Police arrested a Texas man this week for attempting to rape, murder, and cannibalize the minor child. According to an affidavit filed in Shelby County, Texas and obtained by KTRE, police arrested Nathan Barter, 21, following an undercover investigation. Barter exchanged messages with a secret agent on the dark web. Through the exchanges, Barter crafted a plan to murder, rape, and then eat the girl following her death.
In the affidavit, police say that Barter authored a message on the dark web. Barter’s post said he wanted to commit necrophilia and cannibalism. He asked anyone interested in helping him commit the crime to contact him. The post included two encrypted emails where individuals could reach him.
A special agent from the Texas Department of Public Safety saw the post and responded to Barter. The agent was working undercover at the time. In the message to Barter, the agent offered him his young daughter for the crime.
Barter replied to the agent, “Nice! I’m in East Texas. How old is your daughter? Can we kill her?” He then went on to describe what he wanted to do to the child.
Over a few days, the agent and Barter exchanged several emails arranging the crime. The two agreed to meet for a “hiking trip.” Instead of hiking, Barter planned to take the girl to a nearby motel to murder, rape, and cannibalize the child.
As if the crime wasn’t disturbing enough, Barter took great lengths to execute the crime. He told the agent to buy a burner phone and new clothes to wear after the murder. Following the killing, he instructed the agent to return home to Florida and report his daughter as a runaway.
Police issued a subpoena for the IP address of Barter’s username to determine his identity. Once the police had the IP address, they contacted the service provider. Through the investigation, they linked the IP address to Barter.
Barter and the agent planned to meet for the crime on October 19th. On the 19th, police arrested Barter while he was on his way to meet the agent. Barter had a knife and plastic trash bag with him. In previous emails with the agent, he told him he would bring these items.
When officers arrested Barter, Barter admitted to the being the person in the email communications. Authorities charged Barter with criminal solicitation, criminal attempt: capital murder, conspiracy to commit capital murder, and criminal attempt: sexual performance of a child. All four of the charges are felonies.
20 years in federal prison.
