Mena Controversy

For some bizarre reason, a Houston Public Access cable channel showed the video described on this website just a while ago.

It was disturbing.

I guess I was in a fog when the Mena controversy was swirling (high school, actually, and undergrad). I don't remember a bit of it.

Scary thing is, I go backpacking all the time in the Ouachita Mountains near Mena. In fact, I think I've camped a few hundred yards from the rail line at the center of the controversy, although not the spot on the line where the alleged murders took place.

Eerie.

I'm going to have to give this book a read.
