Santa Barbara surf school owner arrested on suspicion of killing his two toddlers in Rosarito

The Baja California Attorney General said U.S. border officers arrested the owner of Lovewater Surf Co. after the bodies of his children, aged 1 and 3, were found stabbed to death

ROSARITO, BAJA CALIFORNIA — U.S. border authorities arrested the founder of a Santa Barbara surfing school on suspicion of killing his two young children in Mexico, the Baja California State Attorney General announced Tuesday.

Border agents arrested a 40-year-old U.S. citizen, identified as Matthew Taylor, as he tried to cross from Tijuana into the U.S. at the San Ysidro Port of Entry Monday, according to Baja California officials. Authorities said he runs the Lovewater Surf Co., a surfing school based in Santa Barbara.

According to his Facebook and Instagram accounts, the school founder’s full name is Matthew Taylor Coleman.

Baja California prosecutor Hiram Sánchez Zamora said the man traveled to Rosarito, which is about a 30-minute drive south of Tijuana, and checked into a City Express hotel on Saturday with his 1-year-old son and his 3-year-old daughter.

"He allegedly told investigators that he "believed his children were going to grow into monsters, so he had to kill them," the complaint stated. He allegedly said he was "enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories" and believed his wife passed "serpent DNA" on to his children, according to the complaint."
