Read full article: No sign of human remains found at site of Jimmy Hoffa dig in RosevilleROSEVILLE, Mich. – Soil samples taken from a Roseville backyard in connection with a search for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa show no sign of the presence of human remains.

Hoffa was last seen July 30, 1975, outside a restaurant in Oakland County, more than 30 miles to the west.

The tipster said he wasn't in the mafia himself, but ran with bookies -- one of whom allegedly lived in the Roseville home in 1975.
