborsky, Price's domestic partner, and Dylan Ward, their acquaintance and rumored lover. Zaborsky called the police on the night of the murder and reported the case.

The events of the fateful night, as per the official synopsis by Peacock, are:

"On the night of August 2, 2006, Victor Zaborsky called 911 to report an intruder stabbing a friend at the D.C. home he shares with Joe Price and Dylan Ward. First responders arrive to find attorney Robert Wone already dead in the guest room. With little blood at the scene and no signs of struggle or robbery, suspicions heighten after police interview the three housemates."

It further reads:

"Believing the men know more than they are revealing, the investigation soon uncovers more questions than answers. Unthinkable twists and turns surface, leaving friends questioning how well they knew the three men and police struggling to nail down answers. Ultimately, prosecutors bring an unusual set of charges against the three residents -- but not for murder."

The synopsis ends with a note on how the accused, Zaborsky and Ward, maintained their innocence and fought to clear their names, yet those close to Robert sought the truth and tried to heal from unimaginable loss.
