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.

I looked it up on a map after I got the name of a neighbor they interviewed. I grew up and lived at the bottom of the hill from the farm they are searching, I use to hunt on the land that boarders the property they are digging at... Small world.

Oh, yeah, that's a classic, if that's the Shep/J-Lo clip from FNC. I saw that live, and about fell off the couch laughing.

Maybe they'll find Al Capone's vault nearby.Maybe Hoffa is in Capone's vault at Camp Dearborn.

Kuklinski in one bad dude. A stone killer. He took down Roy DeMeo in NYC. DeMeo was the head of the most prolific murder for hire crew in NY since Albert Anastasia's "Murder Inc.". I believe he was finally nailed by a "Donnie Brasco" type FBI undercover agent - thank goodness.
