In December 2021, a talking crow named Cosmo went viral after befriending a southern Oregon elementary school. But it turned out Cosmo had enemies, and a dark side.

Then Cosmo went missing.
What followed was a sprawling investigation into his disappearance: Did someone shoot Cosmo? Who would’ve had the motive, means and opportunity? And who was Cosmo, really? A victim or a villain?
It’s become kind of a whodunit mystery. Except there was no crime committed, because killing a crow like Cosmo would have been completely legal.
