I am a thirty year retired Teamster. I was just joining the Teamsters when Jimmy met his fate. I do know that many Teamsters respected Jimmy and felt the union was better off under his control. Many of us did not have the same feeling about James P. Hoffa.
I had always suspected a mob controlled crematory. A lot of people have been looking for a very long time. If the body had not been destroyed you would think that something would have turned up.
Interesting article that has creedence. If ever they find Hoffa's remains ( do not think that will ever happen) they can waste more money looking for Jimmy Buffets lost shaker of salt.
At this point, except to maybe give his children closure, all of the players are either dead or dam close to being dead total waste of money and man power imo...

I finished reading "I Heard You Paint Houses" not too long ago, and I believe it went down exactly as the informant (Frank Sheeran) says: Hoffa got in the car because he trusted both Sheeran (who killed him) and his foster son Chuckie O'Brien (who acted innocent because he was--he knew nothing about the hit). Hoffa walked into the home and, when people who were supposed to be there weren't, quickly turned to leave and was immediately shot by Sheeran. It was fast and clean. His body wasn't buried anywhere, either, it was cremated--all arranged by a nearby funeral home.
Memo to authorites: You can stop looking for Hoffa now.
Even the author or admits his witness/stated killer left and he only heard what happened supposedly to body. Its apparent the FBI doesn't believe it. Its a case of I heard from so and so who heard it from so and so that he a was cremated. Not convincing when you consider he was selling a book really that its the last word. Personally I could careless where his bones or dust ended up.
The only thing "heard from so-and-so" is what happened to the body. That's not unusual, either. These hits often "employ" people whose job it is to perform one part, then move on (one reason that using women, who can kill, would never work in these operations--lol we'd need to know exactly what happened what was going to happen, etc.) As far as the killing, itself, goes, Sheeran has long admitted that he's the one who shot Hoffa. The fact that the FBI doesn't believe it (and continues to dig up people's farms and back yards) is of no significance whatsoever.
I'm sure that, personally, you couldn't care less about his remains; I doubt that's true for his family, though.

I read the book too and while one could say Sheeran made it all up, it seems to credible.
And I do believe Hoffa (despite his big mouth) was careful and would not have gotten in a car unless Sheeran, whom he trusted, was there.
And that's how the mob works - you usually get it from someone you know and trust - at least if you are important.
