The FBI is apparently digging in various locations at a Michigan horse farm once used for Mafia meetings looking for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa. They are following up on information they say was developed a few years ago but just recently confirmed.
Asked if they were looking for Hoffa's remains, FBI Agent Dawn Clenney said, "Could be," and declined to comment further on the agents' presence.
A law enforcement official in Washington said the search was based on information developed several years ago and verified more recently.
The information indicated there was a high level of suspicious activity on the farm the day Hoffa vanished, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing. A backhoe appeared near a barn that organized crime members had used for meetings, but that location was never used again after Hoffa disappeared, the official said.
Clenney said the bureau receives numerous leads about Hoffa.
"This is one we felt we needed to follow up on," she said.
I guess this means no more digging at the Meadowlands?
