Haratio Cochrane (born 1796) was a US Army cadet who attended West Point during the 1830s. In 1830, he was assigned to bring Cadet Leroy Fry's body back to base after his corpse was discovered by Cadet Cook Huntoon, but a man purporting to be an officer relieved Cochrane of the duty and obtained the body. Cochrane later testified to detective Augustus Landor that the man identifying himself as an office had a missing epaulette, a clue later used by Landor to identify Daniel Marquis as the man who had stolen the body for a blood sacrifice.
