To begin with, it makes no sense that Northeast mob families would be given the task of whacking Hoffa, whose murder was likely sanctioned by the Mafia Commission since he was such a prominent national figure. He was an associate of the Detroit family. They could do it without raising Hoffa's suspicions. And too many things could go wrong with a plan involving a New Jersey hit team traveling to Detroit, killing Hoffa and then transporting his body 600 miles for burial in the Garden State.
Chucky O'Brien knows a lot more than he has led on. Tony Jack lured Hoffa to a supposed truce meeting. The evidence for that is a reminder note that Hoffa left on his desk. In addition, Hoffa told others about this meeting. Outside the Machus Red Fox restaurant, Hoffa was picked up, probably by Giacalone's brother Vito (Billy Jack), possibly with a few others. Billy Jack's presence would make sense to Hoffa since he was to meet with his brother.
Billy Jack's location that day has not been pinned down. Hoffa may have been killed in the car, or somewhere else. His body was most likely disposed of in the Detroit area. It was a very small group that greatly decreased the likelihood that an informer could learn of it, and rat to the Feds. All the Detroit characters are deceased now, thus there is little chance we will ever get a full account of the famous hit, let alone find Hoffa's body.
