Bulger evasion case mirrors textbook avoidance on West Coast
Boston mob boss James Bulger and longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig hid in plain sight for 16 years in Santa Monica after fleeing Boston in 1995. They lived modestly, paid cash, kept social contact minimal, and used aliases while authorities traced them through their past. Neighbors and former officials describe a careful, unflashy reinvention that preserved Bulger’s freedom until a recent probe uncovered their lair and the hidden $800,000 in the apartment.
