Kathy Wone, the widow of slain D.C. lawyer Robert Wone, released a statement to the media on Sunday night, on the third anniversary of the still unsolved crime:
“My husband, Robert, was a beautiful, loving person who was murdered in the prime of his life three years ago today. From the beginning, those who victimized Robert — and his family — have sought to cover-up and delay, hoping that we would forget. But we will not forget; we will never forget. The residents of Washington, D.C. must ensure that this case is solved and that those responsible are held to account. From this point forward, we expect the pending criminal proceedings to move expeditiously. In a case that already has languished for three years, there can be no more delays. We owe it to Robert — who did so much for so many — to bring to justice the persons responsible for his murder and the cover-up of his murder.”
The bloggers at Who Murdered Robert Wone? have also been posting special 3rd anniversary updates since the weekend, which look back at the earliest reports of the crime. To date, no murder charges have been filed in the killing, but roommates and partners Joe Price, Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Ward are all facing obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges, and the Wone family has filed a wrongful death suit against the three men. The criminal trial won’t begin until next spring.
