No Hoffa Remains Yet in Barn Site Excavation
After tearing apart a barn, FBI agents began digging up the ground where it stood, taking photos and video and sifting through dirt by hand as they searched for Jimmy Hoffa’s remains at a suburban Detroit farm not far from where the former Teamsters chief vanished in 1975.
After a backhoe dug a hole at the site, FBI agents and crime-scene investigators jumped in to take pictures and comb through the soil. At one point, two cadaver dogs were sent into the hole. But after seven hours of digging, FBI spokeswoman Dawn Clenney said nothing significant was found.
“Much ado about nothing,” Clenney said. She said the search was expected to continue through the Memorial Day weekend.
