Former Miss Iceland got $2 million reward in Bulger case

  

A former Miss Iceland has claimed the $2million reward for the tip which led to the arrest of fugitive crime boss James 'Whitey' Bulger.

Anna Bjornsdottir, a 57-year-old yoga instructor who starred in 1974's Miss Universe, tipped off police after recognising Bulger, one of America's most wanted people who had been on the run for 16 years, on a television news report.

Bulger, 82, and longtime girlfriend Greig, 60, were arrested in June with a stash of about 30 firearms and $822,000 in cash hidden in the walls of their apartment.
Just days before the arrest, the FBI had launched new televised public service announcements about the pair, aimed at female viewers who might have seen Greig.
To evade authorities, the couple had moved from Boston to California, where they assumed the aliases Charles and Carol Gasko.
