Joseph Corbett Jr. (October 25, 1928 – August 24, 2009) was an American convicted murderer and fugitive who, in 1960, was placed on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for the kidnapping and murder of Adolph Coors III, heir to the Coors beer fortune.
A native of Seattle and a Fulbright scholar, Corbett was arrested in Canada after spending seven months on the run. He was convicted of murdering Coors and sentenced to life imprisonment. Eventually released on parole, Corbett died by suicide in 2009 at the age of 80.
