There’s one guy who looks just like the Cooper sketches who got pinched for an attempted airline hijacking or ransom, JUST like DB. I’m pretty sure it’s that guy.

Richard McCoy, Jr.
Richard Floyd McCoy, Jr. (December 7, 1942 - November 9, 1974) was an American aircraft hijacker. McCoy hijacked a United Airlines passenger jet for ransom in 1972. Due to a similar modus operandi, law enforcement officials named McCoy as a suspect for the still-unidentified "D. B. Cooper," who committed his unsolved crime four months before McCoy.
Oh! There is a resemblance.
Richard Floyd McCoy, Jr. was subsequently sentenced to a term of 45 years. From this article, it appears he died in prison:

Thanks Laz.
Something tells me he’s the real McCoy.
Richard was such a Dick ... it couldn’t be him
