The idea that ex-union boss Jimmy Hoffa is buried under what was once Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands has been one of New Jersey’s enduring themes ever since he disappeared in 1975 while the stadium was under construction.
But now it appears that the mystery surrounding Hoffa’s disappearance may be solved hundreds of miles west:
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that police will take soil samples under a driveway in Roseville, Mich. on Friday after radar showed “an anomaly” there.
We have to wait and see what happens, but I’ve always thought that the simplest answer to Hoffa’s fate lie in Michigan, which is where he disappeared in the first place.
There was even a Mythbusters TV episode that threw cold water on the Meadowlands idea.
But police are cautioning not to make assumptions that this is the end, either:
Police say the timeline doesn’t quite add up.
For his family’s sake, ending the mystery would be a good thing. The uncertainty has been no joking matter for them. No one thinks that Hoffa, who would turn 100 in February, is still alive.
