The lure of the lore
The creepy story of former Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance has another chance to finally get close to an ending. FBI agents are digging in a Michigan yard to see if he's buried there. The "Where's Hoffa Buried" saga has been going on for 30 years, with the end zone of Giants Stadium as the site a popular myth. A "Mythbusters" TV show wasn't able to rule it out in the time they had allotted to film.
Other rumors have him dumped in a Florida swamp, crushed in an automobile compactor in Michigan, under a helipad at the Sheraton Savannah and in a toxic waste site in Jersey City. Some theories were apparently cooked up by inmates looking to amuse themselves.
In the interest of ending the case and settling the stories, it would be good if they find his remains. But it would make the Meadowlands of New Jersey a little less interesting.

Only Tony Soprano knows and he ain't sayin nutin.
I like the previous comment from "Anonymous." It strikes at the heart of the issue. Hoffa was a union leader, but as everyone knows, he had strong ties to mobsters. This alone is a good reason why unions should be viewed with great suspicion.
