HINGHAM, Mass. (AP) — The longtime girlfriend of late Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger now lives with his relatives in an affluent suburb.
The Boston Globe reports that 68-year-old Catherine Greig lives in a Hingham home owned by a daughter and son-in-law of Bulger’s brother, William Bulger, the former president the Massachusetts Senate.
Greig is serving the last year of an eight-year sentence in home confinement for helping Whitey Bulger evade capture for 16 years. The sentence ends next July. The 89-year-old Bulger was killed in prison last October.
Greig declined to comment Thursday when approached by a Globe reporter.
Her sister, Margaret McCusker, says Greig loved Bulger and misses him.
Greig’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, says his client has paid her debt to society and should be allowed to “live her life with happiness.”
