What tragic events led to the deaths of Roxy and Kaleo Coleman?
Today, we are going to be discussing the devastating case of Roxy and Kaleo Coleman. Matthew Taylor Coleman had a wife of four years, Abby Coleman, and together they had two children, a two-year-old son, Kaleo, and a 10-month-old daughter, Roxy. The family lived in California, and Matthew was the owner and founder of Love Water, and a surfing school in Santa Barbara that offered private and group lessons to children and adults. The biography on the company's website described Matthew as a champion surfer and a youth mentor who enjoyed spearfishing and sailing. Parents whose children were taught by Matthew said that he was always known to be very patient and kind. He could relate well to the children that he taught and the kids loved him.
He was funny, always making dad jokes, and was a really great teacher. parents trusted him with their children. Some parents said that he had this natural gift for surfing and teaching others his skill. He was always in the water and he was always looking for that next wave. Others said that Matthew embodied what it was like to have this perfect life with wonderful children and a loving wife. Those who knew the couple said that they were deeply in love. Matthew did everything in his power to make Abby feel special and loved on anniversaries, birthdays, and other special occasions. He also doted over his children. He was constantly posting about how much he loved being a father to his two adorable children.
how much he loved them and how proud he was to call himself Abby's husband and Kaleo and Roxy's father. But that life would be cut short for the entire family and some people think that conspiracy theories are to blame. On August 7th, 2021, Abby and Matthew were packing up for a family camping trip that they were supposed to be leaving for that day. However, all of a sudden, Matthew abruptly decided to put their two kids in their Mercedes Sprinter van and he drove off with them. He wouldn't answer any of Abby's calls or text messages and she had no idea where he was planning on taking the children. Confused and very concerned, Abby called the police to report this. She told the authorities that the two weren't arguing or anything like that before he left, that he just suddenly up and left.
She was mostly concerned because he wouldn't answer her text messages and didn't know where they were going. She also was concerned because Matthew didn't put either of the kids in their car seats either. However, Abby told the police that she didn't necessarily think that her children were in danger. She didn't think that there was any chance that Matthew would want to harm the children. She thought that he would eventually return with the kids, so she didn't request any further action at that time. However, by the following day, Matthew still hadn't returned home with the kids. He wasn't responding to any of her messages or the attempts at contact that the other family members and the police were making.
So, by the afternoon of August 8th, police asked Abby if she could see Matthew's location on Find My iPhone, and she did. Matthew's location showed that he had actually left the country, and he was in Rosarito, Baja California in Mexico. At that point, police were notified of what Matthew and the children looked like, and they kept an eye out to see if and when Matthew would return back to the U.S. from Mexico. Using the Find My iPhone feature, police saw that Matthew was actually headed back to the U.S. on August 9th. It showed that he was by the San Ysidro point of entry, so police in Santa Barbara notified the police in San Diego of Matthew and requested that they do a welfare check upon his entry into the US.
However, by 1pm that day, when Matthew arrived at the port of entry, he was pulled over for inspection of the van.
