Teahan:
With this case, there was a $1 million reward for his capture; there is now a $2 million reward. It was increased in September of 2008. It shows the FBI’s commitment to catch Bulger. It shows our commitment to seek information concerning his arrest and or capture.
We’ve focused on the associates of Bulger. Are there people in Boston that aided and abetted, and still harbor Bulger? That’s part of our mission. That’s what we look for. Is there anybody in the Boston area, or anywhere, that has been manipulated by Bulger in order for him to remain a fugitive?
Who do we think is communicating with Bulger? Are there family members communicating with him? Is it friends? Is it people that we don’t know about across the United States and internationally that are continuing to aid and abet him?
He is a predator in every sense of the word, and again, as I’ve mentioned, took advantage of the very community that he was from.
Our international cooperation is wide in scope, and along with the investigative side of it we look to publicize the Bulger case worldwide in order to, in essence, make his world smaller for him.
