Mike Webb was stabbed to death, says King County Medical Examiner

Shocking news this afternoon:

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.

[...]

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.

While we weren't big fans of Mike Webb or his show, we extend our deepest condolences to his friends, family, and loyal listeners in their time of sorrow. In retrospect, it's easier to understand why Webb was so paranoid about a possible attempt on his life. Hopefully, the investigation will uncover clues that will lead police to the arrest of the murderer.
