Bulger lived in Calif. apartment 15 years
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two property managers at the Santa Monica apartment complex where Boston mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger lived with his girlfriend say the pair moved in about 15 years ago and paid the rent in cash.
The managers, who asked their names not be used because they didn’t want additional attention from the media, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the couple moved in around 1996.
Bulger was arrested Wednesday evening. He had been on the run since 1995.
The managers recalled the couple, who went by the names Charles and Carol Gasko, as ideal tenants who always paid their rent on time.
Santa Monica property records show the apartment had a rent-controlled rate of $1,145 a month.
