Was an arrest ever made in the case of the two teenage boys from Arkansas who were killed by the train around 1987? Their bodies were laying on the tracks. Originally the coroner said they were doped up and were in a sleep induced drug-like coma. That was later disproved and it was shown one was already dead when they were hit. I always found this case eerie because it happened to two schoolmates of mine in Georgia around the same time. The circumstances were almost identical. I know it was several states apart but the manner in what it happened was just so similar that it still gives me chills when I watch the segment.

I know the case you're referencing. It was never solved although they had a few suspects. I read a book on it - The Boys On The Tracks by Mara Leveritt.

Here is the UM Wikia on the case.

Some of the case is referenced on this Wiki page as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clinton_Chronicles

Too bad it was never solved, I didn't realize there were cases that were similar to it.

In a later update (which I believe is shown on the DVD) they talk about a similar case. In my home state (Georgia) there is also a case which was almost identical. It was too similiar (in my opinion) not to have been related. Two teenage guys, laying on railroad tracks in middle of night, claims of being "doped up," etc.

I hate to ask this, but does anyone know where you can find this one particular video? I have the majority of the shows left over from the VCR days, but this is one that segment I cannot find.

also aside from the official UM DVD:
It is mentioned somewhere on here before (the exact details) but there were other documentaries done about this case and other cases focusing more on drug trafficking and corruption of govt officials in that area at the time of the murders. I watched some videos before on the Internet.
