Bob Crane was a radio DJ, drummer, comedic actor and tripod victim. After becoming a star on the WWII-themed sitcom "Hogan's Heroes", his career threw him on the dinner theater circuit. While touring the country, he and best friend "Carpy" would hookup with as many women as they could, often filming their dalliances. This went on until Crane turned up dead -- bludgeoned by camera equipment.
The crime goes unsolved to this day. Join the guys as they discuss the case and possible theories on this episode of Death in Entertainment!
