Disappearance of Political Reporter James Novak

'Meet the Press: The Chilling Disappearance of Political Reporter James Novak'

Dateline: Washington, D.C.

On the morning of Sunday, March 12, 1967, veteran political reporter James Novak was preparing for what should have been a routine appearance on Meet the Press, NBC’s flagship news program. A respected journalist known for his sharp questioning of powerful figures, Novak had spent weeks digging into a controversial Defense Department contract linked to high-ranking officials. But that day, he never made it to the studio.

The Last Sighting

Novak was last seen leaving his Georgetown apartment at 7:30 a.m., carrying his briefcase and notes. A neighbor reported seeing him get into a dark sedan—unusual, since Novak normally took a cab. When he failed to arrive at the NBC studio by 8:15 a.m., producers called his home. No answer. By noon, with no word from Novak, his wife, Margaret, filed a missing persons report.

The Mysterious Notes

Police searched Novak’s apartment and found his typewriter still open, a half-finished draft of questions for that day’s Meet the Press guest—Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Ellington. But the most chilling discovery? A handwritten note tucked beneath his desk blotter:

'If anything happens to me, look deeper into Ellington and Project Longbow. Follow the money.'

Project Longbow, it turned out, was a classified Pentagon initiative involving lucrative contracts with private arms manufacturers. Novak had been investigating allegations of kickbacks—and Ellington’s name kept surfacing.

The Suspect Who Never Was

Ellington was questioned but had an airtight alibi—he was already at the studio prepping for the show when Novak vanished. With no evidence, police had to let him go. But whispers persisted: Had Novak gotten too close to the truth?

The Cold Trail

Despite an extensive search, no trace of Novak—or his briefcase—was ever found. Some speculated he’d been silenced; others believed he’d staged his own disappearance. But Margaret Novak never wavered: 'Jim would never have left willingly. He was onto something big.'

The Legacy

In 1974, Ellington resigned amid an unrelated corruption scandal. Declassified documents later revealed that Project Longbow had been riddled with fraud—just as Novak suspected. But without his testimony, prosecutions stalled.

To this day, Novak’s disappearance remains unsolved. Every few years, a new tip surfaces—a supposed sighting, a deathbed confession—but none have panned out.

One question still haunts those who remember that fateful Sunday: What was in Novak’s notes that someone didn’t want revealed on Meet the Press?

Case Status: COLD.
