Police have obtained a confession from an "emotionally disturbed" 16-year-old in the murder of former WABC radio reporter George Weber. The teen told cops that he answered a Craigslist ad from Weber seeking "rough sex." "He saw the victim's ad looking for violent sex and said 'I can smother somebody for $60' but it got out of hand," a source told the Daily News. Weber was stabbed several times, though he fought back, and some of the killer's blood was found on the scene. Police tracked him down using Weber's computer records.
