Craigslist Teen Hustler arrested in WABC George Weber’s Murder


New York City Police say a 16y.o. teenager John Katehis is in custody in the brutal slaying of veteran New York City radio reporter George Weber. The two met via an ad Weber had placed on Craiglslist looking for “rough sex” with a Hispanic man.

Weber’s body was found Sunday. His ankles were bound, and he was stabbed about 50 times. Wounds on his hands indicate he tried to fight back.

Katehis writes in his MySpace profile "I like to do crazy and wild things.im like an adrenaline junkie, I'm always looking for a big thrill, I'm a big risk taker and like to live life on the edge.I am an Extremist, an Anarchist,and a Sadomasochist. As long as you show respect for me i will show respect for you, if you disrespect me, then i will fucking break your neck." The photo above from his page Katehis is posing with his knife and sword collection.

Long Island newspaper Newsday, quoting unnamed police sources, reported that the teen told investigators he saw it as an easy way to make money for smothering someone and engaging in other forms of rough sex. Gay porn was reportedly strewn about the home. The teen allegedly tried to clean up after the killing, then turned on the water taps throughout the home before fleeing.

Weber worked at WABC in New York for 12 years as the on-air reporter for popular shows such as “Curtis and Kuby.” He also had worked at stations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver and Pennsylvania.
