She and her husband are accused of luring a man and killing him in November

(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."

Scary stuff.

Ya know, its stuff like this that makes me wish we still had law and order like the old west, people like this when confessing would be taken out back and have a bullet put in their head, or a public hanging. Now they waste taxpayer money prosecuting and caring for them the entire time they sit in jail and brag to newspapers because they know if one technicality goes wrong in court, they are free.

This was my reaction when I read the news story on my phone.

Chilling, if true.

Innocent people would also get a bullet in the head. Innocent people also confess to crimes they have not committed for a variety of reasons. I know you're being facetious mostly but those days were a curse for mankind...there's simply no way to only hang the people who deserve it.

LOL.

I'm with bte. This chick is talking out her ass.

She's killed twenty-two+ victims ( so many that she lost count??) since the age of 13??
GTFOH.

[broncofan]

She's killed at least one person, which should be enough to get her life unless the prosecutor is a genuine moron.

[broncofan]

And that's not be argumentative Giovanni, as I agree with you. She is probably talking out of her ass. But I'm sure a lot of people who talk this kind of shit haven't at least done what got her arrested!!

What's tragic is how many people routinely go missing or are murdered in the USA and are never found again.

Ted Bundy once made the statement from prison that there are more skilled, more intelligent, more affluent and more prolific serial killers out there who will NEVER be caught.

Hard to tell with a gal like this from the little information we have. Quite a bodycount for a 19 year old to claim. Let's see how her "pinpointing on a map" goes. Pinpointing on a map is not her exactly leading them to the gravesite. Many police departments have cases they want to close out too. Need to take the time to make sure to attach the proper suspect to the proper victim(s). Whatever case is brought needs to be tight.
