HISTORY OF ORGANIZED CRIME
ACTIVITY IN THE UPPER PENINSULA

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan was known as a hide out place for criminals in the past. The history of famous

Gangster JOHN DILLINGER "Hiding out" in Michigan's UPPER PENINSULA is one example of this trend.

THE UPPER PENINSULA LINKED TO THE INVESTIGATION OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JIMMY HOFFA

This is a recent photo of Jimmy Hoffa's cabin near Iron River on Tepee Lake, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. Sources tell that the cabins and property are still owned by relatives in the Hoffa family.

The FBI's Hoffex Memo mentions this property seen below on page 9 .

Jimmy Hoffa was there in July of 1975 and suddenly returned home to Lake Orion unexpectedly.

We believe the reason he returned home was due to reports he received

concerning recent violent activity occurring down in the Detroit Area connected

to the Teamsters Union and organized crime activity. Photo by Steve Drummond

Page 9 of the FBI's Hoffex Memo

Lake 13 Hunt/Fish Club property was several miles from Jimmy Hoffa's cabin. It is where Hoffex Memo suspect Charles Chuckie O'Brien assisted in establishing a private lodge for members of the Teamsters Union to lease from Jimmy Hoffa and was mentioned in the McLellan Hearings. This property was purchased from profits Hoffa made from the Test Fleet/Hobren trucking company which was established for him as a "favor" by the owners and CEOs of a huge trucking company called Commercial Carriers after he settled a wildcat strike for them in1948 and 1949. This favor was deemed a violation of the Taft Hartley Act which Hoffa and others were indicted for. The Co-owner of Commercial Carriers at that time was Walter F. Carey who was also the president of the ATA American Trucking Association. Hoffa and Carey are connected in business relationships tied to Hoffa's court cases and eventual imprisonment.

PHOTOS FROM THE ISLAND

These photos help to corroborate our podcast episode: Location, Location, Location.

The above photo shows where the structure was, for unknown reasons, cut into by a sophisticated process of removal and replacement. The measurements of this area in question are 6 feet long by 2 feet wide. Under the surface is a foundation of large limestone boulders extending below the surface of the water.

The above photo contains decaying remnants of a steel drum and bands from a large barrel. These items were concealed on Walter F. Carey's Upper Peninsula property. In 1975 two protected witnesses informed the FBI that the body of Jimmy Hoffa was transported in a steel drum shipped by Gateway Transportation truck and disposed of in an unknown location. Another confidential FBI witness reported the body was possibly transported in a pickle barrel. Note the barrel bands and a steel drum are still present on this property.

The above photos are of the Upper Peninsula property owned by the previously mentioned Walter F. Carey in 1975. Multiple witness's have verified on the night of July 30, 1975, a construction crew was in the process of pouring a large quantity of concrete at this site. The crew was unexpectedly ordered to leave this property and to come back the next day to complete their work. The following morning when they returned, all the concrete had been mysteriously poured. Some unknown people had come during the night and completed the job. No explanation has ever been provided for this nefarious event. To this day there is only one explanation for what happened, something was purposely concealed at this site in concrete the night Jimmy Hoffa disappeared.

Walter F. Carey and Jimmy Hoffa were also co-defendants in 1962 in another trial, "The People versus Automobile Transporters Welfare Fund" by the New York Supreme Court. They were defended by Hoffa's personal lawyer and Teamster's attorney, David Previant.

Many reports include that Hoffa's body was deposited under concrete in the waters of the Great Lakes region. To quote former Mafia Capo, Micheal Franzese, Hoffa's body is "in a place that is very wet."

PHOTOS FROM THE HORSE FARM

These photos corroborate our podcast episode: Deja Vu

The top left photo was taken in June of 2021.

Note, a backhoe is still present on the property.

This property, located in Wixom, Michigan, was owned by Hoffa

suspect Rolland McMaster and his brother in law Stanton Barr.

These men owned vacation property in the Upper Peninsula.

Their wives were sisters from Sault Ste Marie, Michigan.

In 2006, the FBI searched this horse farm for the body of Jimmy Hoffa.

This was based on information from a confidential informant tying a Gateway Transportation truck from Stanton Barr's truck terminal that was allegedly

used to ship the body of Hoffa to an unknown destination for burial.
