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.

Believe they just found his body.

I hope not. That would make my comment ignorant and judgmental.

Too funny! Glad I have AAA. Used to have Allstate but the one time I made a claim I found that their ‘good hands’ were in my wallet. AAA has been nothing but EXCELLENT for me since 1989 when I signed on - I’ve had claims on my cars and my house and each time they’re prompt, courteous, and in one case they *corrected* my claim and added things into I’d missed. Blew my mind!

I really don’t want to tick off anyone since I post so seldom. Would someone please hit “Abuse” on my #3? A quicker FReeper got the story earlier, though it only broke a few hours ago.

Thanks.

unlike Fred Thompson, one of his ex-girl or boyfriend was not so eager to forgive him, i’ll wager.

Just the facts ma'am, Mike Webb hadn't been a radio host, since December 2005. You could say he was on the Tom Dashle Progressive InternetWork streaming internet everywhere.

From a June 15 story,

"Webb's Queen Anne home appeared on Friday to have long been abandoned. An eviction warning was affixed to his front door, advising that June's rent had not been paid.

Dozens of flies were visible buzzing around the interior, where books and other items apparently belonging to Webb lay undisturbed."

Top flight police work.

Vicious stabbings are usually the modus operandi of scorned lovers in the homosexual community. I don’t know this man, never heard of him, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that this is the case.

Does this mean that suicide crossed somebody's mind

"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."

Are you making a funny or did he really say someone was 'hacking' him? Talk about ironic!

Webb’s insurance fraud conviction stemmed from a 2005 car wreck in which Webb’s Lexus was hit by an uninsured driver. King County prosecutors argued Webb bought a comprehensive insurance plan the day after the crash and filed a claim for the damage.

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.

Yeah, thats it !! The right wingers made me buy extra insurance the day after my car wreck.

They just found the body in his own home (hidden in a crawl space, apparently).
