The Teamsters union head was last seen on July 30, 1975, at a restaurant in Detroit. The new search site is under the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey.
After receiving a tip involving a deathbed statement, the FBI surveyed a New Jersey landfill hoping to find the remains of former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa, the Associated Press reported. The FBI obtained a warrant to “conduct a site survey underneath the Pulaski Skyway,” according to Mara Schneider, the spokeswoman for the FBI’s Detroit field office. According to Schneider’s written statement, the survey was conducted on October 25 and 26, with its data currently being analyzed. The Newark and Detroit offices were involved in the investigation. The search was spurred by a new tip that is just as mysterious as Hoffa’s disappearance. The New York Times reported that Frank Cappola was summoned by his father Paul on his deathbed in 2008. He allegedly told his son about his involvement in the 1975 case when he worked at the PJP Landfill in Jersey City.
