J.C.P. Williams was a New Zealand cardiologist known for discovering Williams Syndrome in 1961, while working as the Registrar at Greenlane Hospital in Auckland. [1]
In the wake of his discovery, Williams was offered a position at the Mayo Clinic, but did not appear as scheduled. The second time he was offered the position, later in the 1960s, he also did not show, and in fact was never seen again. His last known location was London, where he had left a suitcase at a baggage claim. [2]
