On June 29, 1978, Bob Crane was brutally murdered in Scottsdale, Arizona, and to this day, the crime remains officially unsolved. His unsolved murder and the scandal that grew from it have spawned unending media coverage, along with several books, documentaries, podcast episodes, and the movie Auto Focus, all of which provide little clarity about Bob Crane as a human being.

In part one of this two-part episode, Bob Crane biographers Carol Ford and Linda Groundwater discuss John Carpenter, Bob’s sexual addiction, and Auto Focus, and share audio clips from several interviews they conducted with prominent individuals from Bob's life to help bring everything into better focus.

Audio clips of Arlene Martel, Johnny and Pam Thompson, Harvey Geller, Leo McElroy, and Bruce Bilson were told directly to Linda Groundwater and Carol Ford, and are owned by the authors of Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography. Unauthorized use of these audio clips is strictly forbidden.
