Whitey Bulger arrest: Couple lived undetected in Santa Monica for 14 years

The couple -– known as Charles and Carol Gasko -– had lived an uneventful life in their rent-controlled Santa Monica apartment for more than a decade. But now federal authorities say that Charles and Carol Gasko were actually James "Whitey" Bulger, 81, and Catherine Greig, 60.

Bulger, was one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted fugitives, a notorious Boston crime boss sought in connection with at least 19 killings, racketeering and other crimes.

The couple had lived in the Santa Monica apartment for at least 14 years.

Federal law enforcement officials in Washington and Boston said they received a good tip on Greig's whereabouts Tuesday night after airing public service announcements in 14 cities across the country.

They began watching the Santa Monica residence Wednesday afternoon for several hours, then used a ruse to lure Bulger out. They arrested the couple without incident.
