Richard Colvin Cox was a second-year military cadet whose disappearance from the United States Military Academy (West Point) is still unsolved. He is the only West Point cadet to have disappeared.

A mysterious friend named George

Cadet Cox had a mysterious friend named George who had a German accent. Around 6 p.m on January 14, 1950, after George had paid him a visit, he left his dormitory and vanished without trace. At the time, it was considered one of the great unsolved missing persons cases. Cox was declared legally dead in 1957.

Disappearance re-examined

In the 1980s, historian Marshall Jacobs re-opened the investigation and spent close to eight years conducting interviews and reviewing documents received under the Freedom of Information Act and other documents. Eventually, he worked with writer Harry Maihafer to write the book Oblivion, which proposes a solution.
