What connects a West Point cadet who vanished without a trace and a top-secret U.S. plan to hide hundreds of nuclear missiles beneath Greenland's ice?

In this episode of The Secret Squirrel Files, we dive into two fascinating Cold War mysteries.

Richard Cox remains the only West Point cadet known to have disappeared without a trace while attending the academy. More than 75 years later, his fate remains unknown. Was he murdered? Did he willingly disappear? Was he recruited into covert intelligence work? Or did Cold War espionage play a role?

Then we travel to Greenland to uncover Project Iceworm, the classified U.S. Army proposal to construct a massive underground network capable of hiding hundreds of nuclear missiles beneath the Arctic ice. Publicly known as Camp Century, the facility was presented as a scientific research station while secretly testing one of the most ambitious military concepts of the Cold War. Ultimately, Mother Nature had other plans.
