Newlywed couple found murder victim on Craigslist, police say

Miranda K. Barbour is led to a district judge's office on Tuesday.
SUNBURY, Pa. -- A couple married for just three weeks lured a man to his
death with a Craigslist ad because they wanted to kill someone together,
police said.
Elytte Barbour told officers before his arrest Friday night that he and his
wife, Miranda, had planned to kill before, but their plans never worked out
until last month when Troy LaFerrara responded to an online posting that
promised companionship in return for money, authorities said.
Elytte Barbour told investigators "that they committed the murder because
they just wanted to murder someone together," police said in the affidavit.
Elytte Barbour, 22, and Miranda Barbour, 18, face criminal homicide charges
in LaFerrara's death. His body was found Nov. 12 in an alley in Sunbury, a
small city about 100 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The couple had
recently moved to nearby Selinsgrove from Dunn, N.C.
Sunbury's police chief, Steve Mazzeo, said Saturday he did not want to
comment on the case or the couple's motives since it was still an active
investigation.

Elyett Barbour is escorted by police on Friday in Sunbury, Pa.
According to Sunbury police, Elytte Barbour told investigators he hid under
a blanket in the backseat of the couple's SUV as his wife picked up
LaFerrara at a mall Nov. 11. He told police that, on his wife's signal, he
wrapped a cord around LaFerrara's neck, restraining him while Miranda
Barbour stabbed him.
The 42-year-old Port Trevorton man was stabbed about 20 times, police said.
Miranda Barbour was charged Tuesday, a day after police first contacted her.
She initially denied knowing LaFerrara, but her story evolved as
investigators gathered evidence, including the discovery that the last call
received by the victim's cellphone was made from her number, according to an
affidavit in her case.
That affidavit said Miranda Barbour acknowledged meeting the victim in
Selinsgrove and driving with him to Sunbury, where they parked. She said
LaFerrara groped her and she took a knife from between the front seats and
stabbed him after he put his hand around her throat, according to the
affidavit.
Police said Miranda Barbour had told them she purchased cleaning supplies at
a department store after stabbing LaFerrara, then picked up her husband and
took him to a strip club for his birthday. On Friday, police said, Elytte
Barbour told them he was the one who had purchased the cleaning products, an
account investigators said was backed up by surveillance footage.
Following his wife's arrest, Elytte Barbour told The Daily Item of Sunbury
that Miranda Barbour, whom he married Oct. 22, regularly hired herself out
as a "companion" to men she met on various websites, a business venture he
said he supported because it didn't involve sexual contact.
Barbour said his wife made anywhere from $50 to $850 by meeting with men for
such activities as having dinner together or walking around a mall. The ads
she placed on websites including Craigslist all said upfront that sex was
not part of the deal, he said.
"She is not a prostitute," he said. "What she does is meet men who have
broken marriages or have no one in their lives, and she meets with them and
has delightful conversation."
Elytte Barbour didn't have an attorney at his arraignment Friday night.
Telephone messages left for his wife's public defenders Saturday were not
immediately returned.
Investigators also plan to look into the death of a man with whom Miranda
Barbour had a 1-year-old child, Mazzeo said, but he would not say if there
is a suspicion of foul play.
