GEORGE WEBER KILLED

Former WABC radio news anchor George Weber was found dead inside his
Brooklyn apartment this morning after failing to report to work for
two days, sources told The Post.
Weber, who would have turned 58 tomorrow, was discovered in his bed
shortly before 10 a.m. today with multiple stab wounds to his neck
after his bosses, concerned that he hadn't shown up for work, called
cops.
Police sources said they believed Weber had been murdered some time on
Friday evening.
"It's tough to imagine things like this happening in our
neighborhood," said one neighbor, who did not identify himself. "It's
really unsettling."
There were no signs of forced entry, but a police source said the
bathtub spigot was running and neighbors said the apartment had been
ransacked.
According to his web site, Weber was a news anchor for the talk radio
station for about a decade, before he was let go last year.
Since then, he has worked for ABC News, which provides national
network news to stations across the country, including WABC.
His blog contained an entry dated Friday, recounting several
unpleasant encounters with bedbugs in his apartment, and lauding Mayor
Bloomberg for setting up a Bed Bug Advisory Council last week.
A source said police initially visited the building this morning at 1
a.m., but got no answer and did not want to break the door down. When
they returned nine hours later, a neighbor guided them to a side door
Weber kept unlocked.
