    East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker/Golden State Killer
    That is one I've followed a little bit because of local connections.
    But I've met people who are deeply, deeply enmeshed in studying that case. I no longer consider myself a true crime buff. I like to read and watch documentaries. These people, the real buffs, are so much deeper into it.
    Anyway, very interesting case.

    I think the persistence of large scale belief in some of these things is interesting.
    I don't mean to criticize anyone's interest. I still watch docs and read about these topics.
    But crop circles, sasquatch, JFK assassination conspiracies - they've been debunked so many times over, yet still believe something more is there.

    That's why something like Cooper interests me more.

    There's are right answers. Someone was D.B. Cooper. Something happened to him. Something happened to the money.

    No one knows any of the answers.

    Robert Kennedy's murder.

    What really happened inside the pantry at the Ambassador?

    There was a camera on RFK up until 40 seconds before the gun(s) went off. The cameras (which were very heavy and far from portable in 1968) flipped back on in the pantry 15 seconds after the shots.

    Was Sirhan alone? Did he get close enough to RFK with the discrepancy from his alleged distance and the closer range Noguchi said RFK was shot from.

    Did the security guard behind RFK pull the weapon and fire?

    This one has always fascinated me, too.

    The other one of primary interest to me: Is there life on other planets?

    There's nothing fascinating about it. Human minds fill in patterns where none actually exist in order to try to make sense of the world.

    Agree with this one 100 percent.
