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
Top German brass in show wanted to insure the roles they were playing as Germans never succeeded in their efforts. The top three all had successful 40 yr careers B4 hand, yet these roles defined them. Rare, for 1 in a show, but three of three in the same series...great actors.
Leon Askin made it to the ripe old age of 98.
He played the Soviet newscaster in Airplane II who announced that “A Four Alarm fire in Moscow has cleared the way for a glorious new tractor factory.”
He was also great in “One, Two, Three” as a member of the Soviet Trade Delegation, “We have emergency meeting with Swiss Trade Delegation. They send us twenty car-loads of cheese. Totally unacceptable... full of holes.”
Trivia: There was a movie that Bob Crane, Werner Klemperer, Leon Askin and John Banner all appeared in together, unrelated to Hogan’s Heroes. What was the name of the movie?
Yes, he's still very dear, most indubitably deceased, quite certainly.

Neither of my Dad's older brothers served in WW2 because one was 35 when the war started and the other lost an eye as a kid so couldn't serve.My Dad helped design and build missiles for the Navy during the war and so was exempted as an "essential civilian employee".
As a result there were in our households,unlike in most during the 50's and 60's,no war stories told.So I was particularly naive regarding the war.It never occurred to me that it might be controversial or hurtful.
If it had I might not have liked HH as much as I did.I can see how some in this country wouldn't have liked it at all.
Uh... I think the implication was that Crane walked among a very deviant, very decadent crowd - one notorious for drug use and erotic violence - and that he paid the price.
(See David Carradine.)
Leon Askin, who played Gen. Burkhalter lost his whole family in the holocaust. Most of the Nazis on the show were Jewish. Crane was a sicko, but I still like the show.
From what I’ve read, Crane nailed every secretary colonel klink ever had.
I know of the movie - saw a movie poster for it one time on eBay. Never have seen it - but any movie that features all those guys *and* Elke Sommer as an olympic pole-vaulter... well, that's gotta be worth my time.
LOL!
Mel Brooks,Zero Mostel,Gene Wilder-All Jews.
For a Gestapo agent, he was actually kind of mild. He never summarily executed anyone.
POW camps and concentration camps are not the same thing.
I think he even dressed as a butler in an episode. There ya go.
I wonder how our parents thought about it...or the people that were slaughtered in the gas chambers...
but I watched it too....and it was funny..
