In fact they want I'd -- this guy at all and they believe the reason this guy thinks that Jimmy hoffa's buried beneath that drive way.

Is that he is assuming it's off of the 'cause Hoffa disappeared about the same time that somebody.

It could be a suitcase.

So what they'll do is they'll take soil samples from beneath the driveway because they don't want to dig it up just yet.

And they'll have the soil samples analyzed and if in fact those samples to come back come back to be human remains.

That's when they'll go back and they'll dig up the entire driveway but cops not the only ones who were interest -- in this listen.

I was in -- union when.

Jimmy went missing you know so so I -- -- A interest of course.
