'Whitey' Bulger arrested in Santa Monica

Wow. Always seemed like they'd never get him.

 

Osama...Whitey...D.B. Cooper next?

 

The D.B. Cooper case fascinates me immensely.

 

I half expect to see Hoffa and Amelia Earhart on Piers Morgan in the near future - only to be interrupted by breaking news of the solving of the Black Dahlia case.

And to think it was just a couple of years ago people were still wondering who Deep Throat really was.

 

Boston Globe all over this.

They must have, because the last reliabe tip they had was a former business associate who saw him London, almost a decade ago.

 

Not related, but my family and his have some history. I still can't believe he was caught.

 

Have always been fascinated with the Whitey Bulger story since I read Black Mass. Highly recommended if you want better insight into the whole story.

Now we get the hear the rest of the story. Bulger was an FBI informant. I don't think that it is a slam dunk that he will be convicted.

 

He'll never go on trial. FBI officials say he's in bad health, according to the story on boston.com.

 

Boy, that's convenient. I'm sure he has a pretty nasty cold.

 

And bad breath.

 

I'm sure The FBI would be happy if that were the case. Trial would prove to be a huge embarrassment to them.
