Part two of our Holiday Special on Whitey Bulger and the Fugitive Task Force members who took down the Boston Mobster. In 1995, Bulger could have been caught. Listen to former MA State Trooper Jack Walsh and Mike from the DOC (MA) discuss the mis-handlings of the case that allowed Bulger to run for decades after.

Special Guests from the MA Dept. of Corrections Fugitive Task Force and former MA State Trooper Jack Walsh join us for a two-party "Holiday Special" on the hunt for Whitey Bulger. Both men served on the Bulger Task force for almost a decade, telling never before heard stories from 1995 onward.

The gang discusses the one-sided "police reform" bill in both the Massachusetts Senate and State Legislature. Joe B has some thoughts on the Patriots, and Greg gets angry at some local politicians.

Former Boston Globe Columnist and Author Steve Kurkjian joins the podcast and talks about his book Master Thieves: The Boston Gangsters Who Pulled Off the World’s Greatest Art Heist. Joe B finally does his homework, and Buddy stays silent for almost 20 minutes (wow).

Buddy explains how an entire dealership full of brand new GM cars was stolen in one night. Joe B finally makes a few good points instead of sitting silently in front of his microphone drinking a beer.

Buddy Saccardo discusses his hatred for the FBI's top Echelon Informant Program and how John Martorano and Whitey Bulger used it to their advantage to kill innocent people all around the United States and beyond.

Stephen Flemmi's status as a "Top Echelon Informant" and the lies John Martorano told about never killing for money. Also, we examine Boston as depicted in the movies versus what happened in real life. Plus - FBI agent John Connolly as the "flashy dresser."

Episode 2: Capt. Buddy Saccardo talks about life after retirement from the Massachusetts State Police. Why not just retire? Instead, Buddy went on to work for multiple Law Enforcement Agencies and began to investigate the suspicious killings of young women in Boston like Kathy Murphy.

Former Massachusetts State Police Captain Joe "Buddy" Saccardo explains what motivated him to become a Trooper, and what life was like in the MSP in the early 1960's.
