Miranda's dad supports daughter's execution if verdict is guilty
By Francis Scarcella The Daily Item February 19, 2014
SUNBURY — If Miranda Barbour is convicted in the murder of Troy LaFerrara and sentenced to death, Sonny Dean says he will hold the hand of LaFerrara’s widow as his daughter is executed.
Dean on Wednesday also said he believes his daughter may have been involved in one murder other than her alleged participation in the slaying of LaFerrara, the 42-year-old Port Trevorton resident who was fatally stabbed Nov. 11 in Sunbury.
Sunbury police accuse Barbour, 19, and her husband, Elytte, 22, in the killing.
Dean, speaking to the media for the first time since his daughter was arrested Dec. 3 in connection with the murder, said Miranda was a heroin addict, is the most manipulative person he knows and is a liar.
His daughter is not, he believes, a mass murderer....
The father of Barbour’s child, also a satanist, was murdered, she said during the jailhouse interview.
“I didn’t kill him,” Barbour said. “But I know all about it.”....
Dean did not dispute Miranda’s claim of being a satanist.
“Satanism is real,” he said. “It is a growing cult that will go to great lengths to seize our children. You don’t have to be affiliated with the ‘Church of Satan’ to worship him.”....

Miranda Barbour's Husband: 'Who's to Say' If She's a Serial Killer? By Steve Helling 02/20/2014
....Meanwhile, police and FBI agents are scouring five states to find more possible victims of the petite 19-year-old mother. So far, there have been no results. "Investigators are looking into a couple of cases, but have not connected anything else to Miranda Barbour," an FBI source tells PEOPLE. "We don't have proof that she committed other murders."
....Some of Miranda Barbour's claims seem too outrageous to be true. In her jailhouse interview, she said she was a member of a Satanic cult and had a murderous alter ego named "Super Miranda." She also reportedly admitted to having a favorite knife that had notches on it, one for each victim. "There might be a knife with notches," the FBI source tells PEOPLE, "but that proves nothing. We need solid evidence."
So is Barbour a serial killer? Law enforcement officials in Alaska, North Carolina and Pennsylvania have found no evidence of other murders. Why would she lie?
"Attention. Psychosis. Strategy," says the FBI source. "Maybe she wants to look crazy as a way to gain sympathy. On the other hand, she may have killed before. We need to check it out."

Is this the world's worst serial killer? Miranda Barbour reveals where her victims lay
AFTER years of killing, Miranda Barbour found it hard to keep track. “When I hit 22, I stopped counting,” the pretty teenager says. “But it’s less than 100.”

....Barbour met her husband after they joined the Satanist cult which has dominated her life and allegedly led to her first killing at the tender age of 13.
She traces her murderous desires back to the age of four when she was molested by an uncle.
Her mother Elizabeth Dean, 41, confirms that her sister’s husband was sentenced to 14 years in prison for child sex abuse. “It was bad,” says Dean. “I never let her stay anywhere except for my sister’s house and I was devastated when I found out.”
Nine tormented years later, Barbour joined a Satanic cult in Alaska, where her family was living and was quickly inducted into a life of murder.
The cult leader took Barbour along to meet a man who owed him money, she recalls.
“It was in an alley and he shot him,” says Barbour. “Then he said to me that it was my turn to shoot him. I hate guns. I don’t use guns. I couldn’t do it.
"So he came behind me and he took his hands and put them on top of mine and we pulled the trigger. And from there I just continued to kill.”....
And the newlyweds decided to celebrate their third week’s anniversary by murdering someone together.
“He is proud of what he did,” she says. “I will always love him.”....
She shows no remorse and, against her lawyer’s advice, wants to come clean and stop living a lie.
“By no means is this a way to glorify it or get attention,” she says. “I feel it is time to get all of this out. I don’t care if people believe me. I just want to get it out.”
