Also from the GH interview with Charles' sister was some information about the 'cult'/organization that Chad and Lori are allegedly involved in. The speculation of Charles' sister is that Chad was somehow involved with 'Julie Rowe' and had possibly even 'taken over' the organization/cult. The speculation of Charles' sister was vague but her information regarding person name, location and LDS affiliation turned up a good amount of information.
Charles' sister mentioned in the interview the name of 'Julie Rowe' and 'Kansas' and 'LDS' and said that she didn't know much of anything about this person as she and her husband are not LDS.
A basic google search turns up some interesting information on a 'Julie Rowe' from 'Kansas' who was LDS (it appears that this Julie Rowe might have been excommunicated from the LDS).

End-Times Visionary Julie Rowe Excommunicated
Quotes from above article:
Background
Julie Rowe first came to the public’s attention in 2014 with the publication of her first two books,
A Greater Tomorrow: My Journey Beyond the Veil and
The Time is Now. These books describe what she experienced and witnessed during a near-death experience in 2004.[1] Her first book, A Greater Tomorrow, was released in May 2014 and was wildly successful.
Publisher Chad Daybell said in 2016, “The first printing sold out within a month, and the eBook version smashed my book distributor’s all-time records.” The two decided she should follow up with a second book, The Time is Now, which would include “quotes from LDS prophets concerning the future, as well as answer many questions Julie had been asked on how to prepare spiritually and temporally for troubled times.” That book was released in November 2014 and proved to be just as popular as its predecessor.
Seagull Book, one of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ for-profit companies, loved Julie’s books. Daybell explained that Deseret Book had been burned on the whole near-death experiences topic with the controversial 2012 book
Visions of Glory: One Man’s Astonishing Account of the Last Days[2], but Seagull Book buyers had no such qualms. In 2015, Seagull contacted Daybell to increase advertisement space for Julie’s books. Daybell said,
I was elated, because the only books that receive that much space are typically written by General Authorities. The larger advertisement boosted sales even more. By August 2015, Julie’s books had been featured in 13 straight Seagull Book catalogs, which is almost unheard of.

But then the Church released an interior memo to Church Educational System instructors in late August, specifically calling out Julie’s first book, A Greater Tomorrow, as inappropriate for classroom use.
Although people assumed teachers were tempted to use Julie’s book for her end times predictions, Julie’s publisher later hypothesized that it was her visions of Old Testament events that were the real concern.
Well, the new seminary year was just underway, and the students were studying the Old Testament. As readers know, Julie spends several pages in “A Greater Tomorrow” describing what she saw concerning ancient prophets. Julie gives detailed accounts about Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark. Abraham and Isaac, and even Potiphar’s lustful wife that aren’t in the scriptures or in the seminary manuals. Undoubtedly many instructors had read the book during the previous year and were supplementing their lessons with these very interesting tidbits.
I still have never received any explanation from the Church about the internal memo, but that’s my assessment of why a “caution” was issued. Julie and I wholeheartedly agree with the Church’s stance that these accounts should not be shared in seminary or institute classes. Please note that Julie’s second book “The Time is Now” was not included in that statement, which lends credence to my Old Testament theory.

But the LDS church isn't as thrilled with Rowe's writings.
Church spokesman Doug Andersen released a follow-up statement to 2News Thursday about the warning to seminary and institute instructors.
"The internal memo does not constitute an official Church statement but serves as a routine reminder to teachers from Seminaries and Institutes of Religion of their responsibility to teach from the scriptures and church leaders," Andersen said. "People who read her books should recognize that they are personal accounts and do not necessarily reflect church doctrine."
Miller said the warning from the church concerns him, but he said he still subscribes to what Rowe has written.
"I believe for the most part what she writes will happen," he said.
Miller and other followers believe a stock market crash is imminent. Rowe herself has also hinted at big things happening this month.
"I feel that it's the beginning of the beginning for the righteous, and the beginning of the end for the unrighteous," Miller said.
Rowe, who lives in the Midwest, responded to the church's warning in the following statement to 2News:
"I agree that the curriculum for LDS church classes should only come from sources recognized by the LDS Church as being authoritative. My story is not intended to be authoritative nor to create any church doctrine. It is simply part of my personal journey that I have chosen to share in hopes that it can help people to prepare for the times we live in by increasing their faith in Christ and by looking to our prophet and church leaders for guidance."
On Thursday night, 2News embedded a YouTube video of Julie Rowe sharing her story, but as of Friday evening, the video had been removed by the user and is no longer on Rowe's website.
