Hoyt Park hunt for murder suspect Weber was ‘all hands on deck’

So many officers descended on Hoyt Park to join in the search for murder suspect Steven Weber on Tuesday that Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain lost count of the departments on the scene.

“That happens when you have an ‘all hands on deck’ situation,” DeSpain said, a day following the intense manhunt in the west side park for Weber, 49, accused of shooting and killing his ex-wife Francesca Weber on Saturday night outside her Fitchburg apartment.
