Content: The case remains an open investigation to this day, though Jimmy Hoffa was officially declared dead in 1982. The reality is that nobody knows for sure what happened to the infamous union leader and no forensic investigation to-date has ever amounted to anything approaching a clear picture of what happened to him. Still, theories abound; many of them are well-known and adequately gruesome to garner continued public fascination. In fact, Hoffa’s body has suffered so much hypothetical abuse at the hands of the mob that it has transformed into the cultural meme that it is today. Jimmy Hoffa ‘Goes Deep’ At Giants Stadium
Wikimedia Commons The old Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands of East Rutherford, New Jersey. Arguably the most well-known and enduring theories about Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance is that he was shot, dismembered, frozen, and then buried in the cement foundation of Giants Stadium, then-located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The story first entered the public consciousness in 1989 when Donald Frankos gave an interview to Playboy Magazine where he claimed that Hoffa was killed by a New York Irish mafia boss by the name of Jimmy Coonan and buried at the home field of the New York Giants and New York Jets football teams. According to Frankos, after Coonan shot Hoffa with a silenced .22-caliber pistol in a house in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, he and New York Mafia hitman John Sullivan cut up Hoffa’s body with a power saw and meat cleaver, bagged up the body parts, and stored them in a freezer for months. Later, the bags were driven to the open construction site of Giant Stadium — which opened the following year — and the bags were mixed into the concrete foundation under what became section 107.
