The 30-second ad is scheduled to start running Tuesday in 14 television markets.(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) BOSTON (AP)--Federal officials in Boston say a tip led the FBI to begin surveillance on former mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger's apartment in Santa Monica, Calif., Wednesday afternoon. The FBI finally caught the 81-year-old Bulger and longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig later that day. Bulger had been on the run for 16 years. U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz says the pair were using the aliases Charles and Carol Gasko. The arrests come just days after the government launched a publicity campaign to locate the fugitive crime boss by circulating pictures of Greig on daytime TV and on billboards. The FBI says the tip came from that campaign. Federal officials say Bulger was arrested without incident.
