FBI ends search for Jimmy Hoffa's body
By Joseph Lichterman
OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, Michigan | Wed Jun 19, 2013 12:08pm EDT
(Reuters) - The FBI has called off a search for the remains of former Teamsters boss, Jimmy Hoffa, in a field near Detroit Wednesday, FBI official Robert Foley said, extending nearly 38 years of frustration to find the elusive corpse.
The hunt was in its third day Wednesday when Foley, head of the investigative agency's Detroit office, told reporters no evidence of human remains had been found.
The FBI began digging in the field after an 85-year-old reputed mobster, Anthony Zerilli, told them he was certain Hoffa was buried alive in the field, after his disappearance in 1975 from another Detroit suburb when Hoffa was 62.
"We did not uncover any evidence relevant to the investigation on James Hoffa," Foley told reporters. "Of course we're disappointed."
