He's not there anymore. I moved him. We may have a problem, I moved him from there too. Crap, who the hell did I move

| I read a book a couple of months ago about a guy who worked with the unions and was present when Hoffa went to his last 'meeting'. He said that the body was taken to a nearby funeral home to be cremated. He also said that moving the body and leaving it whole would just invite the possibility that it could be found, therefore cremation and distribution of the ashes would ensure that the remains would never be found. |

Read that book as well. He was a Hoffa bodyguard - someone Hoffa would trust - so they turned him to lure Hoffa to the final meeting. The thing that got me was where they met. They would meet at your house or my house or some old widows house that visited her son out of town every second Thursday, etc. Some maintenance man or yard man of their aquaintance would know when you are out of town regularly. A crew moves in, sets up the meeting place, cleans up afterwards carefully returning things to their original spots and you come home not knowing anyone had been there. Safer for them than having a routine hang out or meeting joint. Hoffa got popped, hauled off and cremated, his ashes scattered who knows where.........Good book but I can't remember the title. You can probably google it and find it. As for being the truth? Who can tell since most of these guys are scam artists and liars anyway, but at that time in his life I guess he didn't have any reason to keep it hidden. |

That afternoon, according to both accounts, Hoffa left his suburban Detroit home and drove alone in his car to the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township. He expected to be picked up there to go elsewhere for the meeting with Provenzano. Soon afterward, Charles ("Chuckle") O'Brien, 41, pulled into the parking lot. Hoffa apparently got into the car voluntarily. He had good reason to trust O'Brien; the Hoffas had raised him after the death of his father. His mother had been a close friend of Mrs. Hoffa's. Brill reports that also in the car were two of the three musclemen from Tony Pro's New Jersey Teamsters ranks assigned to carry out the killing: Gabriel Briguglio, 36, his brother Salvatore, 47, and Thomas Andretta, 38. Brill, however, does not mention a fourth mobster regarded by the FBI as a prime suspect in the slaying, Thomas Principe. One man sat in the back seat beside Hoffa as O'Brien drove; a second sat in front. During the trip, the thug in back hit Hoffa over the head with some kind of blunt instrument, knocking him out. Traces of Hoffa's blood and hair were found in the back seat of the car. Hoffa may have been strangled in the vehicle. There would have been more blood if he had been shot, evidence that his assailants did not want to leave behind. Or he may have been taken somewhere else and killed. Brill believes that Hoffa's body was later completely destroyed in a large trash shredder, compactor or incinerator—or some combination of all three—at Central Sanitation Services in nearby Hamtramck, Mich. The refuse-disposal company is owned by two Detroit crime figures, Raffael Quasarano and Peter Vitale. |

I think he's under an off ramp on I-275. IIRC, it was being built about that time. I heard from another MI member that doesn't post much here anymore that he's part of I-696. If he was scattered like everyone is saying, he could have been an arfcommer. He got both!! |

The book is "I Heard You Paint Houses: Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran and the Inside Story of the Mafia, the Teamsters, and the Final Ride of Jimmy Hoffa". It's a great book and recognized by many people as the best explanation of Hoffa's disappearance. Supposedly, Scorsese is going to make a movie based on it starring Deniro. I cannot wait to see that movie. |
