Author Believes He Has Found Jimmy Hoffa's Burial Site
 [Weasel Zippers] Detroit ‐ A Washington, D.C.-based author believes he has located the burial site of Jimmy Hoffa, 44 years after the Teamsters boss disappeared in Metro Detroit.Dan Moldea, author of the book "The Hoffa Wars," said he spent the last year in New Jersey uncovering the last stop of Hoffa’s journey, which he says is a 53-acre dump site in Jersey City. "This is the best lead I’ve seen on this case in 44 years," said Moldea, who began investigating Hoffa’s fate as a graduate student at Kent State University in Ohio. Hoffa was president of the Teamsters union from 1957 to 1971, the last four years while serving a prison sentence for fraud and jury tampering. Federal investigators believe he was killed by mob bosses because he wanted to recapture the union presidency he lost while in prison. Hoffa vanished from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township in July 1975. From there, Moldea says, Hoffa was taken to a location in Detroit, where he was murdered, placed in a 55-gallon drum, loaded onto a Gateway Transportation truck, then driven to New Jersey.
