LITTLE ROCK (CN) — An Arkansas woman sued the CIA and FBI this week for information on what she calls "a massive cover-up by federal, state and county officials" in the death of her son and another boy, whose bodies were left on a rural railroad track 29 years ago.
Linda Ives filed a lengthy Freedom of Information Act lawsuit Tuesday against 11 federal and state agencies, seeking "full and unredacted reports" on the deaths of her son, Larry Ives, and his friend, Don Henry.
Their bodies were found on Aug. 23, 1987, on a railroad track in rural Saline County, Ark.
Their unsolved deaths have been the subject of wild conspiracy theories and several books, movies and television specials.
The 1999 book, "The Boys on the Tracks," suggested the boys may have been killed by drug dealers or that police officer beat them up, dumped their bodies and orchestrated a cover-up. Other reports mention a mysterious man in military fatigues.
"There are lots of accounts of the cause of death of Kevin Ives from lots of books and other sources, but the accounts support several inconsistent theories of who did what, which will be difficult to reconcile without the investigative reports from the defendants," Ives says in the federal lawsuit.
The medical examiner originally classified the deaths as accidental: that the boys were run over by a train after they smoked marijuana and passed out.
A second round of autopsies in 1988 debunked that claim and concluded that the deaths were homicides.
Ives says she has little else to go on and has received inadequate responses from state and federal authorities "by virtue of no response or highly redacted responses."
"Plaintiff has been trying for the last 29 years to learn how her son was killed, why and by whom and has been met with stonewalling at every turn," she says.
"Plaintiff believes the only reason she has not received adequate responses is that an adequate response would show crimes by government officials and would expose them and government agencies to suits for damages. Plaintiff will prove that there has been a massive cover-up by federal, state and county officials. ...
"There is no legal excuse for non-response or a redacted response as there is no ongoing investigation as no one is being investigated or arrested. It is not an undisclosed investigation as it has been the subject of several books, movies and television specials. Plaintiff is entitled to know who killed her son, why her son was killed and who covered it up."
In addition to the CIA and FBI, defendants include the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Arkansas State Police, the Saline County Sheriff's Office and the Bryant (Ark.) Police Department.
She asks the court to order the agencies to provide "completely unredacted documents" and information on "any agencies who are directly or indirectly responsible for the death of Larry Kevin Ives or have covered up who was responsible for the death of Larry Kevin Ives."
She is represented by R. David Lewis in Little Rock. .
The Mena kids? They saw too much of the Clinton drug stash.
Isn’t this supposed to be the nexus of the Clinton-Bush shenanigans ?
One of many Arkancides.
Mena was a dirty part of our history. Government cocaine smuggling to support CIA operations. The Bush and Clinton family were both into it up to their eyeballs.
Very warm
The boys on the tracks were murdered in rural saline county near benton,ar.
Mena (air port) is about 110 miles west of benton.
Paging Dr. Malik!
There are a lot of people who don’t want this to come out. There may be nothing to find. Poppy Bush has been head of CIA, President, then got his son President twice, so could be there is nothing left, maybe even all the witnesses are dead or too involved to speak up.
This week is the 29th anniversary of the murder of “the boys on the track”.
there are two witnesses very close to the case still kickin & a few other players still around too.
God bless her mission...she’s gonna need Him.
this is why
I say that the bush and Clinton family are just as corrupt as the other...I really think that one of the reasons for the betrayal of the republican party by bush, Romney and McCain is that they are all tied to the Clintons and the crimes being committed. After this election if trump does not win and theses fools regain controle of the party. I am done. I will be independent and start to vote in anyway that tweaks those in control and I feel is corrupt. this even includes voting dem on those few occasions that a dem is honest. when I was in my 20s I swore never to vote dem but at this point it comes down to who is honest and who is corrupt.
Bttt.

Years ago I interviewed Linda Ives. Bill Clinton, Mena drugs, the CIA, and dead bodies. That’s the story -— Bill part of a criminal drug conspiracy cooperating with the CIA so that he would get a shot at the presidency.
Heads up on a subject of mutual interest...
Bryant/Benton...
Been there; saw the tracks...
If they are successful in stealing it from Trump and We the People, it won’t matter who votes for whom from here on out because America as we knew it will be permanently finished.
I think you’re on to it
