Milton Resident and Victim's Brother Reacts to Whitey Bulger's Arrest: No Justice for the Davis Family

For the family members who allegedly lost a close relative at the today’s early morning arrest does not bring much comfort.

Stephen Davis of Milton, Massachusetts, whose sister, Debra Davis, was allegedly murdered ago at the age of 26, does not feel any sense of closure.

“There’s no closure to any of it,” Davis, a 27-year resident of Milton, said. “The guy’s walking around and he killed a family member–my sister.”

The Davis family has been following the news all day and night, watching the local Boston television coverage of from their living room in Milton. Davis received a call from his cousin in the early morning hours, alerting him to the arrest of the mobster.

The married father of two said the arrest just brings about more questions that continue to remain unanswered. “How’d he get the ID? How’d he get a lease on an apartment? Did the Feds know where he was? Who knows?”

He questioned how the mob boss could have remained on the lam for 16 years, in this country, under the noses of the FBI.

“Now he’s captured and the they are saying his health is failing and he has Alzheimer’s,”  Davis said. “Will the government now say to pull him out” of testifying in court. “He may not be credible to be prosecuted."

Davis, whose parents died before seeing Bulger’s arrest, vowed to attend all of the upcoming Boston court trials. “I’m going to go to every one of them.”

The 53-year-old Davis is one of 10 siblings, six are still alive. He grew up in Brookline and Roslindale. He and his sister Debbie were extremely close, as they were only a year apart in age, he recalled.

“I hung with my sister,” Davis said. “She had a heart of gold” and was “very beautiful.”

He named his own daughter after Debbie, he noted. In another tragedy for the family, the younger Debra Davis was killed in a drunken driving accident in 2008 in Foxborough.

Because of that love and devotion to his sister, and the excruciating way she was allegedly  murdered, Davis would love for the mobster to receive the same treatment.

“I’m an eye-for-an-eye kind of guy,” he said. “I’d like to get even with him, but I know that will never happen.”

What troubles him is the mythical status has in Southie. “The Southie kids, they say he’s a legend,” Davis said. “But they’re not victims. They’re not brothers of victims.”

What he hopes in the end is that justice will be served for his little sister. “Everyone should pay for their actions.”
