For the last 16 years, the notorious Boston mob boss was a ghost.
Attention!
No need to get tough.
Goodbye, Dr. Farb.
You may have been a crummy dentist, but you were a nice fella.
Need a little grass?
No, thanks.
So, the strong message is
that law enforcement will continue the effort until we get him.
And while his whereabouts are a mystery,
Whitey Bulger's victims have been turning up all over Boston.
Whitey Bulger, a known master of disguise,
has not been seen in six years.
The trail is cold, even though there's a one million dollar reward out
for information leading to his arrest.
We begin with a bombshell arrest...
After spending 16 years on the run,
the FBI has caught Boston mob boss...
James "Whitey" Bulger
is captured in a Santa Monica apartment house,
ending a worldwide manhunt that spanned 16 years.
Within 24 hours, authorities lured Bulger outside
and arrested him.
And confiscated nearly 30 guns
and hundreds of thousands of dollars stashed in the apartment.
We have captured one of the FBI's ten most wanted fugitives.
A man notorious in Boston and around the world.
