Murder as a Means to Political Violence

Nikita Casap, a Wisconsin teenager, was arrested in March on charges of first-degree murder and hiding a corpse in a case that has now revealed disturbing political motives. The bodies of his stepfather, Donald Mayer, and mother, Tatiana Casap, were discovered on March 1st in their home. Federal authorities have since uncovered evidence suggesting the murders were part of a broader and more sinister plan targeting former President Donald Trump. 

According to court documents, Casap killed his parents to “obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary” to carry out his assassination plot against Trump. The teen faces additional charges including theft of property over $10,000 and misappropriation of identification to obtain money. After committing the murders, Casap allegedly lived with his parents’ corpses for nearly two weeks before fleeing with cash and a weapon. 

Neo-Nazi Connections and Extremist Ideologies

Investigators discovered troubling evidence on Casap’s phone linking him to what they described as a “network of individuals holding neo-Nazi racially motivated extremist views.” The group, identified as “The Order of Nine Angles,” has been characterized by the FBI as a “satanic cult” with anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, and anti-Western ideologies. Casap’s digital footprint included images of Adolf Hitler accompanied by neo-Nazi slogans. 

The manifesto recovered from Casap’s devices detailed his motivation for targeting the President. In his writings, he explained his reasoning: “As to why, specifically Trump, I think it’s obvious. By getting rid of the President and perhaps the Vice President, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos.” This document, along with other communications, revealed his intent to not only assassinate Trump but also to inspire further political violence and promote white supremacist ideologies.

Detailed Planning and Preparation

Federal authorities discovered that Casap had communicated with others via the encrypted messaging platform Telegram about his plans, which included using an “attack drone” equipped with explosives. He had allegedly purchased both a drone and explosive materials in preparation for the attack. In one concerning message to a collaborator, Casap wrote: “My parents don’t know lol, they would take my phone away if they did. Are you over 18? Cuz I’m not, thus they still have control.”

After the planned assassination attempt, Casap intended to flee to Ukraine to escape prosecution. He was ultimately apprehended in Kansas and returned to Waukesha County to face charges. The FBI had previously interviewed the Casap family regarding unrelated internet activity but found no evidence at that time to warrant further investigation. Now, federal prosecutors are pursuing serious charges including presidential assassination, use of weapons of mass destruction, and conspiracy. 

Legal Proceedings Underway

Casap currently faces a litany of state charges including intentional homicide, theft, operating a vehicle without consent, identity theft, and hiding a corpse. He remains in custody with a court arraignment scheduled for May 7th. The case has drawn national attention as federal authorities continue their investigation into both the teen’s actions and any potential accomplices who may have aided in planning the assassination attempt. 

This disturbing case highlights the dangerous intersection of extremist ideologies, family violence, and political radicalization. Law enforcement’s interception of this plot prevented what could have been a devastating attack on a former president and the nation’s democratic institutions. The investigation continues to uncover the full extent of Casap’s planning and any broader connections to extremist networks operating within the United States.
