FBI will investigate confession on Hoffa By David Ashenfelter, Knight Ridder
DETROIT — The FBI plans to investigate a former Pennsylvania Teamsters official's purported deathbed confession that says he helped dispose of the body of Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa.
The confession, said to have been written by Francis Sheeran before he died Dec. 14 at age 83 in a Philadelphia-area nursing home, says he flew to Pontiac, Mich., on the day Hoffa disappeared, picked up Hoffa's body from the killers and drove it to a Hamtramck, Mich., trash incinerator where it was burned.
