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.

More ideas of who Cooper was have emerged as the years passed, but none ever came to fruition. Other books, movies, even songs were written about the strange case surrounding the case, and hysteria grew about the story of Cooper. Although this didn’t help the FBI, people continued to accept leads into the case and study them depending on what they considered important or not.
