Yeah. And again, we'll see what comes of this case. But like you said, a community, a military community in this part of the state that was just absolutely shocked to see one of their own disposed of in this way, regardless of who the killer is. We'll see how this trial plays out. Elena, thank you so much.

Now, let's check in on the other big true crime stories of the week. First up, a Wisconsin teen allegedly killed his parents as part of a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump and overthrow the government, according to a recently unsealed federal warrant. Nikita Kasap, 17, was arrested in March and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of hiding a corpse.

Nikita Kasap, 17, was arrested in March and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of hiding a corpse.

Authorities claim Kasap's plan was to get money for his assassination plot and that he fatally shot his parents at their home outside Milwaukee in February. He allegedly lived with the decomposing bodies for weeks before fleeing with $14,000 cash, passports, and the family dog. He's in custody on a $1 million bond and has not yet offered a plea.

Next up, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a man has been charged with attempted murder, terrorism, and arson, along with other charges, after authorities say he used a pair of Molotov cocktails to light the governor's residence on fire. Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were actually awoken and rushed to safety after all this.

Hours earlier, they had been celebrating Passover in the very room that was firebombed. Authorities say Cody Balmer, 30 years old, turned himself in and confessed that he would have beaten Shapiro with the small sledgehammer he used to break into the house if he had found him. No plea has been entered for Balmer, and he's been denied bail.

Shapiro delivered emotional remarks outside the damaged governor's mansion this week, saying, "...in this moment of darkness, we are choosing to see the light." Authorities are trying to determine a motive, but say the suspect had expressed animosity toward Democrats like Shapiro, but also toward Republicans like President Trump. The Trump administration has condemned the attack.

The suspects are alleged to have offered for sale white tigers, clouded leopards, for which they were asking $68,000, Eurasian lynxes, hyenas, black leopards, and pumas. The animals will be moved to a rescue and rehab center for exotic animals in eastern Spain. No plea there has been entered. Okay, that'll do it for this week's episode of The Crime Scene. Thank you so much for being with us.
