Lt. Joesph Lundbaum

 

BPD Detective Joe Lundbohm, left, long before he was convicted of  federal crimes and sent to prison. He was  released  in 1991.

Det. Joe Lundbohm was the uncle of Julie Rakes, the co-owner of the South Boston liquor store Whitey extorted from her husband, Stippo Rakes. Julie wanted to tell Uncle Joe what had happened, but Stippo warned her against it. She went ahead and told him anyway, and to help out his niece Lundbohm went to, of all places, the Boston FBI office. He told Zip Connolly, who told… well, you know who Zip went to. Stippo had to beg for his life when Whitey came to visit. A few years later, Lundbohm was convicted of aiding two gambling businesses and was sentenced to six months in prison. Now 73, his Bureau of Prisons ID number was 17227-038.
