An unsolved mystery solved???

Maybe. Acting on a "tip," the FBI might be on the verge of solving one of the most notorious disappearances in history. In 1967, Teamsters Union boss, Jimmy Hoffa, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for jury tampering and fraud. But, while in prison, he first refused to give up his presidency of the union. Later though, probably on a deal, Hoffa gave up his union presidency and was immediately pardoned by President Nixon (1971). But, in 1975, Hoffa "vanished" without a trace.

Now, over 30 years later, a "tip" has led the FBI to a Michigan farm ... and boy are they digging the place up:

Their digging in the wrong place. In fact, he's not even dead.

I'm Jimmy Hoffa.

Daniel Roberts, agent in charge of the Detroit FBI field office, would not disclose what led agents to the farm, but said: "This is probably a fairly credible lead. You can gather that from the number of people out here."

Nice to know with all the crime that's need solving they are wasting men and resources on something that happened 30 years ago. Iss this really necessary? Most of the people involved are probably deceased or getting close to it. I can see if it's just a couple of agents as 1 or 2 but itsounds if it's quite a few more than that. They would be serving us the public better by putting the resources towards current problems like maybe... terrorists...

Hmm... Anyone else feel like this whole Jimmy Hoffa thing borders on the whole ELVIS sitings?????

actually, Jimmy Hoffa, Elvis Presley, and D.B. Cooper have a little 3-piece lounge act in a semi-swanky club in downtown Havana.

Hoffa went straight into a cremetory.

Elvis is dead and buried for a long time, although he did roll over in his grave when his daughter married Michel Jackson.

And I thought that D.B. Coopers' brother in law ratted him out?
