Summary

August 23, 1987. Kevin Ives and his best friend Don Henry set out for what was said to be a harmless night hunting trip. The boys left their homes at slightly past midnight. Four hours later Stephen Shoyer spotted the boys laying across the railroad tracks that ran through their town of Bryant, Arkansas. Unfortunately, when Stephen Shoyer spotted them, it was too late to stop his 6000 ton cargo train from crushing the two boys. Subsequently a preliminary examination of the deaths of the two friends was carried out by the coroner and it was ruled that under the influence of marijuana the two victims had simply fallen asleep on the railroad tracks. Doubtful of the coroner’s dubious ruling, the Ives family hired a private investigator to look into the case. While looking into the case the investigator reported meeting resistance at every end. Local Police and other investigative agencies were uncooperative in contributing to the investigation. Five months, the families of Kevin and Don held a press conference and managed to have the case reopened. The bodies were exhumed and it was found that there was evidence to support that the boys were already dead before they were struck by the train. Their deaths were no longer classified as accidental but now ruled as homicides. Officially, the case still remains unsolved and there is no shortage of loose ends.
