It all began, and ended, on this day 43 years ago.
It was a hot July afternoon, nearly 92 degrees, when Teamsters president and labor icon Jimmy Hoffa is said to have opened the rear door of a 1975 maroon Mercury in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant, in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and climbed in.
But I believe, based on my 2004 investigation, that Frank Sheeran did it.
"Suspects Outside of Michigan: Francis Joseph "Frank" Sheeran, age 43, president local 326, Wilmington, Delaware. Resides in Philadelphia and is known associate of Russel Bufalino, La Cosa Nostra Chief, Eastern Pennsylvania," reads the 1976 HOFFEX memo, the compilation of everything investigators knew about Hoffa's disappearance that was prepared for a high level, secret conference at FBI headquarters six months after he vanished.
Sheeran, known as "The Irishman," told me that he drove with Hoffa to a nearby house where he shot him twice in the back of the head. Our investigation subsequently yielded the corroboration, the suspected blood evidence on the hardwood floor and down the hallway of that house, that supports Frank's story.
No one who has ever boasted about knowing what really happened to Jimmy Hoffa has had their claims tested, scrutinized, and then corroborated by independently discovered evidence... except Frank.
He is also the only one of the FBI's dozen suspects who has ever come forward and talked publicly about the killing, let alone admit involvement.
Every other claim that you have ever heard about, from Hoffa being buried in the end zone of Giants Stadium to being entombed under a strip of highway asphalt somewhere, came from people who were never on the bureau's list of people suspected of actual involvement.
For that reason, Frank stands alone.
Six weeks after Hoffa disappeared, Frank, along with...

What did Hoffa do to piss off Hillary all those years ago?
>>>in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant<<<
He should have gone to The Red Hen restaurant.
He was popped, and the body went into the foundation of the Ren Cen. Thanks re_tail20.
I think Frank Sheeran was also the bankroll behind Slo Joe Biden.
“Six weeks after Hoffa disappeared, Frank, along with the other suspects, was summoned before the Detroit grand jury investigating the case. He took the Fifth”.
I know it’s legal but I’ve never understood the ability for someone to ‘take the fifth’. I mean if there is an investigation and you plead the fifth on the basis of being incriminated yourself doesn’t that defeat any ongoing investigation? How is it the person guilty is able to excuse themselves from the law by having this ‘right’. ? It makes no sense to me.
To the law: I’m the murderer but I’m not going to fess up? Huh?
De Niro’s making a film about this. I can’t wait to NOT see it.
De Niro’s dead to me. He sleeps with the fishes.
I have no idea but I could believe it’s true. What do I know about Jimmy Hoffa.
But if I were Jimmy Hoffa and had dealings with the mob and they did not want me to run again for president of the union I would not.
Because of a scene like this one.
I like the back of my head.
The prosecutors have to prove their case; you can’t be forced to help them.
De Niro is NOT dead. He was supposed to sleep with the fish, but when the fish saw who it was they gathered and threw him OUT of the water. Pollution you know, and it is where they live.
The Founding Fathers probably felt it necessary to try and eliminate any thought of using the time honored British investigatory Plan B, torture ‘em till they confess. In today’s Britain a suspect is allowed to reply “No Comment”. But not in the old days.
Even having Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel in it will not convince me to see a DeNiro movie.
Good book.
If the police could force people to testify against themselves, then the police get lazy and rely almost totally on confessions to 'solve' crimes. Then they begin to use torture to get the confessions. See, Communist Russia, National Socialist Germany, Cuba, Iran, Communist China, etc., etc.
Yes Beowulf9. I scanned the article, and no where (unless I missed it) do I see reference to the Mob not asking him to run. Love to know if they asked him not too, the way they roll my guess is they only ask you once.
Also the restaurant is now Andiamo's a local high end Italian chain, and the food is amazing. At one point they had pictures in it from back in the day ( celebrities etc, black and white you know the drill ) and some of the old wait staff ( probably dead by now ) were their that night and were not afraid to talk about it.
Because the right to protect yourself is as true with words as it is with a rifle.
In the past you had to prove your innocence. That is kind of hard to do.
The framers did not want anyone have to help the government put themselves in jail.
He promised not to run as a condition of Nixon’s pardon. The mob was probably told it would not be a good thing for Hoffa to be seen as lying to Nixon. As funny as that sounds.
“His story is this: He and others were ordered by the Mafia to kill Hoffa to prevent him from trying to run again for the presidency of the Teamsters union”.
Sixteenth paragraph down.
Thanks, I did not know that. I do remember back then Labor was Pro-Nixon especially the Teamsters, and Pro-American, and do you remember the “Hard Hat Rebellion”? when construction workers beeotch slapped ( that is putting it mildly ) hippie maggots because they had had enough?...
Thanks, I need to slow down....
