Sex Fame and Murder: The Bob Crane Story
from 10 Minute Murder | Bingeable True Crime Stories · host Joe
Sex, Fame, and Murder: The Bob Crane StoryEver heard of Hogan’s Heroes? A lighthearted sitcom about POWs outsmarting the Nazis sounds odd now, but in the 1960s, it was a hit. And no one benefited more than its star, Bob Crane. He skyrocketed to fame as the charming Colonel Hogan, but behind the scenes, things were far from picture-perfect. Bob’s obsession with women, his descent into homemade pornography, and his complicated friendship with John Carpenter led to a tragic end. Found brutally murdered in 1978, Bob’s death remains one of Hollywood’s most infamous cold cases. In this episode, we dive deep into Bob’s rise and fall, the controversial investigation, and the lingering suspicions surrounding those closest to him. Was it his best friend? His estranged wife? We’ll untangle the mystery and let you decide.Thank you so much for listening to and supporting 10 Minute Murder!SUBSCRIBE to 10 Minute Murder.Have friends that also like true-crime stories?SHARE this podcast with them!CONNECT on social media to read about new episodes and see visuals that go along with the story.10minutemurder.comemail: [email protected]_______Follow 10 Minute Murder-Facebook:https://facebook.com/10MMpodcastInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/10minutemurder/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@10minutemurderThreads:https://www.threads.net/@10minutemurderYoutube:https://youtube.com/channel/UCkJLUCEZlkn9In3AA46RVxwIf you have a request for a case to be featured on 10 Minute Murder, or have any questions for Joe (the host), please feel free to send them to the email address above.*******Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/10-minute-murder-bingeable-true-crime-stories--4603604/support.
