Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa subject of new Detroit search

EnglishLady · Sep 27, 2012

Police are to search outside a home in Detroit, Michigan, for remains of a union boss whose disappearance 37 years ago has never been solved.

Jimmy Hoffa, of the Teamsters union, was last seen on 30 July 1975 outside a restaurant in a Detroit suburb, where he was due to meet a New Jersey union leader and local mafia boss.

Police said they had been informed a body was buried under the driveway.

But their tipster did not say if it was Hoffa's body that was interred there.

Police say they are looking for a body but play down suggestions that Hoffa could be buried there, citing timeline discrepancies.

Despite many searches over the years, Hoffa's body has never been found.

His body will never be found.
Anybody that thinks differently is fooling themselves.

Actually I think its all rather confusing ....

They reckon they are searching for Hoffer but the tipster didn't say if it was Hoffa

Any coverup theories floating aound. All I remember about Mr. Hoffa was when he said strike, the truckers struck. He had lots of power, maybe some was good and some was not so good. When he died or turned up missing, truck strikes went out the window and all is great today......................

Nope.

The mob killed him and had his body disposed of by ways we will never know.

You have no idea how closely related this and the Idaho fish finger story really are.

Turtle kinda beat me to it.

I would still like to sugest a fishing derby at Priest Lake in Idaho.

If they want to find Hoffa they should just stake out polling places on election day. He'll be somewhere voting democrat along with various associates.

Really! A man was murdered by mafioso, and you make a crack like that! Have you no shame!

A man heavily involved with the mafioso was killed by his rivals within the mafiaso. It's so common that it borders on the cliché.

True, no dispute there.

But to equate this crime with Democratic voters is unconsciencable.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the statement equated Hoffa with actually still being alive, not with any crime. On the other hand, if you want to equate a crime with the statement, the Democrat's historical penchant for allowing dead people to vote might be a good place to start.

Oy, such a stickler for details.
