I went to elementary school with Hoffa's grandson. I actually met Jimmy Hoffa at his grandson's birthday party. The day that Hoffa disappeared the family took their grandson out of school on the same day via limo and I never saw him again.

Let's take a moment of silence for the all the people who have disappeared, and nobody ever even heard their names.

I think the cremated body story is closest to the truth.

The part that just doesn’t make sense is using a shotgun. Too noisy in a residential neighborhood and makes too much of a splatter mess. For that reason I say the story is off

It's obvious Hoffa's killer is not still alive.... He doesn't have a youtube channel.

I always had the "feeling" that Jimmy went through a 'funeral home' business and probably got cremated.

Blew they guy's head off in a house? Why make such a mess?

I've followed this case for many years and I have trouble believing that a shotgun was used and not a handgun. However, I do believe that he was in fact cremated or incinerated because that way there would never be any possibility of his body ever being found. It just makes the most sense to me. I have wondered if maybe the FBI knows the real truth but has chosen not to ever reveal it. JMO.

He’s gone and there is nothing we can do about it, and that’s that……

My mother who was elderly at the time, had to have one of those dreaded “ladie’s exams”. She came home and said “Guess what the doctor found?” My brother piped up, “Jimmy Hoffa?” We howled like anything, my mother wasn’t impressed and my fiancée from the UK didn’t get the joke as she had no idea who Jimmy Hoffa was.

No one will EVER know the truth abour Hoffa. Period.

Tony Giacalone knew. Uncle Lou confirms there is no way Hoffa wasn’t burned up within an hour of his murder. He played golf with Tony, apparently.

They cremated his body right after they killed him is the story around Detroit

Hoffa walks through the door and they hit blew his head off with a shotgun? c'mon...

I lived a mile from Bagnasco's Funeral Home. The people who didn't even know each other told me the same story. When I told the nephew of a couple of captains he just laughed and said "Yeah, that's Sam "Bags".

the older I get the more I regret of all the people Ive lost over the years but maybe being a trail guide wasnt such a great Idea after all

Geraldo says he's buried in Al Capones vault.

Doesn't matter who killed him or where the body went, ultimately the order of the hit came from the teamster leaders who didn't want him gaining control of the union again. The loss of Hoffa was the beginning of the downfall of the Teamsters Union. When Hoffa was the head of the union, there was no such thing as a non union trucking company. The leadership of the union after Hoffa only cared about themselves and allowed non union companies, even union companies forming non union companies. No matter what people think of Hoffa, he took care of the working members.

Literally the plot of The Irishman 😂

Sir, what you said is so much more realistic than other theories I’ve heard over the years. I have always said, from the beginning, that no one will ever find Hoffa. When I saw people dig sites I always thought, “What a bunch of idiots.” Thanks. Cremated him! Why of course they did!!!

New sub from Belfast, Ireland. 👍 Would love to hear more about the stuff you worked on over your career.

This account of Hoffa's murder mirrors the story told by Frank Sheran in, I Heard You Paint Houses. There are some slight differences, but the meat and postatoes of what the detective said in this video is extremely close to what the Irishman said in his deathbed confession.

With how many enemies he had, it could have been multiple people.

I just subbed up, looking forward to more excellent content.

My great grandfather was a big shot in a union from the 40s thru the late 60s. Mob union. He swore he knew the truth and claims Hoffa's body was dumped into a bridge pier during the concrete pour. He refused to tell anyone in the family which bridge, but swore to it until his own dying day. Obviously, no one can prove or disprove it, but it's interesting to think about. 🤷‍♂️

Hoffa never left Detroit,there’s no body.🔥

Wow , Detective Pergola on KZfaq. Dude is a legend in law enforcement

That sounds like a real story that rings a bell concerning Hoffa's disappearance! I could believe this more than him being buried someplace especially after the case of the 3 Civil rights workers down south. How they were found and charges were brought against the perpetrators.

When you ride with outlaws, you die like an outlaw.

Why a shotgun? Very messy in someone’s house. Lots to clean…

simple and straightforward

Hey Frank, I grew up around that guys that were directly involved with this in North Bergen - Union City NJ. A very close family member worked at Local 560 and we were close to a top guy who was a West Sider (The Westies). One day All of the we had to leave our home in Guttenberg quickly and we ended moving around to different places in the Catskills in the 70's. Respectively- I overheard what happened to Mr. Hoffa a little differently. In a funny turn of events the West Sider who was living with us was hiding out because of another well known incident. He ended up saving me and my mothers life from a really (REALLY) bad time after all of this and we were able to flee... It's sad that all of that was over Egos and Greed... I find myself disgusted by all of the movies and stories that are written about these horrible people. Not much is mentioned about the kids who were affected by it all. People have no idea the level of depravity these sc*mbags are capable of. Mr. Hoffa will not be found and no one will really know the facts because of all of the "buffers" that were placed in this situation. Thanks.

why would they take the ashes to lake sinclair from just washing them down a drain

Billy Jack used a garrote. He and Briguglio put Hoffa's body in the trunk of Jr.'s Merc. Later... they went to the incinerator, sandwiched him inbetween some cardboard and put him in. That's why the dogs sniffed and hit on the car later on. There wasnt even a drop of blood. The Feds took the car. The Detroit Partnership is/was the only family that could ever keep quiet. Once they finished a job... it was NEVER mentioned again. Not even amongst themselves. We all know what happened to "Sally Bugs". Chuckie sat behind the wheel of the Merc at the Schultz residence the entire time. He didn't actually "see" anything... so he couldn't actually "say" anything; and, he knew what would happen if he ever did. He "suspected" what had taken place, put two and two together, but had to lie to save his own skin. Little Lenny was with Tony that afternoon. His house was empty but Hoffa was duped into thinking the meet was there and he walked right into it. Vito wasn't a "Made Man" at the time, but he got made later as a result. He took it to the grave, along with a few others. That's my take on it.

Thank you

Frank made at least one misstatement of fact - Genovese hitman Red Hot's name was Enrico Gentile, not Galante.

I like this guy. I would love to hear more of his stories. Thank you.

The mafia guys who talked, the car crushing makes the most sense, according to Sam Gravano

Where’s the full interview ?

I would love to see what Dan Moldea has to say about that.

My aunt and uncle were federal marshals and the rumor they heard was Hoffa was strangled with a garotte and then his body was put into an industrial incinerator.

Jimmy is in the Yellow Pages - under "Cement".

But the story he relates is almost exactly the same as the one in The Irishman. The actual triggerman may be different but the set up is the same.

Like other people posting here, I have my doubts about an experienced criminal using a shotgun inside a private house. Making noise and leaving lots of blood-spatter evidence. Also, transporting the body to a crematorium leaves blood evidence. And somebody at the crematorium was bound to notice a body with no head.

a million cops and wiseguys have thought that they knew the real story but the real story died with Tony Jack.

Yup. U R right sort of. His body is well covered up.

Best theory out there, plus this guy is credible

He says he "didn't like" the film, The Irishman, then goes on to relate what he says is the truth, which almost exactly parallels the movie, which was based on the book. Fat Tony allowed to bump him off...blah blah, restaurant...blah blah meeting at private house...bang, bang...blah blah crematorium. Only now some guy named "Red Hot" actually pulled the trigger. Pergola just seeking publicity/glory.

The house where Hoffa was shotgunned had to be one hell-of-a mess. Wonder who cleaned all that up.

If he actually knew, Hoffa would have been recovered. If he knew and didn't say anything he should be in jail.

I don't know where he's buried but I think Tony Giacalone has something to do with it

I drove past Machus Red Fox twice on the day he disappeared, and often wondered if I hadn't been in the proximity of a car driving him away. As a 76 year resident of the Detroit area, I've heard several accounts from people closely familiar with that culture, who I know personally. There is one story that I've always found the most credible, and Mr. Pergola has just repeated it.

Very plausible except for the shotgun. Too messy. Probably shot with a handgun. Cremation seems very likely. Cremains dumped into the lake. Hence, Jimmy sleeps with the fishes.

i will accept that!!! makes perfect sence!!! ty sir now we know!!!

I always believed there was NO body. A smart killer would cremated. End of story.

getting cremated does make sense. there would be no way in hell that his body would be found. ashes don't have dna any more.

A professional hit man using a shot gun in a residential neighbor on a known public figure? He was more likely strangled to cut down any noise.

I remember seeing a horse farm being dug up in Michigan.

That sounds very reasonable. Better than some of the other theories.

This gentleman's account of what happened to Jimmy Hoffa is as good as any that I've heard. Jimmy wanted to be president again, but the mob already had a new easy dupe; they already had stability for cheap loans. And no need for a shotgun, or anything near that loud. Small handgun with silencer or simply a 22 caliber gun would do the job without anyone hearing it outside that home. Michael Franzese, son of Colombo crime family underboss, Sonny Franzese, said that Jimmy Hoffa's body went to a place that's "very deep". Cremation .....sure; they are known to own and control such businesses.And why would anyone in the mob do anything as nutty as bring Hoffa's body back from MI to the NY or NJ area? That would not fly with the Commission.

Det Frank Pergola Absolute Legend 💙💙🇺🇲

Sawed-off at point blank range... that's an Incredible Mess...

"HIS VERSION" of what happened to Hoffa. There's a zillion of them. (eye roll)

That makes sense. It’s not personal it’s just business. Franzese said he knows where Hoffa went. He said he sleeps with the fishes. 😆

Somebody’s house was full of blood and brains. I hope the mob had some really good clean up people that wouldn’t talk.😮

Nobody would probably be prosecuted for Hoffa ever

Thanks.

Mad shit ! I love facts ! I love truth! Nice work Gentlemen Keep it coming 👣🇦🇺🌍⚖️✝️

From someplace I don't recall, I was convinced that due to foul play, Mr. Hoffa wound up...."sleeping with the fishes." 🧐

Ever notice the endless line of those who know what happened to Hoffa? 😂

Makes sense. I've always thought that Hoffa's body was cremated. Makes zero sense to bury him.

Most of these details are described in the book, “I heard you paint houses”. Which is an autobiography of the Irishman that joined the mob after trying to kill some of them.

Wasn’t that basically The Irishman Story ?? Especially at the end

Yeah I know he never left Detroit area. I dunno about the cremation, but that could be. For that matter they could of crushed him on a car, or whatever. But all the people claiming they killed him in Detroit and then put him in a trunk and drove back to new york or new jersey, c'mon... why,?

Sounds more likely than any of the other scenarios.

The Irishman was a terrible film . Very likely Anthony Provenzano had Hoffa killed and to some extent who actually carried out his orders is a bit irrelevant as he was ultimately responsible. Shocking as it is , its difficult to feel much sympathy for Hoffa, as he seems to have used the mob throughout his career for his own ends. For instance he allowed Teamster’s union funds to be used by the mob to build casinos in Las Vegas etc

The biggest question today is, does anybody really give a sh*t what happened to Hoffa?

Спасибо за интересный выпуск

Wouldn’t anyone report a shotgun blast in the middle of the afternoon in a residential neighborhood? In the seventies housewives would be home.

Definitely possible. This guy probably knows for sure.

I heard that Hoffa actually lived in Porto Portugal until his death from heart disease in 1997.

Beaverland street in northwest Detroit, and in the Warrendale neighborhood, which was closeby, there were several funeral homes along Warren Avenue. Beaverland ran north to south from 8 Mile to Warren in the south. The restaurant was the Machus Red Fox at Telegraph and Maple. Jimmy was probably dust before dinner time that same day. I am from Detroit and know that Warrendale area well. He never had the meeting that he went to the restaurant for.

To this day I reference Jimmy Hoffa in a variety of scenarios. Good to know how it finally happened. May God have mercy on his soul and the souls of all those who have disappeared. God bless~

Spaghetti and Salami took hoffa 😅😅😅 this guys FOS

I heard in the 1990s that Hoffa wasn’t dead. He was appearing on TV regularly. He was discovered when they scrubbed off Tammy Faye Bakker’s makeup.

New sub here from Quebec !

My dad was working for his uncle in Detroit at a “recreation center” that was really a gambling hall for numbers and sports. Hoffa used to come in there all the time. Also, Tony Giacolone came in there all the time as well. “Tony Jack” as they used to call him came to my grandparents home for dinner back in the day. He was one of the people to meet Hoffa at the restaurant and the last to be seen with him! Tony did indeed personally give the details to my uncle about the demise of Hoffa.

All these years and nobody bothers to mention his Safe House in Lansing Michigan or the lime pits that are relatively close to said house

I always thought he was killed in Michigan.

Jimmy Hoffa was dumped into a heat of steel at the Rouge

New subscriber. 👍

Its common knowledge that Hoffa moved to Alice Springs Australia with Union Funds. He changed his name to Jimmy Webster.

I watched The Irishman and trying to recall the story….I do know it was about Jimmy Hoffa and I recall a scene where I think he walks in a house and is immediately blown away….is the correct recollection?

He was made to completely disappear not put in some hole to ever be found again. They wanted him to disappear properly. Everyone has a theory but the only ones that really know are definitely not around anymore

I worked at somerset mall at schrafts restaurant . A bunch of us went up to the restaurant where Hoffa was kidnapped. I went in and sunk down in the carpet three inches. Sure knew how to live..

There's a car painting store in Detroit. Had a new concrete slab put in the weekend Hoffa disappeared. But his heart is under the Washington Monument. I scare the mob. (Mineakey.)

My grandfather was a Deputy US Marshal, he was involved in witness protection for informants. He actually did protection for a guy who testified against Hoffa, kind of ironic. Most of what he did, he never talked about because he couldn't.

The mother of one of my high school girlfriends, back in the early '70s, was good friends with Hoffa for many years.

One problem, what about the drivers that drove him there? Did they vanish into thin air too?

What happened to his drivers?
