On October 8, 2020, the FBI announced the arrest of thirteen men who were allegedly “attempting to formulate a plan to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer” and “otherwise use violence to overthrow the state government.”
This event, dubbed the “Whitmer Fednapping Hoax” was astroturfed by every mainstream media outlet as proof that individuals they consider “far-right” are dangerous domestic terrorists.
None of these opinions by the media have been based in fact, and these men have lost their livelihoods, homes, relationships, and more because of a failed justice system. Even the two men who were acquitted of their charges (Brandon Caserta and Daniel Harris) have difficulty finding employment and moving past this obvious entrapment because neither the media nor the government is held accountable for their lies.
The FBI opened investigations on these men over the types of memes they shared on Facebook and their alleged discontent with the current political climate, including law enforcement.
The FBI then utilized its assets to fund, plan, and “attempt” to bring to fruition a plan to commit terrorist acts against state actors on domestic soil, and chose this group of men as the scapegoat for it. The FBI used at least twelve informants and two undercover agents (with unfettered access to taxpayer funds) to purchase alcohol, ammunition, vehicles, drugs, explosives, and more in order to frame these men for the felonies that the FBI themselves were committing.
The goal of this film is to expose the festering rot and corruption of the federal government’s police agencies, the media’s venomous bias, and show everyone who is willing to listen that they have no idea how bad things truly are.
We as a country need to make a change and start holding these people accountable – before it’s too late.
UPDATE 2 (10/30/23): We have completed traveling and interviews for the documentary and are now moving to the final stages of editing. This has been a tremendous undertaking that has spanned years of time and numerous trials at both the federal and state levels. When we first started working on this film we were focused on the federal case. As time went on, it became clear we had to cover both state cases as well. We got to cover the third and final trial against Eric Molitor and the Null Brothers and got to travel to Michigan to be there for the verdict, just as we were for the verdict of the retrial of Adam and Barry. The last three men were completely acquitted, bringing the total number of acquittals now to five from two different juries.
The last five men still wrongfully incarcerated are appealing their convictions and hopefully, these latest acquittals add more weight to their appeals.
UPDATE 1: Attempting to make real change and hold the three letter agencies accountable is inherently risky.
When we began working on this project, we had a general idea of what would be required to complete it, but due to the massive influx of new information, traveling will become cost-prohibitive at this rate. Not only that, but more interviews, data collection, checking, double checking, and triple checking the information we have, and vetting any potential new lead is stretching us thin.
We humbly ask for your support - to allow us to provide a voice for the voiceless and allow these men to tell their stories.

The documentary meticulously examines the case from the initial stages of the investigation, shedding light on the FBI's use of informants, undercover agents, and shameful tactics. Through in-depth interviews with those directly involved and expert analysis, "Kidnap and Kill" reveals how government agents, driven by financial incentives and self-imposed domestic terrorism quotas, may have manufactured the plot so they could then “foil” it.
