Watch what we found in the "Riddles, Finding James R. Hoffa" series on Fox Nation now

Fox News learned that the FBI obtained a sealed search warrant to inspect a site under the Pulaski Viaduct in Jersey City, New Jersey, where Fox National reported that Jimmy Hoffa might be buried there. This may result in a new excavation of the remains of the legendary labor leader who disappeared in Detroit on July 30, 1975.

The site was a small piece of land, just steps away from the property line of a garbage dump connected by a former mob, and Hoffa was allegedly buried a few days after he disappeared. The garbage dump, PJP landfill, commonly known as "Moscato Garbage Ground", was owned by Phil "brother" Moscato, a member of the Genovese crime family at the time, and businessman Paul Capola. 

Capola’s son Frank told Fox Nation that his father buried Hoffa in a metal bucket, used an excavator to dig a hole 12 feet deep, and piled up more on the one with Hoffa’s body. Many buckets, and then covered the hole with dirt and debris.

These revelations were originally reported as part of the Fox Nation series "Riddles: Looking for James R. Hoffa" and are now the focus of the fourth episode of the streaming service. A former member of the powerful Genovese family Capo Anthony "Tony Pro" Porvenzano's New Jersey crew member Ralph Picardo claimed that after Hoffa was killed in Detroit, his body was packed in a 55-gallon drum.

In March 2020, Fox Nation hired Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, a ground-penetrating radar company, to conduct an underground survey of the site using UHF electromagnetic waves that can detect buried metals. Fox Nation discovered what the radar technicians said were several large round pieces of metal, half-moon-shaped like the sides of a barrel, buried on top of each other, starting from the exact position pointed out by Capola about 4 feet down, as he said As said. They have already been described.

"I would bet he is still there," Frank Capola told Fox Nation. "This will lead to him being found."

Capola said his father decided to change the location where he was first ordered to place his body "after get off work" because he did not want to find Hoffa's body on his garbage dump.

"He can't play the drum," he said of Hoffa. "They couldn't put him on the drum foot first. His legs couldn't bend correctly, so he had to take him out and put him on his head first."

"He has been very frustrated with this all his life. He was told to do this. My father is neither smart nor tough. He is a businessman," he said. "But he must be in that position, because if you don't, they will do it to you."

The dump was a notorious toxic waste site in the 1970s and was eventually declared a Federal Super Fund site. It was cleaned and restored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and national agencies in the 1980s. Ten thousand barrels full of toxic waste were removed. However, EPA records show that the site has never been inspected. The location is not part of the area in the cleanup plan. Mario Verdibello, who was in charge of the cleanup at the time, told Fox Nation that he did not believe that the location Frank pointed out had been inspected and cleaned up.

As part of the Fox Nation series, Cappola first told the famous Hoffa expert and writer Dan Moldea about his claims and brought him to the scene. Moldea cooperated with Fox Nation's investigation and has been investigating Hoffa's disappearance in depth for the past 46 years. In 1978, he wrote the landmark book "Hoffa War" and believed that Frank's statement was credible.

"Frank's story—I've heard some great stories—but Frank's story is the best story I've heard about this case since I first started investigating this story in 1975," Moldea said.

The FBI will not comment on the investigation, but it did issue a statement confirming that the agents inspected the location.

"Last month, the FBI obtained a search warrant to conduct an on-site investigation under Pulaski Skyway. On October 25 and 26, FBI personnel from Newark and Detroit field offices completed the investigation and are currently analyzing the data. Because The affidavit has been sealed by the court in support of the search warrant, and we are unable to provide any other information."

Capola hopes that law enforcement will dig up the location he designated to determine whether Hoffa's body is indeed there. If this happens, Capola will not be able to see it alive. Four months after our interview, he died of lung problems at the age of 63.

"I want this person to go home and reunite with his family," Capola told us. "He needs to go home to reunite with his family."
