I was watching a show on Military Channel and/or H2 the other day about West Point and some of its mysteries, traditions and such.

They mentioned a cadet who left his dorm in 1950 and just completely disappeared, never to be heard from again.

Anyone know much about this case?

I understand there is a book on it called Oblivion that I might read.

I seem to recall that there was good reason to suspect murder in his case.

Wiki entry

On a slightly related note, has this case made the media anywhere else? A 31-year-old LT from Cannon AFB (just across the Texas border in New Mexico) is AWOL. No indications at present as to if he is intentionally gone, a victim of foul play, ??????

the show made it sound like he had left USMA and joined the CIA.

Back in the late 50's there was a TV program called: The West Point Story.

Many cadet pranks and unusual situations were reenacted, but don't recall this particular incident featured.
