David Ferrie
In the early 1960s, David Ferrie became involved with Guy Banister, former Special Agent In Charge (SAC) of the Chicago office of the FBI, right-wing political activist, segregationist, and private investigator. Ferrie also worked with Banister's associate, Sergio Arcacha Smith, an anti-Castro Cuban exile. In early 1962, both Banister and Arcacha Smith maintained offices in the Newman Building at the corner address of 544 Camp Street / 531 Lafayette Street, New Orleans. Ferrie was often seen at Banister's office.
Ferrie claimed to be a liberal on civil rights issues, but he was "rabidly anti-Communist," often accusing previous U.S. Presidential administrations of "sell-outs" to communism. According to the House Select Committee on Assassinations, Ferrie "...found an outlet for his political fanaticism in the anti-Castro movement."
Ferrie was Garrison's chief suspect in the murder of President Kennedy. However, Ferrie died less than a week after the New Orleans States-Item newspaper broke the story of Garrison's investigation.
