Whitey Bulger

All you Herst heads will dig this (Whitey is the president of UMASS' brother):

Whitey Bulger has found himself at the center of another “mandatory kill,” though this one was ordered by a photo agency seeking to delete an image from their archives. The alert was prompted by the F.B.I.’s admission that they misidentified a German couple vacationing in Sicily as the reputed Boston crime boss and his girlfriend, Catherine Greig.

Despite no apparent problems with the law, the couple somehow evaded the F.B.I.’s global manhunt for months. Indeed, they delivered themselves to the authorities after seeing themselves on Aktenzeichen XY … ungelöst, a German show about fugitives that preceded “America’s Most Wanted.”

The online wanted poster.Mr. Bulger, 77, is wanted for 18 counts of murder and other charges, has a $1,000,000 bounty on his head and the expectation that he is “armed and extremely dangerous,” according to the F.B.I.’s news release (pdf).
Doubts about the image surfaced immediately after it was unveiled with great fanfare last September. “This new picture doesn’t look anything like Whitey Bulger,” a blogger at Boston Magazine wrote. “This guy had more hair on his head than Bulger did in ‘94.”
