Frank Sheeran是如何承认他在家中 how Frank Sheeran claims he shot Hoffa
开枪射击了Hoffa后脑两次 two times in the back of the head in his house.
Sheeran是特拉华州卡车司机工会主席 Sheeran was a Delaware Teamsters union president,
自称是黑帮杀手 a self-confessed mob hitman,
Jimmy Hoffa的亲密朋友 a close friend of Jimmy Hoffa,
也是新书的主题之一 and the subject of a new book.
他说是黑帮下令杀死Hoffa He says the mob ordered Hoffa's death
来阻止他竞选卡车司机工会主席 to prevent him from running for the Teamsters' presidency.
Scott Frank Sheeran是 宾夕法尼亚州和特拉华州 Scott Frank Sheeran was a high-ranking union official
一名工会高级官员 out of Pennsylvania and Delaware,
同时也是一名 与黑帮有牵扯的高层 as well as a high-ranking mob associate
与Russell Bufalino关系亲密 that was very close to Russell Bufalino.
他曾做过Bufalino的保安和司机 He was Bufalino's bodyguard and driver.
他同时也经常在黑帮和Hoffa He was another man that would often act
充当中间人或者联络员的角色 as a go-between or a liaison between the mob and Hoffa.
？？Frank Sheeran声称他同黑帮老大Bufalino一起 驾车前往俄亥俄州 并坐飞机至底特律 枪杀了Jimmy Hofffa
他们在托莱多市附近 俄亥俄州克林顿港停了下来 David They stopped at Port Clinton in Ohio, near Toledo.
Sheeran走了出来 登上了一架小型私人飞机 Sheeran gets out, climbs on a small private plane,
然后飞往了底特律市 and they fly to Detroit
and they land at the Pontiac Airport.
Sheeran gets on a car that's waiting for him,
drives to this location,
picks up a couple of guys,
goes up to the Machus Red Fox to get Jimmy,
bring him back, and Sheeran kills him.
But I had a pilot tell me you can't just fly a private plane
to Pontiac Airport Metro Airport.
You got to get around the air traffic area.
And he found his story to be a little improbable.
George You're going to get somebody like Frank Sheeran
who also claims to have been involved
in the murder of Joey Gallo
and also claims to have provided the guns
that were used in the Kennedy assassination.
Well, if those things are true,
this guy sitting under the radar for a very, very long time
and it's kind of hard to believe.
Dan They heard that Sheeran was writing a book,
and they wanted to bring me on as a consultant
about Sheeran.
But then that one fell apart
because they just caught him in so many lies
and that apparently, Maria Shriver had done the interview.
Once again, they're going to bring me on as a consultant,
and once again, Sheeran's lies just cause
the whole thing to fall apart.
In 2001, he says Sal Briguglio was the killer.
Then 2003, when Dateline NBC calls me,
there was one different thing.
I said, What's that
He says, Sheeran's now claiming that he is the killer.
And I go, like, He is saying himself
that he did the job
And he said, Yeah.
He says, What's more valuable,
a book by a guy who was there
or a book by a guy who actually pulled the trigger
David I don't know what motivates a guy
to make up the story that says he killed Hoffa before he died.
？？
Well, these guys don't think the way the rest of us do.
I mean Sheeran was mostly concerned about the money
because he was going to die and he was broke,
and he needed to leave some money to his family.
Keith I never bought the Frank Sheeran story.
I mean if you're the Mafia, all right
If you're organized crime
and you're going to kill a person like Jimmy Hoffa,
kidnap and kill him,
why would you bring a guy
who's not part of your organization,
who's not subject to the rules and discipline,
who hasn't agreed to what you believe in
Why would you bring in somebody from the outside
They certainly had more than enough people capable
and, in the government's opinion,
more than enough people who murdered people in the past
There is no need to go outside and find anybody else.
Scott I have a hard time believing his story
strictly based on the fact
where he claims the murder took place.
He claims it took place off 7 Mile in Detroit
on a street named Beaverland,
which would be a good 20, 25-minute drive
from the Machus Red Fox.
And it's a house that he can't source to anybody,
he can't claim whose house it was
or why they took him there.
Dan There was a DNA analysis done
on the blood stains found in the entrance to the house.
They proved not to be Hoffa,
which was really disappointing to a lot of us
because we really wanted to see this thing done
once and for all.
Scott I personally have a difficult time believing
that the Mafia would set up the Hoffa hit
in any place that wasn't 100% controlled.
？？
Richard He thought he was speaking to somebody
who was a large-scale Italian drug importer from Europe
who came through Canada.
？？
And Tony Palazzolo brought the RCMP officer
to this sausage factory.
And as the RCMP officer described it,
it was like a
organized crime hall of fame.
When he walked in, he saw pictures on the wall
of Lucky Luciano, Al Capone.
There were crossed shotguns,
as if they were crossed sabers.
During the course of that conversation,
which was used at the trial,
Tony Palazzolo pointed to the Auger, which was enormous,
and he said, That's where Jimmy Hoffa is, or was.
That's where we put him.
And that is where I believe Jimmy Hoffa went.
I think he was ground up, churned up,
and put in sausage or otherwise.
Scott Tony Palazzolo is definitely known
as someone that was looked at
as a possible participant in the Hoffa hit.
He is someone that is currently in the 2000s
a Detroit mob captain
but at the time of the disappearance
was a up-and-coming young buck in the mob
that had made his name as a bodyguard and driver
for Peter Bozzi Vitale.
The Vitales are another group of mobsters
that had a lot of close ties with Jimmy Hoffa
and the Teamsters.
The fact that Tony Palazzolo
might have been involved in this
is frankly very easy to believe.
？？
Keith How did they get Jimmy into a car
when he was at the Red Fox
supposedly meeting Tony Giacalone
If he goes, they seize him.
Who went to meet him
Who was there to pick him up
And who was there to explain
why he couldn't go with Tony Giacalone
Billy Giacalone, his whereabouts on that day
are certainly not nearly as well known as his brother's.
If Billy had said, Hey, look, Jimmy,
Tony can't make it.
He is here or there.
Let's get in the car.
Dan I know Vito Giacalone is in this thing.
Vito Giacalone is right in the middle of this whole thing.
I just can't figure out exactly where he is.
Mike The State Police have been following
Billy Giacalone around that week that Hoffa disappeared.
They went out that morning that Hoffa disappeared
looking for him, and they couldn't find him,
and nobody saw him all day,
so that tells me that he was probably there
as the Detroit representative.
Scott I believe, after talking to numerous sources,
both in the FBI and on the street itself,
guys that are actually in the mob,
I believe that Hoffa was taken less than two miles away
to the house of Carlo Licata.
Licata was a Detroit mob member, a mob soldier,
who was the brother-in-law of Jack and Tony Tocco.
？？
Licata's house was less than a five-minute drive
from the Machus Red Fox.
Licata's house was also a place that Hoffa had been
to meet the Giacalones on several occasions before.
It was a house that was used as a meeting point.
Licata himself was a trusted member of the family,
related to the administration,
as well as the house was almost a perfect location
in the sense that it was back on a hill,
removed from the road.
Greg We think that he probably went to
Licata's house that wasn't too far.
Mike I think they got him in a house,
and I think Billy Giacalone was probably there.
I think somebody like Andrettas, Briguglio,
somebody like that was there,
and he was killed,
and then he was taken and disposed of pretty quickly.
Greg We think that they disposed of the body
by taking it to the sanitation place
where they had contacts.
Scott I'm convinced that within a half hour to a hour
of Hoffa breathing his last breath
that he was incinerated,
that the body ceases to exist,
and the ability to get rid of the body
was incredible with the Detroit mob
in the sense that they had three separate
sanitation companies all owned by mob members,
and the one that everyone looks at primarily,
Central Sanitation,
was owned by Jimmy Quasarano,
Paul and Peter Vitale,
and Carlo Licata.
Keith There are a number of people that think
Central Sanitation, the facility,
played a role in the disappearance of the body
of James Hoffa,
and clearly, Quasarano and Vitale
would have been people,
because of their equity interest in that company,
who would have,
had to be involved in the decision.
And remember, shortly after the events took place,
Central Sanitation burned to the ground.
Scott And what I believe really puts the theory over the edge
is that on the sixth-year anniversary
of Hoffa's disappearance,
on July 30th, 1981,
Carlo Licata himself ended up dead at that house
of two gunshot wounds to the chest.
It was ruled a suicide,
but there are a lot of people,
both on the street and in law enforcement,
that believe this was anything but a suicide,
that this was a message.
Keith And obviously, Mr. Licata met his demise in that
？？
whether it's generally considered to be a pedestrian manner.
Scott Anyone that would even consider giving information
about the Hoffa hit, no matter how close they are
to the leaders of the mob,
they will be sacrificed.
？？
Voiceover The report names Carlos Marcello
and Santo Trafficante
as the most likely organized crime bosses
to have been involved.
It provides evidence, some of it inconclusive,
that they and Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa
threatened John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, or both.
Further, it suggests associations through which
they could have influenced accused assassin,
Lee Harvey Oswald,
or Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby.
