DETROIT, May 28 (UPI) -- Detroit police Friday dismantled the floor of a house for clues in the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, the teamster boss who has not been seen since 1975.
Authorities brought a forensic team to the house in northwest Detroit, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The search was in response to earlier testing that Fox News said showed indications of blood.
Fox went to the house because of a book in which the late Philadelphia Teamsters official Frank Sheeran admits shooting Hoffa inside the home in July 1975. The book by Charles Brandt, former chief deputy attorney general in Delaware, is due out next week.
Sheeran was a longtime Hoffa loyalist who said in the book he had to kill Hoffa or be killed himself. Brandt gives details of Sheeran's confession in the book.
The FBI will determine whether the substance on the floor is human blood and whether it contains enough DNA to compare with Hoffa's, the Free Press said.
