Epi 25: The Boys on the Tracks

Description

Today we're discussing the murder of Kevin Ives and Don Henry. This unsolved/cold-case goes all the way to the top.

WTF Moments:

On August 24, 1987, Kevin Ives and Don Henry were killed, placed on railroad tracks, and run over by a 6,000 ton Union Pacific train around 4:30 am
Dr. Fahmy Malik was the state medical examiner at the time and he was the absolute worst.
Malik actually had a very close relationship with the Clinton's, and helped get mama Clinton out of multiple malpractice lawsuits.
When Linda Ives finally went to the public, they were able to get the case reopened and it was officially ruled a homicide by nationally recognized pathologist, Dr. Joseph Burton.
Burton stated that he had performed thousands of autopsies, and he had never seen anything like it.
It is thought the boys may have wandered into a drug drop as the area was linked to a huge drug trafficking operation out of Mena, AR run by Barry Seals. Barry Seals was later supposedly involved in photographing his Central America drug connections for the CIA.
Dan Harmon, the prosecuting attorney, was heavily involved in drugs and was later jailed for several crimes, including drug charges - hmmmmm...
Billy Jack Haynes recently came forward to reveal that he knew more about the boy's murder - here is his side of the story.
