Killer Teen Speaks 6 Words Confessing to Parents’ Twisted Murders

Nikita Kasop's mother, Tatiana Kasop, and stepfather, Don Meyer, were found shot dead in their Waukesha, Wisconsin home. Police believe the murders occurred on February 11th, meaning Kasop lived with their bodies for nearly two weeks before a neighbor saw him leaving on February 23rd in his stepfather's car. Kasop, who did not have a driver's license, was later arrested in Kansas.

Police found Don and Tatiana's bodies on February 28th. Don's mother reported odd text messages from him. Kasop's high school reported his two-week absence. Police found Kasop's stepdad shot in the head and his mom shot dead in another room, both covered in blankets. Surveillance video from inside the home showed Kasop lighting candles around his stepdad's body and holding a phone up to it.

Investigators determined Kasop killed his parents to obtain financial means to assassinate the US president, overthrow the government, and commit multiple terrorist attacks. He planned to use the money to buy a drone for a terror attack.

Kasop's phone contained a three-page manifesto detailing plans to kill the President of the United States to create political revolution and 'save the white race from Jewish controlled politicians,' ending with images and words praising Adolf Hitler. He also discussed buying a drone with a dropping mechanism for $1,200-$1,500 and an IED.

Kasop was deeply involved in online extremist communities, particularly those associated with the 'Order of the Nine Angles' (O9A), a neo-Nazi, racially motivated extremist group advocating violence and terrorism to overthrow governments.

The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office found disturbing Russian conversations on Kasop's phone via TikTok and Telegram. The FBI confirmed Kasop had material related to O9A, and under the username 'accelerationist' on Telegram, he discussed terror attacks and spreading his manifesto. He also mentioned the FBI had visited his family in November 2023 regarding his ideology.

Law enforcement built a strong case based on physical evidence, digital communications, and Kasop's flight path, which indicated a clear intent to escape and continue his plot.

Police found the murder weapon, a .357 Magnum, in Don Meyer's car. Kasop was arrested with a 'pride open safe,' women's jewelry, $14,000 in cash, and banking documents. Phone pings tracked his movement across states, and he reportedly stopped at a Bitcoin vending machine. Online orders from a Ukrainian phone number on Telegram provided him with coordinates to drive west, with Kasop asking about hiding and being moved to Ukraine.

Kasop pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, accepting mandatory life sentences. This decision spared the victims' families the trauma of a public trial.

Kasop, shaking, confirmed his intentional actions in court. Prosecutor Mark Weaver noted that both charges carry mandatory life sentences, likely run concurrently. While federal charges for the terror plot are possible under the dual sovereign theory, they are unlikely given the severity of the state punishment.
