When Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011, Bulger rose to the top of the FBI’s fugitive list. He killed or arranged the murder of nearly 20 people between 1973 and 1985, according to federal authorities. In 1956 he was sent to federal prison for armed robbery and hijacking a truck. “Although there are those who doubted our resolve, it never wavered,” Boston FBI Special Agent Richard DesLauriers said in announcing the arrests. Even in prison, Bulger didn’t fade from the media spotlight.
