Police have been unable to verify over 20 murders that teenage mother Miranda Barbour has claimed to commit.
Barbour, 19, told police Friday that she had been a member of a satanic cult for six years. During that time, she claimed to have murdered over 22 people. Barbour is currently awaiting trial in the murder case of Troy Laferrara.
The Associated Press reports that police have found no leads in Barbour’s murder claims from previous years. They are currently in the process of contacting other police stations as necessary.
According to CNN, many families that have cold case murders are clinging to the chance that their loved one’s murders may be solved.
Prosecutors, however, are skeptical of Barbour’s murder claims, saying that the “have not received any information verifying what she said.”
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in Barbour’s upcoming trial for the murder of Troy Laferrara.
