Unhinged son who ‘decapitated his father and paraded his head’ in disturbing YouTube video was debt-ridden QAnon conspiracy theorist who wrote books including ‘The Second Messiah’ that he claimed is ‘loosely based on him’
The son suspected of beheading his father and showing off his head in a sick YouTube video was riddled with student debt, a committed conspiracy theorist and believed to be the “Second Messiah.”
Justin Mohn, 32, was arrested Tuesday evening around 9 p.m. in Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, on charges of murdering his father, Mike, 68.
In a 14-minute YouTube video, the deranged son railed about the federal government for “woke mobs,” migrants who have ruined the United States, and the hated “globalists and communists” before holding up the severed head.
Now MailOnline can reveal the extent of the delusions behind Mohn’s actions.
Records show Mohn moved back home to live in his parents’ $390,000 home with his brother Zachary, 35, and sister Stephanie, 38, after being fired from a job in Colorado because he had kicked open an office door.
He graduated from Penn State in 2014 with a degree in business management, but struggled to hold down a job in the decade that followed.
Instead, he has self-published eight books that claim to “just want to bring positive change to the world,” including “The Second Messiah,” which he said is “loosely based on him.”
Wrote and produced a number of Spotify songs about his debts, his struggles as a white man and the fact that his father was jealous of him and wouldn’t let him succeed.
His conspiracy theories reflect similar grievances to those of the QAnon movement, a far-right group founded in 2017.

He says one of his self-published books is ‘loosely based on him’
His books include ‘They Will Burn This Book’, ‘The Punishing’, ‘Poems I Wrote While Stoned’, ‘The Kingdom of Dark’, ‘The Pink’, ‘Dark Ages of the Future’ and ‘The Revolution Leader’s Survival Guide’.
His Amazon biography reads: “His life story is incredible and there may not be enough words to describe him, but through his art one can begin to understand his complexities and experiences.”
Mohn, a 2014 business management graduate of Penn State, has tried to blame others for his crippling debt through legal action.
He has tried four times to sue the federal government for allowing him to borrow money to go to college without telling him that he would have trouble finding work afterward because he is “an overeducated white male.”
The most recent of these claims was filed in 2023, but the judge dismissed it as having “no legal standing.”
In 2019, Mohn also sued Progressive Insurance after failing to advance in the company, which he said was because he was male.
There are a number of songs on Spotify that were produced and performed by Mohn, including “They Came For Justin Mohn,” “I Miss Lauren” and “Judge Kathy Toilet.”
In one song, he complained about the debts he owed and stated that the authorities wanted him to die.
It said: ‘This is a woman’s world. Only empower girls. Step on all men. Kill the rooster and praise the chicken.”

On a 2019 collection of songs called “Justin’s Stalkers,” Mohn had a song called “Mommunist the Communist” in which he complained about living at home and his mother telling him to pay off his debt.
He also sang that his father was jealous of him and did not want him to succeed.
“I am now officially the acting president of America under martial law,” was one of his beliefs, in addition to the fact that both the Democratic and Republican parties thought he would have been the best presidential candidate of 2020.
His conspiracy theories reflect similar grievances to those of the QAnon movement, a far-right group founded in 2017.
According to public records, Mohn moved to Colorado in 2015 but was forced to return to his hometown to live with his parents.
According to Levittownnow, he attended Sandburg Middle School and Neshaminy High School and graduated in 2010.
Middletown Township police were called to a home on Upper Orchard Drive by the victim’s wife around 7 p.m., the Bucks County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.
On YouTube, Mohn can be seen holding his father’s head up in a bloody plastic bag placed inside a piece of silver after declaring, “Violence is the only solution to the federal government’s betrayal.”
He says, “This is the head of Mike Mohn, a federal employee for over twenty years, and my father. He now spends eternity in hell as a traitor to his country.’
Mohn is listed as living there with his father; his mother Denice, 63; his brother Zachary, 35, and his sister Stephanie, 38.
It is believed that his father owned two businesses: a cleaning company and a literacy initiative. There is no evidence he is a federal employee.
