The search for Mike Webb, the combative talk-show host fired from KIRO-AM who was last seen in mid-April, has ended.
Webb's badly decomposed body was found Thursday, June 28, wedged into a crawlspace in Webb's Queen Anne rental home on Third Avenue West.
He was 51.
The King County Medical Examiner verified the remains were Webb's the following day.
Seattle police have labeled the case a homicide, saying Webb apparently died of stab wounds.
Adding to the mystery: Approximately 10 days before the grisly discovery, police searched the home with a cadaver-sniffing dog and turned up nothing.
Webb was an openly gay, liberal talk-show host with KIRO-AM until he was charged with insurance fraud in 2005. In the aftermath of the firing Webb, at one point, was taken to Harborview Medical Center for a mental-health evaluation.
Webb's neighbors, according to news reports, had noticed a tough-looking crowd visiting his home in the months before his disappearance. Webb, who had been through alcohol and drug recovering programs, has been described as passionate in his outreach toward others caught up in the same behavior.
