Born in 1981 near San Diego, Roy moved to Newport, Rhode Island. His troubled childhood, marked by his father's departure and substance abuse, led to multiple runaway incidents and a state group home placement.
As a teen, Roy turned to sex work to fund his drug habit. He frequented adult video stores in downtown Providence and befriended Rich Holcomb, who shared a similar lifestyle. Despite legal troubles, Roy's situation worsened.
On December 25, 2003, Roy's body was found near Johnson & Wales University, shot in the head. Despite investigation, his murderer remains unidentified.
In Roy's memory, Rich Holcomb founded Project Weber in 2008, now Project Weber/RENEW, to aid male sex workers with resources and support. Rich also produced “Invisible,” a documentary on the overlooked male sex work industry. If you have information on Roy Weber's murder, contact the Cold Case Unit at 401.468.2233.
