About this episode

The episode explores the double homicide of two Arkansas teenagers and the ensuing political coverup linked to drug trafficking and corruption.

In August 1987, two Arkansas teenagers stumbled into the woods for a midnight hunting trip and walked right into an active, high-stakes drug drop. Hours later, their bodies were laid out across train tracks to be crushed by a freight train. What started as an absurd official ruling of "accidental marijuana stupor" quickly unraveled into a terrifying web of local corruption, a trail of murdered grand jury witnesses, the CIA-linked Mena airport, and state-level protection reaching all the way to the Governor’s Mansion. Join us as we break down the double homicide, the syndicate, and the dark political coverup that shocked the nation.
