Live by the sword and die by it.
he’s buried under the old Giants Stadium, which is now the parking lot of the new Metlife Stadium....
BTW- i clicked on the article and saw some guy passed out on a couch- is that hoffa?
He’s a hot dog Jim.
The house painter got him.
Surprised he was not wearing a suit. Hollywood has taught me mob bosses were immaculately dressed in public. I don’t believe the pics.
Wouldn’t the obvious suspects be supporters of the person who took his place as union leader?
I want to the story to see the pic and it was not there. Is that what clickbait is?
Hoffa. Teamster Union. Corrupt. Arrogant. Playing footsie with the Mafia. Everything you would expect a Union Thug to be. Then he disappeared, no trace of him, body never found. Probably in the end zone of Giant's Stadium. Mystery to this day. LAST OPENED: 01/15/2004|MythBuster Episode
And, I regret to say, that is it for me. But am I wrong? If I am missing the key context, I would like to know what that is.
Our brains are pretty amazing, but I do sometimes feel I just cannot fit one more thing into. But...it always seems to find more room. So, the name of "Jimmy Hoffa" sits on a shelf in my brain, gathering dust, until a door to a long dormant and darkened room, is opened and "Jimmy Hoffa" gets the dust blown off it.
And opening it I see:
Hoffa. Teamster Union. Corrupt. Arrogant. Playing footsie with the Mafia. Everything you would expect a Union Thug to be. Then he disappeared, no trace of him, body never found. Probably in the end zone of Giant's Stadium. Last photos of Hoffa were found. Mystery to this day. LAST OPENED: 07/29/2004|Last Pictures of Hoffa before death
What happened to Jimmy is obvious.
He got paroled from prison. Part of the parole required that Jimmy was no longer allowed to participate in teamster union politics, no longer seek office in the union. Of course, first thing Jimmy does is decide he wanted his old leadership position back.
The mob didnt want Jimmy back. They were perfectly happy with Jimmys replacement, Frank Fitzsimmons. Frank wasnt a showboating, publicity hound. The mob just doesnt like attracting unwanted attention. Plus, Fitzsimmons was far more corrupt than Hoffa. Even Hoffa said no to some of the mobs schemes every now and then. Frank never said no.
The mob tried talking Hoffa out of seeking his old office. But Hoffa ignored them. They tried bribing Hoffa to back off with a multi million dollar pension, but Hoffa still said no. That was it. Hoffa signed his own death warrant when he turned down their gerenerous pension package. If Hoffa was going to turn down millions, there was no way to talk him out of running for union office. So, Hoffa had to go.
The idea that they buried him at the location of the then still being built giants stadium is ludicrous on the face of it. Transporting Hoffas body half way across the country? Too risky. The mob has never done that to any of their victims. Chances are they transported his body to a local funeral home in town, cremated the body, and scattered the ashes to the winds.
I know a morbid subject, but hard to believe it’s been 50 years.

I’ve heard a convincing rumor that he’s alive and well, underwent plastic surgery, was living comfortably in Argentina, but passed away about ten years ago.
