James ‘Whitey’ Bulger Captured, Catherine Greig, the longtime girlfriend of mobster James “Whitey” Bulger, stared straight ahead and didn’t turn to look as the brother of a woman allegedly killed by Bulger called her a “monster” for helping Bulger evade capture for more than 16 years.

Greig, 60, pleaded guilty Wednesday to helping Bulger evade authorities while they were on the run together.

Three sisters of Paul McGonagle leave a plea hearing for Catherine Greig, the longtime girlfriend of reputed Boston mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger, outside the Federal Courthouse in Boston, Wednesday afternoon, March 14, 2012. Paul McGonagle is alleged to have been one of the 19 murders Bulger is accused of committing.

In a plea agreement with prosecutors, Greig pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to harbor a fugitive, identity fraud and conspiracy to commit identity fraud.

Bulger, who was captured with Greig last year in Santa Monica, Calif., has pleaded not guilty to charges of participating in 19 murders. His trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 5.

Steven Davis, whose 26-year-old sister, Debra Davis, was allegedly killed by Bulger, said Greig denied the families of Bulger’s victims their opportunity to get justice for more than 16 years.

“This woman, she’s not what she appears to be. She’s a monster,” Davis said during a victim impact statement.

“She kept him in hiding for all that time,” he said.
