• Carlos Marcello Carlos Marcello was the boss of the New Orleans crime family who was identified by the HSCA as having both the motive and means to arrange President Kennedy's assassination - he had threatened Kennedy according to FBI informants, was deported to Guatemala by Robert Kennedy in 1961, returned illegally, and was eventually convicted on racketeering charges in the FBI's BRILAB sting in 1981.
• Guy Banister Guy Banister was a former FBI Special Agent in Charge who ran a private detective agency in New Orleans at 531 Lafayette Street - the same building whose 544 Camp Street entrance was stamped on Lee Harvey Oswald's Fair Play for Cuba Committee leaflets in summer 1963, a coincidence that placed him at the intersection of Oswald's activities and the city's anti-Castro intelligence networks.
