FBI searches for Jimmy Hoffa’s body in New Jersey landfill after deathbed tip

FBI confirms search for the Teamster boss, who disappeared in July 1975, had begun again after a 2020 deathbed tip from landfill worker

A half-century American fixation on the whereabouts of the remains of International Brotherhood of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa has finally led investigators to a landfill in New Jersey.

The area of suspicion is on a Little League diamond on the landfill beneath the General Pulaski Skyway, a three-mile bridge that arches over a cinematically criminal evocative expanse of industrial wasteland and marshes west of Manhattan - one that once featured in marketing for the Sopranos TV show.
