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:

[FBI agents found a jumpsuit and a duffel bag filled with cash totaling $499,970]

See, the missing bag was $500,000. There’s no way he spent $30!!!!

Nice work. To me, that wraps the whole thing up. This legend has only grown when it was seemingly pretty-well answered with that guy. If he pulled off one successfully (sorta) then he might have been crazy enough to try two. Maybe somebody tried to copycat and wound up in a lake or in the trees. I suppose that is possible.
