Canton Trustee and Former FBI Agent: Hoffa Case Already Solved

John Anthony, a former FBI special agent and current Canton Township official, says Hoffa was abducted and murdered.

Canton Township Trustee John Anthony, a former FBI special agent, believes Jimmy Hoffa's body will never be found, according to a report by the Canton Observer.

Anthony correctly predicted no human remains would be found in soil removed from a Roseville home last week, the report said, 

Anthony worked part-time for several years on the Hoffa case after the former Teamsters union president disappeared July 30, 1975, in Bloomfield Hills, the report said. Anthony told the Observer he believes Hoffa was killed by organized crime members in Detroit and his remains were disposed of or created.
