After the teen didn't show up for school for two weeks, police were asked to conduct a welfare check at his home, where they found the decomposing bodies of his parents underneath blankets. According to court documents obtained by Law&Crime, the teen sent texts from his stepfather's phone to make it appear as if he was still alive, but family members and friends described the texts as "weird" and uncharacteristic of Mayer. Police arrested Casap in Kansas after discovering the bodies. Investigators learned he stayed home with his parents' dead bodies for days before fleeing Wisconsin. Video surveillance caught him taking pictures and lighting candles around the bodies. Audio also picked up his voice saying, "So you can see him there. I can literally see the f—ing rotten body there." Authorities also learned that the teen had been communicating with someone from Russia through the Telegram messaging app and uncovered a plot to "overthrow the government of the United States and assassinate President Trump." Investigators unearthed a manifesto titled "Accelerate the Collapse," that included plans for a "political revolution in the United States" to "save the white race" from "Jewish-controlled" politicians. Authorities believe Casap killed his parents so that he could steal their money and passports to finance the plot and move to Ukraine. In one of the Telegram messages he sent to a Russian national, he asked " ...while in Ukraine, I'll be able to live a normal life? Even when it's found out I did it?" He remains in jail on a $1 million bond.
