Breaking News: FBI Searches Wooded Area for Hoffa
By Cheryl Chodun
Web produced by Seth Myers
May 17, 2006

A group of FBI investigators is searching a wooded area in the vicinity of Milford and Wixom in connection with the 1975 disappearance of Teamsters’ leader Jimmy Hoffa.

Investigators have cordoned off a section of woods where the bones of the long-missing union official may lie.

Hoffa was last seen at the Mocas Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township in July 1975.

Speculation regarding his whereabouts – or his body’s whereabouts – certainly comes and goes.

Recently, a mob hitman named Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski wrote a book claiming that Hoffa’s body was compacted in a car that became scrap metal in New Jersey.

Kuklinski died in prison earlier this year. His book, The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer, is set to be published in July.

In 2004, investigators searched a Detroit home when another mobster claimed Hoffa was killed there. Investigators ruled blood found in the house was not Hoffa’s.

Going on now. Maybe they'll find Al Capone's vault nearby.

I remember some poor FOX NEWS reporter hyperventilating a few years ago about some obscure Detroit house where Hoffa's remains supposedly were.

I think Hoffa's last words were the same as Tommy DeVito's: "Oh, no!"

"There's a slab of pavement in the wooded area?"

I used to have an office only several miles from where they are now searching. It was built at the time Hoffa disappeared. There was a body sized stain under the rug that would disappear after a special cleaning, only to reappear several months later. I had to have it cleaned several times. I called it "Jimmy"
