A few others believed that D.B. Cooper was actually well known Vietnam War veteran, Richard McCoy. McCoy not only knew his way around a parachute, but he had also hijacked another flight in almost the same manner as Cooper. The difference? He had been caught for his crime only 2 days after and sentenced to jail for 45 years. He died in 1974, after escaping from prison and getting shot during his recapture. Aside from that, the crew said his characteristics didn’t fit those of D.B. Cooper.
