Summary
Paranoid American and Sean Chris dive into a forgotten gem from 1998, "Phenomenon: The Lost Archives" hosted by Dean Stockwell (from Quantum Leap). This episode exposes the real story behind Don Henry and Kevin Ives, two teens found dead on train tracks in Mena, Arkansas, whose deaths were covered up to protect a massive CIA drug smuggling operation. Through actual interviews with witnesses, prosecutors, and family members, this documentary reveals how deep government corruption goes when covering up international arms dealing and cocaine trafficking.
