WATCH: The Boys on the Tracks
Many of you are likely familiar with the case of The Boys on the Tracks, for those that aren’t I will be vague to avoid spoiling the experience. What starts with two teenaged boys going spotlight hunting late at night leads to a train accident, a police investigation and potential corruption at the highest levels of government.
Many documentaries and YouTube channels have covered it, I chose to share Stephanie Harlowe’s version because she’s an excellent and thorough researcher who – generally speaking – avoids hyperbole and leaping to conclusions. Highly recommend her work.
It is a fascinating story. Very good Sunday afternoon viewing.
This is part one of a series, watch parts [2][3][4].

Didn’t Meathead make a movie out of this?
All due respect, there is a better film about this story, more documentary style, with all of the victims involved. I will have to search around for it to link it, but in the meantime it can probably be found unless it’s been removed.
I’d love to see a proper documentary about this. Do you remember what it was called?
To watch an old criminal case of four parts of several hours each, given that at the moment, right now, the World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in Brazil are being broadcast on TV, where our girls* (*not the stupid ukrainians) are performing great?!?!
You must be kidding me. I am a serious person, in order to attract my attention, it must be of the rank of a threat of imminent mass chipping or combination with ribbons and clubs.
Happened in Arkansas while Bill Clinton was governor……… nothing to see so. Must be totally above board and nothing to do with drug drops.
Thanks but no thanks. I cant handle women who talk constantly for hours and at the same time try to sell a bed to me.
I will check this out. I am wondering if it is about the “accident” many years ago in Arkansas, USA.
I checked it out. Not what I expected. I saw the original documentary years ago. Far more detailed. Not commentary. Showed the actual victims and everyone involved.
It seems there are a number of podcasters now covering this story on there sites – and they are all FILLED with youtube commercials.
I am going to keep digging for the original. It was pretty scathing.
Had never heard of this story, but one thing is certain: Justice is just a word without a meaning in a world choking on corruption.
I have to admit there is a big clean up job coming on someone behalf, but I guess somebody got to do it, glad its not me.
