When asked about it in 1991, Governor [[Bill Clinton]] said he had authorized financial help for a grand jury investigation. He said his office dropped off the entire investigative file to a congressional committee. Charles Black, the Polk County prosecutor, publicly disputed the Clinton's recollection regarding an offer of financial help. Black said he asked for financial help, but the Clinton's office never followed up on the offer.

On 23 April 1987, two 16 year old boys, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, stumbled upon and witnessed an aerial drop in the area of Bauxite and Alexander, Arkansas.<ref>http://www.idfiles.com </ref> Initial cause of death was claimed to be the result of passing out on a railroad track in Arkansas after smoking [[marijuana]]. The ruling was made by the State medical examiner Dr. Fahmy Malak.
In April 1988, Kevin's body was exhumed, and another autopsy was performed, this one by Atlanta medical examiner Dr. Joseph Burton who discovered that Kevin died from a crushed skull prior to being placed on the tracks. Don Henry's body was exhumed and discovered to have been stabbed in the back prior to being placed on the tracks. The deaths were indeed [[homocide]]s.
Arkansas State Police files of the investigation report the area where the two boys' bodies were found was a drop zone for drugs. Another report was that on the night the boys were killed, a witness saw two [[police]] officers beat up two boys and throw them in the back of a
police car a short distance from where the bodies were found.
A federal investigation was begun, but the Assistant United States Attorney, Bob Govar, reported that the FBI and DEA did not seem interested and did not furnish much help. Other reports in the state police file revealed that residents had complained about frequent low-flying planes in the area around the tracks.
