Freddy Geas, eyed in ‘Whitey’ Bulger’s killing, ‘hated rats’

“Freddy hated rats,” said McDonough, using the slang for criminal informants. McDonough had become friendly with Geas while working for him as an investigator.

“Freddy hated guys who abused women. Whitey was a rat who killed women. It’s probably that simple,” McDonough said.
