The Case Breakers, a nonprofit group of cold case investigators, said the body of Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, which has been missing for decades, may be buried at a demolished MLB stadium.

An ace of spades playing card with "scribbled handwriting" from a dying ex-sergeant led the group to the old site of Milwaukee County Stadium in Wisconsin, the New York Post reported.

The location is next to the current Milwaukee Brewers stadium, American Family Field. The group believes Hoffa is buried under where the demolished stadium’s third-base line was located.

Hoffa was the larger-than-life labor union leader, who went missing in 1975 when he was allegedly on his way to a meeting with mob boss Anthony “Tony Jack” Giacalone and New Jersey Teamsters local union boss “Tony Pro” Provenzano.

Hoffa was legally declared dead in 1982. Just what happened to him and the whereabouts of his body have become legends and folklore.

Jim Zimmerman, a member of the Case Breakers for 13 years and a former police officer, found the card. The ex-sergeant who wrote it was allegedly involved in Hoffa's kidnapping.

“Independent sources in three states convinced the volunteer investigators that CSI forensics will reveal Hoffa’s remains at a little league field, in the shadow of Milwaukee’s MLB stadium,” the group said in a press release.

The alleged burial site is near a Little League stadium, Helfaer Field, which was built in 2002.

The group studied old aerial photographs and GPS satellite images. Members also visited the location and deployed “ground-penetrating radar over the remote location three times.”

The equipment could not detect below five feet because of an “unexpected clay layer” blocking the radar. The group said it proves that a dig happened at the location and it was “hurriedly excavated and backfilled.”

Case Breakers founder Thomas J. Colbert told Fox News Digital that the team brought a “top” cadaver dog expert to the site, retired cop Carren Corcoran, and her dog gave a positive signal multiple times.

This gal has, I believe the figure is over 200 cases of finding either the dead or the missing,” Colbert said. “She’s phenomenal, and she brought in her dog and where does the dog go? Right to the ground penetration radar spot three years earlier, and that’s where we got excited.”

The group is working with local authorities and the FBI to dig at the site, according to the Post.
