<P> In November 2016, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office permitted Phoenix television reporter John Hook to submit the 1978 blood samples from Carpenter's rental car for retesting, using a more advanced DNA technique than the one used in 1990 . Two sequences were identified, one from an unknown male, and the other too degraded to reach a conclusion . </P> <P> Crane's life and murder were the subject of the 2002 film Auto Focus, directed by Paul Schrader and starring Greg Kinnear as Crane . The film, based on a book on Crane's murder written by Zodiac author Robert Graysmith, was described as "brilliant" by critic Roger Ebert . The film portrays Crane as a happily married, church - going family man and popular Los Angeles disc jockey who succumbs to Hollywood's celebrity lifestyle after becoming a television star . When he meets Carpenter, and as a result of their friendship learns about the new home video technology, he descends into a life of strip clubs, BDSM, and sex addiction . </P> <P> Crane's son with Olson, Scotty, challenged the film's accuracy in an October 2002 review . "During the last 12 years of his life," he wrote, "(Crane) went to church three times: when I was baptized, when his father died, and when he was buried ." His son further stated that Crane was a sex addict long before he became a star and that he may have begun recording his sexual encounters as early as 1956 . There was no evidence, he claimed, that Crane engaged in BDSM; there were no such scenes in any of his hundreds of home movies, and Schrader admitted that the film's BDSM scene was based on his own personal experience (while writing Hardcore). Before production on Auto Focus was announced, Scotty Crane and Olson had shopped a rival script alternately titled F - Stop and Take Off Your Clothes and Smile, but interest ceased after Auto Focus was announced . </P> <P> In June, 2001, Scotty Crane launched the website bobcrane.com . It included a paid section featuring photographs, outtakes from his father's sex films, and Crane's autopsy report that proved, he said, that his father did not have a penile implant as stated in Auto Focus . The site was renamed "Bob Crane: The Official Web Site", but is now abandoned . The "official" Bob Crane website is currently maintained by CMG Worldwide . </P>
