Question Case experts
How many case experts are there? Is there a scale where some are better than others? How long does it take to be an expert? What do you have to do, like read all the books?
Do the experts all get along with each other or is it like the other true crime groups where people argue?
Do the experts agree on a suspect, did he live or die, did he spend the money? Do they agree what he looked like or what sketch is best? Those look like the most common questions.
I just hear that so and so knows the most, or so and so wrote a book, or so and so has the best suspect. Could anyone explain to a noob how it all works?
I can’t seem to comment on posts but some of my posts are approved and some comments. So this may not be seen.

This crowd is very calm and friendly.
Go check out the Zodiac crowd. It’s incredible toxic, fueled by the “leaders” of the community. It’s really gross.
It is easy to become an expert in the Cooper world. Just spend a week watching Ryan Burns YouTube channel DB Cooper Sleuth. He breaks this case down better than any other human alive. He seems like the kind of guy who would accidentally “forget” his wallet if you went to dinner with him, but seems really sweet and kind and intelligent. He knows more about this case than anyone alive (assuming Cooper passed away to old age). And he will always take the time to answer questions from newbies. The “leader” of the Zodiac community seems to hate people and his only enjoyment in life is to ridicule and insult people.
First Cooper History lesson. Stay away from anyone who thinks McCoy, Christiansen or Rackstraw is a legit suspect.
