(CNN) — A Pennsylvania woman charged in the November slaying of a man she and her husband met through Craigslist has told a newspaper that she killed many more victims, and authorities told CNN Sunday they are investigating the woman’s shocking claims.
A law enforcement source close to the investigation said Miranda Barbour’s new claims could be “the real deal.” “It’s conceivable,” the source said, who did not want to be identified because of the ongoing investigation.
From prison on Friday, the 19-year-old Barbour told a reporter for the Daily Item in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, that she participated in at least 22 killings in the past six years in Alaska, Texas, North Carolina and California.
“When I hit 22, I stopped counting,” Barbour is quoted as saying in a phone interview from Northumberland County Prison on Friday night. “I can pinpoint on a map where you can find them.”
Sunbury Police Chief Steve Mazzeo told CNN that investigators have been in contact with the FBI and law enforcement in some of the states where Barbour has lived.
