Two teens are found dead on railroad tracks. The official ruling? An accident.  But the scene tells a different story.  In 1987, two Arkansas teenagers were found dead on a set of railroad tracks under circumstances that defied easy explanation. Despite unusual evidence at the scene--including a destroyed firearm and reports of missing materials--their deaths were officially ruled an accident.  In this episode, we examine the “Boys on the Tracks” case, unpacking the inconsistencies, investigative missteps, and lingering questions that have fueled decades of speculation. As the timeline unfolds, key details begin to challenge the official narrative and raise the possibility that the full story was never uncovered.  Note from Jonathan and Cooper: Journalist Mara Leveritt played a central role in documenting this case over many years. Her reporting is an essential starting point for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the story.  --------  For ad-free listening to Crime Scene and access to over 60 true crime series, subscribe to The Binge+ on Apple Podcasts, Patreon, or at GetTheBinge.com.  Watch Crime Scene on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBingeTrueCrime  Follow Crime Scene:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebingecrimescene/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebingecrimescene  Get our free true crime newsletter for behind-the-scenes details at Patreon.com/TheBinge.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In the mid-1970s, a man burst onto the evangelical scene with a shocking tale: claiming to be a former witch involved in human sacrifices among elite circles. After converting to Christianity, he toured the nation warning of hidden Satanists and spoke about a secret organization known as the Illuminati. John Todd preached salvation to frightened congregations, urging them to prepare for a world takeover by stockpiling weapons and retreating to remote areas.   But John Todd was no saint; he was not the good, honest Christian he claimed to be. He was running from his past. As his influence peaked and his teachings spread through countless tapes, his facade crumbled, and he vanished. Yet, his legacy endured, inspiring acts of extreme violence from Ruby Ridge, Waco, PizzaGate, QAnon right through to the steps of the Capitol on January 6th.    A Magnificent Noise & Sony Music Entertainment production.
