Whitey and his protégé, Kevin Weeks, in 1994 on Castle Island in South Boston. Whitey groomed Weeks, a champion amateur boxer, to be his go-to guy. They walked the island daily, avoiding electronic surveillance as they talked. Weeks helped Whitey in his early days on the run, before he knew Whitey was an informant. He cooperated with investigators after his arrest and led them to the secret graves of Whitey’s victims. (
