A child murdered his mother and stepfather at the family’s stunning $900,000 home because he thought it would help give him ‘clout’ to kill Donald Trump.
Nikita Casap, 17, was arrested in March after he allegedly killed his parents at their home in Waukesha, Wisconsin, then fled the state in their car.
Prosecutors said the teenager shot and killed mom Tatiana Casap, 35, and stepdad Donald Mayer, 51, on February 11 before fleeing the scene and leaving their bodies to decompose inside their home.
However, they were not discovered until police performed a welfare check at the family’s sprawling home on February 28.
Casap was pulled over by police conducting a traffic stop two states over in Kansas that same day with a gun on the passenger side floor.
As part of the investigation, a federal search warrant obtained by WDJT revealed the teen had extremists materials on his devices including a manifesto that included assassinating Trump.
‘[Police] reviewed Casap’s phone and saw images and communications that referenced a self-described manifesto regarding assassinating the president, making bombs and terrorist attacks,’ court documents said.
‘The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carrying out his plan.’

Investigators found material on his phone regarding an extremist neo-Nazi group called ‘The Order of Nine Angles.’
His alleged writings shows images of Adolf Hitler with the following text: ‘HAIL HITLER HAIL THE WHITE RACE HAIL VICTORY,’ according to court documents.
Casap allegedly called for the assassination of Trump to incite chaos and ‘save the white race’ from ‘Jewish controlled’ politicians.
Investigators also said they found information on his devices about drone attacks details about purchasing weapons.
‘He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the Unites States,’ the document said.
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 teen is charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of hiding a corpse, theft of movable property, theft involving special circumstances, unauthorized use of a vehicle and two counts of identity theft for financial gain, according to court records.
Authorities say the teenager had previously confided in a female classmate about ‘fantasizing’ not only about killing his parents but also about taking his own life.

Disturbing surveillance footage from the crime scene reportedly shows a camera focused on the body of the stepfather, which had been covered with blankets and pillows.
In the footage, Casap is seen entering the room to ‘keep candles lit’ and, at one point, looking directly into the camera and saying, ‘So you can see him there. I can literally see the rotten body there,’ as reported by Fox6.
According to the criminal complaint, officers found a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum firearm on the passenger side floorboard of the vehicle – matching the same type of gun his stepfather had recently purchased.
In addition, investigators discovered the victims’ driver’s licenses, unused ammunition for the gun and spent shell casings.
Authorities also uncovered Telegram messages leading up to the murders, in which Casap allegedly inquired to a Russian speaker, ‘…while in Ukraine, I’ll be able to live a normal life? Even when they find out I did it?’
Casap had reportedly been in contact with a man from Russia, who, according to authorities, was aware of Casap’s plans to flee the country with his parents’ passports, their car and the family dog.
Casap was in court on April 9 for a preliminary hearing on his state charges. He has not yet offered a plea and remains in custody on a $1 million bond. His next court appearance is for an arraignment on May 7
