Wisconsin Teen Faces New Evidence in Double Homicide Case Involving Parents

Prosecutors reveal disturbing video footage and international escape plans as Nikita Casap awaits preliminary hearing.

Nikita Casap, 17, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, in February 2025.
Prosecutors allege Casap lived with the decomposing bodies for nearly two weeks before fleeing the scene with cash, a firearm, and the family dog.
Newly uncovered video evidence shows Casap interacting with his stepfather's corpse and making comments about its decomposition.
Messages on Casap's phone suggest plans to flee to Ukraine with assistance from a Russian contact, raising concerns about his potential flight risk.
Casap remains in custody with bail set at $1 million, and his preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 9, 2025.
