I like how Sheeran or any theory can be exactly debunked when it is an unsolved murder where all the key players that did know anything are long gone.
If nobody knows who did it or the details, how can you rule anyone out?
Agreed. Dan Moldea who is the leading expert in the Hoffa investigation by far said this:
"I believe that Sheeran lured Hoffa into the car that took the controversial union leader to his death, but I also believe the actual hit man was New Jersey mobster Salvatore “Sally Bugs” Briguglio, who was murdered in March 1978."
While Frank was a drunk and a liar (which all criminals are liars), he was as close to Jimmy Hoffa as anybody. Jimmy's Hoffa's children said this:
The FBI admits that Frank was "known to be in Detroit area at the time of JRH disappearance, and considered to be a close friend of JRH," as the HOFFEX memo states.
Hoffa's son, current Teamsters President James P. Hoffa, told me in September 2001 that his father would have gotten into the car with Frank. He said that his father would not have taken that ride with some of the other FBI suspects whom I mentioned.
Not only did James P. Hoffa confirm that his father would have driven off with Frank, but his sister, Hoffa's daughter, Barbara Crancer, wrote Frank a poignant letter begging him to come clean about their father's fate.
In the one-page heartfelt note, handwritten to Frank on March 5, 1995, she wrote:
"It is my personal belief that there are many people who called themselves loyal friends who know what happened to James R. Hoffa, who did it and why. The fact that not one of them has ever told his family -- even under a vow of secrecy, is painful to me..."
She then underlined: "I believe you are one of those people."
Crancer confirmed to me that she wrote that letter.
***Since everybody's theory is just that, a theory...Sheeran was the first person who was listed as a top suspect in the Hoffa disappearance that spoke about it. Do I believe every word he said? Absolutely not. But I do believe some of his deathbed confession has some truth to it...much closer than anybody else has ever said.
Great post JCB.
Have you seen the movie?
I saw it on opening night at a small theatre in the Boston area. Personally, it was a masterpiece. Also, Deniro definitely looked his age while administering a beating...but other than that, all actors did a great job and the set, soundtrack, storyline was all fantastic. Goodfellas, Casino, Donnie Brasco etc all had dramatized fiction. IMO, this was one of the best projects Scorsese has done.
