Miranda Barbour, 19, has killed more than 20 people, police said. / Daily Item

A Pennsylvania murder suspect, 19, said that she has killed more than 20 people across the country, AP reported.

In an interview with the Daily Item in Sunbury, Pa., 19-year-old Miranda Barbour said she wants to plead guilty to killing Troy LeFerrara in November.

Asked Friday night how many people she had killed, Miranda Barbour said through a jailhouse phone: “When I hit 22, I stopped counting.” The whole interview was published Saturday night (https://bit.ly/1gN81z3).

She also said that the killings were part of her involvement in a satanic cult.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Barbour and her husband, 22-year-old Elytte Barbour.

Police allege in court papers that Elytte Barbour told investigators they committed the crime because they wanted to kill someone together.

Miranda Barbour stated that she stabbed LaFerrara in the front seat of her car while her husband held a cord around his neck.

She said in the interview that she doesn't want to get out of jail and that she would kill again if she were released.

She claims she joined a satanic cult in Alaska when she was 13 before moving to North Carolina.
