Originally from Brooklyn, Robert Eric Wone was a young attorney living in Oakton, Virginia with his wife Kathy and working as General Counsel for Radio Free Asia in Washington, DC, when he was stabbed to death by an unknown person around 11 p.m. on 8/2/2006. I had the privilege of meeting Robert back in the summer of 1998 at an Asian Pacific American Bar Association-DC happy hour in D.C. Chinatown. Back then, Robert Wone was a summer associate at Akin Gump. He was a law student at U. of Pennsylvania law school, having graduated in 1996 from College of William and Mary.
After going to a continuing legal ed class and heading back to his office to work late the night of August 2nd, Robert went to spend the night at the D.C. home of his good friend from college, lawyer Joseph Ray Price, the night he was murdered. Price was a law partner at Arent Fox, having graduated from U. of Virginia law school. Price was married to Victor Zaborsky and had a relationship also with Dylan Michael Ward, who also lived with them at 1509 Swann St. NW. They called themselves a "throuple," although Price and Ward were known to be into S&M with other people. Ward was from a wealthy family in Tacoma, Washington. His father is Dr. Needham Ward, a cardiologist. Ward dabbled in different things, attending culinary school and studying writing at Georgetown University. He later went to Thailand to study massage and worked as a massage therapist and pilates instructor around Miami after Wone's murder. The three residents clammed up after Wone's stabbing and all claimed that an intruder must have broken into their home, taken a knife from their kitchen, and gone up the stairs to the guest room to stab Robert Wone, who was pronounced dead shortly after midnight at George Washington University Hospital. They were all tried in 2010 for conspiracy, obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence. Judge Lynn Leibovitz found them not guilty. Due to mishandling of the blood spatter evidence and Wone's Blackberry, there appears to be insufficient evidence to charge anyone with Robert Wone's murder. On this day which would and should have been Robert's 50th birthday, we remember Robert, who was a community leader and beloved family member and friend to many.
