The life of Boston’s most notorious gangster James “Whitey” Bulger has all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster, and the crime lord may have already written the script himself in the pages of a secret autobiography that he has been writing during his years on the run.
The existence of the tell-all papers was disclosed in a status report filed by federal prosecutors in court on Tuesday, who revealed that a manuscript titled My Life in the Irish Mafia Wars was recovered by investigators on January 5, 1995, at the South Boston home of Bulger’s ex-girlfriend, Teresa Stanley, reported the Boston Herald.
A second document was discovered last June when investigators searched the beachside California apartment that Bulger and his longtime girlfriend, Catherine Greig, shared until his undercover identity was discovered, and which the feds noted “appears to be autobiographical.”
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, after running from the law for 16 years, Bulger -- the 81-year-old head of Boston's Winter Hill Gang -- was arrested in Santa Monica in June 2011 after an informant turned him in.
He's charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, narcotics distribution, extortion and money laundering, and has pleaded not guilty in connection with 19 killings.
Stanley claims that she was unaware that the autobiography was lying in her closet in her home where he kept his belongings and called his “sometimes address,” but she recalled would-be authors mailing Whitey pitches to write his life story.
