Jimmy Hoffa's body found?

I heard on the news this morning that they think they have found Jimmy Hoffa's body. It apparently was buried under a storage unit in a residential area. Tests will be run to confirm it is or is not.

I am not making this up.

Yeah, I saw something this weekend about it, but haven't heard any more.

Thanks for posting this, so as to open the subject. Can anything positive and Earth shattering come from it? Probably not, but I still think it's interesting to follow.

Sure would deflate the legend if he was buried under a tuff shed somewhere in Michigan...

The Giants endzone story has way more curb appeal...


Wouldn't want Hoffa to be reduced to this...
Grandpa's in the Tuff Shed (1998) - IMDb

Frozen Dead Guy Days - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lived very close to Nederland for a number of years, those people are whacked...

It would be nice to know what actually happened. There are so many conflicting "true accounts" that I'd like to know why people would make up these stories.

Sheesh, I could have went all day without being reminded of that idiot....Geraldo I mean.

I would submit that the continuing success of Geraldo and Oprah Winfrey are proof of BC's contention that the majority of people in this country are DB's and/or morons.

JH became part of a road construction project - buried in cement since he disappeared.

He to me represented a differant period in time compared to today. You have to wonder what led them to dig there? If they were told where to dig the killers may be identified.

The killer or killers are pretty well dead of old age perhaps already. Or the location for whatever reasons may have been given as a deathbed type of statement by one of them.

The worse senario is it was the accidental discovery of a buried body. If that is the case it probably is not Hoffas.

To me it is also amazing that so much fuss was originally created by no recovered body.There was no indication he was living up here in Canada with Elvis either. Although his power extended up into Canada.

I worked for an american owned organised crime type of american union for about four years. They collected the dues up here in Canada but did little to nothing for the members.
