Introducing: The Trail Went Cold; The Boys on the Tracks

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 emerge to suggest the boys were
murdered as part of a cover-up involving drug trafficking, but no one is ever charged with the
crime. "The Trail Went Cold" released a two-part episode about this convoluted story for their
five-year anniversary show.


This is a preview of The Trail Went Cold's coverage of the case and you can find the rest of the
