The members of my loyal production team are blameless.īe assured that none of us requested or accepted any money from any media organizations during the past three years of this investigation. That aside-as promised if this search by the FBI was unsuccessful-I must say that the failure of this effort will be mine and mine alone. and that we just can’t find him.Īlso, regarding those who are now accusing me of having a blind spot as to the role of the Detroit underworld in the murder conspiracy, I remind everyone that no one, living or dead, has spent more time than I have investigating the Detroit labor racketeer, Rolland McMaster, for his role in the transport of Hoffa’s body via Gateway Transportation, as well as McMaster’s direction of the Local 299 violence that preceded Hoffa’s disappearance. We are currently trying to resolve this dispute to the satisfaction of everyone involved.īut, regardless of how this plays out, I still believe that Hoffa is or was buried at or near PJP in Jersey City after his 1975 murder in Detroit. , “but there is one lingering issue that I believe remains unresolved. “I’m more than happy to accept this verdict,” said. He said that data has recently been forwarded to the F.B.I. a recent ground-penetrating-radar investigation by a private company found disturbances and apparent objects below the surface of the soil that were near where the F.B.I. In the recent reports of both the New York Times and the Associated Press, I was quoted, insisting that the FBI might have missed the exact location of Hoffa’s unmarked grave. Upon receipt of its latest warrant, the FBI, in good faith, conducted an extensive search of the site and based on that evidence, came to its tragic conclusion that Hoffa was not there. This, by far, was the best lead I have ever seen in my 47 years of investigating this 47-year-old murder case.
To be clear, I would have been negligent if I had ignored all this evidence. Shortly thereafter, the FBI obtained sealed search warrants from a federal judge, who noted that “probable cause” existed that Hoffa’s remains might be in the alcove under the Pulaski Skyway. ►That the FBI and federal prosecutors, in good faith and upon the strength of this evidence, executed two affidavits in October 2021 and June 2022, detailing that evidence, and then submitted those sworn statements to the federal court in New Jersey. The GPR results were the principal reasons for our high confidence that Hoffa was still buried in the alcove. These revealing GPR examinations provided what appeared to be corroboration for what Frank Cappola had told me. ►That the ground-penetrating radar examinations (GPR) conducted by reputable civilian companies arranged separately by members of my team and by Fox News with me present were performed in good faith. Frank also offered to take a polygraph test.
At my request, Cappola executed a sworn declaration on October 7, 2019, detailing what his father told him. ►That Frank Cappola told me the truth during our thirty-plus hours of interviews between September 2019 and his death in March 2020 when he said that his father, Paul Cappola, a co-owner of the landfill, had buried Hoffa on the orders of his partner, Brother Moscato, near PJP. ►That Genovese-Mafia soldier Phillip “Brother” Moscato told me the truth during our many exclusive interviews between 2007 to 2014 when he said that “Picardo basically had it right,” adding that Hoffa was, indeed, buried at his dump. ►That Ralph Picardo told the FBI the truth in November 1975 when he said, among other things, that he believed that Jimmy Hoffa’s body was buried at Brother Moscato’s Dump. To be clear, this is the same site that I have been promoting for the past three years since September 2019 when I was shown the location by Frank Cappola who told me that his father had buried Hoffa in that alcove.īut even in the aftermath of this massive disappointment, I still believe: To my chagrin, the FBI announced that it had neither recovered nor discovered any evidence that Hoffa was buried at this location. On July 21, the New York Times and the Associated Press broke the news that in early June the FBI conducted a second court-authorized search for Hoffa’s unmarked grave in the alcove under the Pulaski Skyway in Jersey City near the PJP Landfill, aka “Brother Moscato’s Dump.”
