Guy Banister

William Guy Banister (March 7, 1901 – June 6, 1964) was a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent, an assistant superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department, and later a private investigator and anti-communist activist. After his death, he was accused by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison of involvement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In the late 1970s, the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) investigated Banister as part of its inquiry into a possible New Orleans connection to the JFK assassination.
