that page seems very watered down. Not much is given away personally IMO. Although, I do take your meaning nosysw. You expect someone who claims to be a serial killer and who had been involved with Satanism (past or present) to have some sort of posts or shares that were disturbing or telling. Instead we see a girl posting about the weather, job situation, engagement, etc. And the only photos we can see are those of her and her little one.

People hide their less than publicly acceptable selves and don't tend to put that out there IMO. We see people do it, but IMO those are the stupid ones.

I agree as well. She says she started killing at 13, says they were all bad people, claims the most recent was a child molestor, then throws in a satanic cult to boot? Sounds like delusional revenge fantasies, IMO.
Any time I hear the words 'satanic cult' mentioned in a story, I get suspicious. Where is this cult? Surely if a 13 yr old got involved with them, they didn't slip under the radar...and I read where she claimed the 1st murder was motivated by somebody owing this man money. That sounds more like a drug or gang related killing than a cult. Wouldn't a cult be more apt to perform some kind of rituals instead of shooting somebody? IDK about this one. Her own mother supposedly admitted that she had been molested, well, has she said anything about the cult involvement?

I am waiting for more info to come out on this one. She has agreed to pinpoint on maps the exact location of some of her alleged murders and where the bodies where disposed of so it should be a simple matter for LE to determie if she is telling the truth of full of it.

Right, and that first murder was the "cult leader" holding her hands on the trigger of a gun and making her do it. Whaaaa? Her mother said she was molested at age four and a relative went to prison for it, but made no mention of a cult. You would think she would have some idea if her teenager was involved in any type of cult activity.

Even though she's holding her baby, her face a real sadness to it.



A friend of mine has met some satanists and says most are just atheists with a bad attitude.


GASP!

Hell no! IMO

Not to minimize the horror of this, but of all the junk I've read, heard and lived, this phrase "companion for unhappy males and brought in as much as $850 per meeting" is truly amazing. companion for unhappy males-that's a new one

I don't believe her numbers for the simple reason that there are not that many men missing in the state of Alaska who were not suspected of drowning or missing in the wilderness. I counted about 5 or 6 that might have been victims simply because of the circumstances, but I think that she has greatly exaggerated her numbers. However, whether she killed 5 or 50, she is obviously a dangerous person and it is a good thing that she has been caught.

Evidently her Mother was aware of her satanic interests......

Satanist has “hold on her”

"When she read an article published by The Daily Item about the strange coincidences of a string of number 1s related to her daughter’s alleged Craigslist ad, Dean said she broke down and cried.

An ad purportedly posted by Miranda at 1:11 a.m. Nov. 1 — looking to meet men who “hated their wives” — was not a coincidence, Dean said.

The murder took place Nov. 11, the same day as the birthday of Miranda’s husband, Elytte Barbour, and the two-year anniversary of her father’s remarriage, on Nov. 11, 2011.

Dean wept again.

“I told (Miranda) when she was in Alaska, she needed to stop all of this and get away from these (satanic) people,” Dean said. “She was involved in this satanic stuff and this man (Forrest) still has a hold on her. It’s heart-breaking.”

One day Miranda came home and said she wanted to change her life, so Dean sent her to North Carolina to live with Miranda’s uncle, Arlin Fletcher.

“I sent her down here and she was doing very good,” Dean said. “I moved down here to be with her, and then she met ‘Elf.’”

“Elf” is Elytte Barbour.

On Dec. 6, just three days after Miranda was arrested, Elytte told police he was also with his wife the night of the murder. He said he was hiding in the backseat of the Honda CRV, according to court documents.

After a sign was given, Elytte told police, he popped out from under a blanket and began to choke LaFerrara while Miranda stabbed the man, police said."

Many people have more than 1 FB page, too. A 'tame' one just for a few friends and family, plus another one for their 'other side/life.'

I personally think she's FOS about her claims of numerous other murders. I get the sense that she's enjoying the attention (even if negative attention) and wants the ?notoriety of being perceived as some clever serial killer.

I think it's sad she has a young child (where is this poor baby now?)...and her husband, too.

The fact that they killed this man and didn't even think to search his body for his cell phone (and remove it such that LE, upon finding his body, were able to redial last # called on his phone which lead to these 2) says to me that they are very sloppy and inexperienced.

Her FB page does show a sister who lives in Alaska.

I do not believe she killed 20+ other victims. I am sure she fantasized about it. But she is far too inept, sloppy and stupid to have gotten away with 20 previous murders. She is just another sick freak and I am happy she is locked away.

I look at it like the whole vampire culture. The vast majority aren't vampires (meaning drinkers of human blood) and like satanists they just use it for shock value.

Her mother knew but didn't get involved...because I would lock my teenager in a closet if I thought they were involved in a cult.

I'm glad LE is investigating this thoroughly, however, I doubt she's being truthful.

IMO, she's laying groundwork for an insanity defense.

Ron Wheeler, former DC homicide detective, was talking about this case on Fox this morning. He believes MB is inflating her murderous resume for shock value and attention. He adds however that he wouldn't rule out additional crimes, either by this couple or MB and other accomplices because of the planning and brutality of this crime.

Dean said Miranda called her on Jan. 27, the day the teen mom was served papers by her uncle, Arlin Fletcher, for custody of Miranda’s nearly 2-year-old daughter.

Miranda’s daughter was taken out of Snyder County protective services and placed in the care of Miranda’s father, who lives in Texas.

I wonder why mom didn't get (and doesn't seem to be trying to get) custody of her granddaughter. The uncle, who Miranda had apparently lived with when she moved to NC attempted to get custody, but ultimately the little girl was sent to Texas with Miranda's father. Something is off about this case, besides the obvious craziness...IMO. A lot more to come, I suspect.

She went on to discuss her daughter’s childhood.

“(Miranda) ran away from home when she was 12,” Dean said. Her daughter grew up in Alaska and has an older sister, Dean said.

“(Miranda) got hooked up with a guy (in Alaska) who was into satanic stuff, and when she came home one day, she told me that he owns her now.”

The man’s name was Forrest, Dean said.

“I asked her what she was talking about, and she told me that this man owns her and she has to do whatever he says,” Dean said. “She said he branded her by carving a swastika on the back of her neck and his name on her thigh.

“I told (Miranda) when she was in Alaska, she needed to stop all of this and get away from these (satanic) people,” Dean said. “She was involved in this satanic stuff and this man (Forrest) still has a hold on her. It’s heart-breaking.”

“She told me she was out prostituting at 12 years old and that this man was her ruler.”

She tried don't ya know? She told her 12 year old daughter to get away from this satanist who was pimping her out. What more could she have done?

I have to question what was going on at home that 12 year old girl runs off and finds some satanist pimp more appealing than home KWIM?

I should probably stop there. Ya'll can connect the dots to where I am at.

Right. "Telling her to stop" would be the very least of things that I would do. I would also have her placed on a Baker Act hold to have her evaluated for mental illness.

I didn't quote that part, honestly, because it made me too sad for Miranda. I know there's not a lot of sympathy for her here (myself included initially), but that article tugged at my heartstrings. :(
