A Texas man has been arrested for allegedly writing a post on the dark web seeking to commit necrophilia and cannibalism on a young girl.
Alexander Nathan Barter, 21, was booked in Shelby County, according to an affidavit which was obtained on Monday.
Barter allegedly made his intentions known to an undercover officer who was investigating him online, KTRE-TV reports.
The post written by Barter invites anyone willing to let him eat a young girl and then have sex with the corpse, according to authorities.
The post was discovered by an undercover agent working for the Texas Department of Public Safety
The agent reportedly responded to the post by offering up his young daughter.
‘Nice! I’m in East Texas. How old is your daughter? Can we kill her?’ Barter is alleged to have written.
Barter then provided graphic details of things he would like to do to the girl before and after she dies.
Barter and the undercover agent exchanged a series of emails in which they planned to meet along with the officer’s ‘daughter’.he plan was to go on a ‘father and daughter’ hiking trip.
Instead of going on the hike, the daughter would instead be driven to a hotel, where she was to be assaulted, killed, and then cannibalized, according to the plan.
Barter allegedly told the undercover agent to buy a burner phone and new clothes to wear after the murder.
He even told the agent to concoct an alibi by claiming that his daughter ran away from home again.
On October 15, Barter allegedly wrote: ‘I’m not going to change my mind about this. I really want to do this.’
Investigators said they were able to trace the dark web posting to Barter by subpoenaing subscriber information and IP logs.
