Jimmy Hoffa Is Missing-The Gap

Long-Held Family Secret-Until Now!

Beschreibung

"Jimmy Hoffa Is Missing" This was the main headline that appeared on the front page of The Detroit Free Press-Metro Edition on August 1, 1975. It was the first announcement of the disappearance of James Riddle Hoffa two days after he vanished from The Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Township, Michigan. "Last Seen Outside Restaurant" The tag line above the August 1, 1975 headlines would become the end of the trail for the FBI. Not only were they missing critical details known by the Tubmans, but thousands of other false leads meant there would be no possibility of solving and prosecuting the main suspects in the case. 'The Gap' (2:30-4:00 pm) This was the 90-Minute gap in time that Chuckie O'Brien's alibi could never seem to fill. His alibis were scattered and difficult to pin down. The FBI zeroed in on a 90-minute time period, which I call 'The Gap.' New evidence reveals exactly where Chuckie O'Brien went between 2:30 and 4:00 pm. Unfortunately, the case would hit a roadblock and no new evidence would surface. Since 1975 the question has remained unanswered. That is-Until Now! The Cover Photos: -The two photos I chose for the cover are of a maroon 1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham sedan. This is not the actual vehicle but is the same model car that Joey Giacalone loaned to Chuckie O'Brien. O'Brien admits that he drove the car all day long. He admits he even drove in the 'vicinity' of The Red Fox at about the same time Hoffa went missing at 2:45 pm but insisted Jimmy Hoffa was not in the car with him. -The photograph of the rear seat depicts where Jimmy Hoffa was last seen alive as he sat in the back of the 1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham. It was going from The Red Fox to a destination unknown to the FBI. Where's Jimmy Hoffa? The eyewitness statements within these pages will account for and answer that very question. With the new details from the Tubman family secret, this book will also add much new information to their account and work outward. The results are a logical, though circumstantial, trail that continues for another 15 minutes. The persons, the car, the activities inside the Mercury, where it went, and what was waiting for it when it arrived-tell a complete picture that convincingly explains the fate of James Riddle Hoffa.

Autor

The author, David W Tubman, is the son of these two eyewitnesses, Kenneth and Frances Tubman. That puts him in the unique position as the only mouthpiece alive for the eyewitnesses that tell more than they were ever meant to see when Jimmy Hoffa was abducted on July 30, 1975.It remained a 'Family Secret' for decades, but for good reason. David convinced his mother to finally reveal what they saw to the FBI in 2006. But it didn't end there as hoped. The author discovered in 2009 that the FBI did not do as promised and pass along the information to the Hoffa family 'for closure'. When phone calls to the daughter revealed the news was kept from them it was time to record Frances telling her story first-hand. The video link is given inside the book. That turned out to be a wise decision as she passed 2 years later and without the video recording, it would have simply been another hearsay story to be discounted.This is a true crime, historical news story, which includes a memoir about the eyewitnesses and why they chose not to come forward back in 1975. The author took the story and discovered thousands of documents and news articles that bolstered what the Tubmans observed and combined with all the evidence it likely resolves the half-century-old question: "What really happened to Jimmy Hoffa?"Every July 30th marks the anniversary of Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance, and the author believes it's finally time to reveal the details of the story to the public.
