The Trail Went Cold - Episode 214 - The Boys On The Track (Part 2)

72 min • 24 februari 2021

August 23, 1987. Saline County Arkansas. 16-year old Don Henry and 17-year old Kevin Ives head into the woods to do some late-night hunting, but never return. Hours later, the two boys are seen lying on some railroad tracks before they are run over by a cargo train and the medical examiner concludes they had fallen asleep after smoking marijuana and their deaths were accidental. However, Don and Kevin’s families push for a new investigation, which uncovers evidence that they were violently attacked before their bodies were placed on the tracks. Throughout the years, a number of conspiracy theories would emerge to suggest the boys were murdered as part of a cover-up involving drug trafficking and that members of law enforcement were involved. In Part 1 of our special five-year anniversary episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explored the basic facts of this story. This week, in Part 2, we take a deeper look into the convoluted saga known as the “Boys on the Track” case.
