Who killed actor Bob Crane 46 years ago ?

Nobody has bothered to find his killer because Bob Crane was a nasty ass human being and major alky/drug/pron addict who burned all his bridges. Nobody really cared if he was dead or alive.

In a very true sense America killed Bob Crane.

^^^hunh?

One of the women who found out she was part of his sex tape.

OP, thanks so much for addressing this topic!

It’s hard to believe DL has not been discussed the issue before. /s

[quote] One of the women who found out she was part of his sex tape.

More likely, a very pissed off husband or boyfriend

Maybe the woman had a boyfriend/husband or a close friend or relative who was a police officer who knew how to cover their tracks.

R5 I remember a thread on this some years back.

OR his shenanigans pissed off the wrong people in Hollywood and they hired someone to off him. What he did was so stupid and sleazy.

I read a book about it years ago. I thought it was his creepy porn director friend who did it.

I still believe it was that sleazy friend of his they accused from the get-go. Somehow he got off.

I believe Carpenter did it, too

Didn’t the friend make a move on him when they were doing one of their regular mutual, porn and drug-fueled JO sessions?

I think his move was rebuffed.

Lover…scorned…etc.

[quote]Somehow he got off.

The case against him was based on a photo taken from a rental car he'd been driving at the time which showed what was purported to be a bit of brain tissue from Crane. The object itself was long gone, only the photo remained. To get a conviction the prosecution had to prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt: that it was human tissue and that it came from Crane. They failed to prove either. I knew from the start that he was going to be acquitted if that was all they had.

Even when I was a kid I thought Hogan was smarmy and creepy.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan Murphy eventually does a miniseries on Crane.

I know nothing.

I find that I like that in a man.

As a kid I always thought Hogan was cool, smart and attractive.

yeah, it was his director and I think they finally matched the DNA. His name was John Carpenter and he was jealous because he was fat and couldn't get laid, so he was jealous of Bob Crane, a huge ladies' man.

I know nothing!!

We know, Sgt. Schultz, you said the same thing three posts earlier. What a Dumf Koph!

Op did

If you’re jealous enough to kill, you’re jealous enough to fix your body and get laid.

In the movie Auto Focus, it's clear Carpenter wanted a sexual relationship with Crane.

He had a beer can dick. There are photos floating around.

“Carpy says DON’T TOUCH”

His son had a website that sold his fathers porn at one point in around 2000.

It's spelled "Sergeant Schultz."

I didn't know he had a porn addiction and made 'self movies' with his partners - wow.

Hell hath no fury like a bossy bottom scorned…

No, they didn't.

Spelling Nazi.

He was very AWG.

Which is why he worked in supporting parts. He lucked out with Hogan's Heroes and that was the zenith of his career.

Does Hillary have a solid alibi?

What does AWG mean? I googled it and all I got was things about gauge wires. Someone on here uses acronyms constantly and very poorly.

Average white guy, I think. DL special.

Average white guy, r39.

Thanks, R40 and R41. I never would have guessed that in a million years.

My father was a very famous conductor!

Hey now, what’s this about no career after ”Heroes”? Ain’t you all seen “Superdad” from 1972 co-starring Kurt Russell?

Crane interviewing Marilyn Monroe on his long running LA radio show.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Wasn’t there a gay guy obsessed with him? I thought people saw him as the most obvious suspect.

^That was John Carpenter who was allegedly bisexual.

Rifftrax short about patriotism and how to be a good citizen ironically narrated by Bob.

However much straight guys may deceive themselves on the subject, any time guys are sitting on a couch jerking off next to each other, even if they’re watching straight porn, that’s pretty gay.

R43 where did he conduct - on the Baltimore & Ohio?

General Burkhalter later became one of the first gentleman callers of Miss Lindsey.

Paul Lynde

I was quoting MST3K, r51

I always thought Bob Crane had gentleman callers and loved BDSM.
