Two corpses, $14,000 and a plot to assassinate Trump: US teen’s dark plan began with murdering his own parents

17-year-old Nikita Casap allegedly killed his parents so that he could ‘fund’ his plan to assassinate US President Donald Trump.

A high school student from Wisconsin allegedly killed his parents so that he could ‘fund’ his plan to assassinate US President Donald Trump, said FBI as per newly unsealed court documents. 17-year-old Nikita Casap has been arrested for killing his mother Tatiana Casap and his stepfather Donald Mayer, and faces nine felony charges, including two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of hiding a corpse in Wisconsin.

Authorities allege the teenager fatally shot them at their home outside Milwaukee in February and lived with the decomposing bodies for weeks before fleeing with $14,000 cash, passports and the family dog. He was arrested last month in Kansas. Federal authorities are considering additional charges related to conspiracy and the use of weapons of mass destruction.

According to the court documents, investigators found written documents and text messages by Nikita who called for the assassination of President Trump and overthrowing the US government.

Federal authorities accuse Casap of planning his parents' murders, buying a drone and explosives, and sharing his plans with others, including a Russian speaker. His intentions are detailed in a three-page antisemitic manifesto praising Adolf Hitler. The warrant filed at the federal court in Milwaukee also contains excerpts of communications on TikTok and the Telegram messenger app.

"Casap appears to have written a manifest calling for the assassination of the President of the United States. He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States," the search warrant says. "The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carrying out his plan."

In court, prosecutors alleged Casap was in touch with a person who speaks Russian and shared a plan to flee to Ukraine. Authorities found him in Kansas with money, passports, a car and the family's dog.

Federal prosecutors alleged Casap's manifesto outlined his reasons for wanting to kill Trump and included ideas about how he would live in Ukraine.

Citing Casap's writings, the federal warrant said the teenager wanted to spur governmental collapse by "by getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president."

Phone and online messages seeking comment were left Sunday for Casap's public defender, Nicole Ostrowski. In court last month, she moved to dismiss some of the charges against her client, including theft, arguing that prosecutors had not laid out their case. She's also noted her client's age during court proceedings.

"He is young, he is still in high school," she said on March 12.

County authorities also charged Casap with hiding a corpse, theft and misappropriating identification to obtain money.

Officers found the bodies of Tatiana Casap and Mayer on February 28. Family members requested a well-being check after Mayer didn't report for work and Nikita Casap skipped school for about two weeks.

Authorities believe the parents were killed weeks earlier. Prosecutors said in court that the couple's bodies were so badly decomposed that they had to be identified through dental records.
