  • Summary

  • Robert Wone and Joseph Price were unlikely friends. Having met in college, both went on to become promising young lawyers in Washington, DC. This is where their similarities ended. Robert, a fourth-generation Chinese American, was newly married to his wife Kathy and was about to embark on a new career. Joseph, a prominent LGBTQ activist, became known for his wealth and his unconventional sexual relationship with his partner, Victor Zaborsky, and the third man in their relationship, Dylan Ward.

    On the night of August 2, 2006, the lives of these two unlikely friends changed forever when Robert is found stabbed to death in Joseph’s guest room. True crime junkie H. Alan Scott re-investigates this cold case, hoping to discover more about who murdered Robert Wone, talking to those who lived it, covered it, and from within the LGBTQ community.

A good introduction to the case.

This is another of the 'I've read a book, listened to a podcast and watched a Youtube video, so I think I'll do my own podcast on the subject.' Even though this was my first introduction to the strange case, I could tell there was nothing groundbreaking.
That said, if like me, this IS your first introduction to the weird and sad murder of Robert Wone, this podcast is an excellent stepping off point for further searching. If you already know about the strange goings on of the thrupple, there will be nothing new, so probably not for you.
One thing that amused me, is the amount of times the writer says, 'I reached out to so-and-so (prime murder suspect, victims wife etc.), but they didn't want to take part'; why the heck would they?
Overall, enjoyable but somehow unsatisfying.

Very good podcast

The narrative was captivating and presented all aspects of the story in a respectful and thorough manner. I genuinely hope that the truth will be revealed one day.

Doesn’t go anywhere

One point is the music, it sets the tone. I think it cheapens the quality and purpose of the series. It buys into the ‘shock and gore’ aspect of true crime series’ looking to make a quick buck. However the tone and themes of the podcast were much more subtle and nuanced. Interestingly presented but unfortunately I don’t think it added enough to the case to warrant the production.
Maybe this came down to hype over substance.

Good story but no new info

If you've not heard of this case then the podcast is a relatively interesting but straightforward true crime case. However, there's no new information, no interviews with key players (most refused to be interviewed) and most of the information appears to come from someone else's pre-existing blog. Only worth a listen if you're bored.
