Oakland Township, Michigan (CNN) -- The FBI -- working
on information from an aging reputed mobster -- began digging in the
waist-high grass of a Detroit-area field Monday in yet another search
for the remains of former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa, according to a law
enforcement source with direct knowledge of the investigation.
Mobster turned rat-fink Tony Zerilli, now in his 80's, says that Hoffa was buried in a Michigan field about 20 miles north of a restaurant where he was last seen in 1975.

Zerilli's attorney, David Chasnick, told reporters Monday that Zerilli was told, "Hoffa was hit with a shovel and buried alive under a slab of concrete".
"He wasn't shot, he wasn't stabbed, nothing like that. A cement slab of
some sort was placed on top of the dirt to make certain he was not going
to be discovered. And that was it. End of story," Zerilli's manuscript
says.

The Hoffa family wants closure. I understand that. But it just seems like a ridiculous waste of money and resources. When does this shiit end? They still going to be digging somewhere else a hundred years from now?

I haven't had direct experience with needing "closure" (ie. having the emotional need of recovering the remains and having a formal formal funeral, etc.).
Kind of like the "no man left behind" mantra in the military. I just don't understand the need to spend resources (and in the military, you're talking lives) to recover a body that is going to be buried. The person has died....their body no longer is functioning.
I can understand why the military would use this as a way of fostering comaraderie (spelling??), but it just seems like such a waste.
Can anyone else comment on this?

put yourself in their shoes. Lets say one of your loved ones went missing (not like Hoffa) just disappeared, do you think there would come a time when you would just write that person off.? Or would you wonder now and again about them till you died..Human nature i guess.
