The men who killed former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa had his body cremated at a Detroit cemetery, a local author says in a new book.
"It's the most logical explanation," Jeffry Hansen says in "Digging for the Truth: The Final Resting Place of Jimmy Hoffa," which goes on sale this week on Amazon.com.
Hansen, 36, a suburban Detroit cop who spent three years researching his book, contends Hoffa was incinerated at a crematorium at Evergreen Cemetery on Woodward between 7 Mile and 8 Mile on July 30, 1975 -- the day he disappeared.
Hansen's book is another in a long line of still-unproven theories on the still-missing Hoffa.
The Detroit FBI office declined to comment. But several people directly or indirectly involved in the investigation cast doubt on Hansen's claims....

Perhaps this time the theory will prove correct. Unlikely though after all these years.

Man, it seems this has been going on about as long as the Judge Crater thing did.

It was a scandal during Franklin Roosevelt's term as governor of New York, and joked about for at least 30 years more. I doubt anyone remembers the hapless Judge Crater any more, other than myself.

Looks like Judge Crater may have spent his later years sunning himself in a tropical hideaway living off the contents of his safe deposit box.
