It all started, and ended, on this day 41 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 maroon 1975 Mercury in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. and climbed in.
He was never seen again.
The FBI has expended countless resources in the ensuing decades in the hopes of finally solving this enduring American mystery with no success.
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.

Wow! So that’s how Biden got his big start!
Are you sure it was that house? IIRC a few houses have been suggested as possible crime scenes. I have seen one documentary which stated dismissively that the blood couldn't be traced to Hoffa. What wasn't said was that the blood was so degraded that it couldn't trace to anyone.
Sheeran's story about Hoffa seems pretty credible, the rest of book, not so. Given the situation at the time, the Gallo Brothers wouldn't have let someone known in mob circles to do wet work and a known associate of Russell Bufalino within a mile of them. Sheeran was well-known in underworld circles and easily recognizable due to his size. I highly doubt the Joey Gallo story.
“I read the book, I Heard You Paint Houses. Very credible for a low-grade criminal. Scorcese is making a movie about it.”
Really good book. Glad it’s Scorcese making the movie: it might actually be good.
Just like every other jailed mobster wishing to be in the news. The latest being Anthony Zerilli who led the FBI on yet another goose chase back in 2013 by claiming Hoffa was buried in a field in Oakland County.......LOL!
All they uncovered was night crawlers which they didn't even have the common sense to sell to fishermen in order to offset the cost of the excavation project.............
Oh yeah. Had forgotten about that, but yes, young Biden was an operator.
Coming back now...there was supposed to be a neg story on Biden in the papers Sat before election day, and Sheeran/Mob/Union made sure the papers weren’t delivered.

You’re depending on a TV show for facts?
The Hoffa plugger helped Plugs?
Have not heard that before.
No less reliable than the source YOU'RE relying on or any other testimony from all the previous mobsters who have claimed to know the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa........Including the latest by Anthony Zerilli....(Post #44).......
Was hidden on the Edmund Fitzgerald in Whitefish Bay ........ < /sarcasm>
Show me the bones from the source YOU'RE accepting as fact then maybe we can talk............LOL!
They should check Hoffa’s server for clues.
It’s because America only has 11 aircraft carriers in the active fleet now.
Sheehan has been caught in way too many lies. Most students of the Hoffa murder don’t buy his story(s)
You notice slick that I did not make ANY claims about any of the
Hoffa conjectures. YOU however know that the house in the above story
is wrong because you saw a TV show.
You are dismissed.
Who refers to pi as “nearly 3.2?” ;)
Let me elaborate a little bit... it just struck me that there’s this hackneyed opening, with a generalized modifier to a pretty specific citation. It just reads so oddly.
Sort of like, “It was a dark and stormy night. Nearly 1.17 inches of rain had already fallen...”
Wow. I never knew all of this. Guess I have to get the book too before the movie comes out. Interesting Biden connection.
Hoffa should have called shotgun...oh, nevermind.
“nearly 92 degrees”....
So Hoffa was killed by global warming...so sad!
