He escaped on July 8, 2019, but was captured again and forced into a minivan where he was beaten again, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Casey’s death was allegedly the result of the incident.
Another suspect reportedly made ransom demands from Casey’s family.

All five suspects are charged with conspiring to kidnap Casey and could face up to life in prison.
