And a verdict can be expected … almost four years after Robert Wone was killed in D.C., with his then-housemates the alleged killers. [Who Murdered Robert Wone]
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
Four years… Unbelievable. Innocent until proven guilt but this has looked wrong from the start. And the housemates aren’t even being tried for murder it should be noted. Pity. Justice. Closure. Hopefully.
Wone’s alleged killers weren’t his housemates. Wone was a friend of one of the housemates. Wone was working late and his college friend offered to let Wone sleep over. Wone called his wife to let her know where he was staying. While there, Wone was drugged, raped, and murdered.
Good catch Blake. And it was three gays guys in the house at the time their straight friend was drugged, raped and murdered.
None of them saw a thing.
And one of those housemates had the temerity to serve as a pallbearer at his funeral 3 days later. This is an unreal case. queerty one of the few blogs to give it coverage.
I got the impression his friend allowed the guy to use the house while friend and room mates were out partying. I was under the impression the friends came home and found him dead and then cleaned him up so that no one would know he was there to cheat on his wife…with another guy. It was some kind of hook up gone bad and they tried to preserve his “straight” facade for his family’s sake.

Queerty,
Wone’s alleged killers weren’t his housemates. Wone was a friend of one of the housemates. Wone was working late and his college friend offered to let Wone sleep over. Wone called his wife to let her know where he was staying. While there, Wone was drugged, raped, and murdered.

It appears as though Wone was raped by three gay men. The media won’t report this case because it makes the gay community look bad.
