Miranda Barbour: Inside the Mind of a Teenage Killer

Francis Scarcella - Miranda Barbour: Inside the Mind of a Teenage Killer
January 11

The Satan worshiping teen charged with murdering a 42-year-old man she lured through Craigslist claims two other men responded to her ad but failed to show up.

Miranda Barbour, 19, and her husband, Elytte Barbour, 22, are accused of stabbing and strangling Troy LaFerrara in Pennsylvania, after he responded to her ad for 'female companionship' in November.

However Barbour now claims that two other unidentified men narrowly escaped death by failing to keep their appointments.

'I tried it a few times but it never worked out,' Barbour told The Daily Item in her second jailhouse interview in six weeks.

'I knew we (Elytte Barbour) were going to do this since the day we met, and we tried, but the others just didn’t show up.'

Barbour claimed in her first jailhouse interview on February 14 that she killed at least 22 other people over six years in a cross-country murder spree motivated by her satanic cult beliefs.

During her second jailhouse interview at the State Correctional Institution in Muncy, a maximum security women’s prison, Barbour repeated her claims and said the FBI have not questioned her.

She said she was prepared to show authorities where she hid the bodies.

'I said before I would talk to them (FBI) about all of this, but they never came to see me,' she told The Daily Item.

'They are looking for full bodies. They won’t find any. But they will find body parts.'

The Daily Item reported that local investigators in three murder locations named by Barbour are taking the claims seriously, but said they have no unresolved homicides they know about.

Barbour said she dumped some body parts in Big Lake, Alaska, and also in Mexico Beach, Florida where she worked as a 15-year-old go-go dancer.

She also said she dumped a body off Interstate 95 near Raleigh, North Carolina.

Barbour lived in Alaska, Florida and North Carolina before moving to Selinsgrove last fall with her husband.

Sunbury police say the couple murdered LaFerrara the day of their three-week wedding anniversary and Elyette Babour's 22nd birthday.

Elytte Barbour had allegedly told police he and his wife wanted to kill together.

In her sensational first jailhouse interview in February, Barbour claimed she killed 22 people in the past six years in Alaska, Texas, North Carolina and California.

Explaining that she adopted a murderous alter ego she dubbed 'Super Miranda' when she killed, Barbour said that she kept a favorite knife that had notches on - one for each of her victims.

Speaking to TMZ about the horrifying admission from Barbour, Daily Item reporter, Francis Scarella said that he omitted the frightening and unsubstantiated number from his story.

However, he confirmed that like the fictitious serial killer Dexter, Barbour said she only killed bad people - those who abused children or owed money and that her satanism controlled her murderous rages.

Indeed, Scarella told TMZ he spoke with an ex-roomate of Barbour's who said that the abused teen possessed two vials of semen belonging to her husband and that she used them to masturbate in a satanic ritual.

Claiming that she only killed 'bad people who do bad things' in her self-confessed nationwide murder-spree, Barbour has been compared to the fictitious 'moral' serial killer played by Michael C. Hall on the Showtime cable network.

Amid these gruesome claims, the tiny Alaskan town of North Pole has become the center of the outlandish story about satanism and serial killers that Barbour claims began at the behest of a cult leader.
