DETROIT, Mich. (WTVR) - Michigan Police are reopening the case of the legendary disappearance of labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa.

A tip from a dying man could be the missing clue in the mystery of what happened to the Teamsters leader, who vanished 37 years ago. 

Investigators are searching the ground beneath a suburban Detroit driveway after a man told authorities he saw a body being put into the ground around the same time Hoffa disappeared. The man is said to be dying of cancer and was not identified by police. 

Officials say a radar test confirm something is buried beneath a cement slab at the residence.

Police plan to dig at the home on Friday.
