=== Background ===
John Cassetti was an infamous gangster and crime boss in the United States during the early to late 1920s or possibly even earlier. He grew an irreparable reputation because of his vicious and violent nature.
At an unknown date during the early to late 1920s, Cassetti broke into the home of Colonel John Armstrong and Sonia Armstrong to kidnap their three year old daughter, Daisy Armstrong. The operation was executed flawlessly as Cassetti successfully abducted the child without much hassle. Following the kidnapping, Cassetti demanded ransom from Sonia and John in exchange for the release of their daughter however despite paying the ransom, Daisy was murdered regardless as her body was discovered soon by her parents. This event would trigger a ripple effect as it would directly and indirectly affect the lives of countless people.
Shortly after the murder of Daisy, Cassetti fled the country with his ransom money, avoiding justice entirely. Because of his actions, Sonia, the mother of Daisy, goes into premature labour and both herself and the unborn baby pass away while the father, Colonel Armstrong, dies by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound because of the grief over the deaths of his wife and children.
