As a teenager, Whitey Bulger was one of the toughest kids in his neighborhood. He was a dedicated physical fitness buff, running on nearby Carson Beach and lifting weights in his family’s apartment in the Old Harbor Village housing project.

By the time Whitey was in his twenties, he had graduated to bank robbery and the lifestyle it afforded. He estimated that he spent twenty-five thousand dollars in one year on stylish clothes, sumptuous food, and fancy hotels for him and his girlfriend.

William “Bill” Bulger in 1988 in his office at the Massachusetts State House, where he presided as president of the senate from 1978 to 1996. He was fiercely protective of his older brother, Whitey, advocating for him during the nine years Whitey was in prison. (

Lindsey Cyr, mother of Whitey’s only known child, and their four-year-old son, Douglas, in 1971. Whitey, a doting father, was deeply shaken when the boy died at age six.

Whitey firebombed John F. Kennedy’s birthplace in 1975 to protest busing of Southie students during desegregation. He spray-painted “Bus Teddy” outside because Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy was a staunch defender of busing.

Triple O’s in South Boston became Whitey’s hangout. He used the bar’s private upstairs room to plot mayhem, extort money, and meet with the founder of the Provisional Irish Republican Army.

John Connolly, Whitey’s FBI handler, in 1998, nine years after his retirement. He grew up in the same housing project as the Bulgers, and Whitey’s brother Bill was a mentor. Connolly returned the favor by becoming Whitey’s protector.

Connolly, in 1983, at the time considered a model agent, escorting Mafia bookkeeper Frankie Angiulo to court after his arrest on federal racketeering charges.

Whitey and Teresa Stanley during a trip to Europe in the 1980s. Whitey began dating Stanley in 1966, when she was a single mother with four young children. He insisted on nightly family dinners and lectured her kids about studying hard and staying away from bad influences.
