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.

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