I guess that means we'll probably never find Jimmy Hoffa's body!

Mac,

It won't be found.

There were no operational shredders of that magnitude in the area at the time, but there were multiple crushers two of which delivered cubed cars directly to the steel plants.

I reckon he'll be found when we get around to fixing the infrastructure in this country. He'll be in a crumbling overpass column.

I remember watching the news some whiole later when a mafioso was being escorted into either court or jail and a reporter hollered "Where's Jimmy Hoffa" and the guy smiled and says "Jimmy? He's nowhere at all"
