No Human Remains Found in Search for Hoffa in Roseville

Soil samples taken from a driveway in Roseville where a tipster alleged Jimmy Hoffa was buried did not have any signs of human decomposition, Roseville police reported Tuesday.

Roseville police chief James Berlin issued a release that stated following a series of tests at Michigan State University, no signs of human remains were found in the soil samples taken from behind a home Friday.

Berlin added that police department "will be concluding their investigation into the possible interment of a human body upon the property," according to the release.

Police took samples, with the assistance of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality personnel, on the soil at the home located near Common and Gratiot, following a tip that a body was buried at the home. According to The Detroit News, the tip came from a Hoffa biographer that the union leader may be buried at the home.

This is the latest search for Hoffa, who was last seen leaving the former Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Township in 1975. The site is currently the Joe Vicari's Andiamo Italian Steakhouse. Speculation about Hoffa's final resting place has intrigued law enforcement, conspiracy theorists and Hollywood scriptwriters for decades. Possible locales that over the years include under Giants Stadium in New York, freeways in Detroit and a barn in Milford, and now this non-descript driveway. None panned out or lead to a better understanding of Hoffa's fate.
