Richard Colvin Cox (25 July 1928 – last seen 14 January 1950) was a second-year military cadet whose disappearance from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, in 1950 is still unsolved. He is the only West Point cadet who ever disappeared without being found dead or alive. ==Background== Cadet Cox was born in Mansfield, Ohio and graduated from a public high school there in 1946, a year after World War II ended. The following year, Cox served in the Sixth Constabulary Regiment of the United States Army, situated at the time in Coburg, Germany.〔Maihafer, p.42.〕 He was in the S-2 (intelligence) section of Headquarters Company within the Constabulary.〔Maihafer, p.60.〕 Located near the recently created border between West Germany and East Germany, "the Constabulary's job," according to a military journalist and 1949 West Point graduate named Harry Maihafer, "was to man border posts and run patrols. Across the border, just beyond the barbed wire and minefields and less than a football field away, were frowning East German and Soviet troops, armed with submachine guns and constantly watching the Americans through binoculars and telescopic sights."〔Maihafer, p.61.〕 Also serving in the S-2 section at the time (1947) was a mysterious army official who later used the name "George." Later in 1947, Cox applied for and received his appointment to West Point, arriving at the United States Military Academy Preparatory School (then located at Stewart Field near the academy proper) in January 1948.
