This morning, police apparently found former WABC Radio anchor George Weber murdered in his Henry Street apartment. According to the AP, the cops responded to the building because his co-workers were concerned when he hadn't shown up for work. WABC 7 reports, "Upon arrival, police discovered the 57-year-old Weber with a wound to his neck." There were no signs of forced entry. Weber had worked for 77 WABC for 12 years, but, according to his website, he was laid off last year; ABC Radio Networks later hired him as a freelance news anchor. WABC Radio issued a statement saying, "We are shocked and deeply saddened by the death of our colleague and friend George Weber, who was the victim of what police have deemed a homicide at his home in Brooklyn. An investigation has been launched by NYPD and we have been assisting them. Our condolences and prayers go out to George's family and friends at this very difficult time." more ›
