The FBI found no evidence of Jimmy Hoffa s body during a search of land under a New Jersey bridge. Police believe disappeared in suburban Detroit in 1975 while meeting with mobsters.
Prosecutors said Wednesday that a hitman was hired to kill Samuel Pettyjohn
Pettyjohn, a close friend of union boss Jimmy Hoffa, knew too much they said
He was shot after testifying before a federal grand jury in Tennessee s notorious cash-for-clemency scandal, which ultimately ousted Governor Ray Blanton
Prosecutors now say Blanton s administration paid for Pettyjohn to be killed
After 42 years, investigators said that Ed Alley carried out the hit in 1979
