CODE RED: The Real Marine Behind "A Few Good Men" and His Unsolved Murder
from Hitched 2 Homicide · host Kris Calvert and Rob Pottorf
In 1986, Marine David Cox helped carry out a Code Red at Guantanamo Bay on a Private who fully recovered from his injuries. When David and nine others were faced with a court-martial and an Other Than Honorable Discharge, he refused a plea deal, stood trial, and walked free; his attorney arguing that he was following orders. That courtroom drama would go on to inspire Aaron Sorkin’s A Few Good Men. But David’s story didn’t end there. In 1994, Cox was found shot to death—execution-style. Wallet intact. No robbery. No suspects. No justice. This week on Hitched 2 Homicide, we’re peeling back the Hollywood polish and military records to expose the haunting, unsolved truth behind one of the most infamous cases of military justice—and murder—in U.S. history.
