for years, james "whitey" bulger was the most notorious mobster in boston. then with the fbi on his trail, he and his long-time girlfriend just disappeared. they eluded the law for 14 years by hiding in plain sight in santa monica, california. they were pretending to be a husband and wife couple. steve kroft spoke to their neighbors and the agents who caught them for "60 minutes." >> reporter: if you're forced into retirement with a desire to be left completely alone, there is no better place than santa monica, california. this low-key, seaside suburb of l.a. is shared by transients, tourists, hippies and head-onists, celebrities, and lots of senior citizens. attracted to the climate, and an abundance of inexpensive, rent controlled apartments just a few

street, which is where charlie and carol gasco, a childless couple from chicago, lived for 14 years, without attracting much attention from long-time neighbors or landlords. josh bond is the building manager. what were they like? >> they were like the nice, retired old couple that lived in the apartment next to me. >> reporter: good tenants? >> excellent. never complained, always paid rent on time. >> reporter: in cash? >> in cash. >> reporter: janice goodwin lived down the hall. >> they had nothing. and they never went out. they never had food delivered. she never dressed nicely. >> reporter: you thought they were poor? >> yes, without a doubt. >> reporter: the one thing that everybody remembers is they loved animals. and always made a fuss over the ones in the neighborhood. barbara remembers that carol always fed a stray cat after its owner had died. >> she would, you know, pet it and be sweet to it. and then they would put a plate of food like out here.

>> you know, he always had a hat on and dark glasses. i have to say, it was mysterious to me why a lovely woman like that was hanging out with that guy. that old, grumpy man. i never could figure that one out. until i heard they had $800,000 in the wall. and then i went oh, okay. >> reporter: money wasn't the only thing found in the apartment on june 22, 2011. when the fbi stopped by and ended what it called the most extensive manhunt in the bureau's history. >> weapons all over the apartment. i mean, weapons by the night stand, under the window sill, shotguns, mini rugers, rifles. >> reporter: what started out as a routine day for special agent gariola, would turn into one of the most interesting days of his career. after getting a call to stake out a building in santa monica, he notified his backup team with

>> i had four guys working that day. i said we got a tip on whitey bulger, i'll see you there in about an hour. invariably, texts were returned, who's whitey bulger? >> reporter: really? >> a few of them. i had to gently remind him who he was. >> reporter: that he was number one on the fbi's most wanted list. >> number one, yeah. big east coast figure, but the west coast, not so much. >> reporter: the cops in l.a. were focused on gang bangers and cartel members, not some retired irish mobster who hadn't been spotted in 16 years. but then few mobsters have ever been as infamous in the city as whitey bulger was in boston. and his reputation was for more than just being grumpy. besides extortion and flooding the city with cocaine, he routinely performed or ordered executions. some at close range, some with a hail of bullets. and at least one by strangulation, after which it's

the special agent who ran the whitey bulger task force had heard it all. >> bulger was charged with 19 counts of murder. he was charged with other crimes. he was a scourge to the society in south boston. his own community. >> reporter: he was also a scourge to the fbi and a great source of embarrassment to the fbi task force. years earlier, he had infiltrated the boston office of the fbi, and bought off agents who protected him and supplied him with information, including the tip that allowed bulger to flee just before he was indicted. >> we had to catch this guy, to establish credibility after all the other issues. it was just a matter of bringing this guy back to boston. >> reporter: they joined the task force in 2009. the joke was, bulger was on the fbi's least wanted list. there hadn't been a credible

their efforts in bulger's old neighborhood in south boston were met with mistrust and ridicule. >> some people told us you aren't looking for that guy. people made the assumption that we had him stashed somewhere. people really thought that kind of thing. >> despite that mindset we're not going to help you, the fbi still got it done. >> reporter: it took 16 years. >> it took 16 years. this was not a typical fugitive. >> reporter: the fbi said bulger planned his getaway years in advance, with money set aside and a fake identity for a thomas baxter. during his first two years on the lam, bulger was in touch with friends and family, shuttling between new york, chicago, and the resort town of grand isle, louisiana, where he rented a home until his identity was compromised. after that, it seemed as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, except for the alleged sightings all over the world. how many of these tips do you think might have been true?

thousands of tips and i don't think any of them were true. >> reporter: one of the obstacles is there were no good photographs of bulger or his long-time live-in girlfriend, catherine greig, a former dental hygienist. the fbi noted that they shared a love of animals, especially dogs and cats, and asked veterinarians to be on the lookout. in were reports that greig once had breast implants in boston, so the task force reached out to physicians. eventually they got a call from a dr. donally, who located her files in storage. >> i was trying to leave the office early to catch one of my kid's ball games. i said listen, i'm going to swing by in the morning and pick those up. they said, do you want the photos, too? i said, you have photos? they said yeah, we have photos. i said, we'll be there in 15 minutes. >> the breast implant lead

high resolution catherine greig photographs that would help crack the case. the fbi decided to switch strategies, going after the girlfriend in order to catch the gangster. >> this is an announcement by the fbi. >> reporter: the fbi created this public service announcement. >> 60-year-old greig is the girlfriend of 81-year-old bulger. >> reporter: it ran in 14 markets on daytime talk shows, aimed at women. >> call the tipline. >> reporr: and it didn't take long. the very next morning, the bulger task force got three messages from someone that used to live in santa monica, and was 100% certain that charlie and carol gasgo, apartment 303, were the people they were looking for. the descriptions and the age difference matched, and u.s. marshal neil sullivan, who handled the lead, said there was another piece of tantalizing information. >> the tipster described that they were caring for this cat and their love for this cat. so that was just one piece of the puzzle and the tip that just

isn't them, it's something we better check on immediately, because it sure sounds like them. >> reporter: the search of the fbi's computer database raised another red flag. not for what it found but for what it didn't. >> basically, like they were ghosts. no driver's license, no california i.d. >> reporter: that's the apartment? >> that corner on the third floor. side? >> yep. >> reporter: by early afternoon, the fbi had set up a number of surveillance posts and had already met with the apartment manager josh bond to talk about his tenants. >> he closed the door, threw down a folder, opened it up and said are these the people that live in apartment 303? >> reporter: did you say anything when you saw the pictures? >> my reaction was holy [ bleep ]. roim you're living next door to a gangster. >> i still can't really know who he was. >> reporter: but it didn't take long to figure it out. while the fbi was mulling his options, bond logged on to the

>> i'm scrolling down, it's like, oh, wow, this guy is serious. murder, extortion. then i get to the bottom and there's this thing from one of his old people saying, the last time i saw him he said when he goes out, he's going to have guns and be ready to take people with him. i thought maybe i shouldn't be involved in this. >> reporter: bond told the fbi he wasn't going to knock on the door because there was a note posted expressly asking people not to bother them. carol told neighbors charlie was showing signs of dementia. >> so we were back there. >> reporter: so he devised a ruse involving their storage locker in the garage. >> it had the game gasco across it. and apartment 303. >> reporter: he had the manager call to tell them their locker had been broken into and he needed someone to come down and see if anything was missing. carol said her husband would be right down. you just rushed him? >> guns out, fbi, don't move. fbi, get your hands up, hands

and then at that moment we told him to get on his knees and he gave us, yeah, he gave us i ain't getting down on my "f"-ing knees. >> reporter: didn't want to get his pants dirty? >> didn't want to get his pants dirty. wearing white, seeing the oil, he didn't want to get his pants dirly. >> reporter: even at 81, this was a man used to being in control. >> i asked him to identify himself. that didn't go over well. he didn't me to "f"-ing identify myself. i said are you whitey bulger? he said yes. >> you can see the full report on our website, cbsnews.com. the "overnight news" will be right back. (cell phone rings) where are you? well the squirrels are back in the attic. mom? your dad won't call an exterminator... can i call you back, mom? he says it's personal this time...

the most popular gifts this holiday season, despite stories of them catching fire and being banned from airplanes. but it turns out one of the most dangerous things a kid can do with a hoverboard is let their parents ride it. ben tracy reports. >> this is a piece of cake. >> reporter: it's the gift that keeps on giving, especially for kids enjoying seeing their parents hop on their hoverboards and finding themselves cruising for a bruising. in social media videos, helmets and knee pads are nowhere in sight. so when many parents go down, it does not end well. this teenager tweeted, my dad sprained his arm riding the hoverboard this morning. merry christmas. florida congressman carlos g,

in a sling. tweeting -- hoverboards is for kids. my daughter got it. i ended up in the er. most adults are finding the thrills are not worth it. baseball free agent dan uggla tried to roll with his kids, but had a hard time getting into the swing of things. that's just one reason the #hoverboardfails has gone viral. just before christmas, the u.s. consumer product safety reported the number of injuries associated with hoverboards spiked 35%. that is expected to rise dramatically in the post holiday tally, and worries some safety experts. >> you have a product that doesn't have to meet any safety requirements. and it's finding its way to the u.s. market. >> reporter: nathan furnace sells the boards in los angeles. he thinks the problem is overconfident adults who don't realize the boards are self-balancing scooters. >> they try to pal bans them -- balance themselves up. stop, chill out. just stand straight up.

>> try to stand straight up. >> reporter: i thought i got the hang of it quickly, until i didn't. his cell phone caught he movering on the ground. have you seen a lot of adults wipe out on these things? >> i have to be honest, yes. my mom, in fact, was one of the adults that wiped out on them. >> reporter: and that may be the lesson of this holiday season. something that seems like child's play is probably best left to actual children. for "cbs this morning," ben tracy, on the pavement of a los angeles parking lot. and that's the "overnight news" for this tuesday.

incident an absolute tragedy, but not a crime. demarco morgan is in cleveland. >> simply put, given this perfect storm of human error, the state's miscommunication by all involved that day, the evidence did not indicate criminal conduct by police. >> reporter: cuyahoga county prosecutor tim mcginty says this enhanced video shows 12-year-old tamir rice was pulling a pellet gun out of his waistband when he was shot. >> he either intended to hand it over to the officers or show it wasn't a real gun, but there was no way for the officers to know it. they saw the events unfolding in front of them from a different perspective. >> reporter: the prosecutor said the radio dispatcher was to blame for not telling the police that the gun may have been fake and the suspect may have been underage.

911 call. >> reporter: but the radio dispatcher told the officers this: >> reporter: officer loehmann shot rice within two seconds of pulling up to the scene with his training officer frank garmback. the county's public corruption unit chief says officers trained to shoot quickly when they believe a suspect may open fire. >> it is clear that had these officers known this was possibly a child and the gun was possibly a toy, that would not have considered this incident to have been so serious and most certainly would have used different tactics. >> reporter: walter madison represents the rice family. >> there was an expectation that this would be the outcome of the grand jury process, but there's nothing like knowing. it's real now and they have to live with that.

family of tamir rice complained the officers were allowed to give statements to the grand jury and were not asked questions, something they say would never happen if a civilian were accused. the officers remain under restricted duty. >> demarco morgan in cleveland tonight. in another major story tonight, the storm system that left a path of devastation in the south is heading north and east, adding more ice and snow to the lethal mix of severe weather. at least 47 deaths are reported in seven states since an outbreak of tornadoes in the south last week. the storms also brought flooding to alabama and significant travel delays. mark strassmann begins our coverage in el reno, oklahoma. mark? >> reporter: jeff, take a look at this branch, iced over like so much of this community. police have urged residents to stay off of iced roads, but that often means staying inside houses that have no heat.

the illinois river is expected to crest at 29 feet. since saturday, nearly ten inches of rain has fallen in talaqa, where brian berry lives. >> we normally get 40 inches a year. we got a fourth of that this weekend. it's a crazy year. >> reporter: and a crazy month for the ayers family. they lost power for five days over thanksgiving when another ice storm hit el reno. >> it's starting to get old. oh, definitely. they're trying to do what they can, but it that takes a long time to get this many people p with power. >> reporter: this massive pile is el reno's official dumping ground for folks who live here over the last two ice storms. the residents have brought all the branches and limbs that have fallen on their property and stuck them here, and, jeff, this pile just keeps on growing. >> mark strassmann, thank you. texas bore the brunt of the weekend storms where at least 11 tornadoes were reported.

wintry mix that's going to cause quite a few travel issues. now, the lingering thing, even after this whole storm system moves off shore, we have river flooding that's reaching historic levels. take a look at the scenes we've been tracking around the mississippi valley in particular. we've had very heavy rain in that basin. so the river flood warnings are out across a broad area. some of these crests will be at record levels as we head into the next couple days some, jeff, that's very unusual thing. normally in spring you'd expect mississippi flooding but not in winter. >> eric fisher in boston. eric, thank you. in chicago, outrage after another police shooting. two people were killed over the weekend. police admit the death of one was an accident, but they're not saying exactly what happened inside an apartment building. families of the victims are demanding answers. anna werner is there. >> reporter: police went to this home on chicago's west side early saturday morning after the father of 19-year-old quintonio legrier called to say his son was threatening him and swinging a baseball bat.

has "a penchant for sexism." today the clinton campaign announced the former president would campaign on his wife's behalf starting next week with two stops in new hampshire, the state that in 1992 famously made him -- >> the comeback kid. >> reporter: in most national polls trump either trails clinton or runs neck and neck. trump wants to move ahead and signal to gop voters he's eager to challenge the clinton brand. >> you see hillary. i mean, did you watch that? what happened to her? >> reporter: but in the republican primary, trump is facing his own incoming. today the largest newspaper in new hampshire compared him to biff tannen. >> how do you know where i live? >> reporter: the arrogant, money-grubbing bully from "the back to the future" movies. in an interview with a new hampshire tv station, trump called the publisher, "a low life." >> the paper is failing. he's doing a terrible job. this man is absolutely terrible. >> reporter: and the clinton

statement saying hillary clinton will not be bullied or distracted by the slings trump has thrown at her and the former president. jeff, the campaign called trump's comments demeaning, his policies destructive. >> major garrett, thank you. tonight iraqi troops are on the verge of retaking a key city from isis, a city where americans fought and died during the iraq war. david martin reports on the new battle for ramadi. >> reporter: iraqi soldiers planted their national flag atop ramadi's government center. [gunfire] breaking the death grip isis held over the city just 70 miles west of baghdad. iraqi officials declared ramadi liberated, but u.s. officials cautioned isis still holds neighborhoods in the north and east. that will have to be cleared by house-to-house fighting against snipers and booby traps. fighting has reduced parts of the city to rubble and a return to normal life any time soon is difficult to imagine. still, taking back this city

army which last may had abandoned ramadi in the face of an assault by a much smaller number of isis fighters. it also validated the american strategy of training and equipping iraqi ground troops and backing them up with strikes from the air. a total of 630 in and around ramadi. pentagon officials said the operation was a complex one which required the iraqi army first to encircle the city and then to cross rivers where the bridges had been blown. the american strategy for dislodging isis seems to be gaining traction. but no u.s. official is willing to second the iraqi prime minister's bold claim that 2016 would see the final defeat of isis in iraq. defense secretary carter called the retaking of ramadi's government center a significant step but added, "the fight against isis is far from over." >> david martin tonight.

a slow motion environmental disaster in california where a torrent of methane gas is spewing into the air. thousands have been relocated. mireya villarreal is in porter ranch. >> reporter: this infrared video shows gas rolling off the top of a nearby ridge down into the community of porter ranch. it was shot by a law firm representing several home owners who are now filing lawsuits against southern california's gas utility company. matt pakucko bought his first home in the porter ranch community eight years ago because of the scenic views and his ability to work at home as a music producer. >> i can't work in here. i can't breathe in here. when the wind comes up the hill, the gas comes down here in the fireplace, i can't work. >> reporter: the leak started in october. so far more than 6,500 families have filed for help, but only 2,200 have been relocated. the state agency that monitors air quality estimates nearly 70,000 pounds of gas is being

quarter of the methane emissions in california. so cal gas spokesman mike mizarahi. >> once the leak is stopped, we'll be able to evaluate what caused the leak, and we'll be able to evaluate how much natural gas escaped. >> reporter: to fix the problem, the gas company drilled a relief well nearby, using magnetic technology, workers have located the leaking well more than 3,000 feet below ground. now they have to drill another 5,000 feet where they'll intersect the faulty well and pump it with mud, water and cement to stop the leak. it's made pakucko so sick, he had to move out. frustrating for you? >> beyond frustrating. it's a new way of life now. we can't live in our home. how much worse does it get? >> reporter: the leak is expected to be fixed by march, but, jeff, as a precaution, elementary students that go to two nearby schools will be relocated until that happens. >> all right, mireya, thank you very much.
