Detroit Man Says He Can Reveal Where Jimmy Hoffa Is Buried

[Zakeet]

Word is that now the Democrats need his vote in a different precinct.

[pgkdan]

Who cares. One dead mobbed up union boss was just a good start.

[Red Badger]

This has turned into a ‘Where’s Waldo’ farce.....................

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat....



Weekly/biweekly Michigan legislative action thread

He’s in Al Capone’s vault.

[Obadiah]

But, can he tell us where Richard Trumpka should go??

[V_TWIN]

“Zerilli also wants a payday. He’s working on a book and has a web site”

That explains it right there.

Without remains verified by DNA this is just another geraldo Al Capone’s vaults.

[MestaMachine]

Hell?

[Daus]

There is probably a dead mobster in EVERY field in the Detroit suburbs... Better have some DNA.

[kosciusko51]

Unintentionally humorous line:

“All this speculation about where he is and he’s not," Zerilli said. "They say he was in a meat grinder. It’s all baloney."

No one cares, he’s not even a punchline any more.

[cripplecreek]

Actually there are probably more dead mobsters outside of Detroit. The old timers around here have stories.

Remembering Imogene Coca in "Vacation" after learning the dog peed on the sandwiches - shrugs shoulders, keeps eating.

There's the mob ~ pretty much a modern invention, with plenty of Sicilianos and Italianos, and even African-Americans and so forth. Then there's the REALLY REALLY old, and original mob stretched out along the Mississippi River and it's major tributaries ~ and including Detroit ~ and environs.

It's called the Union Corse ~ and they are still there, even in Western Tennessee, Cincy, Pittsburgh ~ Detroit, Toronto, and so forth. Many of the old old families have married into the newer families so it's hard to tell who is who.

Detroit's suburbs are certainly a burial ground for mobsters all the way back to the beginnings of the fur trade.

“... I feel very, very bad about it and it should never have happened to Jim Hoffa. He didn’t deserve what happened to him.”

Yes he did. And his loud-mouthed, punk bastard, fat-assed son deserves a head shot, too.

[cripplecreek]

The prohibition era gangs were pretty rough. Even Capone chose to deal with the Purple gang rather than go to war with them. The Purples self destructed due to infighting among themselves.

One of my great grandfather did some smuggling for the purples in Detroit but was a low level guy who didn’t see or know anything....ever.

[Ouderkirk]

out of his arse, not a hat...

Jimmy Hoffa is liquid by now.

[Mich Patriot]

“I’m dead broke. I got no money,” Zerilli told NBC 4 New York. “My quality of life is zero.”

Sniff...that's so sad...NOT! Dry up and die already, ya f#cking old crook. Seriously, a mob guy wants sympathy because his life is sh!t? Sheesh. How many lives did THEY ruin?

[Milton Miteybad]

From the linked article:

Quiet until now, Zerilli says he wants to set the record straight about his life -- and what happened to Hoffa.

Zerilli denies ever being in the mafia or having anything to do with the disappearance of Hoffa.

"What happened to Hoffa had nothing to do with me in any way, shape or form,” Zerilli said.







OK...this joker says he was never in the Mafia, and further says that he had nothing whatsoever to do with Hoffa's disappearance. Hoffa's disappearance had nothing to do with him in any way, he says.

If true, then how could he have any firsthand knowledge that would serve to resolve the questions surrounding Hoffa's whereabouts? Is he trying to peddle some second-hand hearsay to a gullible audience, while he still has a chance to cash in on it, perhaps?
