Search for Jimmy Hoffa may have new lead, expert has best tip ever in search for grave

DETROIT — Could new evidence solve once and for all the mystery of Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance?

A leading Hoffa expert, author Dan Moldea, says yes.

Moldea said a former New Jersey landfill known as “Brother Moscato’s Dump” may hold the grave of the former Teamsters boss, who disappeared from a Bloomfield Township, Mich., restaurant on July 30, 1975.

Moldea has been covering Hoffa since before he disappeared and wrote the book “The Hoffa Wars” in 1978, based on dozens of interviews with key figures in the case. He said a new lead brings together the correct cast of characters, the right timeline of events and information from other interviews he has done in his decades of researching the case.

On one hand he was corrupt as hell but on the other I've heard more than one old time union guy wax nostalgic about him.

The rumor was he was thrown into the processing equipment for sausage at a meat processing plant.

Who knows or cares at this point...lol.
