As explained by WrestlingInc, Haynes began 1987 with a bang, competing at “WrestleMania III” against Hercules in front of a crowd of 93, 000 fans inside the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan, 900 miles away from where this incident took place.
Later that year, on August 23, Kevin Ives, aged 17 and Don Henry, aged 16 were both brutally murdered in Alexander, Arkansas while hunting.
In an attempt to cover up their murders, the criminal placed the two bodies on railroad tracks, where a union train ran over them mere hours later.
For just over three decades, residents of Saline County have attempted to solve the murder with no success. There have been theories, books such as “The Boys on the Tracks,” and appearances on television shows such as “Unsolved Mysteries,” but the case still remains open.
In addition to this, multiple people have come forward, passing polygraph tests, to give evidence as witnesses and there is reported to have been a confession letter by the perpetrator but said perpetrator has not been identified, arrested or convicted.
Haynes has said he was hired by an Arkansas politician to be the security at a drug deal near the Saline County railroad tracks, which is where he witnessed the murders.
The video below was created by Haynes himself in relation to a GoFundMe account through which he hopes to acquire funds for the families involved to aid in the investigation.
We recommend you watch this as he goes in depth on why it was that he ended up being security during the drug deal.

Linda Ives, the mother of one of the victims, told KARK 4 News that she believes Haynes is trying to “Make things right while he still can,” following years in the drug and pro wrestling industries.
