Forty-six years ago some mobsters kidnapped Teamsters union boss Jimmy Hoffa and took him somewhere to kill him.
His remains never have been found. Until now. Maybe.
Someone reportedly found a barrel with human remains under a New Jersey bridge. The remains will be taken somewhere for careful forensic examination and evaluation.

It’s been so long since Hoffa’s disappearance in 1975 and there have been so many conspiracies floated about where he ended up that it well might be that the conspiracies won’t die any time soon. There even have been sick jokes tossed out there; some of them, I admit, have actually made me laugh out loud.
However, Hoffa’s family surely needs some closure to this drama. I decline to call it a “tragedy,” because Jimmy Hoffa was not a sympathetic character. He was a bad dude who hung out with other bad dudes.
However, I am hoping this supposed discovery provides an ending.
