I have been struck by the resemblance between D. B. Cooper the highjacker and John E. List of Westfield, New Jersey accused of murdering his family.

I believe they are the same man.

The age seems right. The contour of the head and hairline seems right.

There is a pattern in the cleverness and coolness of the way he carefully planned both crimes.
