Boston Massachusetts, Suspicious Death of her Father. Was It Murder? The Boston we know today is in many ways different from the Boston of the 1970s. Organized Crime was Rampant in Boston, Massachusetts and the surrounding areas. There were prominent Italian Mob Organized Crime Gangs. Also Irish Organized Crime groups flourished and prospered. There were many accusations and subsequent arrests and convictions in local and state police during that time. There were also FBI Agents arrested and convicted for crimes while working with organized crime group informants. Ann tells the story and more as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, which is available as a free podcast on their website on platforms like Apple, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Ann Flynn Dickinson is our guest and tells the tale from her childhood all the way to her adult years of the mystery surrounding the death of her Father Owen Flynn. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Boston is a city with a storied history of resilience and rebellion and is no stranger to mysteries. From its cobblestone streets to its glittering skyline, the city holds secrets, and some stories never fade. One such enigma dates back to December 1972, when Owen Flynn, a West End bartender, vanished under suspicious circumstances. His case intertwines with the city's dark era of organized crime and has sparked renewed interest thanks to his determined daughter, Ann Flynn Dickinson. Look for more on the story in platforms like Medium and Newsbreak. A City Steeped in Organized Crime The Boston of the 1970s was a hotbed for organized crime. Italian mobsters and Irish gangs like the Winter Hill Gang ruled the streets, and corruption infiltrated law enforcement, even touching the FBI. This tumultuous backdrop framed Flynn's mysterious death, which some suspect was no accident. Boston Massachusetts, Suspicious Death of her Father. Was It Murder? The interview with here is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, which is available as a free podcast on their website on platforms like Apple, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Flynn disappeared on a frigid December evening, leaving his car abandoned on the Granite Avenue Bridge. Though initially presumed a suicide, the details raised eyebrows. The low elevation of the bridge and icy patches on the Neponset River made such a scenario improbable. The lack of evidence or a clear motive for suicide only deepened the mystery. A Daughter's Quest for Answers Ann Flynn Dickinson was just a child when her father went missing. Now an adult, she is determined to uncover the truth. "I knew something was wrong when my mother said he didn't come home," she recalls. Her father's death certificate listed the cause as "unknown," a frustratingly vague conclusion. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. In 1972, Flynn had just purchased a new car and a home, suggesting he had reasons to live. He was also a silent partner in a new bar, Downey and Judge, in Boston's West End. But borrowing $10,000, likely from dangerous sources, may have placed him in peril. Boston Massachusetts, Suspicious Death of her Father. Organized Crime's Shadow The timing of Flynn's disappearance coincided with a bloody gang war between James "Whitey" Bulger's Winter Hill Gang and the Mullen Gang. Bulger, who later became one of America's most notorious gangsters, was known for his brutal methods. Could Flynn have been a victim of gang violence? The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, which is available as a free podcast on their website on platforms like Apple, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. In her pursuit of the truth, Dickinson even wrote to Bulger while he was imprisoned. Surprisingly, he replied. While Bulger denied involvement, his letter hinted at other possibilities, including betrayal by business partners or mistaken identity. His chilling tone left more questions than answers. The Granite Avenue Bridge Discovery The most haunting piece of the puzzle remains Flynn's abandoned car on the Granite Avenue Bridge. Dickinson herself identified it while being driven to her aunt's home. The car, locked with the keys on the dashboard, was never thoroughly investigated. Police dismissed it as a "casual search," neglecting to dust for fingerprints or search for evidence. Boston Massachusetts, Suspicious Death of her Father. Platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify make these stories more accessible, allowing listeners to become informed and vigilant.  A month later, Flynn's body washed up on Carson Beach in South Boston. Officially, he was presumed drowned, but law enforcement and family members questioned this conclusion. Quincy Police Lt. Bob Gillan, a seasoned diver, dismissed the notion of suicide, stating, "It doesn't pass the sniff test." Echoes of Boston's Gangland Era Flynn's story resurfaced during Bulger's high-profile trial in 2013. Families of other victims approached law enforcement, wondering if their loved ones had also fallen prey to Bulger's gang. Flynn's case fit a pattern, abandoned vehicles, missing persons, and unsolved murders. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Bulger's letter to Dickinson acknowledged the brutal realities of gangland Boston, suggesting Flynn's death might have been orchestrated for insurance money or due to business disputes. Yet, he maintained his innocence regarding Flynn's demise. The Legacy of a Mystery Decades later, Flynn's death continues to captivate true crime enthusiasts and historians. His daughter's persistence has kept the story alive, highlighting the murky intersection of organized crime, corruption, and loss in 1970s Boston. Boston Massachusetts, Suspicious Death. The case has gained attention through books like Code Black by Bill Fleming and Joe Peters and podcasts on platforms like Spotify and Apple. Social media outlets like Facebook and Instagram also amplify the story, bringing it to a new generation. A City's Unanswered Questions Boston's history is riddled with tales of intrigue, but few are as personal as Owen Flynn's. His death is more than a cold case; it's a reflection of a city grappling with its identity during a turbulent time. For Ann Flynn Dickinson, the quest for answers remains a deeply personal journey. Boston Massachusetts, Suspicious Death of her Father. Was It Murder? As Boston moves forward, the shadows of its past linger. Was Flynn's death a tragic accident, a calculated murder, or something in between? The truth remains elusive, but the story of Owen Flynn ensures the question will not be forgotten.

Whitey Bulger, born James Joseph Bulger Jr. in 1929, was a notorious American gangster who led Boston's Winter Hill Gang, an Irish-American crime syndicate. Known for his ruthlessness, Bulger's criminal empire was marked by extortion, drug trafficking, and murder. His life was a blend of crime and cunning manipulation, as he became an FBI informant in the 1970s, providing information on his rivals while continuing to expand his own criminal operations with near impunity.Bulger managed to evade capture for over 16 years, becoming one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives before being arrested in 2011. He was later convicted of multiple crimes, including involvement in 11 murders, and sentenced to two life terms. Bulger was murdered in prison in 2018, a violent end to a life filled with crime and controversy. His story is a dark chapter in American organized crime, highlighting the complex and often corrupt relationship between criminals and law enforcement.(commercial at 7:37)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Today I got another very exclusive guest on the show. He was a member of one of Whitey Bulger's Winter Hill Gang crews. His name is Sean Scott Hicks. Not very many former members of this gang are sharing their stories. We discuss Sean's life as a criminal on the street. Sean shares his thoughts on the former members of the gang. Sean also talks about spending over 24 years of his life in prison and never becoming a government informant. He has got quite the redemption story!

In May of 1981, in the parking lot of Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a man named Johnny Martorano killed his 19th victim. His target was the millionaire businessman Roger Wheeler, owner of a company called Telex that employed 5,000 people in Tulsa alone. Wheeler had been successful his whole life, but when he delved into a mob-connected business, he didn't realize in time that the men he became involved with were more dangerous than the average business rival. A network of corrupt FBI agents and the infamous Winter Hill Gang, including their leader Whitey Bulger, got nervous when Wheeler asked too many questions, and set in motion a crime whose effects are still felt today—and it all happened on one of the most renowned golf courses in America.

The unabashed FBI corruption in Boston continues. John Connolly helped Whitey Bulger and his crew kill; Richard Castucci in '76, Brian Halloran '82 John Callahan '82. He also ran cover for the gang against the Massachusetts State Police and the DEA. The FBI's assistance allowed the Winter Hill Gang to surpass the local mafia in earning power and underworld prestige, killing gangsters and civilians along the way. How many citizens would be alive today if the FBI were actual cops? Probably enough to field a football team.

John, Whitey and Stevie Flemmi corral independent bookmakers and life was good on Winter Hill in Somerville, Ma. The crew soon turned to race fixing and the money poured in. Gerry Angelo had advised a burgeoning Winter Hill to avoid that exact race fixer, a degenerate gambler. Ignoring Gerry's advice would cost John Martorano sixteen years he spent on the lamb, avoiding the indictment. World Jai Alai was also a massive stream of revenue for the Hill, a sale of the business inspired an audit. The audit spurned at least three murders. John was captured in Florida and the end was near. Please share this episode?Boston Herald-https://www.bostonherald.com/tag/johnny-martorano/Hitman by Howie Carr-https://amzn.to/3pRoKAx

In the 60's John Martorano seemingly has the pulse of organized crime in Boston. He had a favorable relationship with the Mafia and is friends with two of the most feared men in Boston, Jimmy "The Bear" Flemmi and Joe "The Animal" Barboza. He was loan sharking and running an after hours club, but he was always chasing money. He was finessed by Stevie Flemmi into his first homicide, others followed and John's best "friend" Steve Flemmi told the FBI about all of it! Soon the "Winter Hill Gang" was formed, one of the most murderous organizations in Boston history.  Please share this episode!60 Minutes-https://bit.ly/3Oj8L7UHitman by Howie Carr-https://amzn.to/3pRoKAx

John comes of age during the Irish gang war and was soon a full time gangster. John was living the life, he was making money and his status in the underworld was rising. He mostly stayed neutral in the Irish war, but he was running with Joe "The Animal" Barboza and Jimmy "The Bear" Flemmi. These two were simply killing machines and that continued unabated. John committed his first of many murders at age twenty-four. He was fully manipulated by Stevie Flemmi into committing the homicide, Stevie was trying to protect the real murderer, his brother, Jimmy "The Bear" Flemmi.  This pattern continued through the decades.

Today we take a fascinating look into how Whitey Bulger rose to power in Boston's underworld in the 70's and 80's, with not only the FBI's protection, but also their direct help. No one (that we're aware of publicly, at least) benefitted more from the FBI's Top Echelon Informant Program than Irish-American gangster, Whitey Bulger.  Whitey rose through the ranks of Boston's organized crime scene thanks to a combination of cunning, ruthlessness, a little help from his politically connected brother, Billy, and a LOT of help from the FBI. Whitey's top informant status, and the degree to which he corrupted his handler, Special Agent John Connolly, allowed him to get away with murder after murder, and run one criminal racket after another with impunity. For nearly two decades the FBI protected the most dangerous man in Boston in order to take down other people who were far less threatening to the general public. Why?

John Martorano confessed to twenty murders, while working as a founding member of the Winter Hill Gang. John was familiar with violence, he came of age in an entirely different Boston, he worked downtown and his bar was the center of crime in Boston's underworld for years. John was an unlikely candidate for gangsterism, he had two caring parents, that were well off financially. John just liked the nightlife and the action. John Martorano never suspected that his partners were FBI and they were preparing to throw him under the bus, he had to move before, Steve Flemmi and Whitey Bulger could accomplish this last task.

“Theft is the act of taking another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.[1][2][3] The word theft is also used as a synonym or informal shorthand term for some crimes against property, such as larceny, robbery,[1] embezzlement, extortion, blackmail, or receiving stolen property.[2] In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny,[4][5] while in others, theft is defined more narrowly.[6] Someone who carries out an act of theft may be described as a "thief" (pl: thieves).[7]” “Burglary, also called breaking and entering (B&E)[1] and sometimes housebreaking,[2] is the act of illegally entering a building or other areas without permission, typically with the intention of committing a criminal offence. Usually that offence is theft, larceny, robbery, or murder, but most jurisdictions include others within the ambit of burglary. To commit burglary is to burgle,[3] a term back-formed from the word burglar, or to burglarize.[4][3]” I saw similar things: “The newest growth sectors for organized crime are identity theft and online extortion. These activities are troubling because they discourage consumers from using the Internet for e-commerce. E-commerce was supposed to level the playing ground between small and large businesses, but the growth of online organized crime is leading to the opposite effect; large businesses are able to afford more bandwidth (to resist denial-of-service attacks) and superior security. Furthermore, organized crime using the Internet is much harder to trace down for the police (even though they increasingly deploy cybercops) since most police forces and law enforcement agencies operate within a local or national jurisdiction while the Internet makes it easier for criminal organizations to operate across such boundaries without detection. In the past criminal organizations have naturally limited themselves by their need to expand, putting them in competition with each other. This competition, often leading to violence, uses valuable resources such as manpower (either killed or sent to prison), equipment and finances. In the United States, James "Whitey" Bulger, the Irish Mob boss of the Winter Hill Gang in Boston turned informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He used this position to eliminate competition and consolidate power within the city of Boston which led to the imprisonment of several senior organized crime figures including Gennaro Angiulo, underboss of the Patriarca crime family. Infighting sometimes occurs within an organization, such as the Castellamarese war of 1930–31 and the Boston Irish Mob Wars of the 1960s and 1970s. Today criminal organizations are increasingly working together, realizing that it is better to work in cooperation rather than in competition with each other (once again, consolidating power). This has led to the rise of global criminal organizations such as Mara Salvatrucha, 18th Street gang and Barrio Azteca. The American Mafia, in addition to having links with organized crime groups in Italy such as the Camorra, the 'Ndrangheta, Sacra Corona Unita and Sicilian Mafia, has at various times done business with the Irish Mob, Jewish-American organized crime, the Japanese Yakuza, Indian mafia, the Russian mafia, Thief in law and Post-Soviet Organized crime groups, the Chinese Triads, Chinese Tongs and Asian street gangs, Motorcycle Gangs and numerous White, Black and Hispanic prison and street gangs. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated that organized crime groups held $322 billion in assets in 2005.[197]” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

“All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous–manipulative interpersonal style.[9] Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[10] Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, an absence of morality, lack of emotion, and a higher level of self-interest.[11] Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits (CU),[12] and remorselessness.[13]” I had similar experiences in the DMV: “The newest growth sectors for organized crime are identity theft and online extortion.

E-commerce was supposed to level the playing ground between small and large businesses, but the growth of online organized crime is leading to the opposite effect; large businesses are able to afford more bandwidth (to resist denial-of-service attacks) and superior security. Furthermore, organized crime using the Internet is much harder to trace down for the police (even though they increasingly deploy cybercops) since most police forces and law enforcement agencies operate within a local or national jurisdiction while the Internet makes it easier for criminal organizations to operate across such boundaries without detection. In the past criminal organizations have naturally limited themselves by their need to expand, putting them in competition with each other. This competition, often leading to violence, uses valuable resources such as manpower (either killed or sent to prison), equipment and finances. In the United States, James "Whitey" Bulger, the Irish Mob boss of the Winter Hill Gang in Boston turned informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He used this position to eliminate competition and consolidate power within the city of Boston which led to the imprisonment of several senior organized crime figures including Gennaro Angiulo, underboss of the Patriarca crime family. Infighting sometimes occurs within an organization, such as the Castellamarese war of 1930–31 and the Boston Irish Mob Wars of the 1960s and 1970s. Today criminal organizations are increasingly working together, realizing that it is better to work in cooperation rather than in competition with each other (once again, consolidating power). This has led to the rise of global criminal organizations such as Mara Salvatrucha, 18th Street gang and Barrio Azteca. The American Mafia, in addition to having links with organized crime groups in Italy such as the Camorra, the 'Ndrangheta, Sacra Corona Unita and Sicilian Mafia, has at various times done business with the Irish Mob, Jewish-American organized crime, the Japanese Yakuza, Indian mafia, the Russian mafia, Thief in law and Post-Soviet Organized crime groups, the Chinese Triads, Chinese Tongs and Asian street gangs, Motorcycle Gangs and numerous White, Black and Hispanic prison and street gangs. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated that organized crime groups held $322 billion in assets in 2005.[197].” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Today we dig into the origins and the history of America's Irish Mob.  We begin centuries ago in Ireland, when a series of oppressive, discriminatory laws designed to break the backs of the Irish and leave them too powerless to rebel against British rule, followed by the Great Famine that was greatly intensified by these same laws, led to hundreds of thousands of Irish fleeing the Emerald Isle for America to avoid certain death. Impoverished and often malnourished, these new immigrants were met with an increasing amount of anti-Irish sentiment in the United States, and to overcome this, they ended up banding together and working with gangsters and politicians who would help them get jobs and food in exchange for votes. And thus, the Irish mob was born. Cue 150+ years of underworld violence! We cover SO much territory today. A good one for both the true crime and the history lovers.

It's 6 am, October 30th, 2018. 89-year old former mobster-turned-informant,   Whitey Bulger is sitting in his wheelchair inside his brand-new home at USP, Hazelton Prison. He had only arrived hours earlier. The cell door had just been unlocked for breakfast and three fellow prisoners are headed his way and Whitey won't live tell his side of the story. His long life of violence as a Mob boss and enforcer of the notorious 'Winter Hill Gang'  comes full-circle. Is it karma? Why was he transferred to a prison where he was certain to be a target?In this podcast we're going to take a journey through a man's life that goes way beyond just being a mobster. A man who was a prisoner in Alcatraz. A man who was experimented on as part of the CIA's MK-Ultra program. A man who was once considered to be the 2nd most wanted individual on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, behind only the OG himself Osama Bin Laden. ★Enjoy!★PLEASE RATE THE PODCAST: I'd like to as a quick favor - please rate/ review the Homicide Inc podcast if you haven't already.

We're talking with legendary Tulsa Police Detective Mike Huff. Mike investigated the murder of Roger Wheeler in Oklahoma. The investigation led to Whitey Bulger and Boston's infamous Winter Hill Gang. Once Mike started his investigation, bodies started falling. Meanwhile, it became obvious to Mike that corrupt elements within Boston's FBI were protecting Bulger.

We begin the episode by breaking down the recent legal issues surrounding Boston Mafioso Vincent "the animal" Ferrara. Next, we break down the Detroit mob's attempt to take over the Roxbury section of Boston. This put them at odds with Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang.

The unabashed FBI corruption in Boston continues. John Connolly helped Whitey Bulger and his crew kill; Richard Castucci in '76, Brian Halloran '82 John Callahan '82. He also ran cover for the gang against the Massachusetts State Police and the DEA. The FBI's assistance allowed the Winter Hill Gang to surpass the local mafia in earning power and underworld prestige, killing gangsters and civilians along the way. How many citizens would be alive today if the FBI were actual cops? Probably enough to field a football team.

The innocent men the FBI had knowingly imprisoned began getting out of jail in 1997, as this heinous story unraveled.  Greco and Tamelo died in prison. H.Paul Rico retired from the FBI and became head of security for World Jai Lai, a gaming business, where he had the distinction of being the first FBI agent to provide information to organized crime that facilitated a homicide. The Winter Hill Gang had placed Rico as head of security to protect a skimming operation that netted about $32,000 weekly in today's money. Joe "the Animal" Barboza was the first inductee of the witness protection program. He went to culinary school, then proceeded to kill someone. The Mob located Barboza in San Francisco, he was almost cut in half with four shotgun blasts. Sounds like a movie but this was real life, thanks to the Boston FBI. Please share this episode!

*Note: technical difficulties with Sean's microphone this episode, apologies* By the late Seventies Jai Alai, a superfast, racketball-like sport, had become one of the US' most lucrative betting markets. That attracted Roger Wheeler, a mega-rich Tulsa tycoon, to pour millions into the game. It was also riddled with crime. Boston's Irish Mob, led by the bloodthirsty James “Whitey” Bulger, would make a mint skimming its earnings and building an underworld empire off Jai Alai's back. Then Wheeler figured out his latest investment was rotten. Bulger sprang into action, launching a campaign of terror that would claim several lives in gruesome fashion. Eventually, the Jai Alai slayings would bring down drug barons, dirty cops and dozens of New England's biggest gangsters. Ja Alai wouldn't fare much better.

Buddy returns to the pulpit to make his case that Trooper Dick Schneiderhan should have been given a greater sentence for his mis-deeds. We reveal that monitored and tapped phone numbers and registrations of State Police surveillance vehicles were provided to the Winter Hill Gang. Plus, the return of Joe B., and a little advice for an aspiring State Trooper in Massachusetts. 

In 1991 James "Whitey" Bulger won the Massachusetts lottery. Bulger and three cohorts hit the Mass Millions jackpot for over 14 Million dollars. In today's money that would be about 28 Million. Jim Bulger was under investigation by the IRS and needed to show legitimate income and Whitey soon found a way to do just that. Did the Winter Hill Gang fix the Massachusetts lottery like they had fixed horse racing for many years? This story is soooooo Boston it aches.

Whitey Bulger was one of America's most notorious mob bosses. He was a violent, sociopath but he accomplished the almost-unimaginable: he got FBI agents to let him kill whomever he wanted. This week, the incredible, mind-blowing story of Bulger and his Winter Hill Gang and how they basically ran the organized crime squad of the FBI and key officers of the Boston Police Force for over a decade.Our guest is the award-winning author and professor of journalism at Boston University—Dick Lehr. A former member of the Spotlight team for the Boston Globe and Pulitzer Prize Finalist in investigative reporting.  Lehr spent over two-decades researching this story with his colleague Gerard O'Neil.   Their  books - 'Whitey: the Life of America's Most Notorious Mob Boss' and 'Black Mass: Whitey Bulger, the FBI and a Devil's Deal' - were made into a major Hollywood movie staring Johnny Depp. And Lehr explains just how Whitey Bulger got -  a license to kill.

Enjoy this "replay" - Episode One, Part One. One of the most notorious gangsters in US history, James J. "Whitey" Bulger, Jr ruled the streets of Boston with an iron fist. He was the ruthless leader of the Winter Hill Gang. Murder Kingpin. The stacked jack of death (he did pride himself in being physically fit). The lord of the underworld. As a fixture in organized crime in the East, he ran a criminal enterprise for decades; sometimes he's called the Irish Godfather. His status as an FBI informant kept him out of prison for racketeering until the early 90s when federal indictments for a litany of crimes were coming down -- including the murders of 19 people. That's when he simply disappeared.Episode 1 on YouTube!Crime of the Truest KindCreated hosted, written, and produced by Anngelle WoodOnline: CrimeoftheTruestKind.comFacebook | Instagram | Twitter | ContactMusic from Joe onlyone Kowalski appears in this episode#newenglandcrimestories #massachusetts #truecrime #truecrimepodcast #podcast  #whiteybulger #southie #boston #winterhillgang #bostoncrime #massachusettstruecrimeSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/truestkind)

What A Creep: Whitey Bulger Season 8, Episode 7 In his 89 years of life, James “Whitey” Bulger mostly did whatever the hell he pleased—and usually got away with it. The notorious Boston gangster held his hometown in his clutches as the leader of the Winter Hill Gang. He was involved with everything from racketeering, extortion, murder, narcotics, and money laundering. He was eventually charged with the murder of 19 people (that we even know about) after being on the lamb for 16 years. His story was told (not very well) in the Johnny Depp movie Black Mass (the book is much better!) The character of “Costello” in The Departed (played by Jack Nicholson) was inspired by the story of Whitey Bulger. (Spoiler alert) He wound up killed by a younger version of himself on his first day at a prison in West Virginia. His whole life he railed against rats and snitches—but it turns out he was one of the biggest FBI informants in the 70s & 80s which shielded him from the law. His legacy of mayhem and murder continues in the culture of Boston and the number of supposed “good guys” who were complicit in his crimes will blow your mind.   Trigger Warnings: Murder, violence, sexual assault, and Margo’s frequent attempts at a Boston accent.

One of the most notorious gangsters in US history, James J. "Whitey" Bulger, Jr ruled the streets of Boston with an iron fist. He was the ruthless leader of the Winter Hill Gang. Murder Kingpin. The stacked jack of death. In early 1995, when he was about to be indicted on Federal charges for decades of misdeeds, Whitey Bulger fled Boston for good. It took 16 years for his capture. It is believed that the Boston FBI didn't want to find him. I sometimes believe that is true. In 1999, four years into his fugitive status, he was added to the FBI's Most Wanted List. I speak to Dave Wedge, co-author of Hunting Whitey (by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge) on their research for the book, Whitey's life on the run, and his brutal death in prison.Crime of the Truest KindHosted and written by Anngelle WoodAmbient sounds by onlyone - Joe KowalskiCrimeoftheTruestKind.com

In this episode, Kevin and Scott return once again to the streets of South Boston to shed some light on a very dark time in the history of Bean Town. Most of the nation learned of the notorious Whitey Bulger when he was finally captured in 2011 after 15 years on the lam, but for the people of Southie, he was always a known quantity. A benefactor to be respected, and a demon to be feared. Equal parts loving son, father, and horrific enforcer of gangland justice, Black Mass takes us inside the mind of a complicated, and sinister, man. Also, did we mention how HOT Juno Temple is???

James Joseph "Whitey" Bulger Jr. is one of the most infamous organized crime leaders in modern American history. As leader of Boston's Winter Hill Gang, Bulger would eventually earn a place at #1 on the FBI's Most Wanted List. Bulger went on the run in 1994 and became a ghost for the law enforcement agencies tasked with finding him. Today, I am joined by bestselling authors Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge to talk about their new book, Hunting Whitey: The Inside Story of the Capture and Killing of America's Most Wanted Crime Boss. Casey and Dave both have backgrounds in journalism and have developed a dynamic partnership writing about topics related to the Boston area. In today's true crime episode, the three of us discuss Whitey Bulger's criminal career, his 16 years spent as a fugitive, and the breaks in the case that ultimately led to Bulger's arrest in 2011.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we do some mobster-style true crime and talk about the kingpin of Boston, Whitey Bulger. In the 1970s and 80s, Bulger ran the Winter Hill Gang and was the head of the Irish Mob in the Boston area. This was a title he earned through several wars with the Irish, a deal with the Italians, and a whole lotta bodies. His story was so wild that Martin Scorsese based Jack Nicholson’s character from The Departed on him. Johnny Depp also played him in Black Mass. Whitey was part of MKUltra, supported the Irish Republican Army, and turned his job as an FBI informant on its ear, corrupting the local feds. He managed to escape capture by globe-trotting with his girlfriend for 16 years. Born to two immigrants from Canada, James “Whitey” Bulger was a typical Southie kid from Boston. His father was a longshoreman who lost his arm in an accident and could no longer work. While Whitey’s siblings all did well in school and walked the straight and narrow, he turned to the streets. He was in a gang called the Shamrocks by the age of 14, and in his time with them he was arrested for assault, forgery and armed robbery. Once out of jail, he spent some time in the military but spent as much time in the brig as he did serving his country. At 26 years old, he got arrested for armed robbery while jacking a truck. In prison, he volunteered for the MKUltra project once he found out he’d get paid to take drugs. It didn’t go so well as the LSD took its toll, but eventually he got out. Once free, he found himself in the middle of a war between Irish gangs. He killed the wrong guy, like you do, and escalated things until the Italian mob got involved and settled a peace. This was the birth of the Winter Hill Gang. From there, he raised in the ranks. He did it all. Extortion, theft, armed robbery, murder, anything you can think of that a mafia does, you can bet Whitey did it. Some say his mob was even responsible for the Gardner Museum Heist. Eventually, he became an FBI informant, though he prided himself on serving them weak information in return for favors. In time, he had his two FBI handlers accepting bribes and giving him tips and covering from every crime he committed. In fact, when the entire leadership of the Winter Hill Gang was arrested, Whitey was spared by the FBI and took control of the gang. He ran Boston with a strange code that he had, and he was racist, using terrorist tactics to try and stop desegregation of schools in the 1960s. Eventually, the DEA and local police figured out that the FBI was covering for him, so they build their own case. Whitey’s FBI guys tipped him off, however, and he went on the run for a whopping 16 years. At one point, he even beat Osama Bin Laden on the top 10 most wanted list. So, how did his girlfriend’s boob job help get them caught? Where were they living? How many murders did he get sentenced for? What brutal end did he face at the hands of other mobsters while an old man in jail? How did his own plans to die on the lamb lead to an abandoned mine shaft in Arizona?

For the first time, Boston reporters Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge draw on exclusive interviews and exhaustive investigative reportage to tell the complete story of Whitey Bulger, one of the most notorious crime bosses in American history—alongside Al “Scarface” Capone and Vito Genovese—and a longtime FBI informant. The leader of Boston’s Winter Hill Gang and #1 on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, Bulger was indicted for nineteen counts of murder, racketeering, narcotics distribution, and extortion. But it was his sixteen-year flight from justice on the eve of his arrest that made him a legend and exposed deep corruption within the FBI.While other accounts have examined Bulger’s crimes, this remarkable chronicle tells the story of his life on the run, his capture, and his eventual murder inside one of America’s most dangerous prisons—”Misery Mountain”—in 2018. Interweaving the perspectives of Bulger, his family and cohorts, and law enforcement, Hunting Whitey explains how this dangerous criminal evaded capture for nearly two decades and shines a spotlight on the dedicated detectives, federal agents, and prosecutors involved in bringing him to justice. It is also a fascinating, detailed portrait of both Bulger’s trial and his time in prison—including shocking new details about his death at Misery Mountain less than twenty-four hours after his arrival.Granted access to exclusive prison letters and interviews with dozens of people connected to the case on both sides, Sherman and Wedge offer a trove of fascinating new stories and create an incomparable portrait of one of the most infamous criminals in American history. HUNTING WHITEY: The Inside Story of the Capture & Killing of America's Most Wanted Crime Boss-Dave WedgeMurder#fabfitfunpartner

Based on exclusive, fresh reporting, HUNTING WHITEY is the thrilling, definitive inside story of the pursuit, capture, and killing of legendary South Boston mob boss, James “Whitey” Bulger, detailing as never before his years on the run, how he evaded arrest, and his brutal murder in prison. Sherman and Wedge draw on exclusive interviews and exhaustive investigative reportage to tell the complete story of Whitey Bulger, one of the most notorious crime bosses in American history and a longtime FBI informant. The leader of Boston’s Winter Hill Gang and #1 on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, Bulger was indicted for nineteen counts of murder, racketeering, narcotics distribution, and extortion. But it was his sixteen-year flight from justice on the eve of his arrest that made him a legend and exposed deep corruption within the FBI. Interweaving the perspectives of Bulger, his family and cohorts, and law enforcement—including former FBI Director Andrew McCabe, HUNTING WHITEY explains how this dangerous criminal evaded capture for nearly two decades and shines a spotlight on the dedicated detectives, federal agents, and prosecutors involved in bringing him to justice. It is also a fascinating, detailed portrait of both Bulger’s trial and his time in prison—including shocking new details about his 2018 death at Hazelton Prison less than twenty-four hours after his arrival. Unlike other books chronicling Bulger’s life and crimes, HUNTING WHITEY offers unprecedented access to inside sources in this case and chronicles the story of his life on the run, his capture, and his eventual murder. This is the definitive book on Whitey Bulger. Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge are one of the premier non-fiction writing teams telling stories out of Boston. Together, they co-wrote the definitive story of the Boston Marathon bombings in Boston Strong: A City’s Triumph Over Tragedy, which was adapted for the Mark Wahlberg film Patriots Day. They also wrote Ice Bucket Challenge: Pete Frates and the Fight against ALS, which is in development as a Netflix feature film, and the New York Times bestselling 12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady’s Fight for Redemption. They live in Boston. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

“I've experienced racing from the hooves up, rage from the inside out and redemption from heaven down,” says author Eddie Donnally, an ordained minister, endorsed chaplain and the only former jockey to win an Eclipse Award for Outstanding Newspaper Writing. An electric jockey with a juice machine, he rode on racing's undercard, lived inside its underbelly and became a part of its underworld. From constant bulimia, broken bones and betrayal of Boston's infamous Winter Hill Gang, he depicts an unseen side of Thoroughbred racing. Yet the five tons of his sweat that disappeared down “hot box” drains was nothing compared to his struggles with sibling sexual trauma, same-sex promiscuity and an addiction to crack cocaine that in seven months took him from sports writing and TV show hosting to grooming horses on a track's backstretch.  Intrigued? Join me for an insightful discussion racing, rage, and redemption with Eddie Donnelly, horse jockey, author, pastor, and chaplain tonight on the show at 7 pm Eastern time.

In part 2, the former head of drug operations for Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang talks about hanging out with Johnny Depp on the set of his film 'Black Mass' , how Whitey stole $250,000 from the Italian mafia, how he lost the love of his life Penelope after being sent away to federal prison, and if it is even possible for a gangster to call in sick to work.

This week we tackle Black Mass, starting first and foremost with… why the hell is this thing called Black Mass? We also talk about the career of Johnny Depp, how breast implants helped bring down the Winter Hill Gang and Joe reveals just exactly what used to go on in the backroom of Blockbuster. (Hint: Netflix has never looked better). All this plus a Video Recovery from Dan. It’s Reel Spoilers #120: 'Black Mass.' You’ve been warned.

In the 1970’s, in South Boston, FBI Agent, John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) persuades, Jimmy (Whitey} Bolger, head of the Winter Hill Gang, to collaborate with the Bureau to bring down the Italian Mob. To say this wasn’t the best of ideas is an understatement. ‘Whitey Bogler became one of the most feared crime lords in […]

When the infamous gangster Whitey Bulger went on the lam in 1995, the streets of Boston became a war zone between the Mafia and the renegades, with the Winter Hill Gang looking on. Rogue Mobster: The Untold Story of Mark Silverman and the New England Mafia chronicles the inside story of the Boston mob wars of the 1990’s when over two dozen gangsters were killed in a vicious war for control of the Boston underworld. Rogue Mobster is told in the words of Mark Silverman, an outsider from Medford who got inside the mob and became an integral part of the ensuing war. His account is the first-ever inside glimpse into what went on at the street level, why people were killed, and what the stakes were. Silverman grew up in the shadow of Whitey Bulger, Howie Winter, Raymond Patriarca and Jerry Anguilo, bosses of Boston’s most infamous crime families. With a Jewish last name, his opportunities should have been limited in Boston’s Irish/Italian underworld, but he moved up quickly, gaining acceptance across the board. Silverman was ‘made’ in the Patriarca Family as a reward for infiltrating a renegade mob faction backed by a New York family. The book begins with a unique history of the Boston gangland scene and takes the reader up to the late 1980’s,Silverman recounts the shifting alliances and friendships that were torn apart as the various mob factions battled for control of the Boston underworld through the early 2000’s. Rogue Mobster is a firsthand account of the violent Boston mob wars of the 1990s, when bodies were piling up across New England and Mark Silverman was walking a tightrope between Winter Hill and the Mafia.

Last night I welcomed local author Dan Ferullo to the WRKO studios for a discussion about his novel Monster Hill, "It’s the early sixties, and the wife of Henry Sommers, the leader of the notorious Winter Hill Gang, is brutally murdered in her Boston hospital room, resulting in a gangland war lasting over thirty years and throwing a close-kit Irish family into a whirlpool of violence, deceit, and heartbreak." This is a purely fictional story, not a Bulger-book (not that there’s anything wrong with that.:) Dan has a background in law enforcement and that contributes greatly to the overall character development. We’ve done a lot of author interviews over the years and one thing I’ve always been fascinated by is how they structure their stories, how they piece things together and develop the narrative. It is especially interesting when talking about fiction or a novel where the writers imagination controls all. This book would be a great beach read, and since we seemingly have skipped spring, you can buy a copy at Amazon and learn more at the book web site here.
