Using the names “Don Marco”, “Mark Lassman” and “Mark Francis”, Cassman fled the US with a wife and 10 kids and was arrested two years later by the FBI in Antigua Guatemala.
Jeffrey Lynn Cassman had done a stint in the Air Force, twice run for the Tennessee House of Representatives and lost, boasted he was a member of Opus Dei, only did Mass in Latin and bragged about his fake master’s degree in theology.
His wife dropped another kid in Guatemala, so Cassman decided that he would use it as an anchor baby, convinced that Guatemalan authorities loved him and his children so much, that they would defend him from any legal problems he had in the US.
Not counting on the greed and treachery of some of his local friends, he was betrayed for the princely sum USD $1 thousand dollars, once his “Most Wanted” poster was discovered on line by someone else, whilst checking their own fugitive status.
Following Cassman’s arrest, Antigua Guatemala burst spontaneously into celebration. Bars and Pubs offered “Don Marco” drinks at special happy hour prices, short order cooks created “Don Marco” hot dogs and burgers, others printed “Don Marco” T-shirts with demeaning slogans and sold them at inflated prices.
The cheapskates held drunken street parties and the snobs held garden and private dinner parties, whilst the Guatemalan locals went almost mental, unable to contain their joy at another Gringo being caught and reinforcing all their prejudices.
