Teresa Stanley, a former long-time squeeze of James "Whitey" Bulger who rejected a life on the run with the Irish mobster in 1995 following his indictment, has died from lung cancer at 71 as reported by Shelley Murphy for The Boston Globe: "Stanley testified in court that she was unaware of Bulger's alleged criminal activities," and "Charles 'Chip' Fleming, a retired Boston police detective who was assigned to the FBI-led task force that hunted Bulger for years, said Stanley once told him 'the Jimmy Bulger you guys know is not the one I knew.'"
After Stanley bailed on Bulger the mob fugitive picked up Catherine Greig with whom he was having an affair, and the pair remained on the lam for sixteen years until their apprehension last year in Santa Monica, CA. In June Greig was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to standing by her man. Bulger's racketeering trial involving nineteen murders is scheduled for March 2013.
