A California man confessed to killing his two young children, allegedly telling an FBI investigator he thought they were "going to grow into monsters so he had to kill them," according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday.
Matthew Taylor Coleman, a 40-year-old Santa Barbara surfing school instructor, has been charged with foreign murder of US nationals after allegedly taking his 2-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter into Mexico and killing them, according to an affidavit filed as part of a federal criminal complaint and a statement from the US Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.
Stopped for questioning at the US-Mexico border, Coleman allegedly told investigators he shot the children with a spear fishing gun, then hid their bodies, the affidavit said.
Coleman spoke to authorities about being "enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories," including that he had visions that his wife "possessed serpent DNA and had passed it onto his children," according to the affidavit.
Coleman was detained at the border and transported to a local jail by authorities.
CNN has reached out to Coleman's lawyer but has not received a response. He was scheduled for an initial court appearance Wednesday in US District Court in Los Angeles, the US Attorney's Office said.

Man allegedly confesses to killing his kids, refers to QAnon conspiracies
My heart breaks for the 2 little babies. :((( Kids see parents as their everything…what a horrible betrayal of that trust. Dismantle this evil cult of QANON!!
@Joke Biden So democrats are Satan worshippers? Have any proof? Like actual proof?
@Joke Biden I’m not saying their not.
@T.J. Cunningham don’t you have to vote for trump to be a trumpet? Lmao. And no, the “switch” didn’t happen in the 50s and 60s lol! It happened well over 100 years ago. You can’t just pick a date that you like and claim it as truth. You gotta do a bit of research first
@T.J. Cunningham you don’t need proof once you turned on your brain and actually used it lol
Seriously are people that dumb?
@PrezO’Rourke funny, haven’t heard satanists shooting temples, churches or schools
“Very nice people” – Donald Trump
@Jin Lee so aside from the one, ALL 75 million are good people? I highly doubt that.
“Gata murder the kids to own the libs”
@Jin Lee Wrong. Four people have committed murder based on their Qanon beliefs.
One is a coincidence. Four is a pattern.
@Myriam Ickx They just mentioned another one. So 3 now. They’ll be more, sadly.
@GoddessRick aa
This is horrific. I can’t wrap my head around any of this.
Trump baby! QAnon is the saviors!!
@Harold Moore The first part is right. The second part – no.
Um this religious insanity been going on a long time and found home in the Republican party
End times, rapture, etc all right wing paranoid Fantasies ,
@Linda Scott Yup
Such a tragedy
Mike pillow disgraced, Rudy G reduced to Cameo. One-term 45 twice impeached. Slowly but surely, the most ridiculous evil of modern times is being dissolved. Will be very welcome news when we hear the end of this disgusting Q cult.
Now OANN and NewsMax being sued too.
@Nobody Knows good!
Anyone want to bet that once in Court they will claim their content is so crazy that no one in their right mind would believe anything they say? Just like how Fox responds to lawsuits.
Unfortunately, it will never end. Sadly, It’ll only evolve.
But QAnon wants to “protect the kids,” right?
Seriously, just lock these people up. They’re dangerously stupid.
4sho. BOOM
@Brandon Smith perfection
@Vote Your Conscience Did you not watch the video?
@SixFoot Ben you’ll understand once you lose someone close to you to those monsters
@ElderBishopPastorReverendDoctorEvangelistOssie Lee oh I have! But the people I know didn’t surprise me. Same people who think school shooting are fake so they can take our guns. I’m not trying to be insensitive. But I don’t think they were that smart to begin with. One thing that the Trump presidency and Qanon has done is shown us who are crazy friends and family are.
The US has a *seriously underestimated* issue with mental health
Edit: I’m an American from the Midwest btw
@Clint Singleton – You’re very emotional about sexual and gender identity. Why is that? Is it because of repressed desires? Or is it because the concept of gender fluidity is too complex for your brain to process?
Yea religion is spreading like cancer and make believers do 👿 things
@Cherry Martini they should probably delete you, again.
@Chris I think your wife is one of the most beautiful black women that I have ever seen… gorgeous!!!
@THEODORE NICKLAS and refused to fund community mental health services
So much for “Save the children”
Yup, they are the ones getting people killed including children.
Save the children from qanon
My lord those poor children! May they rest in peace, that “Father” needs to spend his life in prison. QAnon is no joke.
Qanon cult is evil
Karma has his address.
No prison, medical experiments. For example, will Elon Musk’s Starship land gently enough in the Pacific ocean to allow for survival of Humans ? Or can a Human survive in Antarctica in just a pair of Board Shorts and a surfboard.
@Mark Davis lmfao… I like this idea
If they can kill their own children whose to say they won’t start killing others because of their crazy beliefs, this is becoming scary especially when you have these crazies taking over the government
yes I am getting paranoid that they will start killing others not just their children ala Daybells
This is an important point. What do these people want to do with strangers who stand in their way? Im definitely standing in their way. I will fight back.
What are you talking about crazy beliefs? One Wacko dad?…. You don’t think that you’re beliefs on women lining up to kill their own babies off in record numbers are crazy?….. Why are all these democrats acting like they respect life all of a sudden no one disrespects life more than democrats… I’m sure there are some that do but majority make no bones about Killing babies and making make-up out of them or whatever that tribe does
Well, the Jan 6 terrorists were literally planning to shoot or hang any member of Congress they came across that day!
@Brandon Knott a puddle of cells isn’t a baby
So I guess qanon is all about saving the children, unless they have “Serpent DNA”. 🙄 they need to find the source of this crap and throw him in jail.
@Gordon Strong …Nice observation Mr.Strong ….Damn ur So close to having a cool name. I’d be pissed at dad for leaving and letting mom name me…Gorden… I’m willing to bet that your bed is made right now and you’re shirt is tucked in
Why haven’t they revealed who Q is? Why haven’t they hung the fucking traitor.
Or if they’ll have gay parents (many of the embryo adoption programs in the USA are run by extremists religious institutions that say their savings babies from being “murdered” but also refuse to give embryos to LGBTQ family’s or single people 🙄 they know there’s a over abundance of unused embryos in storage and only room for so many means the overflow is destroyed… so every embryo is a baby and deserves a chance at life, unless they’ll end up raised by gay people then they’re better off dead! The hypocritical thinking of these people 🙄 it’s your right to not were a mask you should have control over your own body, unless you’re a woman who needs a abortion then you have no control over your body and childbirth is a far cry more dangerous than the nonexistent mask risks 🤣 these people are extremely twisted they obviously can’t think in any rational manner
But abortion: no.
@Jav C somebody mad that we the people believe the truth go crawl back under your cnn rock
He was obviously also going to kill his wife as well.
I cannot imagine the horror and grief this woman must be feeling.
Rest in peace sweet babies.
She probably believes the same bullshit he does.
and RAGE!!!
Well now we just need the rest of these conspiracy believers to off them selves before they hurt the rest of us.
@SR FH could = should
Is this guy another Chris Watts?
No doubt with the help of DJT aka Jim Jones was the additional push. This is just sickening. May those babies rest in peace 🙏. Karma has his address.
💯 well said
Jay, well said, but I wish karma didn’t sell out to billionaires, TRUMP will never, ever, ever, see ne punishment 4 anything, believe me, I hope so, but I lost faith in punishment for wealthy scum years ago….sad thing is, in the last 150 years, I estimate less that 1200 people are responsible for 99% of all the world’s problems
In the mail, signed, sealed, delivered!
So he knew he had done wrong…yea he’s sane just a sadistic sob
Ikr? Using a freaking spear gun…GEEZ.
I think so too. I think he wanted revenge on his wife and relief from his financial burdens, so he pretended to be delusional and temporarily insane. The fact that he did this in Mexico reeks of calculation, even if it wasn’t a particularly smart one.
Sociopaths and psychopaths are different–the former are often _less_ intelligent than the rest of the population, while psychopaths are not. Sociopaths may be very skilled at acting like they think other people act, but they do not really understand how normal people think–in trying to fake a normal person’s reaction to temporary delusions and indoctrination he may have made mistakes that give away his real motivations.
I just hope the investigators get to the bottom of this, and I pray for that mother. He has condemned her to a fate worse than death.
Deep down he probably did it to hurt his ex-wife
He did this to his own kids for imagined serpent blood but supports a con man who says out loud that you knew he was a snake before electing him.
Trump and Qanon founder should held responsible for deaths
I wish America cared about terrorism.
Why can’t they find this “Q” person and hold them liable too?
I agree. I believe Donald Trump faked and misdated a badly written letter from JFK Jr. to himself on Larry King Live in 1999. A lot of Trumplicans believed JFK Jr. was still alive and had been a friend of Trump when it was all a Trump hoax. That was the origin of the whole JFK Jr. Will Return hoax, though.
His name is Watkins and he was on air at that inane Symposium. Fact.
They know who the Q guy is , he was a speaker at the my pillow guys cyber symposium, they all but said it was him .
Also, Watkins is a troll. Watch that docu series Q Into the Storm. Recommend it highly! Then you can see and believe that the Q movement is nothing but trash.
Stupidity NEVER ceases to amaze . Fucking sad fucking sad .
“Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” -Voltaire
@Lee Jones That’s what that guy just did.
@Ray Stanczak I gave up Catholicism for lent in 1989.
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
– will seem to rise from the dead
– will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope – will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
“Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations – bound as one, at its very core – will all take place at the same time.”

@micha gabo whatever you’re growing and smoking you should sell it to your freaks
This is absolutely heartbreaking.
“Enlightened” Isn’t the description I’d use for anyone who buys into Qanon”s absolute trash conspiracy theories.
Thanks Trump !! ” Qanon ” It”s seems they’re people who likes me a lot !!
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
let him suffer his stupidity, face the c-o-n-s-e-q-u-e-n-c-e-s..
Lock him up!
