Webb was arrested in Florida on a [...] warrant in the December 1986 shooting death of his girlfriend, Anna Anton. He was recognized by a friend who was watching the NBC program Unsolved Mysteries. Anton, 34, disappeared December 15, 1986, and her body was found 12 days later 20 miles north of Lyons. She had been shot three times.

In addition to national exposure for years on Unsolved Mysteries, there were also feature articles by the Associated Press, the Chicago Tribune, the then Cincinnati Post, and Orlando Sentinel, among others.

Anton lived below Webb's apartment. Several weeks before she disappeared, she gave Shirley Edgecomb, her closest neighbor in Lyons, an envelope containing the name of a woman friend in Iowa to contact "in case anything happens to me," Edgecomb said Anton told her.

Webb was released from prison on August 22, 2002. The duplex, where Anton lived in the lower apartment and Webb in the upper, was demolished in 2008. In October 2008, SPIKE TV's revived 'Unsolved Mysteries', hosted by Dennis Farina, featured Webb's case again and provided an update on his case.
