In just a few hours federal agents will be digging again in a field in Oakland Township, Michigan in search of the remains of Jimmy Hoffa. And they're going on the word of an aging mobster who claims the former teamsters boss was buried there shortly after he vanished in 1975.
Hoffa's disappearance nearly forty years ago has been one of the most enduring mysteries of our time.
CNN'S Mary Snow takes a closer look at our fascination with that.
“Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance has confounded authorities for nearly four decades,” Snow reports. “And despite his death the speculation remains alive, about what happened to him.”
There have been theories ranging from the concept that he wasn't killed to tips about the whereabouts of his remains ever since he was last seen outside a restaurant in suburban Detroit on July 30th, 1975. “None of the leads panned out.”
Imagine being stuck atop a cliff, thousands of feet in the air, and the dramatic rescue mission fit for a movie.
Two boys were stuck on the rocky spine of a ridge 8,600 feet up in the air and only a few feet wide on Saturday before California Highway Patrol plucked the boys to safety with the precision of a surgeon.
Miguel Marquez has the story.
“Bad decisions 16-year-old Austin Dreschler and a friend on a family camping trip will never forget in gorgeous but unforgiving nature,” Marquez says.
With high winds up to 30 miles per hour, Marquez explains the challenge for the patrol was lowering harnesses the boys themselves had to put on, then coming back around to have them hook up to be safely carried to a landing zone miles away. It took four passes before they were successful.
