PULASKI SKYWAY

The decadeslong odyssey to find the remains of former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa apparently has turned to land near a former New Jersey landfill that sits below an elevated highway.

After going missing 46 years ago from Bloomfield Township, the search for Teamsters Union boss Jimmy Hoffa has been reinvigorated with a new lead.

DETROIT — The nearly half-century-old search for Jimmy Hoffa’s body led FBI agents from the Detroit office to focus on a former landfill beneath the Pulaski Skyway in Jersey City, The New York Times reported. The latest tip came during a deathbed confession from a worker who said Hoffa was buried in a steel drum 15 feet below ground there, the report stated. As was the case with the Jersey City investigation in October, those tips often involved probes at alleged burial sites. In Michigan most recently, authorities came up short during excavations at properties both in Roseville near Detroit in 2012 and Hampton Township in Bay County in 2003.
