Here's an excerpt from
today\'s Detroit Free Press. A tip from a 75-year-old federal inmate gave FBI agents what they're calling their latest and best chance yet to crack the 30-year-old mystery of what happened to former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.
The tip that Hoffa was buried on the farm came from Donovan Wells, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison two years ago in a marijuana smuggling scheme involving his Brownstown Township trucking company.
Wells, who also was known as Don Wells, is a former associate of McMaster, who was a top Detroit Teamsters official until a reputed falling-out with Hoffa in the late 1960s.
The article is very revealing, but skeptics don't believe the mob would have killed Hoffa then buried the body on an associate's farm which would be represent the worst possible scenario if the body were ever actually found.
But stranger things have happened, and dumber decisions have been made by the mob.
