I just saw the old Jack Nicholson flick about Jimmy Hoffa. It ot me wondering, as the victim of a crime, and (possibly) having his body transported across state lines, would the FBI still have an active file on Hoffa? Obviously, after all this time, the chances of any new leads is pretty slim. Yet, the FBI often tracks cold cases form decades-is there an agent assigned to this case?

There is a local guy here that had a sign on his front lawn that read, " Hoffa is buried here."

I always cracked up when I saw that.
