Salemme’s last chance for a new trial was extinguished in March when the US Supreme Court declined to consider his appeal. He spent the remainder of his life behind bars at a federal prison in Missouri.
Witness Protection
In the same year that James “Whitey” Bulger and Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi were both detained, the elder Salemme was accused of racketeering.
Salemme found out that both Flemmi and Bulger were top-tier FBI informants after being convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Salemme therefore agreed to inform the authorities with everything he knew about the two leaders of the Winter Hill Gang. (It was later discovered that Bulger had been residing in hiding in California at the time.)
Salemme was captured in Florida a few months after Bulger, who eluded capture for 16 years before being captured at the age of 81 in Santa Monica, California. Bulger was killed in prison by fellow inmates at the age of 89.
