A Wisconsin teenager plans to change his plea to guilty in the murders of his mother and stepfather nearly a year ago.
A plea deal would see other charges against 18-year-old Nikita Casap dismissed, mother, WISN reported.
Donald Mayer, 51, and Tatiana Casap, 35, were found dead in their Village of Waukesha home on February 28 when family members requested a welfare check because they hadn’t heard from the family in about two weeks, as CrimeOnline reported.
Nikita Casap was taken into custody in Kansas that same day after police tracked the GPS tracker on his father’s vehicle. He was initially charged with operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent and theft of movable property, but additional charges were filed when he was brought back to Wisconsin.
Investigators soon learned that he had planned the murders to get money to carry out a plot to “overthrow the government of the United States and assassinate President Trump,” as outlined in a manifesto entitled “Accelerate the Collapse,” Law&Crime reported. The manifesto outlined “a political revolution in the United States” to “save the white race” from “Jewish controlled” politicians. Casap was reportedly speaking with a Russian national on the app Telegram to further the plot.
If his plea deal is accepted, Casap faces up to life in prison without the possibility of extended supervision, WISN said. The charges that would be dropped are hiding a corpse, misappropriating ID information to obtain money, two theft charges, taking and driving a vehicle without consent, and intimidating a witness.
The plea hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
