The (Secret) Heartbeat of America - May 12, 1997 A New Look at the Mena Story... All of the engineers on the train reported that the boys were lying motionless beneath a tarp... Duffey: "Dan Harmon was on the tracks with the boys the night that they were murdered"... Just prior to the boys' deaths a drop at that location had gone missing. Kevin and Don happened by, were grabbed by Kirk Lane and Jay Campbell, Pulaski County narcotics officers, interrogated, and subsequently killed. They are good friends with (former Clinton friend and convicted drug distributor) Dan Lasater
The Boys on the Tracks - Nov 05, 1999 Book Excerpt: A new look at the 1987 deaths of two Saline County Teens
Excerpt from Obstruction of Justice Linda Ives, mother of Kevin Ives: Our local investigation was headed by our sheriff, Jim Steed. He later went on television bragging about what a thorough investigation he had conducted, and that he felt very sorry for us as parents, but that he had every confidence in Fahmy Malak's ruling. Their investigation was so thorough that they left my son's foot out there for two days in plain sight. Dan Harmon was appointed special prosecutor to head the grand jury probe. However, as his investigation advanced, potential witnesses began turning up dead. Last minute legal maneuvering by Harmon, Garrett, and presiding judge, John Cole, prevented the jurors from revealing their findings in the final report. On Dec 31, 1988 the men and women of the grand jury were sent home frustrated that they had not been allowed to do their job
Arkansas Justice - Jun 13, 1997 former county prosecuting attorney Dan Harmon used his office as a criminal enterprise to extort narcotics and cash, proof that elements of Arkansas law enforcement were corrupted by drugs during Mr. Clinton's tenure as governor. Kevin Ives's mother, Linda Ives, has waged a decade-long battle for the truth in the train deaths and believes Mr. Harmon, Mena and senior Arkansas officials played some role in events connected to her son's murder
Never let this die - May 5, 2007 Linda Ives: May I remind everyone that the information regarding the Mena connection to the Death of My son was verified by the FBI's lead investigator before her investigation was shut down. Jean and I did not look for a Mena connection and did NOT welcome it. We knew it would only make things worse. Page 2: Harmon is out of prison and back in Benton. Keith McKaskill's murder was pinned on the boy who reported his murder. Page 5: Linda Ives: Harmona few months ago, Harmon was living in Benton and working at the Acura car dealership in Little Rock
Keith McKaskle Had information about the railway murders and said that Kirk Lane and Jay Campbell of the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office were following him around and he was afraid they were going to kill him. He was stabbed 113 times in Nov 1988. Then Jeff Rhodes, who had information about McKaskle's murder, was tortured and shot in the head in Apr 1989
Re: The Janie Ward Case Jeff Rhodes -- April 1989: Called his father who lived in Texas and told him that he had to get out of Arkansas because of what he knew about Kevin and Don's and the McKaskle murders. Was found shot and his body burned in a dump near Benton. Frank Pilcher, Jr. was convicted of the murder. During trial testimony, Pilcher implicated Jordan Ketelsen in McKaskle's murder. Within weeks, Ketelsen was arrested in Texas in a van registered to Ron Ketelsen, and police found more than 400 grams of cocaine
Out of control in Lonoke County - Jun 22, 2006 by Mara Leveritt, author of The Boys on the Tracks. The arrest of Lonoke Police Chief Ronald Jay Campbell, for manufacturing methamphetamine, hindering prosecution, burglary and theft. Arkansas Circuit Judge John Cole, a veteran of Saline County politics, appointed Benton attorney Dan Harmon to conduct a special grand jury investigation into circumstances surrounding the [railway] deaths... In August 1998 he told Linda Ives, mother of one of the boys, that Campbell and Lane were responsible for her son’s murder. They and their boss, Maj. Larry Dill, made no secret of their contempt for Harmon's investigation. Dan Lasater said he’d known he was being watched by federal agents because he had been tipped off by Campbell. Witness Ronnie Godwin: I saw them pick the boy up off the ground and throw him into the back seat. According to Godwin, the car had police hubcaps, three antennas on the trunk and a spotlight on the side. Another witness, "Jerry", saw two men in plain clothes pull up in an unmarked police car. Jerry identified one of the men as Lane; Mike Crook stated that that the boys and these two cops got into an argument and the two cops beat the boys unconscious and threw them into the car and then drove off. Keith McKaskle told Crook that Kirk Lane and Jay Campbell of the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office were following him around and he was afraid they were going to kill him. They did. Immediately after Campbell’s arrest, Linda Ives wrote letters reminding Lonoke officials that she had tried to warn them about Campbell when he was hired as the city’s police chief. The following law enforcement staff gave Campbell glowing testimonials and therefore need to be watched: Little Rock FBI agents Mike Smith, Brian Marshall and James Handley Jr., Sheriff Donny Ford of Dallas County, Benton police officer Richard Stephen Holland

We finally won one - Jul 19, 2001 the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane in their lawsuit against the Obstruction of Justice video
The Boys on the Tracks - Dec 22, 2008 Ronni Wright writes about Keith McCaskill, who witnessed the murders and was himself stabbed to death soon afterwards
New Benton Police Chief is Old Benton PD - Dec 29, 2008 Kirk Lane!!! Linda Ives: I've been told Holland is to make the announcement tomorrow. Many may recall that Holland intended to hire Lane when he was first elected but it caused such a "stink" that he was unable to do it then. It didn't pass the smell test then and I am hoping it won't pass the smell test now. Many thought I was crazy when I went public with information about Dan Harmon and Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane. I was right about Harmon, I was right about Campbell and I am right about Lane. Lane is the last person we need as chief of police of Benton.
Dan Harmon - Jan 06, 2009 Harmon is working at the Circuit Clerk's office in the file room!!!

Clinton's Corrupt Coroner - Fahmy Malak
Clinton's Ties to Controversial Medical Examiner [Malak] Questioned - May 19, 1992 Gov. Bill Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, refused for several years to dismiss a state medical examiner whose controversial decrees included a ruling that helped Clinton's mother, a nurse-anesthetist, avoid scrutiny in the death of a patient. Relatives of murder victims formed an organization, "Victims of Malak's Incredible Testimony", or VOMIT. Read about Clinton's mother killing two patients through negligence
Fahmy Malak - Video Excerpts Malak's plan was to rule the boys' deaths a double suicide. However, after conferring with Jim Steed, Saline County Sheriff, they decided no one would accept such a ruling and changed the cause of death to accidental. The families' nightmare battle against the state medical examiner was made more difficult by Governor Clinton's public support of Malak. However, after thirteen long months, the parents were finally able to prove what they had believed all along, that the boys had indeed been murdered
James Milam, witness to Mena drugs operation Decapitated. Fahmy Malak ruled death due to natural causes and that the head had been eaten by Milam's small dog. Later the head was found nearby, cleanly cut off Milam's body
Malak's shaky past causes Guam to rescind $160,000 job offer - Aug 19, 1992 in his interview, Malak mentioned "being caught in something political" in Arkansas
Arkansas coroner Fahmy Malak's corrupt rulings started at the beginning of Clinton's governorship That Malak survived in Arkansas throughout the Bill Clinton years as governor is a testament to Clinton's power. Later, Malak's house was burned down and he took this as a message to keep quiet about what he knew. He later told close friends that if were to be found dead, they should not believe that it was a suicide. Funny or what?
