    10. 1. The Murder of Robert Eric Wone

      Description: 

      In our very first episode, we cover the strange case of Robert Eric Wone, who was stabbed to death in his friends' Dupont Circle townhouse, where he was staying the night after a late night of work. The three residents of the townhouse maintain their innocence and deny any involvement, though the explanation they offer is just as implausible as the police's. This tragic case remains unsolved to this day and continues to be one of DC's most notorious unsolved mysteries.
