    We were told Jimmy Hoffa was buried in a metal barrel -- guess what Fox Nation found

    Jimmy Hoffa could be encased in a metal barrel tomb in New Jersey.

    Fox Nation has found what appears to be multiple large buried pieces of curved metal, that could indicate steel drums arranged on top of each other, that fit the description of where Hoffa was buried in a 55-gallon steel drum, with additional drums piled on top of his, in 1975.

    "He couldn't fit in the drum body first, feet first. They had to turn him and put him in head first," Frank Cappola told Fox Nation, describing how he says his father, Paul Cappola Sr., pushed the remains of the iconic labor leader into a steel drum when the body was delivered to him at his mob-connected Jersey City dump days after Hoffa vanished just outside Detroit.

    "He couldn't get the legs to bend right," he said. "Don't take this the wrong way, because he had a lot of respect for Hoffa, but he said 'they couldn't fit the fat little man in a barrel feet first.' So they put him in headfirst and then they pushed the cover on top of him. And then they buried him."

    Cappola said his father then dug a 12-foot-deep hole with an excavator, dumped the drum holding Hoffa's remains into the pit, and then piled more than one dozen 55-pound steel drums on top of Hoffa's, before filling the hole in with dirt to cover up the evidence. He said he was "99 point-99-point-99 percent sure" and "would bet my life" that Hoffa was there.

    Fox Nation also found an underground pit that was at some point filled in with different dirt at the spot.
    The discovery of the buried curved metal pieces, and the filled-in pit where Cappola said Hoffa’s remains can be found, is revealed in Fox Nation's latest episode of "Riddle, The Search for James R. Hoffa."

    The show is a four-part series that delves into the disappearance of the former International Brotherhood of Teamsters president, with the goal of trying to finally solve the case. Hoffa was murdered after he disappeared on July 30th, 1975 while on his way to a suspected meeting with Mafia bosses, including infamous New Jersey Genovese crime family Capo and Teamsters Union leader Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano, who ruled the area where Cappola told us Hoffa is buried.

    Fox Nation hired Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, a nationwide company that uses radar technology and high-frequency electromagnetic radio waves that reflect objects underground, to search for any evidence of buried barrels. The radar revealed numerous curved shapes, like half-moon objects on top of each other, that GPRS Project Manager and specialized radar technician Steve Psihoules told us are pieces of metal, along with a delineated underground pack of dirt, indicating that a pit had at one time been dug and then filled in.......(CONTINUED)

    Of Course his remains are in NJ. In those days, toxic waste disguised everything. At that time, for the third smallest State, we had over 100 sites. Become Fascinated and re watch "The Irishman". Stanton Island is intriguing as you drive I-78 you'll notice one of the largest land fills on either side of the highway. Now that would have been ideal for a Hoffa site because the garbage industry was/is a Mafia staple.

    That canned mobster has an expiration date!.....or it's another Geraldo digging up Capone's basement for dirt! Kind of weird form of treasure hunting in my view.can you imagine how many skeletons are buried in Jersey? I'm going to guess quite a few.

    Here, in Jersey, we don't count. Never mention that to a stranger with a menacing look.
