Staring blankly into the camera, this is mob boss James 'Whitey' Bulger's mugshot following his arrest after 16 years on the run.
Police in Orange County finally arrested the fugitive on Wednesday alongside his long-term girlfriend Catherine Greig.
Now detectives in California plan to quiz Bulger over claims that he may also be the infamous 'Geezer Bandit'.
An elderly robber who looked remarkably similar to Bulger has never been caught despite carrying out as many as 17 bank raids over the past six years.
Police believe Bulger may have carried out the robberies in Orange County - where he is thought to have kept another secret hideaway apartment - to finance his life on the run.
Although Bulger, 81, is being sent back to Boston to face 19 murder charges, an Orange County police source said detectives would be asking the FBI for permission to question him over the unsolved robberies.
The FBI admitted in 2006 that it was possible Bulger could be the 'Geezer Bandit' but there was never enough evidence to confirm the theory.
One witness was said to have spotted Bulger and Greig at a beauty salon in Orange Country's Fountain Valley at about the same time the first wave of robberies were committed.
