"On Saturday, January 14, 1950, at 6:18 p.m., Cadet Richard Cox left his room at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to go to dinner with an unidentified visitor. The man was supposedly someone Cox had known when they served in an intelligence unit in Germany. Cox never returned. A disappearance rivaling in mystery Judge Crater, Jimmy Hoffa, or Amelia Earhart, the case of Richard Cox became one of the country's most baffling unsolved cases. Embarrassed by the FBI's failure to find Cox, J. Edgar Hoover assigned dozens of agents to the case. Despite a massive manhunt Cox was not found. In 1957, Richard Cox was declared legally dead, and the files were closed. Then in 1985, thirty-five years after Cox's disappearance, a retired history teacher named Marshall Jacobs decided to pursue the mystery as a research project. Through the Freedom of Information Act, he obtained voluminous once-secret files from the Army and the FBI. Jacobs plunged into a labyrinthine search - and what began as a hobby became an obsession. He traveled the country interviewing witnesses from the Florida Keys to the Pacific Northwest. It took more than seven years, but Jacobs eventually found one witness who enabled him to bring the case to closure for himself." $22.00USD
