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.

Art Bell was a radio legend. His call in shows were, are still are, the stuff of fantasy and nightmare. Bell himself was a expert showman, who could create something out of nothing; a simple call detailing an otherwise mundane situation, event or experience could be turned into a must listen, appointment radio.
Such was the tale of Mel's Hole. A listener called in talking about a hole he had found on his land; this hole, claimed the caller, was bottomless. Despite attempting to discover the depth of the aperture, it was never established. From minor things like domestic garbage and rubble, cars and vans, even industrial waste seemed to be swallowed up by this seemingly endless void. The caller didn't want to give his precise location, as he didn't want tourists trampling all over what was effectively his land and livelihood.
However, as the story grew so did the bizarre circumstance. The Military eventually turned up, took possession of the area and left the owner with no access; bizarre things started happening in and around the area. Call built on call, and with each embellishment the listenership grew, agog for the next detail which may just solve the mystery.
Except... none of this had definitive proof. No pictures, video or other supportive evidence was ever produced, at least nothing substantive. Eventually, the caller 'sold' the land and disappeared, and the mystery was left to grow in the bright combination of imagination and silence.
The truth is, no one knows what Mel's Hole actually was; was it a endless pit or was it just a clever gimmick with a suitably ambiguous name designed to boost ratings whilst not actually existing?
Whichever it was, Art Bell took the simple narrative and turned it, over a suitably events driven period of time, into an urban legend which made him and his show internationally famous. It is possibly the second most searched for clip on the Bell Archive and other search engines, triggering theories, imagination and wild, wild solutions.
It was a radio marketers dream.
This is the story of Mel's Hole.

Andrew Lownie – Lord Louis Mountbatten abuse allegations.
Andrew Lownie is a historian and author and former fellow of Cambridge college. He has written substantive and well-researched books on British society and particularly the Royal family.
In this interview he talks about the growing allegations that Lord Louis Mountbatten was a serial child / sex abuser.
From Wikipedia
Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten was a British naval officer, colonial administrator and close relative of the British royal family. Mountbatten, who was of German descent, was born in the United Kingdom to the prominent Battenberg family and was a maternal uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and a second cousin of King George VI. He joined the Royal Navy during the First World War and was appointed Supreme Allied Commander, South East Asia Command, in the Second World War. He later served as the last Viceroy of India and briefly as the first Governor-General of the Dominion of India.
The fresh allegations – one of several that have surfaced recently – is different as the accuser has provided legal, medical and witness evidence, and has also provided his name. Something other accusers have been reluctant to have published for obvious reasons.

Derf BackDerf - The Kent State Killings
Jun 5, 2023
The Anti-war movement in the 1970s was one of the biggest or perceived as the biggest threat to the American society in generations.
Derf talks to Ed about his work and his current project, which is the killings of students during a anti-war protest in 1970, known as The Kent State Shootings.
The event and the cover up was one of the most obvious and blatant in your face operations, even for the US Government under Nixon.
The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre and the Kent State massacre) resulted in the killing of four and wounding of nine unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard, on the Kent State University campus. The shootings took place on May 4, 1970, during a peace rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War into Cambodia by United States military forces as well as protesting the National Guard presence on campus. This incident marked the first time a student was killed in an anti-war gathering in United States history.
Derf Backderf, is an American cartoonist. He is most famous for his graphic novels, especially My Friend Dahmer, the international bestseller which won an Angoulême Prize, and earlier for his comic strip The City, which appeared in a number of alternative newspapers from 1990 to 2014. In 2006 Derf won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for cartooning. Backderf has been based in Cleveland, Ohio, for much of his career.
His award winning book, Kent State is out now.
It was won EISNER AWARD, Best Non-fiction Book; ALEX AWARD, for YA literature, The American Library Association ; ACBD CRITICS AWARD, France ;RINGO AWARD, Best Non-fiction Book

Stephen Marche - The Next Civil War - Dispatches from the American Future
Dec 9, 2022
Researcher and prolific writer Stephen Marche talks to Ed Opperman about the state of America, and the likely directionit is heading in. In a disquieting interview, Marche details his work looking into the abyss America teeters on the edge of, and with global, financial, economic and environmental disaster just standing close behind, his conclusions should worry us all.
Book Review from Goodreads
In this deeply researched work of speculative nonfiction that reads like Ezra Klein’s Why We’re Polarized crossed with David Wallace-Wells’s The Uninhabitable Earth, a celebrated journalist takes a fiercely divided America and imagines five chilling scenarios that lead to its collapse, based on in-depth interviews with experts of all kinds.
On a small two-lane bridge in a rural county that loathes the federal government, the US Army uses lethal force to end a standoff with hard-right anti-government patriots. Inside an ordinary diner, a disaffected young man with a handgun takes aim at the American president stepping in for an impromptu photo-op, and a bullet splits the hyper-partisan country into violently opposed mourners and revelers. In New York City, a Category 2 hurricane plunges entire neighborhoods underwater and creates millions of refugees overnight—a blow that comes on the heels of a financial crash and years of catastrophic droughts— and tips America over the edge into ruin.
If there was an interview which will make people sit up and take notice of where the U.S. is at, then this is surely a contender for that position.

American Heart of Darkness: Volume I:The Transformation of the American Republic into a Pathocracy
Jan 3, 2021
These days, most Americans know that the country has serious problems. Problems that will have to be addressed before the country can move forward. What are these problems? Where did they come from? Before we can move forward we have to know where we are and how we got there.
American Heart of Darkness paints an unvarnished picture of the seeds of destruction that were sown into the foundations of the Republic from the very beginning. How did slavery come about in the land of the free? How did a pre-Columbian native population, in North America alone, of over eighteen million (yes, you heard it right) native peoples dwindle down to about two hundred thousand? Was it really Small Pox? Why has a people who constantly talk about freedom, democracy, equality, human rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness continually practiced racism, genocide, and war? How do drugs come into the country, and who is really behind the most profitable product sold in the world? There are also other unanswered questions that need to be explored:
Why were thousands of the worst Nazi war criminals given refuge in the U.S.?
Who financed Hitler?
Where did Hitler get his master race and genocidal ideas from?
Was Lee Harvey Oswald a C.I.A. agent?
Were Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVey, and the Peoples Temple all mind control, MKULTRA, subjects?
What really happened in the Jeffery MacDonald, so-called Fatal Vision case?
How does hundreds of billions of dollars come into the United States every year without detection?
The answers to these questions, and many more, will surprise you! They are not in the History books, although they should be. American Heart of Darkness, Volume I, explores the ugly side of America that has been hidden for far too long, and it is literally killing us. This book is not for the reader looking for an uplifting story to escape everyday life for a few hours. It is for true patriots who are sick and tired of being lied to and stolen from. It is for those who know they need to do something but do not know where to start. It is for those who feel powerless and that Americas problems are far too big for little ol me to handle. It is for those with the courage to go from darkness to light. As comedian and activist Dick Gregory once said, If you been in the DARK for so long, LIGHT will hurt your eyes. This book will hurt your eyes. The reader will be shocked, then angry, then motivated, and finally, in the authors next two books, empowered and liberated. It is better to see where we are and where we need to go, right now, before it is too late.
Congratulations! If you have read this far this book is probably for you. Please keep in mind the universal truth that with any form of government, the leaders only have the power that the people allow them have. This was true in India when a little skinny guy named Gandhi with no money and only a rag wrapped around his middle took on the British Empire, and won! There is no question that the American people have the power to reclaim a government that is clearly not being run for them. We have to empower ourselves to take this government back from only a handful of selfish and greedy individuals, who have proven that they only care about making more and more money. Let us all stop giving them the power that belongs to us. Reading this book is a beginning, and then we will talk about what to do about it in the authors next two books!
