FBI: No sign of Jimmy Hoffa under New Jersey bridge
DETROIT (AP) — The FBI found no evidence of missing Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa during a search of land under a New Jersey bridge, a spokeswoman said Thursday. The 47-year riddle turned last year to land next to a former landfill under the bridge in Jersey City. “Nothing of evidentiary value was discovered during that search,” said Mara Schneider, an FBI spokeswoman in Detroit. Dan Moldea, a journalist who has written extensively about the Hoffa saga, said he was personally briefed by the FBI in a video conference call Thursday. It has been long speculated that Hoffa, who was 62, was killed by enemies because he was planning a Teamsters comeback.

Walter Sheridan, a former FBI agent and Robert Kennedy aid during the Hoffa investigations, also believed Oswald was a lone gunman. It’s a historical fact.’”However, the committee never tied Hoffa or anyone else to Oswald and the assassination.
