It’s one of the most enduring mysteries in American history. What happened to labor leader Jimmy Hoffa? The FBI believes Hoffa was murdered by mobsters back in 1975, in part because of what he knew about the mob in Las Vegas.
Now, someone has stepped forward to tell what really happened on the day Hoffa disappeared. The man who’s talking says he’s the person who pulled the trigger.
Go ahead, make our day and post your comments.
Perhaps, whatever is left over from the mafia, they could smoke out the illegals and help get this area cleaned up, legally.

This story has been disproven. Frank Sheeran was lying. The FBI did DNA tests on the floorboards on the house where Sheeran says James R. Hoffa was shot and the DNA did not match. This was done quite some time ago. The story is bogus and just another pathetic attempt to capitalize on tragedy suffered by the friends and family of James R. Hoffa. Don’t give Sheeran or the author any credibility.

As titillating as the story of Hoffa and the mob is, the bigger story is that Hoffa delivered $500,000 to Attorney General Mitchell. Perhaps it is well known already, but this is the first I have heard. This is the worst type of corruption. A free and fair government cannot persist if it is for sale. How can it be respected? Why should a citizenry heed the law when the lawmakers and those sworn to uphold it are the lawbreakers? We know Jimmy Hoffa was a crook. We know Nixon and staff broke the law. But I guess I never thought that even in the Nixon administration, that payoffs could be business as usual; no different than social parasite crime bosses.

Former FBI officals and other investigators believe Frank Sheeran’s account. I wonder where “Barbara” recieved her information from.
Charles Brandt and the investigators he has worked with have gone to great lengths to verify Frank Sheerans claims and also the information about the cremation ovens and the cemetery where they are housed.
Just because the FBI reports say that the Blood found in the house was not Hoffa’s does not mean he wasn’t killed there. Frank Sheeran was telling the truth.

my father killed Jimmy Hoffa in 1975, july on a very hot day. I was there. It was in Flushing, Mi at a vacant lot. I will go crazy if no one will talk to me. He told me before he died and I remember that day. Industrial, near the waste water plant off of seymour rd. Central Michigan railroad and seymour and industrial make 3 fingers, like a a pledge. Like a girl scout pledge. He was a demolitions expert in the war (II) and one should be careful if investigating. there’s a gate on the road, or there was 30 years ago. Look to the right side of the gate. Look for a stone, brick or stump. Thank you. Good Luck.
