Two teens, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, went out hunting one night in Bryant, Arkansas, only to be run over by a cargo train. At first, the 1987 deaths were deemed a suicide, with the medical examiner saying that the boys had smoked 20 joints and were in a drug-induced coma when they laid down side by side on the tracks together. Their families eventually got the case reopened, and it was determined that, while the boys had smoked a little marijuana, one of them was already dead from stab wounds while the other was unconscious from a blow to the head when the train struck them. Additionally, a green tarp had been placed over the bodies, likely to prevent the train engineer from spotting them in time to stop. The cause of death was changed to murder, but the case was closed in 1995 with no arrests ever made. Some people suspect that the boys encountered locals involved in a meth-dealing ring and that the police were somehow involved, which would explain the shoddy investigation.

“This one’s really, really tragic,” Dunn Meurer says. “There was a lot going on in this town, and I think the kids were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The fact that it was ruled an accident, and then finally they determined that the kids had been murdered, that’s heart-breaking. I wish we could have solved this case.”

Oddly enough, a former WWF wrestler, Billy Jack Haynes, claimed in 2018 that he was there that night after being hired by a local politician to intercept a drug deal. Dunn Meurer says that this kind of new evidence doesn’t rise to the level of credibility that would warrant an update to the segment.

The Unsolved Murders of Don Henry and Kevin Ives

It's 4 AM in Bryant, Arkansas in 1987 as a 6,000-ton cargo train is making its nightly route from Texarkana to Little Rock when the engineer notices two immobile figures lying parallel across the tracks, covered from the waist down with a light green tarp, and with their arms straight down by their sides. The engineer immediately lays down the horn and places the train into a frantic emergency stop. Less than five seconds later, with no reaction or movement by either of the boys on the tracks, the train makes an impact with the two bodies, carrying them for a half-mile before the train comes to a complete stop.

The mangled bodies are identified as 16-year-old Don Henry and 17-year-old Kevin Ives. After the bodies have been identified, the case becomes a mystery that is filled with corruption, drug trafficking, a mountain of suspicious deaths, and cover-up after cover-up.

Cash and Joel take you through the details of this case and all of the characters involved including a sheriff who will only do his job if you don't criticize him, an ex-WWF wrestler who worked as security for drug traffickers, and a medical examiner who says a man missing his head died of an ulcer and that his head was missing because his dog ate it... and when the head is found several blocks away in the dumpster, he simply suggests that the dog regurgitated the head.

Yeah... it's that kind of story.

The Boys on the Tracks!

To tell the story of the The Boys on the Tracks! while clinton was governor of Arkansas

One of the most disturbing stories I’ve ever heard, and the Clintons know all about it. The boys that were murdered in Arkansas were 16-year-old Don Henry and 17-year-old Kevin Ives. The Clintons are so incredibly evil and without remorse when it comes to eliminating anyone who poses a threat or gets in their way.

In the early hours of August 23rd, 1987, a train driver noticed there were two people laying in parallel on the tracks, partially covered by a green tarp, in Bryant, Arkansas. Next to one of the bodies rested a .22 rifle. Despite the frantic honking, the figures didn’t move a fraction of an inch from their place. The driver urgently slammed on the brakes, but it was impossible to stop the train this late and the bodies that lay side-by-side on the tracks had both been run over. The bodies were later identified as 16-year-old Don Henry and his best friend Kevin Ives, just a year older. The boys had arrived at the tracks a little after midnight to go hunting with Don’s .22 rifle and smoke marijuana. The State medical examiner concluded that the boys smoked twenty joints and were in a deep sleep as the fast-moving train advanced them, and their deaths were ruled accidental. However, the victims’ families didn’t buy it and pressed the police to reopen the case. Five months later, a new autopsy was performed and the results were staggeringly different from the first. The autopsy revealed that the boys had only smoked 1-3 joints together, and stab marks were visible on Don’s t-shirt. One of the boys was already dead by the time the train had hit them, the other unconscious. An investigator found that a similar case had occurred just three years prior, when two young men were found dead laying in the same positions on the tracks. Nonetheless, the case of boys on the train tracks was never solved.

Don Henry (16) and Kevin Ives (17) were best friends and seniors at their Bryant, Arkansas, high school. They also died together in the early hours of August 23rd, 1987. The how and why is still up for debate.

The previous night, a Saturday, the two teenagers had spent some time with friends. Soon after midnight, they went back to Don’s house and told his father they would go out to hunt near the train tracks. That’s the last time he saw them.

A few hours later, the driver of a cargo train noticed two bodies lying side by side, very straight, on the tracks. He honked and did his best to stop in time, but he still ran them over. But what could have been just a horrible tragedy turned out to be a haunting mystery.

Why would they be lying on train tracks? And how couldn’t they hear a very loud train coming to them? The driver and other members of the train crew reported seeing what looked like a green tarp on top of Don and Kevin, but by the time police arrived to see the mangled bodies, they couldn’t find it anywhere.

The medical examiner ruled the deaths accidental and said they had been knocked out by smoking at least 20 marijuana cigarrettes. But the families didn’t buy that and kept pressing for answers until they managed to make police repoen the investigation five months later.

A new autopsy revealed that there weren’t 20 cigarrettes, only 1 to 3 smoked between the two of them. There was evidence that one of the boys was already dead by the time the train hit him, the other was unconscious. An expert analyzed Don’s t-shirt and found stab marks. After all this, the cause of death was changed from accidental to homicide.

But the case remains unsolved. The prevailing theory is that the boys saw something they shouldn’t have while they were hunting. A stranger dressed in military clothing was seen near the tracks a week before the murders, and when a policeman approached him, he opened fire. Some witnesses claim they spotted him again the night Don and Kevin died.
