Two months later, on June 23, Juanita Wofford, 58, was discovered murdered in her bed after she failed to attend a church event. The victim’s inability to identify her assailant and limitations of DNA evidence three decades ago meant that the case stalled. On the night of April 10, 1993, Vines kicked his way through the door of her house, where he savagely beat and raped her, according to the special. Vines’ first victim, Lilly Jones, was an 89-year-old woman who lived by herself despite being legally blind. The two-hour special features interviews with detectives, psychologists, and victims’ family members. Vines’ heinous crimes are explored in depth in “Snapped Notorious: The River Valley Killer,” airing Saturday, October 9 at 9/8c on Oxygen. He was caught in 2000 after attacking a 16-year-old girl. He was also a brutal serial murderer, infamously known as the River Valley Killer, who raped and stabbed two elderly women to death in Sebastian and Crawford counties the 1990s. Those admirable outward traits made it all the more difficult to comprehend that Charles Ray Vines was hiding a dark and depraved secret. He was a man who spent quality time with his kids and shared vegetables from his garden with neighbors in the quiet community in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
