Hoffa was 62 when he vanished after a restaurant meeting on the outskirts of Detroit in July 1975, and his body has never been found
His death is widely believed to have been ordered by Anthony Provenzano, a capo with the Genovese crime family and head of a New Jersey teamsters union
The search for Hoffa has seen multiple sites dug up over the decades, mainly in the Detroit area
Several rumors over the years have also pointed to New Jersey locations but nothing has ever been confirmed
In 2019 a dying former worker on a landfill in Jersey City said that his father, in 2008, told him he was given Hoffa’s body and told to bury it
On October 25 and 26 this year FBI teams from Detroit and Newark dug part of the former landfill site in the hunt for steel barrels
The FBI has not discussed their findings but finding Hoffa’s remains would end a mystery 46-years in the making
