Guy Banister, like Oswald, Ruby and Ferrie, were linked to a series of "strange deaths." One of those was Nicholas Chetta, the coroner who handled many of these cases and who died in the middle of the Garrison trial, which he had helped manipulate. Several people who worked for Banister, Hugh F. Ward, John Sullivan, Maurice Brooks Gatlin, David Ferrie, all ended up dead under suspicious circumstances. The intimidation of Jack Martin should also be considered strange.
