This article discusses the life and death of attorney Jonathan Luna. It took Jonathan Luna more than three decades to make himself an inspiring success story. Raised in the projects of The Bronx, he'd gone on to excel in law school and fashion a promising career as a federal prosecutor in Baltimore. But it took almost no time at all for him to become the center of a bizarre and troubling mystery. Six hours after Luna, 38, left his office at the Baltimore federal courthouse about 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 3, his body was found 90 miles away in rural Lancaster County, Pa. At first investigators operated on the assumption that Luna's murder was somehow tied to his work as a prosecutor: On the morning his body was found he was due in court to finalize a plea bargain in a case involving two violent heroin dealers.
