>> John: WE HAVE BEEN
REPORTING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO
JIMMY HOFFA ON FOX NATION
UNCOVERED CLUES THAT AUTHORITIES
ARE PURSUING.
>> Sandra: WORD THAT THE FBI
REPORTEDLY INVESTIGATING A NEW
TIP IN THEIR SEARCH FOR THE
TEAMSTER PRESIDENT SEARCHING A
GOLF COURSE OFF OF THE SITE OF
GEORGIA.
MORE FROM NEW YORK CITY WITH
THIS.
>> JIMMY HOFFA NOW DISAPPEARED
FROM A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT IN
DETROIT ON JULY 30TH, 1975.
IT WAS THOUGHT HE WAS ON HIS WAY
TO A MEETING TO MAKE PEACE WITH
A MOBSTER FROM NEW JERSEY.
IN THE 46-YEAR STINT, THE FBI
HAS CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE THE
CASE AND TAKES IT SERIOUSLY.
THE BUREAU HAS CONDUCTED SEVERAL
DIGS FOR THE REMAINS THROUGH THE
YEARS.
MOSTLY THROUGH MICHIGAN, BUT NOW
A NEW TIP WITH A TWIST.
>> THE WHOLE WHERE I BELIEVE
JIMMY HOFFA’S REMAINS ARE IS
OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE COURSE ON
ONE OF THOSE HOLES.
>> THE NEWEST TIP ABOUT THE
DISAPPEARANCE OF JIMMY HOFFA
COMES WITH A SOUTHERN DRAWL.
>> CAN YOU IMAGINE THE MAFIA
HAVING LAWYER NAMED BUBBA?
>> REGINALD HOFF JR., KNOWN TO
ALL AS BUBBA IS AN 80-YEAR-OLD
FORMER ATTORNEY IN SAVANNAH,
GEORGIA.
HE SAYS THAT JIMMY HOFFA IS
BURIED UNDER A HOLE AT THE OLD
SAVANNAH RESORT AND GOLF CLUB.
THE MOST UNLIKELY OF PLACES ONE
WOULD THINK AT LEAST AT FIRST
GLANCE.
>> IT WAS SO OUT OF THE WAY AND
IT WAS RIDICULOUS THAT HE WOULD
BE BROUGHT HERE TO SAVANNAH,
GEORGIA, AND MADE THIS THE
PERFECT PLACE.
BRING HIM HERE WHERE THEY CAN
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
THEY CAN’T KEEP AN EYE -- THEY
CAN’T GO TO NEW JERSEY ON MAFIA
PROPERTY AND KEEP AN EYE ON
ANYBODY.
THEY DID NOT WANT TO LET HIM GO
AND DID NOT WANT ANYBODY TO FIND
HIM.
>> BUBBA KNOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE
LAW, SERVE TIME FOR SECURITY
FRAUD AND WAS A LONG TIME LAWYER
FOR ROSA NOVA, ALSO KNOWN AS LOU
THE TAYLOR BACK IN CHICAGO WHERE
THE FED SAY HE WAS A TOP MEMBER
OF THE MAFIA ALTHOUGH HE DENIED
IT.
HE SAID HE WAS SENT BY CHICAGO
TO OVERSEE THE RESORT OWNED BY
TIME BY THE TEAMSTERS AND HELPED
HIDE HIS BODY.
>> LOU CAME TO THE OFFICE, TWO
FBI AGENTS FROM SAVANNAH
INTERVIEWED HIM AND I WAS THERE.
AND THEY SUSPECTED LOU WAS
INVOLVED.
>> BUBBA WRITING A BOOK CALLED
"MOB ISLAND" ABOUT THE RESORT
WHERE THE MOBSTERS AND SOUTHERN
GENTILITY WOULD MAKE FOR AN
UNUSUAL MIX.
>> IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM
BETWEEN THE NEW YORK FAMILY IN
THE CHICAGO FAMILY, THEY WOULD
HAVE A SIT DOWN, AND THIS WAS
THE PLACE.
AND IT WAS -- THEY COULD NOT BE
UNDER SURVEILLANCE, THIS WAS
PERFECT.
>> THE ISLAND HAD ITS OWN
PRIVATE DIRT AIRSTRIP AND SAID
SHORTLY AFTER HE VANISHED IN
1975, A TWIN ENGINE BEACH CRAFT
CAME IN LIKE THIS ONE AND LANDED
WITH A LARGE PACKAGE THAT IN IN
THE MOBSTERS POSTED WAS JIMMY
HOFFA’S REMAINS.
TO SPEAK OF THE PACKAGE WAS
FLOWN IN FROM DETROIT AND IT
FLEW IN AND HIM AND THEY WENT TO
THE THING AND HAD LIFTED
SOMETHING OF WHAT HE CALLS THE
PACKAGE.
IT WOULD PROBABLY LOCATE HIM
WHERE NOBODY WOULD EVEN SUSPECT,
AND IT WAS CONTROLLED BY THE
TEAMSTERS.
THE PROP, AND YOU DON’T GO
AROUND DIGGING UP A GOLF COURSE.
TO SPEAK ABOUT THE MOBSTERS AND
TEAMSTERS WHO PLAY THROUGH SAYS
WON PECULIAR HABIT STOOD OUT.
>> THAT’S NOT NORMAL GOLF
ETIQUETTE, AND I ASKED WHAT IS
SO SPECIAL THAT EVERYBODY THAT
WE PLAY WITH THAT COMES FROM
CHICAGO AND THE TEAMSTERS, THEY
AT THIS WHOLE.
AND THAT’S WHEN YOU TOLD ME, HE
SAID, I NEVER HAD THIS
CONVERSATION WITH YOU, BUT YOU
ARE LOOKING WHERE JIMMY HOFFA
WAS BURIED.
>> THE FBI WANT TO CONFIRM IT
HAS ANYTHING BUT THE AGENTS HAVE
BEEN AT THE GOLF COURSE AS
LOCALS CLAIM, BUT THE BUREAU
SAYS THAT THE INVESTIGATION IS
ONGOING, THAT THE FBI IS
COMMITTED TO FINDING HIM IN
GSOLVING THE CASE IN THE BOROUGH
SAYS THEY WILL PURSUE ANY
CREDIBLE INFORMATION THAT COMES
ITS WAY.
JOHN.
SPEED ON THE GOLF COURSE IS NOT
THE ONLY INVESTIGATION GOING ON,
CORRECT?
>> THAT’S RIGHT, AUTHORITY’S ARE
PURSUING A TIP FROM OUR SERIES
ON FOX NATION, THE SOURCE FOR
JAMES HOFMANN -- JAMES HOFFA,
TOLD IN 1975 THAT HE WAS
PROBABLY BURIED AT A TEXAS --
TOXIC WASTE DOT.
SO WE WENT NEAR FRANK COPPOLA
TOLD US HIS FATHER BURIED HIM.
AND TOOK THE EXPERT TODAY, AND
WE TOOK THE DATA YOU SEE ON THE
SCREEN, AND GOING ROUND THE LINE
WHERE THE TECHNICIAN TELLS US
THAT WE FOUND LARGE PIECES OF
METAL LIKE BARRELS BURIED UNDER
THE GROUND EXACTLY WHERE FRANK
COPPOLA SAYS THAT HIS FATHER
BURIED JIMMY HOFFA IN A BARREL.
SO THIS SEEMS TO COMPLETELY
COOPERATE FRANKEL POLOS CLAIMS
TO BEING INVESTIGATED NOW.
WE WILL SEE IF THERE IS A
POTENTIAL DATE BY
LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THAT SITE.
IT’S NOT THAT BIG, 200 FEET BY
200 FEET, SO IT SHOULD BE FAIRLY
EASY ONE WOULD THINK TO SEE IF
THOSE ARE BARRELS BURIED UNDER
THEY ARE AND IF THERE IS ANY
HUMAN REMAINS WHETHER IT IS
JIMMY HOFFA OR THE MISSING
MOBSTER THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
BACK IN 1975.
>> John: I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE
PERSON BURIED IN SO MANY PLACES.
