Murder of Hogan’s Heroes Actor Might Be Solved Monday Night
TV Spy ^ | 11/11/16 | Kevin Eck

Posted on 11/14/2016 1:40:55 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

Thirty eight years after Bob Crane was murdered, Phoenix Fox-owned station KSAZ may be able to solve the case on live TV.

Crane was the star of Hogan’s Heroes, a comedy show set in World War II that ran six seasons until 1971. Crane’s friend Bob Carpenter was initially suspected of bludgeoning Crane to death with camera tripod, but he was never convicted.

Now, KSAZ reporter John Hook will reveal the results of his one and half year investigation into the case.

The Fox-owned station says the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office allowed Hook to retest the original blood evidence found in Carpenter’s car the day after the murder. Hook is hoping modern DNA techniques can answer the question of who did it.

KSAZ says the results will be revealed Monday night on its 9 p.m. newscast

Yes. I do believe his ex-wife is on facebook. I can’t recall her name now, and I don’t do fb. But I did look her up. What a tough road that poor lady traveled.

“Bob Crane was renowned among the Hollywood-scene to have the MOST EXTENSIVE collection of porn films.”

It should be emphasized, a lot of his porn collection had him starring in it...

Not only did he have an extensive porn collection, most of it was homemade. Crane had a huge appetite for sex and Carpenter showed him how to make videos with one of the first video recorders available to the public. They would cruise bars, especially strip clubs, to pick up women and take them home for sex and porn parties.

Carpenter was strongly suspected of the murder, but as you suggest, the kind of lifestyle Crane was living would produce a lot of potential suspects.

I thought a couple years ago they said it was his porn business partner that bagged him.

Yes, Robert Clary is alive.
So is Kenneth Washington, who played Baker, replacing Ivan Dixon in the final season.

When I said “all dead” I meant all involved in the murder.

Nah, it would be Megan Kelly, what with her obsession with sex.

Crane was married twice. His first wife would be pushing 90 if she is still alive.

He then married actress Sigrid Valdis, who played Fraulein Hilda on the show. She died a couple of years ago.

With Crane as producer, director and star performer.

The man was way ahead of his time

I don't think that Baker was all that great..Kinch was much better.He should have been given a bigger role that he was.

Sgt. Schultz was no help with the investigation as he was quoted as only saying “I know nothink” 163 times.
