“Stippo” Rakes, a possible witness in the murder trial of alleged
crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger, has been found dead, authorities
said.
body of Rakes, 59, had “no obvious signs of trauma” and an autopsy is
being performed to determine the cause of death, Middlesex District Attorney
Marian Ryan and Lincoln, Mass., Police Chief Kevin Mooney announced today.

had been on the witness list and had been eager to testify that Bulger threatened his family at
gunpoint and forced him to turn his liquor store into a front for the Winter Hill Gang. But earlier this week
prosecutors informed Rakes he would not be called to testify, a decision that
left Rakes “despondent,” a source close to his family told ABC News.
judge overseeing the Bulger case hunkered down with lawyers in a confidential
conference at the South Boston courthouse today where
the trial is being held. Bulger, alleged to be a notorious and murderous crime
boss and federal informant, is standing trial after being found on the lam in
California two years ago.
prosecutors said Rakes was supposed to testify that Bulger and associate Stephen Flemmi threatened his daughter
at gunpoint, and took over his South Boston liquor store for Bulger’s
headquarters. Bulger sidekick Kevin Weeks testified last week Rakes’ contention

FBI, according to prosecutors and courtroom testimony.

the Rakes family told ABC News that “he had no phone, no wallet, and
police are still looking for his car.” The body of the man found in
Lincoln was positively identified as Rakes this morning after a fingerprint
match, sources said.
longtime friend Steve Davis, whose sister Debbie was allegedly murdered by
Bulger, had met him for breakfast daily before court. Davis said he last saw
Rakes Tuesday in court but then couldn’t reach him all night Tuesday and
yesterday he did not meet him in the courthouse cafeteria for breakfast.

“He was looking forward to taking the stand. He told me over and over he
had a big bombshell to drop. He had everything to live for and was looking
forward to his day in court.”

killed in a drunk driver accident – was devastated by the news.
