A teenage Satanist, charged with the murder of a man she met through the Craigslist contact website, has admitted killing at least 22 others.
Miranda Barbour could be one of America’s most prolific female serial killers after making the confession to a Pennsylvania newspaper from her prison cell.
The 19-year-old said she was just 13 when she began the nationwide killing spree in her home state of Alaska, adding: ‘When I hit 22, I stopped counting
.’
Police in the state are now working with the FBI and investigators across the country to examine unsolved murders stretching from Texas to North Carolina and California.
Barbour told the Sunbury Daily Item: ‘I can pinpoint on a map where you can find them.’

She was arrested with her husband, Elytte Barbour, 22, over the fatal stabbing of 42-year-old Troy LaFerrara, who she met for sex through the ad site.
She denied the killing when she appeared in court in December but told the Item the plan was for her husband to strangle LaFerrara after they picked him up.
‘Things got out of control,’ she added.
‘I can tell you he was not supposed to be stabbed. My husband was just supposed to strangle him. I’m telling you because it’s time for me to be honest, and I feel I need to be honest.’
Barbour joined a Satanic cult in Alaska after suffering childhood abuse at the hands of a relative and took part in her first killing when the cult leader shot a man who owed him money.
