Site Searched for Clues to Hoffa’s Whereabouts
The FBI searched property northwest of Detroit for clues to the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, officials said. TV newscasts showed people with shovels and freshly turned dirt at the site.
The Teamsters leader was last seen in July 1975 at a restaurant in Oakland County’s Bloomfield Township.
Agent Dawn Clenney, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Detroit, said the bureau was executing a search warrant in Milford Township, about 35 miles from Detroit.
Investigators are looking for “evidence of criminal activity that may have occurred under previous ownership” on the property, Clenney said. Asked if they were looking for Hoffa’s remains, she said, “Could be,” but declined to comment further.
