Summary

1987 - Saline County, Arkansas. This is a preview of The Trail Went Cold’s coverage of the murders of Don Henry and Kevin Ives, also known as The Boys on the Tracks. The Trail Went Cold, created and hosted by Robin Warder, released a two-part episode about this convoluted case (that was featured on the original Unsolved Mysteries) for their five-year anniversary show in 2021. You can find the rest of the story at episode 213 and 214. Subscribe to The Trail Went Cold wherever you listen to podcasts or by visiting their website at https://www.trailwentcold.com. 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.

0:00.0	So there's this rumor going around in true crime. Maybe you've heard it, maybe you haven't,
0:06.1	but I'm here to tell you today that that rumor is true. Robin Warder is indeed the nicest guy in
0:13.1	true crime, and it's not just because he's Canadian. Robin's the host of a podcast called
0:18.4	The Trail Went Cold, and this show started in 2016. It is an OG of the true crime podcast world. The Trail Went Cold is a weekly true crime podcast that explores unsolved mysteries and cold cases. On every episode, Robin examines a new murder or missing persons case, tackling a wide variety of mysteries from different countries
0:38.3	and time periods. After sharing all the details about each case, Robin offers his own personal
0:43.6	analysis and theories about what happened. And at the time of this recording, the Trail Went Cold
0:48.5	has released over 400 episodes and it's approaching its nine-year anniversary, and some of the
0:53.9	cold cases it's covered
0:54.9	over the years have even been solved. You know I'm a fan of the original Unsolved Mysteries,
0:59.6	and if you are, The Trail Went Cold is the podcast for you, as it covers many of the cases that were
1:05.1	featured on the show, which are still unsolved to this day. And Robin will sometimes share
1:09.1	additional information that may cause you to look at
1:11.7	the case in a different light. Plus, Robin is also a great researcher. And if you recently listened to my
1:17.6	episode on Lynn Burdick, I want to recommend checking out episode 401 of the Trail Went Cold, which covers
1:22.7	two cases that I mentioned in that episode, the unsolved cases of Kim Banoid and Cynthia Krizik from North Adams.
1:29.3	This episode will give you all the information and theories that I didn't really have time to go over in Lynn's episode.
1:34.3	But for now, I'm going to play a clip of The Trail Went Cold, which covers one of the more famous cases on Unsolved Mysteries.
1:41.3	It's the 1987 murders of 16-year-old Don Henry and 17-year-old Kevin
1:46.4	Ives, more commonly known as The Boys on the Tracks. This is one of the most controversial
1:51.7	and convoluted cases you're ever going to find, and the trail went cold provided extensive
1:56.5	coverage about it on episodes 213 and 214. So here's a preview of the series, and I hope you
2:02.5	enjoy. Find the trail went cold wherever you get podcasts.
