A nonprofit group of cold case crime investigators believes it has found the site in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where former Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa is buried.
The Case Breakers said “instructions scrawled by a dying police sergeant on an ace of spades playing card” helped lead their years-long investigation to the old Milwaukee County Stadium site in Wisconsin, according to a Wednesday press release.
The alleged burial site is next to the Milwaukee Brewers’ current stadium, American Family Field, where they believe Hoffa’s remains lie where the demolished stadium’s third-base line once stood.
Jim Zimmerman, a 13-year member of Case Solvers and a former police officer, is credited with locating an ace of spades playing card they say was written by a dying police sergeant believed to be involved in Hoffa’s kidnapping.
“Independent sources in three states convinced volunteer investigators that CSI forensics would uncover Hoffa’s remains on a minor league field, in the shadow of Milwaukee’s MLB stadium,” the press release stated.
Three credible witnesses allegedly claimed that six years before the demolition of Milwaukee County Stadium, Hoffa’s body was moved from another location and “secretly buried in 1995 under 3rd base of the old stadium.”

The alleged burial site is now located outside the fence of the Little League stadium, Helfaer Field, which was built in 2002 in the middle of the parking lot that replaced the old stadium.
Case Breakers went to the location, using old aerial photos and GPS satellite images, and used “ground penetrating radar at remote locations three times.” The operator’s equipment was unable to detect beyond 5 feet because, according to Case Breakers, an “unexpected layer of clay” blocked the radar which they believed indicated an excavation had taken place that was “hastily dug up and backfilled.”
Additionally, Case Breakers founder Thomas J. Colbert told Fox News Digital that the team brought one of its “top” cadaver dog experts to the site, retired cop Carren Corcoran, and his dog gave positive signals several times.

“This girl has, I believe the number is over 200 cases of finding either dead or missing,” Colbert said. “He was amazing and he brought in his dog and where did the dog go? Right where the ground penetrating radar was three years ago and that’s where we got excited.”
The dog, named Moxy, “pointed, waved, barked and sniffed at the 4 ‘hits’ at the old stadium’s 3rd base location,” the press release said.
The next step, Colbert told Fox News Digital, is to work with local law enforcement and the FBI to excavate the site, and Case Breakers says the feds have agreed to “excavate” new claims after doing a “verbal walk through” with members of the Case Breakers team. and 42-year-old federal investigator Jim Christy.

Hoffa, the legendary labor leader who was president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, disappeared on July 30, 1975.

Hoffa, who had been released from federal prison on fraud and corruption charges, was determined to regain his old job as Teamsters president, and the sit-in was intended to further his cause. But the Mafia was against him, and Hoffa’s unyielding stubbornness is believed to have cost him his life.
Over the years, several excavations have been conducted in the search for Hoffa’s remains without positive results, including a search under a New Jersey bridge in 2022.
Hoffa was legally declared dead in 1982.
