This week we have a special episode for you!
We are joined by Carol Ford and Linda Groundwater, the authors of Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography. Carol and Linda walk us through Bob Crane’s career, addiction and his unsolved Murder.
From the biographers:
In the early morning hours of June 29, 1978, Bob Crane, star of the popular 1960s television series Hogan’s Heroes, was murdered. As he slept in his Scottsdale, Arizona, apartment, he was brutally bludgeoned to death with what detectives believe was a camera tripod. It was a gruesome crime scene, and Bob’s murder remains unsolved to this day, continuing to baffle detectives and law enforcement. His murder and theories about who may have committed the crime are of great public interest, often the subject of countless podcasts and television documentaries.
Bob had been appearing in his play, Beginner’s Luck, in Scottsdale, and the run of the show was nearing its end. Bob was looking forward to returning home to Los Angeles on July 4, focusing on new television projects, reconnecting with his family, and working on bettering his life with the help of a professional therapist. But it was not to be. Bob left this world abruptly by the cruel hands of another just two weeks shy of his 50th birthday. Ever since, his murder and the scandal that followed have overshadowed nearly everything else Bob did in his life.
The truth is, there is so much more to Bob Crane’s life story than his starring role on Hogan’s Heroes, his unsolved murder, and a stale tabloid headline. The book, Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography, written by Carol M. Ford, Linda J. Groundwater, and Dee Young, was extensively researched and vetted for accuracy. Their book and all of their efforts on behalf of Bob Crane are supported and endorsed by The Bob Crane Estate and many members of his family, earning them the designation as Bob Crane’s official biographers.
