No, but he has a garden he needs tilled up so he can plant some tomatos.
The reporter made that joke on “CBS This Morning” and Charlie Rose was literally LOL. 
Something is crazy wrong here.
This entire story was in the news in January, and found to be BS.
Am I missing something??
Nobody found it to be BS? They’re just getting to digging at the site now.
I have to wonder whether law enforcement just uses these expeditions as training exercises these days.
Anybody know what we’re going to do when we find the body? Does he have a tattoo with a secret code on it or something? Just what interest does the FBI have in finding this body? If it’s to prove he’s dead, it’s a pretty good bet that he is, he’d be 100 years old now if he’s not.
Hey, hey, hey, baby…
That’s what I want to know. I really don’t know much about the whole Jimmy Hoffa thing so I’ve never understood why they’ve spent so much money trying to track down his body.
I assume we have dental records. If the skeleton has any teeth left, I mean.
So we’re looking for his body so we can get his teeth?!?!
I assume at this point it’s just a matter of pride for the FBI. A high profile case where they were actively involved at the time of his disappearance, they have to demonstrate unwavering resolve to pursue resolution, no matter that there’s really no other tangible benefit anymore.
The funny thing is, if they just give up now (quietly, not publicly give up) no one will think much of it. But if they find his remains, it’ll be a huge deal. It’ll be all over the internet and in every paper about how much money they wasted looking for a pile of bones that aren’t going to get them anywhere in the case.
They better hope if they do find him, it leads to something. Something to make it worthwhile. A conviction, lots of convictions, a treasure map showing them where the 100 million dollars is buried, Tarantino’s copy of the Pulp Fiction script with notes in the margin that explain what was in the brief case…something. But seriously, is there an end game here? If it wasn’t a high profile case, would they still be looking. Besides, maybe it’s pride for the FBI, but it’s not like the same people are even running the FBI at this point. How many people working in the FBI now were working in the FBI in the 70’s? At some point, I assume the rest of the old brass (is that the right term for the FBI) will have turned over and the new people just won’t care about him anymore.
But that’s the point they’re trying to make, that it’s justice that must be served and not the wishes of any generation of agents that were active and then retired. Their resolve shouldn’t ever waver and it should guide that institution as a principle, not a chapter.
‘Where is Jimmy Hoffa buried?’ is a national meme that hasn’t and won’t die until they solve the puzzle and they’re quite keen to get that weighty monkey off their back.
I guess it compares in some ways to bin Laden, finding him didn’t have near the operational impact it might have earlier in the campaign but you weren’t about to let the person or the crime stand unanswered no matter how long it took.
But if Al-Queda had fallen or lost a considerable amount of it’s power, Bin Laden hadn’t made any more appearances, terrorism (from that part of the world towards the US) wasn’t really an issue any more, would we still be trying to find him in 40 or 50 years?
Well, he does have a couple of kids who might find comfort if his remains are found. I’m sure that counts for something.
I think it does count, but only within reason. The government should attempt to locate persons who have gone missing, especially when there is some evidence that they are a victim of crime. However, we have spent millions on this investigation over the years, turned up nothing, the evidence is mostly hearsay, and no physical evidence of his death or a crime. No such effort was spent on finding three missing women in Cleveland, and even though it was not known they were alive, there was at least a reasonable chance that they would be. The cost of these wild goose chases can’t be reasonably justified.
And they found nothing again.
Unfortunately the case has become a wild goose chase, and whatever benefit they get from demonstrating their persistence might be outweighed by the joke factor. Everybody has a pretty good idea of what happened to Hoffa. Exactly who did it and where he’s buried are a mystery but unless they think finding him will help them convict living people who were involved in his death, it only makes so much difference.
And we don’t spend this kind of money on 99% of other people, not even people who actually have living, immediate family. After a while, they just close the case.
I think it would be interesting if we found him too but I am not willing to spend any money on it. Too bad no one listens to me. 
I do. I’m officially calling off my search. I’d already looked under my bed and in my closet, and just had the guest bedroom left. If he’s in there, we’ll never know.
I heard he’s buried under your garage. You should go tear up the concrete slab right away and see what you can find.
