Adolph Coors III
Adolph Coors III (January 12, 1916-February 8, 1960), was the former heir to the Coors beer empire. Victim of an attempted kidnapping by Joseph Corbett, Jr. in Colorado in 1960, Coors died and a national manhunt for Corbett was launched. Corbett was captured in Canada in October of that year.
Ironically, Coors was allergic to beer.
