Burner Phone, Hidden Accounts, and a Murder-for-Hire Plot | New Orleans News

A burner phone bought the day before a staged crash became the key to unraveling a deadly conspiracy. Cornelius Garrison, a player in these orchestrated accidents and secretly an FBI informant, was murdered in a hit-for-hire plot. Prosecutors now charge disbarred attorney Sean Alfortish and alleged hitman Leon Parker with conspiring to kill Garrison to silence him. Financial sleuths exposed a labyrinth of shell accounts, hidden trusts, and suspicious cash flows — including $200K sent to Garrison over two years and massive ATM withdrawals days before the murder. Defense claims some cash came from gambling, but damning documents hint at forged signatures and illegal fund control attempts. The trial is far from over.
