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 don't know about finding Hoffa....... but here's betting the "Stillers" have a great chance at another Super Bowl next year.

Good fishing ............to you.

Looking for Jimmy Hoffa is a huge waste of money. He's dead, and good riddance. Reminds me of the old joke -- most people don't like to hit their heads against a wall because it hurts, while others like to do it because it feels so good when it stops.

Maybe they'll find Al Capone's vault nearby.

That was my first thought. Great minds...
