"I know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, absolutely" says Phillip Moscato, Jr. He also says he knows who killed him: mob hitman Salvatore 'Sally Bugs' Briguglio.

"'Sally Bugs' is the one who pulled the trigger in Detroit."

Phil is the son of Hoffa suspect Phillip "Brother" Moscato, Sr., a Genovese crime family powerhouse in New Jersey who died of liver cancer in 2014 at the age of 79. Phil told Fox Nation in an exclusive interview that not only did his father reveal that his close childhood friend and fellow Genovese mobster "Sally Bugs" shot the iconic labor leader, but that his Dad also told him where the body ended up.

Interest in the Hoffa disappearance has been heightened with the release of the Netflix film "The Irishman," which is based on the claim of Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, who claimed he killed Hoffa. I met Sheeran in 2001 and he told me that he shot Hoffa in the head with a .22 caliber handgun, in a house in Detroit.

In 2004 I led the Fox News team that found blood on the floor of that house, in a pattern that matched Sheeran's story. The F.B.I. confirmed that 28 drops that we found on the floorboards were human blood, but the bureau was only able to extract DNA from one sample, and determined that it came from "an unidentified male," not from Hoffa. Authorities deemed Sheeran's story "unfounded."

For years I believed Sheeran, but then the new information emerged about what may have happened. As an investigative journalist, I have to follow every new lead, even those that conflict with my previous findings and contradict my conclusions.　

Phil and others say that Seerhan's story is not just unfounded, but an outright fabrication.

"Frank Sheeran is full of s***", " Phil told Fox Nation. "He doesn't know what he's talking about. It doesn't add up. I'm not here to hurt nobody, but I want the real story to be told for the Hoffa family."

A variety of former law enforcement officials who investigated Hoffa's disappearance have also recently come forward to claim that Sheeran's story is false.

Even the Mafia doesn't buy his tale.

"The man that killed Jimmy Hoffa was Sal Briguglio, he was the triggerman," says former Philadelphia Mob Boss Ralph Natale, whose book is "Last Don Standing," details his days running the Mafia in the city of brotherly love in the 1990's.

Natale told Fox Nation that Sheeran "did nothing. His whole life was a lie. He didn't kill him, not in a million years."

Charles Brandt, the author of Sheeran's biography, "I Heard You Paint Houses," that is the basis for the film, and the book's publisher Chip Fleischer stand by Sheeran, who died in 2003. Brandt has denied that Sheeran fabricated his story to sell a book, telling Fox Nation that Sheeran did it. "It is the law of confession, the law of corroboration and it's satisfied over and over again," he said.

Phil hopes his information will help prosecutors find Hoffa's remains, so that the case can be finally put to rest and the Hoffa family can have some solace. Hoffa's son James P. Hoffa is the current president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and his daughter Barbara is a retired judge in St. Louis, Missouri.
