The Unsolved Murders of Don Henry and Kevin Ives

from Middle-Aged and Mediocre · host Middle-Aged and Mediocre

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.
