When three small children went on an innocent trip to the beach a mere five minutes from their home, no one would have ever thought they would never come home. This safe and quiet town in Australia would never be the same again, and stranger danger became a common phrase for the people of that community.

As Halloween approaches we often wonder if those haunted houses we walk through and scary movies we watch could turn into a reality. On October 30, 1975, a  fun night spent with friends turned into the plot of a scary movie as one teen is left bludgeoned to death in her backyard.

When a train coming through Benton, Arkansas, ran over two young men on the tracks in the early morning hours of August 23rd, 1987, law enforcement seemed immediately convinced that this was an accident or a double-suicide. The medical examiner ruled their deaths an “accident.” However, after a legal battle headed by the parents forced a re-examination of details from the scene as well as a second autopsy, their deaths were ruled “probable homicide.” In addition to the normal cold case question of who could possibly have hurt 16-year-old Don Henry and 17-year-old Kevin Ives, in this case, we also have much larger questions: why is no one, even today, willing to investigate this case as a murder? And, if Kevin’s mother, Linda, were right and the unwillingness to investigate is part of a cover-up, how far up the ladder does the corruption go?

In 2008, Crystal had been out of touch with her adoptive brother for nine years,  after her mom said he had been taken back into state custody in 1999. When Crystal called to find out information about how to find him and was told that he was NEVER back in state custody at all, she began asking the very same question we are still asking today: then where IS he?

After seeing Love Me Tender no fewer than 11 times in 1956, the Grimes sisters were on cloud nine as they headed home to make their midnight curfew. But they never made it home. Multiple sightings of the girls only clouded the investigation, and conflicting autopsy and police reports only added to the confusion. All these years later,  we are still asking “who could have committed this crime?”
