| | Bulger family, friends probed - The Boston Globe |
 | | Frustrated by a worldwide manhunt that has failed to snare James ``Whitey" Bulger, federal prosecutors are investigating whether the gangster's relatives or associates of his brother, William M. Bulger, were involved in an early effort to thwart the investigation of the fugitive, according to several sources familiar with the probe. |
 | | James Bulger spoke with John Bulger, then a clerk magistrate at Boston Juvenile Court, and Weeks during the prearranged call, but not to Hurley or Dooley, according to one source. |
 | | James Bulger, now 77 and one of the FBI's 10 Most Wanted fugitives, fled a month before his 1995 federal racketeering indictment and was later revealed to be a longtime FBI informant and charged with murder of 19 people. |
