A chilling tale unfolded in Waukesha, Wisconsin, revealing a young man’s descent into darkness and a plot that reached the highest levels of power. Eighteen-year-old Nikita Casap confessed to the unthinkable: the murder of his own mother and stepfather.
The horror didn’t end with the killings themselves. Casap’s motive, as investigators painstakingly uncovered, was far more disturbing than simple greed or rage. He harbored a chilling ambition – to assassinate President Donald Trump.
The plan, meticulously crafted in the shadows, centered on funding. Casap believed eliminating his parents would provide the financial means and freedom necessary to execute his deadly scheme. A federal search warrant detailed this disturbing connection between familial tragedy and political violence.
For weeks, the teen remained in the family home, living amongst the decomposing remains of his parents. He then vanished with his stepfather’s SUV, a substantial $14,000 in cash, jewelry, passports, a firearm, and even the family dog – a haunting image of a life upended and a plan taking shape.
His flight ended in Kansas, where a routine traffic stop brought him into custody on February 28th. But the arrest was only the beginning of unraveling the complex web of motivations behind the murders.
A deep dive into Casap’s digital life revealed a disturbing connection to a shadowy group known as “The Order of Nine Angles.” Investigators discovered material linked to the organization on his cell phone, painting a picture of radicalization and extremist ideology.
FBI documents describe The Order of Nine Angles as a satanic cult steeped in anti-Judaic, anti-Christian, and anti-Western beliefs. The group actively promotes chaos and violence, seemingly providing a warped justification for Casap’s actions.
The investigation revealed Casap wasn’t simply fantasizing. He had begun taking concrete steps toward a mass-casualty attack, purchasing a drone and explosives intended to be used as a weapon of mass destruction. The chilling details pointed to a carefully planned operation.
A recovered manifesto further illuminated the depth of his obsession. The document explicitly named both President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, framing their removal as a catalyst for widespread disruption and chaos. The intent was brutally clear.
The manifesto left no room for doubt: it was written “specifically for the attack that targets Trump,” solidifying investigators’ conclusion that the murders were inextricably linked to a larger, premeditated plot against the president and his administration.
Nikita Casap pleaded guilty to intentional homicide on January 8th, facing a mandatory life sentence for each count. His sentencing, scheduled for March 5th, marks a grim chapter in a case that exposed a terrifying intersection of familial betrayal, extremist ideology, and political violence.
