LOCAL FBI Calling Off Hoffa Search

from CNN

The FBI is wrapping up its two-week search of a suburban Detroit horse farm after finding no trace of former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa's remains. Oakland County Prosecutor David Gorcyca said the search was ending without any remains found at the Hidden Dreams Farm in Milford Township.

Hoffa disappeared in July 1975 from a Detroit-area restaurant about 20 miles from Hidden Dreams Farm, land once owned by Hoffa associate Rolland McMaster.

On Monday, a Michigan congressman said it was time to set some spending limits on the search for Hoffa's remains.

When agents arrived at the farm earlier this month, based on a credible tip the search for the former Teamsters' boss' body was expected to take a couple of weeks and involve more than 40 FBI personnel, along with demolition experts, archaeologists and anthropologists.

The FBI defended its efforts in a statement last week, saying: "The expenditure of funds has always been necessary in each and every case the FBI works, and this one is no exception."
