Journalist's Decade-Long Pursuit Uncovers Shocking Truths in Hoffa Disappearance

As of August 2025, a team of journalists led by veteran Fox News reporter Eric Shawn has spent the last seven years unraveling the decades-old mystery surrounding the 1975 disappearance of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa. What began as a seemingly impossible assignment has evolved into some of the most important work of Shawn's three-decade career in journalism.

Shawn and his team have traveled extensively, interviewing former attorneys, reporters, experts, and historians, and even revisiting key locations. Their investigation has cast doubt on several prominent theories, including the claim that Hoffa was transported to New Jersey and buried at Moscato's Dump in Jersey City. The team's research has also cleared the name of Gabriel Briguglio, a suspect long associated with the case.

Remarkably, the team's reporting has even prompted the FBI to conduct a dig under the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey in 2021, though Hoffa's remains were not found. Despite this, Shawn has remained undeterred, continuing to meticulously sift through FBI files, cold leads, and firsthand interviews.

In early 2025, the team achieved a significant milestone by finally sitting down with James P. Hoffa, the son of the missing labor leader. The interview provided the Hoffa family with a long-awaited sense of closure, as James P. Hoffa expressed his gratitude for Fox News' unwavering commitment to the case.

Shawn's dedication to this investigation has been unparalleled, as he has never lost sight of the human cost of the story or his pursuit of the truth. His team's work has set a new standard for investigative journalism, and their findings continue to shape the ongoing efforts to uncover the fate of Jimmy Hoffa.
