Charles Ray Vines Identified as Prime Suspect in Multiple Decoded Chapter 8 Cipher Victims
New forensic analysis has identified Charles Ray Vines, also known as the River Valley Killer, as a prime suspect in three decoded “Chapter 8” cipher victims, with compelling indicators of a possible operational and communicative connection to Dennis Rader (BTK).

The investigation is being led by forensic profiler and investigator Melissa Phelan, host of Alternative Eye, alongside her investigative team, utilizing a novel decoding methodology combined with scientific replication techniques to strengthen forensic relevance.

One of the newly decoded Chapter 8 victims includes Melissa Witt, who was abducted from Bowling World in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in 1994, and later found murdered. Charles Ray Vines was a known prime suspect in Witt’s case, as well as in two additional victims now linked through the decoded cipher material. Melissa Witt has also been matched to known sketches of Dennis Rader- depicting a woman bound and gagged with the tag line “THE SEXUAL THRILL IS MY BILL”.

Through pattern analysis, behavioral signatures, geospatial mapping, and offender methodology, the decoded admissions attributed to Rader show consistent alignment with Vines’ known movements, victim selection, and operational behaviors during the period he terrorized the Fort Smith River Valley region.

Vines, who later died in prison, had long been associated with multiple unsolved homicides in the area. This new analysis suggests the possibility that Vines operated either in coordination with or within the knowledge network of Rader, a theory supported by overlapping timelines, victimology, and encoded admissions.
Dennis Rader
The decoding process employed was replicated using a structured scientific framework to reduce interpretive bias and enhance evidentiary value. Findings are currently being reviewed for further validation and potential submission to appropriate investigative authorities.
