A Wisconsin teen killed his parents to “obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary” to assassinate President Donald Trump, authorities allege in a recently released federal affidavit.
The FBI affidavit sheds new light on the case against Nikita Casap, 17, accused of killing his mother, Tatiana, 35, and stepfather Donald Mayer, 51, whose bodies were found in the family’s Waukesha home Feb. 28. Casap faces two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of hiding a corpse and theft among other charges in their deaths.
Authorities believe the couple was fatally shot more than two weeks before the gruesome discovery.
“The charges are a result of meticulous investigation efforts emphasizing our dedication to community safety and justice,” the Waukesha County Sheriff said in a statement announcing the murder charges two weeks ago. The statement asked community members to come forward with “any additional information relevant to this case.”
The newly released federal affadavit says there is probable cause to believe that crimes committed also include a presidential assassination attempt, conspiracy and use of weapons of mass destruction.
The affidavit says Mayer’s car was listed as stolen immediately after the bodies were found, and that Casap was arrested hours later during a traffic stop in Kansas. A gun, ammunition and $14,000 was among items found in the vehicle, the affidavit says.
The sheriff’s office obtained a search warrant for Casap’s phone and found information related to “The Order of Nine Angels,” an extremist neo-Nazi group. They also found text messages in Russian and a three-page document discussing assassination, bomb-making and terrorist attacks.
Casap had told a classmate he planned to kill his parents, according to the affidavit. Casap also told the classmate he was in contact with someone in Russia who was part of a plot to kill Trump and overthrow the U.S. government.
A three-page document the affidavit says was found on the phone said killing Trump would bring chaos to the nation.
“As to why, specifically Trump, I think it’s pretty obvious. By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos,” the document said.
The document accused Jewish people of promoting white genocide and degeneracy.
“Jewish occupied governments must fall,” one document found on the phone said, addin that the white race “cannot survive unless America collapses.”
“In sum,” the affidavit says, “Casap appears to have written a manifesto 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. And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack. The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carry out his plan.”
Casap, who remains in custody on $1 million, had a preliminary hearing April 9 on charges related to the death of his parents but did not enter a plea. He is scheduled for arraignment in May.
