WABC's George Webber found dead

New York has its share of controversial celebrities, but George Webber was never one of them. Mr. Webber, a news anchorman for WABC radio, was found stabbed to death this weekend in his apartment.

News ran through his veins and arteries 24 hours a day," Sliwa said.
"He wasn't a rip-and-read newsman. He wanted to be there," he said. "And you know what his trick was? He'd pack up his dog, Noodles, a dachshund, and walk him there. People would see the dog, they'd pet the dog, they'd get a level of comfort with him. And then he could get them to talk."
Ironically, his death is sure to be one heck of a news story for some young reporter.
