Who Killed Robert Wone?

Some cases haunt you precisely because nothing ever closes. Robert Wone, a young lawyer, spent the night at his friend's Washington DC home in 2006 and was found stabbed to death in the guest room hours later. Who Killed Robert Wone? revisits that night with a careful, methodical eye — and lands on the question the title promises.

What the series does best is the physical evidence. The wounds, the timeline, the implausibly tidy scene — each detail is laid out plainly, and each one points somewhere the justice system never went. Three men lived in that house, all with every reason to know what happened, and none was ever convicted.

The series resists turning the case into a sensation. It interviews the investigators, the lawyers, the friends — and lets the silences sit. The result is less a whodunit than a study of how a case can be airtight on instinct and empty in court.

It's frustrating by design, because the ending is the ending in real life: unresolved. But as an anatomy of an unsolved case, this is absorbing and precise and leaves you to come to your own conclusion.
