I read recently that Hoffa was shot in the back of the head in the front foyer of a house after leaving a union meeting with a disloyal associate.
His body was then cremated.
The supposed house where he was murdered was recently investigated where they found blood between the floor boards.

He was killed in Michigan. The Boys would not take a stiff to NY.

The FBI essentially had the correct name? And they couldn’t crack this case? Between this and their political activities I’d say it’s way past time to shut this circus down.

Is this new information? I reviewed the Wikipedia list of suspects and found this information which was reported in 2011 about Lynn Doyle Cooper:

"The FBI announced that no fingerprints had been found on a guitar strap made by L.D. Cooper.[139] One week later, they added that his DNA did not match the partial DNA profile obtained from the hijacker's tie, but acknowledged, once again, that there is no certainty that the hijacker was the source of the organic material obtained from the tie."

Citation 139: Jump up ^ McNerthney, Casey (August 1, 2011). "No fingerprints found on item in D.B. Cooper case". seattlepi.com. Retrieved August 2, 2011.

If someone was buried whole in concrete, eventually they would decay and there would be a cavity, which would eventually collapse upon itself.

And it sounds too elaborate to have been a real plan. The old classics work the best. In a century or so, when the name "Jimmy Hoffa" means nothing, the Ren Cen will probably be demolished, and they'll have to sort out which of the mob-buried remains are his.

Yes, there's a tiny little cavity, surrounded by curing concrete - concrete that will continue to cure for a couple of hundred years. As the sealed remains decay, the concrete will wick out the water over a long period of time. The concrete doesn't and won't collapse upon itself.

During large concrete pours, pains are taken to ensure no foreign debris enters the mix, like a scrap of wood, for instance.

You may be right, but I do know it is not an ideal situation for the integrity of a structure to have something so large as a dead body buried within its concrete.

Lots of care, apart from when the Mob wants to bury a body where no one will ever be able to look during the length of a human lifetime.

That article says the FBI tested LD Cooper’s DNA against the dna sample they took from his tie that was left behind and it didn’t match.

Adding to an old FR Article since this is from the National Enquirer. The deceased man ( Robert W. Rackstraw Sr.) is on the list of ten people who Might be DB Cooper:

From National Enquirer:

D.B. Cooper Mystery Man Found Dead!
Suspected 1971 hijacker took secrets to the grave.

By National ENQUIRER Staff
Jul 29, 2019 @ 14:00PM

The former military man suspected of being infamous hijacker D.B. Cooper has died — taking the secret of his true identity to the grave!

Some senior FBI agents thought Robert W. Rackstraw Sr. — a U.S. Army veteran and paratrooper who closely resembled the police sketch of the culprit — was the parachuting thief who in 1971 jumped from a plane over Washington state with $200,000 in ransom money, according to sources.

But it wasn’t until 2016 that Rackstraw was fingered by a team of codebreakers and 40 investigators as the man who pulled off history’s most daring heist!

Now, in a world exclusive, The National ENQUIRER can reveal Rackstraw — who died in his San Diego condominium on July 9 — was known as “Mr. Cooper” at a marina where he’d dock a small yacht.

“Everyone would refer to him as Mr. Cooper. He even had a nickname, Airborne Bob, from some of the guys!” a source snitched.

“He was always boastful that nobody could prove anything!”

Though the feds ultimately ruled him out as a suspect, independent investigators said cryptic coding in a 47-year-old letter sent by Cooper to a newspaper proved the hijacker was Rackstraw!

“The fact that code from Rackstraw’s three military units — two of them secret until the late 1980s — were embedded in the letter makes this the smoking gun!” declared filmmaker Thomas Colbert, leader of the sleuths who claimed they unraveled the mystery.

Colbert believes Rackstraw’s dispatch was directed at three co-conspirators who — according to FBI documents and witnesses — helped him escape.
