A non-profit investigative group, The Case Breakers, specializing in unresolved criminal cases, has announced a significant breakthrough in the enduring mystery surrounding the disappearance of former Teamsters President, Jimmy Hoffa.
According to a press release issued on Wednesday, the group believes it has identified the Milwaukee location where Hoffa's remains are buried.
The Case Breakers' investigation, which has spanned several years, was guided by cryptic instructions scribbled on an ace of spades playing card by a dying police sergeant. This clue led them to the former site of Milwaukee County Stadium in Wisconsin. The alleged burial site is adjacent to the current Milwaukee Brewers stadium, American Family Field. The group posits that Hoffa's body is interred beneath the location where the demolished stadium's third-base line once lay.
Jim Zimmerman, a former police officer and a 13-year member of The Case Breakers, is credited with discovering the ace of spades playing card. The group believes the card was written by a dying police sergeant implicated in Hoffa's abduction.
"Independent sources in three states convinced the volunteer investigators that CSI forensics will reveal Hoffas remains at a little league field, in the shadow of Milwaukees MLB stadium," the press release stated. The group claims three credible witnesses have attested that six years prior to the demolition of Milwaukee County Stadium, Hoffas body was relocated from another site and "secretly buried in 1995 under this old stadiums 3rd base."
The alleged burial site now lies just beyond the fence of Helfaer Field, a Little League stadium constructed in 2002 in the parking lot that replaced the old stadium. The Case Breakers visited the location, utilized historical aerial photographs and GPS satellite imagery, and conducted "ground-penetrating radar over the remote location three times." The radar equipment was unable to penetrate beyond 5 feet due to an "unexpected clay layer" which the group believes indicates a hurried excavation and backfilling.
Thomas J. Colbert, the founder of The Case Breakers, informed Fox News Digital that the team enlisted one of the "top" cadaver dog experts, retired police officer Carren Corcoran. Corcoran's dog, Moxy, gave a positive signal several times. "This gal has, I believe the figure is over 200 cases of finding either the dead or the missing," Colbert said. "She's phenomenal and she brought in her dog, and where does the dog go? Right to the ground penetration radar spot three years earlier and that's where we got excited." The press release states that Moxy "pointed, wagged, barked and nosed her way into 4 hits at the stadiums old 3rd-base location."
The next phase, according to Colbert, is to collaborate with local law enforcement and the FBI to excavate the site. The Case Breakers assert that the federal authorities have already agreed to "dig in" to the new claims following a "verbal walk through" with Case Breakers team member and 42-year federal investigator Jim Christy. The FBI declined to comment to Fox News Digital "due to the ongoing investigation."
Hoffa, the iconic labor leader and former president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, disappeared on July 30, 1975. It is widely believed that he was en route to a mob meeting with influential Detroit family mob boss Anthony "Tony Jack" Giacalone and New Jersey Teamsters local union boss "Tony Pro" Provenzano, a feared Capo in the Genovese crime family. Hoffa, who had been released from federal prison on fraud and bribery charges, was determined to reclaim his position as the Teamsters president. The meeting was intended to further his objective. However, the Mafia opposed his ambition, and Hoffa's stubborn refusal to step aside is believed to have led to his demise.
Over the years, numerous excavations have been conducted in the search for Hoffa's body, all to no avail, including a search beneath a New Jersey bridge in 2022. Hoffa was legally declared dead in 1982.
