A wild story has emerged at the start of a new month as a nonprofit group of cold case crime investigators believes it has located a site in Milwaukee where former Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa might be buried.
Former Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa was last seen on July 30, 1975. They believe he is buried where Milwaukee County Stadium once stood.
Jim Zimmerman, an investigator for The Case Breakers, spoke on their search extensive search and what led them to this moment.
“You kept seeing somebody would come out, ‘Well we know where Jimmy Hoffa is – he’s in New Jersey, he’s in this garbage dump,'” Zimmerman said. “Then he’s not there. It’d make it more intriguing each time.”
The Case Breakers said a “dying police sergeant’s scribbled instructions on an ace of spades” playing card helped lead their years-long investigation to the old site of Milwaukee County Stadium in Wisconsin, according to a Wednesday press release.
The alleged burial site is next to the current Milwaukee Brewers stadium, American Family Field.

“Independent sources in three states convinced the volunteer investigators that CSI forensics will reveal Hoffa’s remains at a little league field, in the shadow of Milwaukee’s MLB stadium,” the press release stated.
The group reportedly used ground-penetrating radar to scan the stadium and were greeted with a “disturbance in the soil” at third base. They also brought one of the “top” cadaver dog experts to the site and her dog gave a positive signal several times.
“We organized the search, had to work around the Brewers’ playoff schedule,” said Jim Christy. “Think it’s a good 80%, 85% chance something happened there because cadaver dogs don’t make those kind of mistakes.”
The next step is to work with local law enforcement and the FBI to dig at the site and Case Breakers says the feds have already agreed to “dig in” to the new claims after doing a “verbal walk-through” with Case Breakers team member and 42-year federal investigator Jim Christy.
After coming up missing, Hoffa was legally declared dead in 1982.
