The Scarecast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this chilling episode of The Scarecast, we delve into the disturbing case of Miranda and Elytte Barbour, known as the "Craigslist Killers." In 2013, this newlywed couple, aged 19 and 22, lured 42-year-old Troy LaFerrara to his death through a Craigslist ad offering companionship.

We explore how the Barbours orchestrated their gruesome plan, with Miranda picking up LaFerrara while Elytte hid in the backseat. The couple's shocking act of violence - strangling and stabbing their victim over 20 times - sent shockwaves through Pennsylvania.

The episode covers the investigation that led to their swift arrest, Miranda's sensational claims of being a serial killer with 22 additional victims, and the skepticism these claims faced from authorities. We'll discuss the couple's traumatic backgrounds, their motives for this "thrill kill," and the legal proceedings that resulted in life sentences for both.

Join us as we unravel this tragic tale that serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers lurking in online interactions and the dark depths of human nature. The Barbour case raises unsettling questions about youth, violence, and the blurred lines between truth and attention-seeking in the digital age.

Back in 1966, Disneyland debuted their new attraction, It’s A Small World which boasted over 240 animatronics and an unforgettable soundtrack that surely would leave a tune running in your head for a long time. The ride was made for the kids, who would be overloaded with all these cute dolls singing to them as they ride in their little boats in amaze. But for some, these little dolls can become quite creepy. Almost as if the dolls have trapped souls in them, there have been eerie reports that even after the ride is shut down and closed, the dolls can still be heard singing in the dead of night. Have you experienced anything?
