DETROIT (AP) — Investigators looking into the 1975 disappearance of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa ripped up floor boards Friday in a Detroit house where traces of blood were uncovered by the Fox News Channel.
According to an upcoming book, a now-dead Pennsylvania Teamster official named Frank Sheeran claimed to have shot Hoffa inside the home in 1975. Fox sent experts to the house in March.

Why do I sense Geraldo Rivera's hand in this?
