Special Report: Is Whitey Set To Surrender?

Whitey Bulger's heart could be driving his push to come home. The killer, on the FBI's Most Wanted list is reportedly trying to return to Massachusetts and settle things on his own terms.

James Whitey Bulger has been on the run for ten years. Now, he is reportedly cutting a deal to turn himself in. The information and tactics used for his surrender is as elusive as the man himself

Mike Sullivan, U.S. Attorney
"We remain continually optimistic that at some point in time we're gonna bring him back here to Massachusetts to face justice. I'm just not prepared to say that today's going to be that day"

The Boston Herald says his terms include his family getting the $1 million bounty on his head and his escaping the death penalty.

Howie Carr, WRKO Talk Show Host
"What he wants is a sort of blanket immunity deal for everyone who has helped him over the last ten years."

Bulger took off just before his indictment for nearly two dozen murders

His brother, the former senate president once accused of lying to protect him says he knows nothing about a deal.

"Would you like to see your brother come home?"

William Bulger, Whitey's brother
"Thank you, nice seeing you."

Victoria Block, 7News
"You know your brother. Why do you think he wants to come home?"

William Bulger, Whitey's brother
"I don't know."

The FBI task force has been on a global manhunt for the man whose victims have been unearthed over the last few years. Now, he is apparently sick and running out of time...and so is the FBI.

Mike Sullivan, U.S. Attorney
"We hope to shorten his fugitive status…but I can't say it's imminent in terms of his return."

In a joint statement, the FBI and U.S. Attorney say they welcome the opportunity to discuss with James Bulger or anyone on his behalf, his surrender.
