Surf School Owner Killed Kids After Being ‘Enlightened’ by QAnon: Feds
The owner of a Southern California surf school told investigators he stabbed his young children to death with a spearfishing gun because he believed the kids—aged 1 and 3—were “going to grow into monsters,” according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court.
Matthew Taylor Coleman, 40, was detained Tuesday when he attempted to re-enter the United States one day after the bodies of his children were found at a ranch near Rosarito in Baja California. He had taken them over the border to Mexico without telling his wife where he was going.
In an interview with FBI agents, Coleman “explained that he was enlightened by the QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories and was receiving visions and signs revealing that his wife...possessed serpent DNA and had passed it onto his children,” the complaint states. “Coleman said that he was saving the world from monsters.”
Agents then asked Coleman if he knew what he did was wrong. Coleman “stated that he knew it was wrong, but it was the only course of action that would save the world,” according to the complaint.
Hiram Sanchez, Baja California’s attorney general, told reporters that the 3-year-old boy was stabbed 12 times. The 1-year-old girl was stabbed 17 times. A blood-stained wooden stake was found at the scene, said Sanchez.
When Coleman was booked into the Santa Ana County Jail on Tuesday, an officer asked Coleman why he had a band-aid on his hand. He had cut himself while “hurting his children,” Coleman allegedly answered. Coleman’s wife never suspected her children were in any danger, according to the complaint.
Coleman and his wife, Abby, run the popular Lovewater Surf School in Santa Barbara. Sanchez said that concerns about Coleman’s whereabouts were raised over the weekend when Abby Coleman reported to Santa Barbara police that her husband and their two children missing.
Mexican authorities said they have video footage showing Coleman and the children checking into a Rosarito hotel on Saturday. The footage is then said to show the three leaving in the early hours of Monday before Coleman returns alone that morning to check out.
"b. M.Coleman explained that he was enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories and was receiving vision and signs revealing that his wife, A.C., possessed serpent DNA and had passed it onto his children. M. Coleman said that he was saving the worl from monsters."
That's about the most if what I'll post from the affidavit. The rest is difficult for me to read as a father. Needless to say, it's bad. Real bad.
This needs the obligatory 48-72 hrs for more info to surface, but if this isn't a FF and hit piece, then I don't know what would be.
Y'all know what to do with it from here. So, get to it.
His teeth don't fit the narrative.
This one is pretty sick. It's originally a Daily Beast article.
