Up and Vanished Weekly VANISHED: Richard Cox

When 21 year old Richard Cox - a cadet at West Point Military Academy - missed evening curfew on Saturday, January 14th, 1950, his roommates quickly became concerned. As authorities began investigating, their interest soon narrowed on an old friend who had recently reappeared in Richard’s life. Listen in as Maggie is joined by Laurah Norton, host of “One Strange Thing” and “The Fall Line” as the two discuss Richard’s mysterious disappearance, the possibility he was helped in going AWOL, or whether he could have been an early recruit of a covert agency.Up and Vanished Weekly is available wherever you get your podcasts.
