Greig was captured with Bulger by the FBI and U.S. Marshals in 2011 at an apartment complex in Santa Monica, Calif. Greig went on to serve an eight-year sentence for aiding Bulger during his fugitive years. She completed her sentence in 2020 and was last known to be living in South Boston.
Bulger, an FBI informant, fled Massachusetts in 1994 after he learned of a federal probe into his criminal organization. He was beaten to death in a West Virginia prison in 2018 while serving a life sentence on murder charges.
