Why do these tips always lead back to Jersey?
Is it easy digging there?
I know MI has a lot of clay ground...not fun digging.

Hope there's enough in the BBB budget to cover this needless search.

^^^ They want to give him a proper burial.


"The latest tip came during a deathbed confession from a worker who said Hoffa was buried in a steel drum 15 feet below ground there"

Dang....that's a lot of shoveling!

Easy digging in the Meadowlands but lots and lots of forest too. Jersey isn't known for forests so easy to hide stuff. I prefer some cement and a lake.

Jimmy Hoffa had major notoriety. They would have burnt him to a crisp.

I am interested in what happened to him out of morbid curiosity, but I would not contribute a dime to finding him.

After reading this book twice, I buy the story his body was immediately incinerated in the Detroit area.

Sounds like a story that gadfly pseudo-journalist Geraldo Rivera may chase down in an attempt to revive his moribund career.

Cheers

I dint know Hoffa was prez of the UAW???? I always thought it was the Teamsters Union.

My cozins wife was Hoffa's secretary...after Hoffa went to FED pen..she became Teamsters Union attorney Bill Bufalino's legal secretary..his Uncle was Russel Bufalino..a real patriarch of a PA family.

When Jimmy disappeared CBS sent I think Dan Rather to report on it from Detroit..while doing his segment on the evening news he was standing in front of a Cadillac in the Teamsters Union parking lot with personalized NV license plates..I knew that car.. it belonged to my Great Uncle and Aunt.

My cozins wife said 3 things about Hoffa

1. He was genuinely for the rank and file..

2. He tested at genius IQ level

3. At the trial where he was convicted..he thought he knew more than his attorneys.. and didn't listen to their advice.

Her testimony before Congress was "I take the 5th"


Hoffa was out when he went to prison, Fitzsimions was in and got in bed with the family's, Hoffa gets out and wants back in...no body wants him back..Fitz dont wana give it up , to much attention is on Hoffa and the family's don't want the aggravation of having to deal with Jimmy. they got it real good with ole Fitz..So Jimmy takes a dirt nap. Problem with Jimmy is solved.
