Summary

On this episode of Wife of Crime, I'm telling Russ the insane case of Robert Wone! Robert spends the night at a friend’s home after a late work meeting. Less than an hour later, he’s dead. What should have been a straightforward case quickly turns into one of the most baffling mysteries we’ve ever covered. A timeline that doesn’t fit. A scene that raises more questions than answers. And a story that only gets stranger the closer you look. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Thank you. Hi guys. Just want to give a little disclaimer in the beginning. Not really a trigger warning, but I know some of you guys listen to us with your kids in the car, and I'll just let you know that over the next two episodes, this one and the next one, we are going to be

to give you a heads up, give you a warning, you know, listen with caution for yourself or anybody that this might not be completely appropriate for. Okay, here we go.

Okay, so first,

2:00.0

it has been a little bit of a while, not for an episode. We did a Patreon episode last week, but we haven't done a regular episode in two weeks. Oh, you know what it was too? We did that Epstein thing and I felt like I was recording every day. Mm-hmm. I mean, that was literally two months ago, Russ, so I need you to relax.
