Looks like I found a book to read

 

 

Marvin is sure Hoffa's body rests in the concrete footing of the Renaissance Center, which was under construction at the time of his disappearance. The story Marvin heard from Detroit mobsters is that after Hoffa was snatched and killed, practically every union carpenter in and around the city was called in to rush the construction of wooden forms needed for pouring concrete at the Renaissance project. As soon as the forms were in place, the concrete flowed, tons of it; ahead of schedule. Never before or since has he heard of his union brothers working so diligently to get a project done.

 

"There was a mad rush to get the concrete poured," Marvin says. At some point, he says, someone slipped Hoffa's body into the wet cement, where it was encased beneath what is now Detroit's most visible landmark.

They should have put all union members there with him.

Let's hope they don't chisel him out cuz he would still be able to kick Obama's ass in the next collective bargaining agreement.

Concrete foundations especially skyscrapers are a maze of reinforcing bars commonly known as rebar. They provide the tensile strength that pure concrete lacks. Interestingly enough concrete and steel expand and contract identically according to temperature, this fact is the basis behind modern construction techniques. The point is that they wouldn't have slipped Hoffa into this quicksand ocean of concrete. They would have had to stuff him in some contorted fashion between the webbing of all that rebar.

 

Wonder what the impact of the void is on the structural integrity of the foundation. Improperly distributed concrete pourings cause what's known as honey combing. They use a giant electric ###### vibrator that stuff in the holes between the rebar, if they halfass it or just suck it honeycombs

Didnt they already find his blood or dna or something in some stairwell a few years back? Some old fart on his deathbed said he shot him in the back
