Another day, another search for Jimmy Hoffa has begun! This time, authorities are searching outside a suburban Detroit home that a tipster claimed to witness a burial at in 1975. The tipster, who refused to give their name, also saw Hoffa in the area. At this point in time, isn’t it time to just give up on trying to find Hoffa’s body? Clearly those who killed him wanted to make sure that his body was never found so what makes them think he’s not in a cement or brick building, wasn’t fed to lions, or something crazy like that?! Maybe Hoffa really isn’t dead or maybe he really was under the end zone of the old Giants Stadium in NJ? Results from the digging should be in around Wednesday. Read more below.
Police began drilling Friday outside a suburban Detroit home in the search for Jimmy Hoffa, the labor strongman whose disappearance is one of the most notorious and mysterious in U.S. history.
A tipster told police that a body was buried at the spot in Roseville, Michigan, about the time the Teamsters boss disappeared in 1975.
The tipster did not claim it was Hoffa’s body, authorities said.
Police Chief James Berlin said Thursday that while the tipster’s information seems credible, he’s not convinced the body is Hoffa’s because of the timeline. He spoke with the tipster August 22 and believes the person did see a burial.

If Hoffa’s burial had taken place at the spot, it would have been in full view of the neighborhood, the author argued.In September 2001, the FBI found DNA that linked Hoffa to a car that agents suspected was used in his disappearance. In 2004, authorities removed floorboards from a Detroit home to look for traces of blood, as former Teamsters official Frank Sheeran claimed in a biography that he had shot Hoffa. Sheeran died in 2003.Investigators ruled that blood found in the house was not Hoffa’s. The FBI has a sample of his DNA from a hair brush.
