A shocking incident has emerged from Wisconsin, where a high school student, Nikita Casap, aged 17, has been charged with the brutal murder of his parents. According to the FBI, this tragic event is part of a larger plot that allegedly aimed to assassinate former US President Donald Trump. The bodies of Casap's mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51, were discovered in their home on February 28, raising serious concerns about the teenager's motives and mental state.
The investigation began when local officials visited the family’s residence in Waukesha, near Milwaukee, after the teenager failed to attend school for two weeks. According to a criminal complaint, Mr. Mayer suffered a gunshot wound to the head, while Ms. Casap was found with multiple gunshot wounds, believed to have occurred around February 11. The findings prompted a thorough investigation, leading to charges against Nikita Casap for first-degree intentional homicide and seven additional felony counts, including hiding a corpse and identity theft.
Newly unsealed search warrants reveal disturbing details about the suspect's affiliations. Investigators discovered that Casap's phone contained material linked to a neo-Nazi group known as the Order of Nine Angles, alongside writings expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler. Furthermore, the court documents indicate that the accused harbored antisemitic beliefs and outlined plans to assassinate Trump as part of a broader scheme to overthrow the US government.
The investigation took a crucial turn when authorities pulled over Casap in Kansas while he was driving a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas that belonged to Mayer. Inside the vehicle, police found Mr. Mayer's Smith & Wesson .357 pistol, multiple credit cards belonging to the couple, valuable jewelry, a pried-open safe, and a staggering $14,000 in cash, much of which was hidden inside a Bible.
In writings uncovered by investigators, Casap articulated his white supremacist beliefs and detailed plans for Trump's assassination as a catalyst for a political revolution. The alleged murders appear to have been a calculated move to gain financial resources and independence necessary to execute his violent agenda. Furthermore, authorities have revealed that Casap was in communication with individuals in Russia about his plans to kill his parents.
Reports indicate that the teenager had invested in a drone and explosives for a potential attack and even contemplated escaping to Ukraine. He was reportedly in contact with others regarding his intentions to assassinate Trump and initiate a government overthrow in the United States.
Nikita Casap had a preliminary court hearing on April 9 but has not yet entered a plea regarding the charges against him. He is scheduled for an arraignment on May 7, where he will formally face the charges. Currently, he is being held on a substantial bond of $1 million (£764,000), as the community grapples with the implications of this harrowing case.
