Wieambilla shooting: American conspiracy theorist says he was in touch with Gareth and Stacey Train

An American conspiracy theorist has claimed he was in contact with cop-killing couple Gareth and Stacey Train before their ambush in Queensland on Monday – and had sent him an ominous warning before their bloody rampage.

The grey-haired online preacher, who wears a bull ring through his nose and sports huge ear lobe hoops, said the couple had given him a chilling final message before shooting dead two police officers and a neighbour. 

The middle-aged American referred to Stacey, 45, and Gareth Train, 47, by their online codenames which used their middle names, Daniel and Jane. 

‘Before all communication stopped between Daniel and I, the last words that Jane spoke to my wife and I were – and I quote – “where there is a corpse, the vultures will gather”,’ he claimed.

The video ends abruptly, but in an earlier video – which was deleted on Friday morning – the self-proclaimed preacher launched into a furious 14 minute ranting sermon about the death of the Trains.

He claimed to have been in constant contact with the couple in the lead up to the horror attack which killed Constables Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel McCrow, 29,  and neighbour Alan Dare, 58, on Monday.

And the man – who Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to name – praised their ‘virtuous violence’ for standing up against ‘a monster, a demonic entity.’  

‘They said no. Daniel and Jane did exactly what their Heavenly Father would have done in the same situation,’ he claimed.

‘The only language that evil ever respects, responds to, or understands is the language of virtuous violence.’

The grey-haired online preacher, who wears a bull ring through his nose and sports huge ear lobe hoops, said the couple had given him a chilling final message before shooting dead two police officers and a neighbour

He claimed police were trying to seize Gareth’s brother Nathaniel ‘because [he] was on the verge of revealing the extensive corruption which affected children.’

Nathaniel, 46, had been trying to raise a NAPLAN cheating scandal he claimed to have found at his school in Walgett, NSW, prior to Monday’s ambush.

The radical anti-vaxx crank added in his video: ‘Daniel and Jane are harassed and hunted because they would not give up a family member to that monster. 

‘That is why Daniel and Jane did what they had to do.’

The man – who is seen with a much younger woman sitting silently behind him and occasionally nodding in one clip – claimed police had no reason to believe Nathaniel was with Gareth and Stacey when they arrived to check.

However Nathaniel died alongside his brother and ex-wife after he was involved in the ambush and subsequent firefight with Queensland Police’s Special Response Team at the remote property in Wieambilla, 300km west of Brisbane.

‘To Daniel and Jane their lives would have been completely an utterly pointless, useless, worthless, empty, had they submitted to evil,’ said the preacher.

‘I am not sad. I am not even angry.  If what exudes from me seems to be anger or sorrow, it is not. 

‘It is respect as much as it is for rage against the monsters.’

He and a woman signed off the video with a silent salute to ‘Daniel and Jane’.

Daily Mail Australia has flagged the videos with Queensland Police. 

The disturbing claims come after haunting footage emerged of Stacey and Gareth Train ranting about ‘devils’ and ‘demons’, filmed shortly after shooting the two constables dead on their remote bush property. 

Stacey and Gareth Train posted a chilling YouTube video three hours before they were killed in the Wieambilla shootout

Footage posted to a now-deleted YouTube channel shows Gareth and his wife Stacey boasting about the cold-blooded killing.

The video of the couple huddled in darkness was uploaded at 7.39pm that evening, three hours after the couple and his brother Nathaniel shot the police officers dead. 

In the clip, seen and verified by Daily Mail Australia, Gareth Train said: ‘They came to kill us and we killed them’. 

He also refers to the cops as ‘devils and demons’ in the clip. 

Stacey Train then finished the video saying ‘we’ll see you when you get home’ and ‘love you, Don’. It is unclear who precisely they are referring to. 

Gareth’s brother, Nathaniel Train does not feature in the clip. The trio also killed their Good Samaritan neighbour Alan Dare, 59 earlier that evening. 

On the deleted YouTube channel, Gareth and Stacey Train again use the names Daniel and Jane.

Their channel only had six subscribers and 10 videos.

Just one of the clips had been viewed more than 50 times.

Another five minute video posted three hours before the siege began, a woman – seemingly Stacey – reads from an apocalyptic biblical book called ‘2 Esdras’.

The book doesn’t feature in modern editions of the Bible, and talks about a ‘future age’ which will one day replace the present world order – as well as justifying why God lets evil happen in the world. 

‘For of a city there shall be 10 left, and two of the field, which shall hide themselves in the thick groves, and in the clefts of the rocks,’ she says.

In another video posted the day before the fatal shooting re-posted on Friday, a woman believed to be Stacey revealed she has become recently estranged from her two adult children as she narrates a letter she has written to a fellow conspiracy theorist.

‘I know the pain of losing children. Recently, my husband and I lost both our adult children when they chose the world, rejecting us and the narrow path to take the wider road that their partners and friends are on,’ she said.

‘This is a pain that will only be healed in heaven.’

Another clip titled Bullyman shared a day before the siege features a robotic voice believed to be Gareth reading out a missing person’s report for this younger brother Nathaniel Train. 

It opens with the title screen from the television program Cops before showing a photo of Nathaniel shared by police when he was reported missing by NSW Police a week prior.

The voice then reads out the police missing persons report before making a bizarre rant with references to the younger Train brother.

‘I see there was no mention of this missing man being a whistleblower on high level corruption within the New South Wales education department,’ the voice said.

The video refers to ‘connections to the NSW Police organised crime syndicate and the fixated persons branch’ and an ASIO officer.

He also had a message for police as called out several individual officers from NSW and Queensland.

The disturbing videos emerged as Queensland Police announced the two slain constables will receive full police honours at a funeral service on Wednesday. 

A GoFundMe for the good Samaritan, Mr Dare, has raised more than $70,000 for his widow, Kerry.

Inside the deranged cache of videos cop killers uploaded before mass shooting 

A series of bizarre video clips have emerged featuring two of the three doomsday prepper cop killers discussing deranged theories about religion and death and narrating a bizarre handwritten letter.

The clips, believed to feature Gareth and his wife Stacey Train, were posted to a now-deleted YouTube account before the couple, and Gareth’s brother Nathaniel, shot dead two police officers and an innocent bystander in Wieambilla, west of Brisbane on Monday.

In one video a woman, believed to be Stacey, is heard narrating a handwritten letter where she offers another evangelical conspiracy theorist ‘safe refuge’ to stay at her property.

The other woman, a YouTuber known as ‘Deanna’, is understood to have had concerns American authorities were ‘coming for her children’. ‘If you Deanna, as a sister, were here in Australia … we would offer you a place of refuge on your arrival and share with your everything we have,’ she said. 

Other videos feature Stacey apparently reading out a lengthy apocalyptic biblical passage, as well as a missing person’s report for Nathaniel read out in a robotic voice.

It then refers to ‘connections to the NSW Police organised crime syndicate and the fixated persons branch’ and an ASIO officer posing as a journalist.

‘You wish to make this public by using my little brother,’ the video ends, before showing an image of a large knife and and axe on the table.

Another video, believed to feature the voice of Stacey Train, opens with a satanic picture of skulls with lightning bolts through them.  

In the eight-minute video, posted on Monday afternoon just three hours before the siege began, the woman reads from an apocalyptic biblical book called ‘2 Esdras’.

The book was removed from the Bible in the 1880s, and talks about a ‘future age’ which will one day replace the present world order – as well as justifying why God lets evil happen in the world.
