1:03 · some of you know I'm going to be in
1:05 · Detroit this weekend Detroit area I'm
1:07 · going to be appearing at the Andiamo
1:09 · Showroom on Saturday February 18th this
1:11 · coming Saturday I think tickets are
1:13 · still on sale Andiamo showroom.com and
1:16 · then on Monday I'm going to be doing a
1:18 · wine tasting at their Andiamo restaurant
1:20 · in Bloomfield Michigan now why is that
1:24 · significant well let me tell you why
1:26 · before anybody knew this couple of weeks
1:28 · ago somebody got in touch with me about
1:31 · the Hoffa killing the Hoffa
1:33 · disappearance where the hafa body is
1:35 · buried this was before this was even set
1:38 · up right and as some of you know I said
1:40 · I have some information regarding the
1:43 · Hoffa disappearance I want to make this
1:45 · very clear okay I do not know where the
1:48 · body is but I do have information that I
1:50 · believe to be incredible I've been
1:52 · sitting on it for several years I've
1:54 · mentioned it before but for me unless
1:56 · you find the body what's the sense of
1:58 · talking about it's just another story
2:00 · and as you're going to hear today there
2:02 · have been nine locations that people
2:05 · have said they knew that Hoffa's body
2:08 · was buried in and every one of them have
2:10 · come up empty well I never wanted to
2:12 · bring this story forward because I don't
2:14 · want to be number 10 I won't be number
2:15 · 10 I have nothing to gain and I'm not
2:17 · going to look foolish and I'm not going
2:18 · to waste people's time with respect to
2:20 · that but this other party came to me
2:22 · with some information that he's very
2:25 · definite about about the location of the
2:28 · body and when he told me it kind of fit
2:31 · with information that I had and I said
2:33 · to him look I'm not going on down on
2:35 · this unless you're willing to take a lie
2:37 · detector test and I'll provide the
2:40 · technician to do that I want to know if
2:42 · you're telling the truth he said
2:43 · absolutely 100 no problem I've heard
2:45 · from him a couple of times he sounds
2:47 · very definite I haven't checked it out I
2:49 · am going to be meeting him on a Saturday
2:52 · when I do get down to the Detroit area
2:54 · to Warren and we'll see what happens you
2:56 · know not making any promises I don't
2:58 · know who knows but the reason I'm
3:00 · bringing this up is again coincidentally
3:02 · I'm going to be in that area this
3:04 · weekend but the uh the Bloomfield on
3:07 · Monday where I'm going to be Andiamo
3:09 · restaurant in Bloomfield happens to be
3:12 · the last site that
3:14 · um hafa was seen at it was at that time
3:17 · was the Marcus Red Fox restaurant
3:19 · Andiamo bought that and now they're that
3:23 · at that location there in Bloomfield
3:24 · that's where I'm going to be Monday
3:25 · night to do a wine tasting you know that
3:28 · you know frenzy swine looking forward to
3:30 · it because the ownership there is great
3:31 · they have 25 restaurants all around so
3:33 · that's why this whole story fits in and
3:37 · um you know another thing I've been
3:39 · speaking all over the world for the past
3:41 · 25 years and when I open it up for a q a
3:45 · which I'll be doing Saturday and
3:47 · probably on Monday too in Bloomfield
3:48 · when I open it up first three questions
3:50 · you can always is rely on number one
3:52 · where's all your money buried you know
3:54 · from the gas business number two did you
3:57 · ever kill anybody don't like the
3:59 · question but I always get it and number
4:01 · three where was Jimmy Hoffa buried I
4:04 · heard that in Singapore Malaysia
4:06 · Bulgaria Australia and just about every
4:10 · city across the United States and I get
4:12 · it online all the time do you know where
4:13 · Jimmy Hoff is buried it's probably the
4:16 · most fascinating uh unresolved murder in
4:19 · the history of the United States for
4:21 · sure but it's gone worldwide so today
4:23 · I'm going to talk about the nine
4:25 · locations that have been identified in
4:28 · the past by various people as to where
4:30 · half a body was buried every one of them
4:33 · have come up empty obviously but let's
4:34 · go through them it's kind of fun and uh
4:37 · you know I'll make my comments along the
4:38 · way and we'll see where it goes number
4:41 · one Gardena California now let me debunk
4:44 · that right away let me tell you why he
4:47 · was last seen in Bloomfield Michigan at
4:50 · that restaurant where I'm going to be on
4:52 · Monday night
4:53 · there's no way that anybody's going to
4:56 · kill somebody there and transport a body
4:58 · all the way across the country remember
5:00 · you know it used to be especially in
5:03 · state cases in order to be convicted of
5:04 · murder you got to have a body Federal
5:07 · racketeering cases no more somebody
5:09 · could just say hey I saw him you know I
5:11 · was with him he told me and you can
5:14 · convict somebody for murder racketeering
5:16 · murder that could be one of the uh the
5:18 · charges that counts uh without having a
5:20 · body but before you needed to have a
5:23 · body there's no way anybody with a brain
5:25 · is going to transport a body across
5:27 · country you want to get away from that
5:29 · body ASAP trust me on that so this was
5:33 · silly but anyway as the search for the
5:35 · vanished taffa got underway in Michigan
5:37 · after his 1975 appearance and early
5:40 · Theory regarding his fate cropped up
5:42 · thousands of miles away on the west
5:44 · coast when rumors surfaced that hafeem
5:47 · may have been involved in an acrimonious
5:48 · negotiation with a Gardena businessman
5:51 · conspiracy swirl that Hoffa had been
5:54 · murdered and buried in the foundation of
5:56 · a nearby Poker Club and restaurant in
5:59 · Southern California ridiculous it
6:01 · remained a local legend for decades all
6:03 · it was was a legend until the property
6:06 · was brought up by magazine publisher
6:07 · Larry Flynt you know who he is he fully
6:10 · excavated and reopened as a casino in
6:13 · 2000 so that was debunked but it was
6:16 · ridiculous from the start anybody that
6:18 · believed it was out of their mind number
6:20 · two Hampton Michigan okay we're in
6:22 · Michigan the 2013 search wasn't the
6:26 · first or even the fifth time
6:28 · investigators have targeted Michigan in
6:30 · the hunt for Hoffa makes the most sense
6:32 · he was last seen in Bloomfield Michigan
6:34 · where I'm going to be Monday night at
6:36 · the Andiamo there's no way he's going to
6:39 · appear in another state it just doesn't
6:40 · make sense to me you know I know you
6:43 · want to get away from the body ASAP
6:45 · trust me you don't want to have it in
6:47 · your car you don't want to be driving
6:48 · across country driving to another state
6:50 · you want to get away from that body ASAP
6:53 · you don't want anybody to identify you
6:55 · with it suppose you're driving in a car
6:57 · and you get stopped by the cops you get
6:59 · into an accident the body's in the trunk
7:00 · in the back seat you're dead at that
7:02 · point how are you going to explain it
7:04 · let's say you found it on the street of
7:06 · course not it's ridiculous you want to
7:08 · get rid of that body ASAP I know it's
7:10 · probably a bit presumptuous to rule out
7:12 · the entire Wolverine state of course as
7:15 · the likely location of Hoppers remains
7:17 · several spots have already received a
7:20 · thorough going over in 2003 following a
7:23 · tip investigators dug up the backyard
7:26 · pool in Hampton's thumb neighborhood in
7:29 · search of either Hoffa or evidence
7:31 · regarding his death I remember that
7:33 · specifically
7:35 · a briefcase supposedly to have contained
7:38 · a medical syringe and pharmaceutical
7:40 · material used to kill Hoffa the search
7:43 · turned up nothing but dirt so there
7:45 · again somebody gave a tip I know where
7:48 · the body is I know where this stuff is
7:49 · the FBI follows it up they go through a
7:52 · whole process nothing happened why are
7:54 · people doing this why are they saying
7:56 · this if they don't know
7:58 · maybe they have a book coming out maybe
8:00 · they want publicity maybe they want
8:02 · their name out there for some reason but
8:04 · man why would you do that it makes no
8:06 · sense
8:07 · number three Bloomfield Michigan now
8:10 · again that's the last place he was seen
8:11 · at the Marcus Red Fox restaurant now the
8:15 · Andiamo where I'm going to be Monday
8:16 · night a year later in 2004 the FBI was
8:19 · at it again this time in a Suburban
8:21 · Detroit home once owned by one of
8:23 · Hoffa's erstwhile Friends Frank Sheeran
8:26 · you know who sheerhan is the movie the
8:29 · Irishman a great movie obviously but
8:32 · totally false sheer hand was not
8:34 · involved in the murder of Jimmy Hoffa
8:36 · nor was he involved in the murder of
8:38 · Joey Gallo that's depicted in the movie
8:40 · it's not true it's been debunked by law
8:43 · enforcement and by many other ways it's
8:45 · just not true
8:46 · shearhand who claimed that he had
8:48 · murdered half himself after the two men
8:50 · at his severe falling out claimed to
8:52 · have committed the murder in his
8:54 · Bloomfield home search teams descended
8:57 · on the house and did find traces of
8:59 · blood but medical examiners stated they
9:02 · weren't from Hoffa again it was a bump
9:04 · steer I don't know why shahan said that
9:06 · but he did have a book and later a movie
9:08 · probably made some money that's why they
9:10 · do it number four Milford Michigan we're
9:13 · staying in Michigan now a seemingly
9:15 · promising lead sent the FBI to a horse
9:17 · farm located northwest of Detroit the
9:21 · FED spent more than two weeks digging at
9:23 · that site in May 2006 before Calling it
9:26 · Quits I remember they had bulldozers and
9:28 · everything else the FBI normally
9:30 · closed-lipped about the ongoing
9:32 · investigations stated they may not have
9:34 · located Hoffa's body but believed that
9:37 · it may have been buried there before
9:39 · being moved elsewhere was it buried
9:42 · there before and then moved I don't
9:44 · think so again that doesn't make sense
9:47 · why would they go and try to you know
9:49 · dig up the body again you're going to
9:51 · say well maybe they knew somebody was
9:53 · going to tell them maybe one of the
9:55 · informants doesn't make sense to me I
9:57 · don't know anybody in my former life
10:00 · that I that would have done anything
10:01 · like that doesn't make sense number five
10:04 · Roseville Michigan just 10 months before
10:07 · the July 2013 investigation the FBI
10:10 · received yet another michigan-based tip
10:12 · that Hoffa had been buried beneath a
10:15 · backyard shed in Roseville when sonar of
10:18 · the site revealed abnormalities in the
10:20 · soil composition now they can do sonar
10:22 · to try to locate something or to see if
10:24 · there's something underneath the soil
10:26 · they decided to drill for samples once
10:29 · again no evidence of Hoffa's remains
10:31 · turned up that's five times that we know
10:34 · of number six giant Stadium this I knew
10:37 · right off the bat wasn't true the most
10:40 · popular urban legend associated with
10:42 · Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance is that he
10:44 · was buried beneath the football stadium
10:46 · at the spoiling Meadowlands complex in
10:49 · East Rutherford look during my time in a
10:52 · life we talked about the Hoffa deal I
10:54 · heard about things we know right off the
10:57 · bat we laughed about it there's no way
10:59 · it was in giant stadium in East
11:00 · Rutherford New Jersey the idea was first
11:02 · floated by mob Hitman Donald Tony the
11:05 · Greek Franco's in an interview with
11:07 · Playboy magazine in 1989. Francos an
11:11 · informant who turned States witness
11:12 · insisted he had no personal involvement
11:15 · with the murder but had been told that
11:17 · two other Jersey Wise Guys were
11:19 · responsible for the murder dismemberment
11:21 · and eventual burial of Hoffa's body
11:24 · beneath one of the Stadium's end zones
11:26 · Federal officials and half his own
11:28 · family voiced their suspicions over
11:30 · Franco's story and they should people
11:33 · let me tell you something okay I've been
11:35 · to trial five times shot through several
11:37 · of my father's I've been around this so
11:40 · often not every time but so often
11:43 · informants just lie they just lie
11:45 · ingratiate themselves with the
11:47 · government give stories out they just
11:49 · lie to get what they want to get in the
11:51 · end and this was an absolute lie if he
11:54 · says he heard that I don't even know if
11:56 · he did you know who knows what his
11:58 · motivation was probably trying to get a
12:00 · as good a deal from the government as he
12:02 · possibly can you know so he makes up
12:04 · this story supporters of the theory
12:06 · noted that Hoffa did disappear while the
12:08 · complex was under construction and his
12:10 · last known public meeting was with
12:12 · reputed New Jersey Crime Boss Anthony
12:14 · Tony Pro provenzano who Franco's
12:17 · insisted had himself ordered the hit on
12:19 · Hoffa not true Tony Pro is not a boss
12:22 · and he couldn't order a hit on anyone
12:24 · look during my era in this life and I
12:27 · always want to make it clear during my
12:29 · time in that life the only way somebody
12:32 · can murder somebody the order had to
12:34 · come from the boss that's it you
12:36 · couldn't randomly go kill somebody even
12:39 · if you were a competition a soldier
12:40 · couldn't do it it had to be ordered and
12:43 · approved and sanctioned by the boss Tony
12:45 · Pro is not a boss and I know the order
12:48 · did not come from him that much I do
12:50 · know tell you that straight out did not
12:53 · come from Tony Pro and that you can go
12:55 · uh go to the banquet
12:57 · without a doubt the giant Stadium theory
13:00 · was put to rest in 2010 when the
13:02 · building was demolished to make way for
13:05 · a new sports complex all right that's
13:06 · the sixth uh burial place that was
13:09 · debunked number seven Jersey City New
13:11 · Jersey recent Michigan may have cornered
13:14 · the market in half a Mania but the
13:16 · Garden State isn't far behind in fact
13:18 · more than 200 FBI agents have been
13:20 · assigned to the case over the past 38
13:22 · years 200 agents most of them in
13:25 · Michigan and New Jersey just weeks after
13:27 · Hoffa's disappearance the FBI began
13:29 · surveillance on a Jersey City Landfill
13:32 · situated near the Hackensack River based
13:35 · on an anonymous tip that Hoffa had been
13:37 · buried there in a 55-pound drum they
13:40 · soon called off the search but it was
13:42 · resurrected decades later and in 2022
13:45 · the FBI announced it came up empty there
13:48 · again doesn't make sense that they would
13:50 · transport the body why would they do it
13:52 · this was a planned hit on Hoffa they had
13:55 · to set up a meeting at the Marcus Red
13:57 · Fox restaurant again the restaurant now
14:00 · Andiamo that I'll be at Monday night for
14:02 · the wine tasting this was arranged they
14:04 · knew in advance what they were going to
14:05 · do with this body why did they want to
14:07 · take it to Jersey why drive it in the
14:09 · car all the way to Jersey it's a long
14:11 · drive Anything Could Happen along the
14:13 · way you don't want to be caught with a
14:15 · body that doesn't make sense I'm sorry I
14:18 · would have never done that I'm not
14:20 · saying I killed anybody but I'm just
14:21 · saying I would have never done that
14:22 · doesn't make sense you don't want to
14:24 · stay with the body and this last one is
14:27 · the craziest of all or one of the
14:28 · craziest the Florida Everglades in 1982
14:32 · another mob Hitman Charles Allen claimed
14:35 · that he had the inside scoop of what
14:37 · really happened to Hoffa who knows what
14:39 · his motive was did he have a book was he
14:41 · gaining in some way making any money
14:43 · testifying before U.S Senate committee
14:45 · investigating Anthony provenzano and
14:48 · other organized crime leaders Allen said
14:50 · that Hoffa had been shot and killed
14:52 · shortly after his disappearance I
14:54 · believe that makes sense with his body
14:57 · later wound up dumped in a steel drum
15:00 · and brought down to Florida where it was
15:02 · dumped unceremoniously in a nearby swamp
15:06 · again why would they do that what is
15:09 · Michigan not big enough they can't find
15:11 · this spot in Michigan could have found
15:12 · any spot and they're away from the body
15:14 · so who cares at that point makes no
15:17 · sense that this would be in Florida
15:18 · ridiculous shortly after testifying aled
15:21 · entered the witness protection program
15:23 · of course which didn't stop him from
15:25 · granting interviews with reporters to
15:27 · further press his claim what did he have
15:29 · to gain why is he now going on you know
15:31 · getting interviews he had to have some
15:33 · motive maybe he he wanted the attention
15:35 · maybe he had a book coming out I don't
15:37 · know the federal government however was
15:39 · doubtful noting Allen's credibility
15:41 · problem and eagerness to sell his
15:44 · salacious story to the highest bidder
15:46 · all right he was looking for profit the
15:48 · same year Allen testified before
15:50 · Congress Jimmy Hoffa was declared
15:52 · legally dead another crazy story so
15:55 · there you have it nine spots that the
15:57 · FBI went through the trouble of
15:58 · investigating and what happened came up
16:01 · empty each time so like I said I believe
16:03 · I have credible information I don't say
16:06 · that I know where the body is this other
16:08 · fellow does say that gonna give him a
16:10 · lie detector test going to go through
16:12 · the route we'll see what happens at that
16:13 · point in time but I can tell you right
16:15 · now people I'm not going to be number
16:17 · 10. that's not going to happen anyway
16:19 · you know again I'll just say it once
16:21 · more I hope I see some of you in um
16:23 · uh in Warren this this weekend February
16:27 · 18th Warren Michigan the Andiamo
16:29 · showroom Andiamo showroom.com I think
16:31 · there's some tickets available we'll
16:33 · have a great time did it last year and
16:35 · then Monday I'll be at the Andiamo in
16:37 · Bloomfield again he has 25 restaurants
16:39 · Joe and that's the site where Jimmy
16:42 · Hoffa was last seen in that restaurant
16:44 · so come and join us we're going to do
16:46 · wine tasting I'll be telling some
16:48 · stories probably do a q a I got some
16:50 · books there we're gonna have a good time
16:51 · so that's my Jimmy Hoffa deal for now
16:53 · that's it how do I always leave you same
16:56 · way be safe be healthy God bless every
16:59 · one of you yes see you next time thank
17:02 · you
17:03 · [Music]

2:02	·	have been nine locations that people
2:05	·	have said they knew that Hoffa's body
2:08	·	was buried in and every one of them have
2:10	·	come up empty well I never wanted to
2:12	·	bring this story forward because I don't
2:14	·	want to be number 10 I won't be number
2:15	·	10 I have nothing to gain and I'm not
2:17	·	going to look foolish and I'm not going
2:18	·	to waste people's time with respect to
2:20	·	that but this other party came to me
2:22	·	with some information that he's very
2:25	·	definite about about the location of the
2:28	·	body and when he told me it kind of fit
2:31	·	with information that I had and I said
2:33	·	to him look I'm not going on down on
2:35	·	this unless you're willing to take a lie
2:37	·	detector test and I'll provide the
2:40	·	technician to do that I want to know if
2:42	·	you're telling the truth he said
2:43	·	absolutely 100 no problem I've heard
2:45	·	from him a couple of times he sounds
2:47	·	very definite I haven't checked it out I
2:49	·	am going to be meeting him on a Saturday
2:52	·	when I do get down to the Detroit area
2:54	·	to Warren and we'll see what happens you
2:56	·	know not making any promises I don't
2:58	·	know who knows but the reason I'm
3:00	·	bringing this up is again coincidentally
3:02	·	I'm going to be in that area this
3:04	·	weekend but the uh the Bloomfield on
3:07	·	Monday where I'm going to be Andiamo
3:09	·	restaurant in Bloomfield happens to be
3:12	·	the last site that
3:14	·	um hafa was seen at it was at that time
3:17	·	was the Marcus Red Fox restaurant
3:19	·	Andiamo bought that and now they're that
3:23	·	at that location there in Bloomfield
3:24	·	that's where I'm going to be Monday
3:25	·	night to do a wine tasting you know that
3:28	·	you know frenzy swine looking forward to
3:30	·	it because the ownership there is great
3:31	·	they have 25 restaurants all around so
3:33	·	that's why this whole story fits in and
3:37	·	um you know another thing I've been
3:39	·	speaking all over the world for the past
3:41	·	25 years and when I open it up for a q a
3:45	·	which I'll be doing Saturday and
3:47	·	probably on Monday too in Bloomfield
3:48	·	when I open it up first three questions
3:50	·	you can always is rely on number one
3:52	·	where's all your money buried you know
3:54	·	from the gas business number two did you
3:57	·	ever kill anybody don't like the
3:59	·	question but I always get it and number
4:01	·	three where was Jimmy Hoffa buried I
4:04	·	heard that in Singapore Malaysia
4:06	·	Bulgaria Australia and just about every
4:10	·	city across the United States and I get
4:12	·	it online all the time do you know where
4:13	·	Jimmy Hoff is buried it's probably the
4:16	·	most fascinating uh unresolved murder in
4:19	·	the history of the United States for
4:21	·	sure but it's gone worldwide so today
4:23	·	I'm going to talk about the nine
4:25	·	locations that have been identified in
4:28	·	the past by various people as to where
4:30	·	half a body was buried every one of them
4:33	·	have come up empty obviously but let's
4:34	·	go through them it's kind of fun and uh
4:37	·	you know I'll make my comments along the
4:38	·	way and we'll see where it goes number
4:41	·	one Gardena California now let me debunk
4:44	·	that right away let me tell you why he
4:47	·	was last seen in Bloomfield Michigan at
4:50	·	that restaurant where I'm going to be on
4:52	·	Monday night
4:53	·	there's no way that anybody's going to
4:56	·	kill somebody there and transport a body
4:58	·	all the way across the country remember
5:00	·	you know it used to be especially in
5:03	·	state cases in order to be convicted of
5:04	·	murder you got to have a body Federal
5:07	·	racketeering cases no more somebody
5:09	·	could just say hey I saw him you know I
5:11	·	was with him he told me and you can
5:14	·	convict somebody for murder racketeering
5:16	·	murder that could be one of the uh the
5:18	·	charges that counts uh without having a
5:20	·	body but before you needed to have a
5:23	·	body there's no way anybody with a brain
5:25	·	is going to transport a body across
5:27	·	country you want to get away from that
5:29	·	body ASAP trust me on that so this was
5:33	·	silly but anyway as the search for the
5:35	·	vanished taffa got underway in Michigan
5:37	·	after his 1975 appearance and early
5:40	·	Theory regarding his fate cropped up
5:42	·	thousands of miles away on the west
5:44	·	coast when rumors surfaced that hafeem
5:47	·	may have been involved in an acrimonious
5:48	·	negotiation with a Gardena businessman
5:51	·	conspiracy swirl that Hoffa had been
5:54	·	murdered and buried in the foundation of
5:56	·	a nearby Poker Club and restaurant in
5:59	·	Southern California ridiculous it
6:01	·	remained a local legend for decades all
6:03	·	it was was a legend until the property
6:06	·	was brought up by magazine publisher
6:07	·	Larry Flynt you know who he is he fully
6:10	·	excavated and reopened as a casino in
6:13	·	2000 so that was debunked but it was
6:16	·	ridiculous from the start anybody that
6:18	·	believed it was out of their mind number
6:20	·	two Hampton Michigan okay we're in
6:22	·	Michigan the 2013 search wasn't the
6:26	·	first or even the fifth time
6:28	·	investigators have targeted Michigan in
6:30	·	the hunt for Hoffa makes the most sense
6:32	·	he was last seen in Bloomfield Michigan
6:34	·	where I'm going to be Monday night at
6:36	·	the Andiamo there's no way he's going to
6:39	·	appear in another state it just doesn't
6:40	·	make sense to me you know I know you
6:43	·	want to get away from the body ASAP
6:45	·	trust me you don't want to have it in
6:47	·	your car you don't want to be driving
6:48	·	across country driving to another state
6:50	·	you want to get away from that body ASAP
6:53	·	you don't want anybody to identify you
6:55	·	with it suppose you're driving in a car
6:57	·	and you get stopped by the cops you get
6:59	·	into an accident the body's in the trunk
7:00	·	in the back seat you're dead at that
7:02	·	point how are you going to explain it
7:04	·	let's say you found it on the street of
7:06	·	course not it's ridiculous you want to
7:08	·	get rid of that body ASAP I know it's
7:10	·	probably a bit presumptuous to rule out
7:12	·	the entire Wolverine state of course as
7:15	·	the likely location of Hoppers remains
7:17	·	several spots have already received a
7:20	·	thorough going over in 2003 following a
7:23	·	tip investigators dug up the backyard
7:26	·	pool in Hampton's thumb neighborhood in
7:29	·	search of either Hoffa or evidence
7:31	·	regarding his death I remember that
7:33	·	specifically
7:35	·	a briefcase supposedly to have contained
7:38	·	a medical syringe and pharmaceutical
7:40	·	material used to kill Hoffa the search
7:43	·	turned up nothing but dirt so there
7:45	·	again somebody gave a tip I know where
7:48	·	the body is I know where this stuff is
7:49	·	the FBI follows it up they go through a
7:52	·	whole process nothing happened why are
7:54	·	people doing this why are they saying
7:56	·	this if they don't know
7:58	·	maybe they have a book coming out maybe
8:00	·	they want publicity maybe they want
8:02	·	their name out there for some reason but
8:04	·	man why would you do that it makes no
8:06	·	sense
8:07	·	number three Bloomfield Michigan now
8:10	·	again that's the last place he was seen
8:11	·	at the Marcus Red Fox restaurant now the
8:15	·	Andiamo where I'm going to be Monday
8:16	·	night a year later in 2004 the FBI was
8:19	·	at it again this time in a Suburban
8:21	·	Detroit home once owned by one of
8:23	·	Hoffa's erstwhile Friends Frank Sheeran
8:26	·	you know who sheerhan is the movie the
8:29	·	Irishman a great movie obviously but
8:32	·	totally false sheer hand was not
8:34	·	involved in the murder of Jimmy Hoffa
8:36	·	nor was he involved in the murder of
8:38	·	Joey Gallo that's depicted in the movie
8:40	·	it's not true it's been debunked by law
8:43	·	enforcement and by many other ways it's
8:45	·	just not true
8:46	·	shearhand who claimed that he had
8:48	·	murdered half himself after the two men
8:50	·	at his severe falling out claimed to
8:52	·	have committed the murder in his
8:54	·	Bloomfield home search teams descended
8:57	·	on the house and did find traces of
8:59	·	blood but medical examiners stated they
9:02	·	weren't from Hoffa again it was a bump
9:04	·	steer I don't know why shahan said that
9:06	·	but he did have a book and later a movie
9:08	·	probably made some money that's why they
9:10	·	do it number four Milford Michigan we're
9:13	·	staying in Michigan now a seemingly
9:15	·	promising lead sent the FBI to a horse
9:17	·	farm located northwest of Detroit the
9:21	·	FED spent more than two weeks digging at
9:23	·	that site in May 2006 before Calling it
9:26	·	Quits I remember they had bulldozers and
9:28	·	everything else the FBI normally
9:30	·	closed-lipped about the ongoing
9:32	·	investigations stated they may not have
9:34	·	located Hoffa's body but believed that
9:37	·	it may have been buried there before
9:39	·	being moved elsewhere was it buried
9:42	·	there before and then moved I don't
9:44	·	think so again that doesn't make sense
9:47	·	why would they go and try to you know
9:49	·	dig up the body again you're going to
9:51	·	say well maybe they knew somebody was
9:53	·	going to tell them maybe one of the
9:55	·	informants doesn't make sense to me I
9:57	·	don't know anybody in my former life
10:00	·	that I that would have done anything
10:01	·	like that doesn't make sense number five
10:04	·	Roseville Michigan just 10 months before
10:07	·	the July 2013 investigation the FBI
10:10	·	received yet another michigan-based tip
10:12	·	that Hoffa had been buried beneath a
10:15	·	backyard shed in Roseville when sonar of
10:18	·	the site revealed abnormalities in the
10:20	·	soil composition now they can do sonar
10:22	·	to try to locate something or to see if
10:24	·	there's something underneath the soil
10:26	·	they decided to drill for samples once
10:29	·	again no evidence of Hoffa's remains
10:31	·	turned up that's five times that we know
10:34	·	of number six giant Stadium this I knew
10:37	·	right off the bat wasn't true the most
10:40	·	popular urban legend associated with
10:42	·	Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance is that he
10:44	·	was buried beneath the football stadium
10:46	·	at the spoiling Meadowlands complex in
10:49	·	East Rutherford look during my time in a
10:52	·	life we talked about the Hoffa deal I
10:54	·	heard about things we know right off the
10:57	·	bat we laughed about it there's no way
10:59	·	it was in giant stadium in East
11:00	·	Rutherford New Jersey the idea was first
11:02	·	floated by mob Hitman Donald Tony the
11:05	·	Greek Franco's in an interview with
11:07	·	Playboy magazine in 1989. Francos an
11:11	·	informant who turned States witness
11:12	·	insisted he had no personal involvement
11:15	·	with the murder but had been told that
11:17	·	two other Jersey Wise Guys were
11:19	·	responsible for the murder dismemberment
11:21	·	and eventual burial of Hoffa's body
11:24	·	beneath one of the Stadium's end zones
11:26	·	Federal officials and half his own
11:28	·	family voiced their suspicions over
11:30	·	Franco's story and they should people
11:33	·	let me tell you something okay I've been
11:35	·	to trial five times shot through several
11:37	·	of my father's I've been around this so
11:40	·	often not every time but so often
11:43	·	informants just lie they just lie
11:45	·	ingratiate themselves with the
11:47	·	government give stories out they just
11:49	·	lie to get what they want to get in the
11:51	·	end and this was an absolute lie if he
11:54	·	says he heard that I don't even know if
11:56	·	he did you know who knows what his
11:58	·	motivation was probably trying to get a
12:00	·	as good a deal from the government as he
12:02	·	possibly can you know so he makes up
12:04	·	this story supporters of the theory
12:06	·	noted that Hoffa did disappear while the
12:08	·	complex was under construction and his
12:10	·	last known public meeting was with
12:12	·	reputed New Jersey Crime Boss Anthony
12:14	·	Tony Pro provenzano who Franco's
12:17	·	insisted had himself ordered the hit on
12:19	·	Hoffa not true Tony Pro is not a boss
12:22	·	and he couldn't order a hit on anyone
12:24	·	look during my era in this life and I
12:27	·	always want to make it clear during my
12:29	·	time in that life the only way somebody
12:32	·	can murder somebody the order had to
12:34	·	come from the boss that's it you
12:36	·	couldn't randomly go kill somebody even
12:39	·	if you were a competition a soldier
12:40	·	couldn't do it it had to be ordered and
12:43	·	approved and sanctioned by the boss Tony
12:45	·	Pro is not a boss and I know the order
12:48	·	did not come from him that much I do
12:50	·	know tell you that straight out did not
12:53	·	come from Tony Pro and that you can go
12:55	·	uh go to the banquet
12:57	·	without a doubt the giant Stadium theory
13:00	·	was put to rest in 2010 when the
13:02	·	building was demolished to make way for
13:05	·	a new sports complex all right that's
13:06	·	the sixth uh burial place that was
13:09	·	debunked number seven Jersey City New
13:11	·	Jersey recent Michigan may have cornered
13:14	·	the market in half a Mania but the
13:16	·	Garden State isn't far behind in fact
13:18	·	more than 200 FBI agents have been
13:20	·	assigned to the case over the past 38
13:22	·	years 200 agents most of them in
13:25	·	Michigan and New Jersey just weeks after
13:27	·	Hoffa's disappearance the FBI began
13:29	·	surveillance on a Jersey City Landfill
13:32	·	situated near the Hackensack River based
13:35	·	on an anonymous tip that Hoffa had been
13:37	·	buried there in a 55-pound drum they
13:40	·	soon called off the search but it was
13:42	·	resurrected decades later and in 2022
13:45	·	the FBI announced it came up empty there
13:48	·	again doesn't make sense that they would
13:50	·	transport the body why would they do it
13:52	·	this was a planned hit on Hoffa they had
13:55	·	to set up a meeting at the Marcus Red
13:57	·	Fox restaurant again the restaurant now
14:00	·	Andiamo that I'll be at Monday night for
14:02	·	the wine tasting this was arranged they
14:04	·	knew in advance what they were going to
14:05	·	do with this body why did they want to
14:07	·	take it to Jersey why drive it in the
14:09	·	car all the way to Jersey it's a long
14:11	·	drive Anything Could Happen along the
14:13	·	way you don't want to be caught with a
14:15	·	body that doesn't make sense I'm sorry I
14:18	·	would have never done that I'm not
14:20	·	saying I killed anybody but I'm just
14:21	·	saying I would have never done that
14:22	·	doesn't make sense you don't want to
14:24	·	stay with the body and this last one is
14:27	·	the craziest of all or one of the
14:28	·	craziest the Florida Everglades in 1982
14:32	·	another mob Hitman Charles Allen claimed
14:35	·	that he had the inside scoop of what
14:37	·	really happened to Hoffa who knows what
14:39	·	his motive was did he have a book was he
14:41	·	gaining in some way making any money
14:43	·	testifying before U.S Senate committee
14:45	·	investigating Anthony provenzano and
14:48	·	other organized crime leaders Allen said
14:50	·	that Hoffa had been shot and killed
14:52	·	shortly after his disappearance I
14:54	·	believe that makes sense with his body
14:57	·	later wound up dumped in a steel drum
15:00	·	and brought down to Florida where it was
15:02	·	dumped unceremoniously in a nearby swamp
15:06	·	again why would they do that what is
15:09	·	Michigan not big enough they can't find
15:11	·	this spot in Michigan could have found
15:12	·	any spot and they're away from the body
15:14	·	so who cares at that point makes no
15:17	·	sense that this would be in Florida
15:18	·	ridiculous shortly after testifying aled
15:21	·	entered the witness protection program
15:23	·	of course which didn't stop him from
15:25	·	granting interviews with reporters to
15:27	·	further press his claim what did he have
15:29	·	to gain why is he now going on you know
15:31	·	getting interviews he had to have some
15:33	·	motive maybe he he wanted the attention
15:35	·	maybe he had a book coming out I don't
15:37	·	know the federal government however was
15:39	·	doubtful noting Allen's credibility
15:41	·	problem and eagerness to sell his
15:44	·	salacious story to the highest bidder
15:46	·	all right he was looking for profit the
15:48	·	same year Allen testified before
15:50	·	Congress Jimmy Hoffa was declared
15:52	·	legally dead another crazy story so
15:55	·	there you have it nine spots that the
15:57	·	FBI went through the trouble of
15:58	·	investigating and what happened came up
16:01	·	empty each time so like I said I believe
16:03	·	I have credible information I don't say
16:06	·	that I know where the body is this other
16:08	·	fellow does say that gonna give him a
16:10	·	lie detector test going to go through
16:12	·	the route we'll see what happens at that
16:13	·	point in time but I can tell you right
16:15	·	now people I'm not going to be number
16:17	·	10. that's not going to happen anyway
16:19	·	you know again I'll just say it once
16:21	·	more I hope I see some of you in um
16:23	·	uh in Warren this this weekend February
16:27	·	18th Warren Michigan the Andiamo
16:29	·	showroom Andiamo showroom.com I think

16:35	·	then Monday I'll be at the Andiamo in
16:37	·	Bloomfield again he has 25 restaurants
