Описание: "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. Through disappointment, loss, and heartbreak, Crane`s humor and perseverance shine. Beyond the big stars and behind-the-scenes revelations, this riveting account of death, survival, and renewal in the shadow of the Hollywood sign makes a profound statement about the desire for love and permanence in a life where those things continually slip away. By turns shocking and uplifting, Crane is an unforgettable and deeply human story"--Provided by publisher.

Описание: Death of an Altar Boy tells the sad story behind the 1972 murder of a 14-year-old Massachusetts boy and how the Catholic Church’s history of whitewashing priest abuse was the cause and the reason it went unsolved until now. The death of Danny Croteau faded from newspapers and memory for 20 years, until the Boston abuse scandal exploded and it was revealed that his parish priest was the only suspect. Everyone, including his superiors, assumed he was the murderer, and still does. But he was not alone. After reviewing over 10,000 pages of police and court files, and interviewing investigators, Danny’s family and friends, fellow abuse victims, and church officials, E.J. Fleming uncovered the truth about what happened to Danny. For the first time, Death of an Altar Boy exposes church complicity in the cover-up and hiding their priests’ involvement with an organized ring of abusive priests active at the time of the killing. A strong case is also made for the identity of the ring members who participated in the murder.

Описание: Now in print for the very first time, full-text transcripts from the leading true-crime podcast When Elizabeth Andes was found bound, stabbed, and strangled in her Ohio apartment in 1978, police and prosecutors decided within hours it was an open-and-shut case. Within days, Bob Young, a 23-year-old football player who'd found his college sweetheart's lifeless body on their bedroom floor, was charged with her murder. To this day, police and prosecutors still say they had the right guy--even though two juries, one criminal and one civil, disagreed, and Young walked away a free man. Beth's case went cold. Nearly four decades later, two Cincinnati reporters re-examined the murder and discovered that law enforcement ignored leads that might have uncovered who really killed Beth Andes. It wasn't that there weren't other people to look at. There were plenty. But no one bothered...until now.
