On June 29, 1978, Bob Crane, known to Hogan's Heroes fans as Colonel Hogan, was discovered brutally murdered in his Scottsdale, Arizona, apartment. His eldest son, Robert Crane, was called to the crime scene. In this poignant memoir, Robert Crane discusses that terrible day and how he has lived with the unsolved murder of his father. But this storyline is just one thread in his tale of growing up in Los Angeles, his struggles to reconcile the good and sordid sides of his celebrity father, and his own fascinating life.
Crane began his career writing for Oui magazine and spent many years interviewing celebrities for Playboy - stars such as Chevy Chase, Bruce Dern, Joan Rivers, and even Koko the signing gorilla. As a result of a raucous encounter with the cast of Canada's SCTV, he found himself shelving his notepad and tape recorder to enter the employ of John Candy - first as an on-again, off-again publicist; then as a full-time assistant, confidant, screenwriter, and producer; and finally as one of Candy's pallbearers.
By turns shocking and uplifting, Crane is an unforgettable and deeply human story.
The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky.

This was a little more of a personal story for me. My mother and Bob Crane were cousins.

Robert Crane recalls the day he learned of his father's murder, and examining his father's living quarters riddled with anomalies. The police investigation was sloppy, and the murder scene was compromised, and evidence was contaminated. Crane's friend, John Henry Carpenter, was finally arrested in 1992, but maintained his innocence and would be acquitted of the murder. According to one theory, Crane was killed when he wanted to end his association with Carpenter. Another theory has Crane being murdered due his lifestyle, as the former radio disc jockey and actor had become a sex addict.
In the book, the younger Crane outlines his father's career path from a popular radio DJ to starring in a hit sitcom. However, Crane struggled professionally after the cancellation of "Hogan's Heroes." In the meantime, Crane would pick up woman and videotape his sexual activities. Despite this addiction, Crane was a loving and supportive father. Robert Crane become a freelance writer, and eventually the publicist for comedian John Candy.
Crane reveals what object was likely the murder weapon, and offers reasons why he believes Carpenter was acquitted, exploring who benefited financially from Bob's death. I found this audiobook interesting, and did enjoy it!
