Gay Yuppies May Have Murdered Straight Yuppie

Joe Price, 37, was a lawyer for Equality Virginia. One night, he invited his old classmate, Robert Wone, pictured left, to stay overnight in the elegant townhouse Price shared with his two roommates — partner Victor Zaborsky, 42, and friend Dylan Ward, 38, pictured right. By the time the roommates placed a 911 call several hours later, Robert Wone had been injected with drugs, sexually assaulted and stabbed to death. What’s more, Wone’s semen was found inside his own rectum.

It is perhaps not relevant that police found the roommates’ large collection of S&M fetish gear, along with numerous photos of the three men enjoying said equipment with each other. It is also perhaps not relevant that police found a New Yorker on the floor near the guest room where Wone’s body was placed. The magazine was open to a full-page drawing of William Shakespeare lying dead in bead; the positioning of his body mirrored the positioning of Wone’s body when it was found.

In any case, the crime scene was fishier than a vagina. The roommates, who had cleaned up thoroughly, pointed the police to a bloody kitchen knife that they claimed was the murder weapon. But it was soon clear that the knife was not consistent with Wone’s stab wounds, and that one or all of the roommates had wiped Wone’s blood on the knife after the murder and planted it on a shelf near the body to throw the police off track. There were no signs of breaking-and-entering and nothing was stolen.

All three men deny any wrongdoing and claim that an unseen intruder must have dunnit. Investigators have already waved around charges of obstructing justice and tampering with evidence. With this new, gruesome affidavit, investigators are likely attempting to pressure one of the men to confess or rat each other out.

One attorney tells the Washington Blade that because investigators "have not been able to make an arrest on murder charges after more than two years of intensely investigating this case,” it can only mean that "they don’t have enough evidence to obtain a conviction." The affidavit, this attorney speculates, "is meant to break the spirit and the will of all three players."
