What is this, the Gay Club -- I mean the Glee Club?

Fvckin’ Big Idiots.

They couldn’t solve candy taken from a baby with eyewitnesses and VIDEO FOOTAGE.

My dad’s take from Michigan, back when: Murdered. Trunk of car. Car crusher. One of the auto recycling furnaces in Deeetroit.

Michael Franzese, who is probably about as credible as anybody coming out of that world, made comments in an interview regarding Hoffa, “He’s wet,” with the obvious implication he had been disposed of in water.

Look at the timing on this. The FIB got this lead from Ashley Biden’s diary. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The Big Guy was getting his 10% even in 1975.

Or the people involved in his death and disappearance were also involved in the sanitation business.

Just like Tony Soprano

Without a body it’s just a missing person

These guys look like the same bunch that infiltrated another gathering of conservatives.

[House Atreides]

Lol — Good one.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Machus Red Fox had a special on Hoffa Burgers back in the day. Any subsequent search is in vain.

[Hot Tabasco]

I can’t picture Hoffa’s dead body being transported from Bloomfield, MI, all the way to NJ......

[mad_as_he$$]

Well at least the FBI is not out violating the rights of that parents school board meetings.

Send in Whorealdo!

[Redcitizen]

I like your dads take on the subject. Sounds entirely plausible and good way to get rid of the evidence.

[Clutch Martin]

Bob Newhart knew where Hoffa disappeared to, not murdered as supposed but discovered during the autopsy of Tammy Faye Bakker after make up removal.

[Clutch Martin]

Right, quick easy, unrecognizably fragmented crushed and incinerated. Probably turned back into U.S. Steel back in those days. Union man, all the way. I wonder if he went with a fight or just whacked. Quick and easy both apply to a whack.

Large amounts of Mario Puzo has seriously affected me over time.

In New Jersey around 1975 that's not as implausible as you think. But I doubt the people doing the asking were as unknown as the story suggests. And the request may have come with a handful of cash, or just an "understanding".

I understand for NJ area murders but Hoffa disappeared in Michigan. After transporting Hoffa's carcass across half a dozen states, would some random landfill worker be approached and asked to bury a barrel and then be told that the barrel contained the remains of Jimmy Hoffa?
