WATERLOO — Chris Coleman sent his lover in Florida a text message saying he "missed her" and "loved her" on the day of his slain wife and sons' funeral, according to search warrants made public on Thursday.

The documents say the messages were sent to girlfriend Tara Lintz on her mother's cell phone, which Lintz was using because her phone had already been taken by police.

In addition, the documents state that a latex glove found lying on the side of Interstate 255 near the Jefferson Barracks Bridge had remnants of red spray paint. Police say obscene messages were spray-painted in red on the walls of the family's Columbia, Ill., home. In the upstairs bedrooms, Coleman's wife, Sheri, 31, and sons Garett, 11, and Gavin, 9, were found strangled on May 5.

Coleman told police he left the home around 5:45 a.m. that day to work out. He later called police, asking them to check on his family because he could not reach them by phone. Police say his cell phone records indicate he began calling his house within minutes of leaving the house.

Investigators went to Joyce Meyer Ministries, where Coleman worked as head of security, and found a box of gloves similar to the one found on the side of the highway, the documents say. The box of gloves was found in the security manager's office, according to the documents.

Coleman resigned from the security job after the Post-Dispatch revealed his affair with Lintz a week after the murders. Police sources told the Post-Dispatch that Coleman met Lintz in Hawaii and Arizona while he was working for the ministry.

Lintz told investigators she last had contact with Coleman on May 9, the documents state. Investigators say they can't verify that because Lintz told them she lost her mother's cell phone on June 3 while at Busch Gardens in Florida.

Coleman called Lintz on the phone a few days after the murder — and while she was being interviewed by police. The documents say Coleman asked Lintz if the police were there, and then told her the "police were looking for a motive."

Coleman, 32, was charged a few weeks later with three counts of first-degree murder. Authorities allege he sent anonymous threats to his house shortly after he began a sexual relationship with Lintz, a former high school friend of Sheri Coleman's.

An e-mail threat revealed in the warrants said: "If I can't get to Joyce, then I will get to someone close to her and if I can't get to him then I will kill his wife and kids. I know Joyce's schedule, so I know Chris' schedule. If Joyce doesn't quit preaching this (expletive deleted) then they will die. During the Houston conference, I will kill them all as they sleep. If I don't hit there, then I will kill them during the book tour or the trip to India. I know where he lives and I know they are alone."

Meyer held a conference in Houston on Nov. 20-22 at Lakewood Church, the megachurch led by popular televangelist Joel Osteen, according to a schedule posted on the ministry's website.

Coleman and Lintz began their affair in early November, according to the search warrants.

Sheri Coleman's family filed a wrongful death suit against Coleman in May. Joyce Meyer Ministries has promised to turn over Coleman's employment records, but only if they are shielded from the public. A hearing in the case is set for Monday.
