There was a guy in L.A. who robbed banks using a mask based on a real person in order to frame him. It was many years ago, and I don't have the links. The other guy (non- robber) was arrested, but there were enough robberies that he had provable alibis. Not sure how they caught the bad guy, but they did somehow.
Wonder how often these are used by bank robbers and stuff, so that the description of the perp is nowhere near what the actual person looks like.

Edit: actually here's a link. 2010. And the robber was an illegal alien. https://youtu.be/K9MB8zzipmk
