The Ronald Gene Simmons murders were 35 years ago. They remain the largest family mass murders in the nation's history. The Lead Investigator at the time was Lieutenant Ray Caldwell. Ray retired after 39 years of service with the Sheriff's Office as a Captain. Ray and I sat down and spoke about this incident at the Pope County Sheriff's Office in Russellville. Ray has done many interviews about these murders that have appeared in various news articles. I wanted to do an interview with Ray that was just about Ray. How everything started, how he and his team discovered the bodies, and how it has affected him over the years. Here is the interview I did with him and what he had to say after all this time. 

*Special Thank You to Ray Caldwell for sitting down with me for this interview
