How far away? I understood them to be in the area of the drug drops. That’s what Linda Ives told me. I have heard people talk about how dirty Dan Harmon was.
Mena is near the western border of Arkansas, next to Oklahoma. (Google Map)
The distance from Alexander to Mena is 102.5 miles.
The so-called Mena scandal has been used as a smokescreen to disguise the true culprits in various unrelated crimes like the Ives/Henry murders and cocaine at Tyson Foods. By sending investigators on a wild-goose chase on the CIA, the real culprits got away.
But some of them got caught anyway in other crimes. Dan Harmon was sent to prison in 1997 and released in 2006. Earlier this year, Jay Campbell was sentenced to 304 years in prison, but he could be released in about ten years.
