Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 143: The Murders of Kevin Ives and Don Henry Pt. 1

In this chilling installment of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak "RedPill78" Paine dig into one of the most disturbing and enduring unsolved cases of the 1980s: the deaths of Kevin Ives and Don Henry, also known as the “Boys on the Tracks.” What begins as a mysterious tragedy in rural Arkansas quickly unravels into a sinister web of drug trafficking, police corruption, compromised officials, and CIA operations tied to Mena Airport. Herold and Paine expose the inconsistencies in the official narrative, the horrifying autopsy revelations, and the string of witnesses and investigators who died under suspicious circumstances. They highlight the role of Kevin’s mother, Linda Ives, in keeping the case alive and forcing public attention on a story that implicates powerful political interests. This is part one of a multi-episode deep dive into a case that’s far more than a local scandal, it’s a glimpse into a nationwide cover-up with global implications.
