The FBI said it found no trace of Jimmy Hoffa’s body after digging up a suburban Detroit horse farm in one of the most intensive searches in decades for the former Teamsters boss.
The two-week search involved dozens of FBI agents, along with anthropologists, archaeologists, cadaver-sniffing dogs and a demolition crew that took apart a barn.
Louis Fischetti, supervisory agent with the Detroit FBI, said the tip that led agents to the farm was the best federal authorities had received since 1976.
