Police will take a soil sample from beneath a driveway in Roseville, Michigan, on Friday in the hopes of solving the Jimmy Hoffa mystery, reports the Detroit Free Press. An unidentified tipster says the former Teamster boss might have been buried there after he went missing in 1975. Authorities have gone on several wild goose chases before, notes CNN, but the latest tip struck them as genuine.

I doubt Hoffa is buried under a driveway. We are surrounded by 94,250 square miles of open water that is hundreds of feet deep, why bury a body where it might be found when you can dump it off any boat where it will never be found. Lake Huron is 700'+ deep, Lake Michigan 900'+ and Lake Superior 1300'+ Lake Ontario 800'+, with Lake Erie being much shallower at only 200'+. None of which could be searched fully.

Yep, sure he is...sounds like someone needs to have a driveway ripped up and wants it done for free?

I think he was put in the Soup at Hoffa's Soup Company on Michigan Ave near Detroit. A long time ago I was traveling to Detroit and saw a Soup company named Hoffa.

After reading the book "I heard you paint houses" I'm fairly certain Hoffa was cremated in Detroit a few blocks from the house in which he was killed shortly after his death. I found it a very compelling book based on the first hand account of one of Hoffa's closest associates, Frank Sheeran.

That is the best way to get rid of a body...or so I've heard.
