Page "Joseph Force Crater" Paragraph 19

In order to promote the 1933 film Bureau of Missing Persons, Warner Bros. advertised they would pay $ 10, 000 ( equivalent to about $ in today's funds ) to Crater if he claimed it in person at the box office.

In the third season episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, " Very Old Shoes, Very Old Rice ", the character of Rob Petrie mistakes a judge named Judge Krata for the missing judge.

A 2010 novel, The Man Who Never Returned by Peter Quinn, investigates the Crater case through the lens of a 1955 fictional detective.
