  • www.mysterywire.com/ Officially, the disappearance of Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa in 1975 has never been solved. The FBI believes Hoffa was murdered by mobsters, but who was the triggerman? Investigative reporter George Knapp reports the story of a man who says he’s the one who pulled the trigger, even though he and Hoffa were friends. Originally aired on Nov. 14, 2006, on KLAS TV in Las Vegas. Second of 3 Parts. #MysteryWire

    Sheeran's story is credible as to the facts. But what makes it all the more compelling is that it came out at the end of his life, basically on his deathbed. Deathbed confessions to long-past crimes deserve serious consideration as there are usually very few incentives to lie at that point, and quite a few disincentives, particularly that it risks changing how you are remembered by your family and friends.

      @@Swismcgraw Well, yes, obviously we still don't know the truth. I'm not saying we do. Nonetheless, at English common law, deathbed confessions (where the dying person knows he is dying and admits responsibility for a crime) were afforded special status under evidence rules. These confessions just happen to be more likely to be true. 'More likely' doesn't mean 'always' of course. So as amateur historians considering the potential veracity of Sheeran's story, we can choose to ignore his confession or not. Either is a valid approach to analysis with good reasons for it. I happen to think his admission of this crime, finally discharging the massive guilt he must have felt for killing his friend and destroying a family knew well, should be taken seriously.

    If Sheeran can say, "He (Hoffa) was one of the best men I ever knew," then I can't help but wonder that Sheeran (and anyone he regularly associated with) never put any value -- at all -- on genuinely decent people: i.e. folks who have a conscience and strive every day to do the right thing from moment to moment, trying to follow "The Golden Rule" in their dealings with other people. I try to avoid clichés like the word "evil," but for someone this cold-hearted and depraved, I think it fits. Their Karma follows them at death into their next lives.
