Although not claiming conclusively to establish the specifics of his disappearance, the memo records a belief that Hoffa was murdered at the behest of organized crime figures, who regarded his efforts to regain power in the Teamsters as a threat to their control of the union's pension fund.
Who really killed James Hoffa?
Sheeran was a leading figure involved in the infiltration of unions by organized crime in the 1960s and 70s. In 1980, he was convicted of labor racketeering and sentenced to 32 years in prison, of which he served 13 years. Shortly before his death in 2003, he claimed to have killed Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa in 1975.
What happened to Hoffa's body?
He's buried beneath a Georgia golf course. But don't worry, it's not Augusta National. Instead Hoffa is allegedly buried beneath a green at Savannah Inn and Golf Country Club, located on Wilmington Island just off the coast of Georgia.
