For several years he was on the WABC 77 morning show, with Curtis Sliwa and Ron Kuby in New York City.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Weber began his radio career at WBUX (AM) in Doylestown.
Two and a half years later (after KIMN's demise) Weber went to crosstown rival KOA, where he began a new career as the host of a night-time talk show.
The last story on his website was published on the same day he died, March 20, 2009, and described an outbreak of bed bugs around his Carroll Gardens neighborhood.
[6] A co-worker became concerned when he didn't show up for work on Saturday, so police were dispatched to Weber's apartment on Sunday at 12:30am, but they noticed nothing amiss, and left.
When the co-worker called again at 8:30 a.m., police returned to the building, where a neighbor said he heard water running in the newsman's apartment all night.
[9] On March 25, police arrested 16-year-old student John Katehis of East Elmhurst, Queens, New York for the murder.
[15] Katehis was charged as an adult[16] with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon, and pleaded not guilty, despite his confession.
[citation needed] Author David McConnell, in his book American Honor Killings: Desire and Rage Among Men explored the Katehis case as a main example of lethal hate crimes on homosexual men where the perpetrators exhibited some degree of homosexuality themselves.
