Jimmy Hoffa buried at Georgia golf course once popular with Mafia bosses, defense lawyer claims
Fox News
Former criminal defense lawyer Reginald Haupt, Jr. said the FBI has looked into claims that Jimmy Hoffa is buried under a hole at an exclusive golf course
"It made this the perfect place," he said. "Bring him here where they can keep an eye on him. They can't go to New Jersey on Mafia property and keep an eye on anybody. They did not want to let Hoffa go and they did not want anybody to find him." Haupt was describing the former Savannah Inn and Golf Country Club on Wilmington Island, on the banks of the Savannah River. In its time, the resort was an elegant and off-the-path destination that was an exclusive playground for mobsters, Hollywood royalty and the local Southern gentility of high society. The majestic 1927 hotel building that dominates the fairways was originally built as the General Oglethorpe Hotel and Golf Club, and for a time the complex was owned by the Teamsters Union. It is now a luxurious condominium.More Related News
