Interesting that "new leads" always precede a new book. ;)
Unfortunately, Mr. Hoffa has achieved immortal status more for where he may be than his work with the Union.
If it is true that Hoffa was killed it is really a testament of the ability of certain folk/s to disappear a person very proficiently. It would also follow that if those responsible are still alive a little satisfaction crosses their face/s with every red-herring.
I thought the same thing.Quote:

I always heard that he was embedded in the end zone grandstand of the stadium in East Rutherford, NJ where the NY Giants play.
I always heard it was the endzone. A couple of years ago the Mythbusters took a ground radar and swept both end-zones and some of the stands looking for pockets where he could be buried, and found nothing.Quote:

If I remember correctly, they were pouring cement 24/7 back then for the RenCen foundations
Conspiracy theory here: GM needs some excavation work done, expensive to do.
So start a rumor that Hoffa is under there, digging starts, nothing found. Excavation free.
Remember the horse barn in Milford......
Funnily enough my brother interviewed Danny DeVito @ a junket this year & took that up with him, De Vito waved his hand dismissively & said "I flew to Detroit w/David Mamet, drove out there & we saw it[[grimaces)...I wasn't going to end my movie in a boring Michigan parking lot!"Quote:

Spoken like a true outsider.
I don't think that's going to happen because that someone is probably dead now too.Quote:

I doubt it actually has anything to do with the case, but I saw it about a year ago and dammit I wish I took a picture of it [[I had my camera with me, too) :D
""Hoffa was here! '79" Coincidentally, it's within viewing range of a security camera down that same hall"
There were more than a few friends that used to do that all over town. We thought it was funny; Hoffa was gaining iconic status at the time and "tagging it" was something some bored kids did. Perhaps that's what happened.
This is not a "new" theory. I heard about this version of events back in '96, from the son of a construction worker who did roof work on the RenCen. But I always figured that if it were true, it wouldn't matter anyway. How would you find his body in a huge foundation like that one?
[[I think it's my neighbour!!

A public figure of that stature was not buried anywhere. The "Mob" during that era held a lot of power and influence and wasn't that dumb. I'm sure the body was properly disposed of.
