A criminal complaint details the discovery of the deceased pair, Tatiana Casap and Donald Mayer, in their home on February 28, after the son had been absent from school for two weeks. Mayer had sustained a gunshot wound to the head, and Ms. Casap suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Upon investigation, police found the teenager driving Mayer's car in Kansas, which contained a firearm, credit cards, and a significant amount of cash.
Search warrants have uncovered writings expressing white supremacist ideologies and plans to assassinate Trump, indicating that familial murder was motivated by a need for financial and logistical independence to pursue these violent ambitions. Furthermore, the suspect allegedly sought to communicate with individuals in Russia about his plans while also acquiring equipment like drones and explosives.
Casap had a preliminary court hearing on April 9, where he did not enter a plea. His formal arraignment is scheduled for May 7, with bond set at $1 million. The investigation into this shocking case continues, raising concerns about domestic extremism and youth radicalization in the United States.
