Radio host Mike Webb stabbed to death
Seattle Pravda-Izvestia ^ | 6/29/07 | Seattle PI

Posted on 06/29/2007 6:00:46 PM PDT by IslandJeff

The King County Medical Examiner's office has confirmed that Mike Webb died of multiple stab wounds sometime after April 13. The death of the liberal radio host now is being investigated as a homicide.

"At this point it is still extremely shocking," said Bob Vesely,a friend of Webb's for 15 years and the web master of mikewebb.orgwhere Webb last broadcasted his show.

"We want Mike's progressive voice to continue."

Webb, 52, was last seen April 13, according to a missing-person report filed in May. His 10-year stint as a late-night talk show host came to an end in December 2005 when he was fired by KIRO-AM/710 after being charged with insurance fraud.

Seattle police crime scene investigators and homicide detectives were combing the house Webb had rented for 14 years in the 2500 block of Third Avenue West.

Don’t know the guy, and probably didn’t agree with his ‘progressive’ view...but no one deserves to be stabbed for that.

Does Bob have an alibi?

Really? He died of stab wounds in April, and it's almost July. They're now going to investigate it as a homicide?

Those cops out there must be pretty clever.

You really have no basis for thinking he was stabbed for his views, but personally I think Allstate did it.

Theories abound. And most will be posted here tonight. I will wait for the police reports before commenting.

In an interview with the Seattle P-I after his conviction, Webb denied any wrongdoing and claimed he'd been set up in an elaborate right-wing conspiracy.

"It may sound like the rants of some wacko," he said in February. But "what I believe happened is that there was a hacker who has been regularly hacking me."


Well, there you are. He was set up.
