On the morning of January 5, 1994, 27-year-old David Cox, a former Marine whose story inspired the movie
A Few Good Men, was at home, anxiously awaiting news about a potential full-time job. But when his girlfriend, Elaine, returned home that evening, David was nowhere to be found. His truck was parked outside, with the keys in the ignition and an uncashed paycheck sitting on the dashboard.
Despite these strange circumstances, police initially believed David had run off. However, nearly three months later, his body was discovered along a Medfield, Massachusetts riverbank five miles from his apartment. He had been shot four times.
Despite a thorough investigation, no motive or suspects have been identified, leaving David’s family desperate for answers. It’s been over 30 years since David’s murder, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible...
On the morning of January 5, 1994, David Cox went missing from his apartment in Natick, Massachusetts. Almost three months later, on April 2, his body was discovered along the Charles River in Medfield, about five miles from his home. At the time of his death, David was wearing a Marine Corps camouflage jacket over a black hooded Marines sniper jacket, along with jeans and sneakers.
