SEATTLE -- Seattle Police were at the home of missing radio host Mike Webb Thursday afternoon conducting what they called a “death investigation.”

Webb, a former KIRO radio late-night talk show host, has been missing since April 13, according to his family and friends.

According to police, the homeowner discovered a badly decomposed body inside the house.

Seattle police searched Webb’s home within the last few weeks but found nothing.

“Even though we were here in the past, that doesn't necessarily mean the body was even here at that time. So again we're going to have to, you know, continue to, continue to follow up on that," Asst. Chief Nick Metz with the Seattle Police Department said.

"There is something very dark about all of this. Don't know how it is all going to shake down but I don't have a good feeling about it and I haven't had a good feeling about it for months," Internet blogger Mike Hood, a one-time nemesis of Webb, said.

In early June, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News spoke with Webb’s friend and former producer Jeremy Grater, who was deeply concerned about Webb’s whereabouts.

“It’s disturbing; we’re all very concerned about him. I’m worried about him. It’s not like him to disappear for this long and to just take off like that,” Grater said.

Webb’s rented Queen Anne house is posted with notice to pay rent or quit the premises, and it appears Webb hasn’t been there in months, leaving all his possessions and clothing behind, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Karen O’Leary reported on June 14.

“The timing is really weird; I mean, if this were about taking off, if this was about hiding somewhere, this would have happened a long time ago,” Grater said.

Webb was convicted of insurance fraud and lost his job at KIRO radio a few years ago and was serving time doing community service until his disappearance.

“It’s a real tragedy right from the top. I mean, he was a man pretty much at the top of his game, in the middle of his life, who in a very short period of time went all the way down to the bottom and we don’t know how far down he really is right now,” Hood said.

According to the Seattle police missing persons report, Webb had been hanging out with a “shady character,” and text messages were received from Webb’s phone for days after his disappearance.

“One day you think the worst, and the next day you think maybe it’s just a big misunderstanding and will have the best possible outcome,” Grater said.
