Investigators said the boy's parents were in a state of 'mental delusion' and believed they were receiving a revelation from God and continued extreme behavior.
A and her husband, Marcus Miller, 45, jumped into the lake together at around 1 a.m. on the 23rd, saying they had to complete their religious test.
After that, the two returned to the campsite, saying 'The test failed' However, Marcus returned and went deep into the lake, and was found dead the next day at around 6:30 a.m. Both the son and father were found to have died on the same day.
