Roger Wheeler of Tulsa.  Chairman of Telex. Originally from Massachusetts, he’d become a multi-millionaire and was looking for a good cash cow, which he thought he’d found in  World  Jai Alai, which had frontons in Florida and Connecticut. Little did he know that under a previous president, John Callahan, World Jai Alai had been skimming $10,000 a week from the Hartford parking-lot revenues to pay Whitey and Stevie for “protection” for the Mafia families in New York. Rather than have the skim discovered (which also would have likely meant the indictment of World Jai Alai vice president of security H. Paul Rico, the corrupt ex-FBI agent from Boston), Whitey decided Wheeler would have to go.  The contract first went to Brian Halloran, but that was cancelled, as was Halloran. The assignment was given to more reliable Winter Hill killers, namely lamsters Johnny Martorano and Joe McDonald. Johnny shot Wheeler once between the eyes as he climbed into his Cadillac after a round of golf in Tulsa in 1981. Martorano and Flemmi have pleaded guilty; Rico and McDonald died of natural causes before they could be tried. That leaves one outstanding warrant.

Sergeant Mike Huff of the Tulsa OK police is conducting his own manhunt for Whitey Bulger.  Pay particular attention to the paragraph that begins “White Male….”
