According to the affidavit of an FBI agent, during an interview with the FBI after his arrest last summer, Coleman, 40, told agents that while he was in Mexico — before he allegedly murdered his son Kaleo, 2, and daughter Roxy, 10 months — he had laid in bed “seeing all the pieces being decoded likeThe Matrix, and that he was Neo.”

Coleman also discussed time travel, teleportation, and that his two kids were “telling him about babies being placed in fireworks, food, and walls.” According to the affidavit, Coleman also said that his 2-year-old son had told him his wife and a family friend were abusing him and his sister, and that he eventually “saw the big picture that he had to kill his children to prevent them from becoming an alien species that would release carnage over the Earth.”

“Hi babe, miss you too. Things have been rough but starting to get some clarity as well. Still confused on a lot of things though and processing through them. So many crazy thoughts going through my head right now, hard to explain,” he wrote.

“Yeah, funny your getting some clarity through my grandmas old bibles. Wasn’t there 2? Anyways, was actually still thinking of burning them in case theres a chip in them or something,” the text continued. “Going to keep processing through everything and hope to get some answers. Hope all this craziness ends soon. Love you.”
In the months beforeColemanwas arrested for allegedlykilling his two children, the father of two spent an increasing amount of time online looking at conspiracy theory websites and message boards, afamily friend told PEOPLE.
“It was obvious that he was spending a lot of brainpower on it,” the friend, who has known Coleman since they were children, said. “He was constantly checking those sites on his phone. He spent hours each day just glued to his phone looking at that stuff.”
