Sept 26 (Reuters) - Police plan to examine a Detroit-area
driveway in the latest twist in the search for the remains of
former Teamsters union leader Jimmy Hoffa, who disappeared in
1975 in what authorities believe may have been an organized
crime hit, the Detroit Free Press said on Wednesday.Police received a tip that "seemed credible" that Hoffa's
remains could be buried at a house in Roseville, a suburb
northeast of Detroit, Roseville Police Chief James Berlin told
the Detroit Free Press.
Berlin said the informant thought he saw something
suspicious about the time that Hoffa disappeared. He did not
elaborate on what the informant said he saw.
A ground-scanning radar test last Friday found "an anomaly,"
and police plan to take soil core samples on Friday that will be
tested to determine if there are human remains at the site,
Berlin told the newspaper.
A spokesman for the FBI's office in Detroit declined to
comment on the report. The FBI has headed up the investigation
since shortly after Hoffa disappeared from outside a restaurant
