Early life and education
Crancer was born in Detroit, Michigan. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Albion College in 1960, and a Juris Doctor degree from the Washington University School of Law. After her father's disappearance, Crancer claimed that she had a vision of her father, who, she was already sure, was dead. He was slumped over and wore a dark-colored, short-sleeved polo shirt. It has mystified her ever since that although she could not have possibly known that prior to her arrival at Lake Orion, the clothing in her vision was exactly what Hoffa was wearing when he disappeared.

In July 1992, Crancer was appointed to associate circuit judge for St. Louis County, Missouri Crancer retired in March 2008, but in March 2009, she agreed to serve as an assistant attorney general for the Division of Civil Disability and Workers Rights. She retired from that post in March 2011.
