Dennis O'Callaghan
| This is the late Dennis O’Callaghan in 1990, when he was the number-two agent in the Boston FBI office. He was speaking at gangster Zip Connolly’s farewell dinner at Joe Tecce’s. Zip and Dennis were fast friends. O’Callaghan was once suspended for five days for interfering in an internal probe of how Zip obtained Red Sox tickets from a local radio station (not WRKO). On Dec. 20, 1994, just as Whitey was about to be indicted, O’Callaghan spent 21 minutes talking on the phone to Zip. On Dec. 22, O’Callaghan, who loved to brag of his Irish roots in County Cork, was officially informed that Whitey would be indicted, and a day later, Zip called the FBI office. An hour or so later after speaking to someone in the bureau, Zip drove to Southie to warn Whitey that he was about to be arrested. The serial-killing cocaine dealer immediately fled, and has now been a fugitive for almost 10 years. Kevin Weeks testified that O’Callaghan was the source of the information that allowed Whitey to flee. On the witness stand, O’Callaghan denied it. At the occasion of his crooked friend’s retirement, O’Callaghan scoured Zip’s personnel file for some interesting tidbits. Check out the video clip below to see O’Callaghan read a couple from the letters he found, as the camera pans over to Whitey’s brother, Billy. |
