"Tom Wales was not supposed to be home on the night of October 11, 2001. Wales, an assistant United States attorney in Seattle, had planned to have dinner and spend the evening with his girlfriend, Marlis DeJongh, a court reporter who lived downtown. But that afternoon Wales called DeJongh and said that he had projects he needed to work on at home. In the evening, after leaving his office, near the federal courthouse, he returned to his Craftsman-style, wood-frame house in a quiet neighborhood known as Queen Anne," writes Jeffrey Toobin in next month's The New Yorker.
