DETROIT - FBI Director Robert Mueller said Tuesday the decades-old disappearance of Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa will eventually be solved.
Mueller spoke during a question-and-answer session with reporters at the FBI's Detroit office, months after an expensive search at a southeastern Michigan horse farm turned up nothing.
"We have a long, long memory," Mueller said. "We will continue to follow any lead that comes to our attention."
Hoffa was last seen alive on July 30, 1975. Over the years, theories have suggested Hoffa was buried at Giants Stadium in New Jersey or dumped in a Florida swamp.
The day he disappeared, Hoffa was scheduled to meet a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit mafia captain, both of whom are now dead, at a restaurant about 20 miles from the Hidden Dreams horse farm that the FBI searched in May.
The two-week excavation at the farm, about 30 miles northwest of Detroit, involved up to 20 agents, 24-hour guards, archaeologists, anthropologists, a demolition crew and cadaver-sniffing dogs, but it yielded nothing more than a water line, a beer can and other trash.
FBI spokeswoman Dawn Clenney said the search cost less than the $250,000 the agency had budgeted for it.
Mueller would not comment on whether the FBI has any new leads in Hoffa's disappearance, but said the agency will always be working on the case.
"As you can see from the undertakings last summer, we are very willing to follow up on any leads where we believe there is some basis," Mueller said.
Good. Maybe after that they can start working on those leads about a potential attack on the World Trade Center.
I hear there is some stuff about anthrax that will be investigated no later than 2023.
"Solved" is a relative term here.
When the FBI, through investigation and interviews, solves the case, it's "solved".
When some elderly gumbah finally fesses up on his deathbed, it's "discovered".
Since Jimmy Hoffa cannot be found now, it's obvious he never existed. /WMD tie-in.
Good point.
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Find John Doe number from OK or do we have him already?
Yep, he's sleeping with Big Pussy.
Your post was my first reacton..and who gives a
rats arce? We've got Iraq shoved down our throat
day after day, people are shopping for the Holidays,
and gasoline is sneaking back up around $3. per
gallon..so when are they going to invstigate the
Lindbergh baby killing? Geez..the more newshawks
sit around and think up this crapola..the more it
hits the fans...get over it.. JK
If tax dollars are being spent on this nonsense, it is just one more thing on a long list of government waste.
One can only hope the FBI solves this case before the perps join Hoffa.
They need to listen to Coast to Coast. Some guy called in a few nights ago and said that he worked with a guy who hadworked for one of those car crushing companies. He was called in after hours to crush a green Pontiac that had Hoffa's body in it. Sure enough, shortly after telling this guy the secret, the guy who ran the crusher was killed in an "accident". And here's the twist: the truck that hit the guy was from his old employer - the car crushing company!!!
Well anyway, it was a good story at 3 AM....
Darn, that was working a minute ago. Anyway, it was the Bloom County cartoon featuring Milo Bloom trying to find out if Senator Bedfellow killed Jimmy Hoffa. It's at http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6674/1214/1600/BloomCountyLooseTailsHoffapg87top.jpg
Actually, they did.
He was in a hospital, in Jersey City.
He was in the maternity ward, organizing labor.
heard from old Teamster ...
""We have a long, long memory,""
Vince Foster says hello, from the memory hole.
It said I wasn't allowed to view that one. My favorite Bloom County cartoon was 'Liberal Hunting'.
