Missing Pieces, a FOX 5 True Crime/Mystery podcast, shines a light on the cases that have left us with more questions than answers. In The Mansion Murders series, we explore a story that captivated the nation in 2015, after the Savopoulos family and their housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa were brutally murdered. Then, FOX 5 reporter Bob Barnard examines the disappearance of young Maryland siblings Sarah and Jacob Hoggle, a case which has mystified and frustrated their father, police, prosecutors and the community for more than three years. FOX 5 reporter Melanie Alnwick investigated the disappearance of Alison Thresher, a Bethesda mother who vanished 18 years ago. Now, Alnwick is exploring the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Terrence Woods, a young filmmaker from Maryland who disappeared in Idaho in October 2018.

On Aug. 2, 2006, a 32-year-old married attorney is found stabbed to death inside the home of a friend in Washington, D.C. The three gay men who lived there said an intruder did it. But police found no evidence of an intruder and suspected the scene had been cleaned up. Even more chilling, an autopsy found Robert Wone had been sexually assaulted, had no defensive wounds to his hands and may have been drugged before his death. Joseph Price, Victor Zaborsky and Dylan Ward were all charged with obstruction of justice, conspiracy to obstruct justice and tampering with evidence but were acquitted at trial. Thirteen years later the mystery endures. Who murdered Wone and why?
