Human remains resurfacing at Lake Mead, along with interest in Jimmy Hoffa’s 1975 disappearance

Famous labor organizer Jimmy Hoffa was last seen on July 30, 1975. His remains have not been found.

The first body was discovered in a barrel on May 1 along the newly exposed shoreline of the lake formed by Hoover Dam between Nevada and Arizona. In that case, police said the body was a man who had been shot, probably between the mid-1970s and the early 1980s because he was wearing shoes manufactured during that period.

From there, Hoffa organized the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and was elected union president in 1957, holding that position until 1971. Among his accomplishments, he negotiated the National Master Freight Agreement, which covered over 450,000 truck drivers. After that, his union grew into the largest union in the U.S. making him the country’s foremost labor organizer.

More than 200 FBI agents were assigned to the case in New Jersey, Detroit and at least four other cities. During the period, more than 70 volumes of files were compiled, containing more than 16,000 pages. Six suspects in the disappearance, including Provenzano and Anthony Giacalone, were convicted on unrelated charges.

Why would the mob kill Hoffa in Detroit and transport his body to Nevada? Think.

Hoffa was last seen in Bloomfield Township in Michigan. So while ANYTHING is possible, hauling his body 2000 miles to Lake Mead doesn't sound like a good plan.

His remains will never be found. His body was likely incinerated shortly after assassination.
