The phrase scrawled on the fax were the last words of Joseph Smith, a distress call. Were they Mormons?

"Oh lord, my God, is there no hope for a widow's son?" were the words scrawled on the fax he sent to the TV station. They also had 5 children very quickly, and Mormons believe in having large families in the afterlife. I'm trying to make sense of why they did this, and this is what I can come up with, but I haven't found any reporting on whether they really were Mormons.

Apparently that phrase is also a Da Vinci Code reference. Lupoe's actions were calculated but erratic...who knows what all he had going through his head before doing what he did? But I haven't heard anything about him actually being of the Mormon faith...he probably just thought that line sounded appropriately dramatic.
