No Accident: The Suspicious Deaths of Don Henry and Kevin Ives

from Small Town Mysteries · host Kate, Christine, and Rachael

Send us Fan MailAround 4:00 AM on August 23, 1987 in the tiny city of Alexander, Arkansas, a locomotive engineer noticed that there were people laying down on the train tracks. The engineer engaged the train’s brakes and sounded the horn, but the train was unable to stop in time.When 16-year-old Don Henry and 17-year-old Kevin Ives were hit by this freight train, their death was initially and unsurprisingly ruled an accident. However, after researching this case, I think it’s safe to say that the deaths of these teenagers were anything but accidental. Sources:1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Don_Henry_and_Kevin_Ives2) https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/jun/05/mom-of-cold-case-victim-dies/3) https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/kevin-ives-and-don-henry-12289/4) https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/120221988/lionel_keith-mckaskle#view-photo=190741804 5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Seal 6) https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/jun/05/mom-of-cold-case-victim-dies/ Support the show
