Nevada, Lake, Corpse, Coroner, Las Vegas, Investigation

Lake Mead is about 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. Artificial reservoirs supply water and electricity to Nevada, Arizona, California, and Mexico. In late 2021, the three states and the US federal government agreed on a $ 200 million deal to respond to the water scarcity crisis.

Las Vegas police in Nevada believe that the bodies found in the barrels of Lake Mead date back to the mid-1970s and early 1980s. Seems to be suffering Gunshot wound.

On Sunday, a boater enjoying the sun on Lake Mead called the authorities after finding a human body in what looked like a 50-gallon barrel. The discovery was possible only due to the plunge in the water level of Lake Mead caused by the ongoing drought. This lake, along with Lake Powell upstream, constitutes the largest man-made reservoir in the United States.

The Clark County Coroner’s Office is still trying to identify the corpse. The process they say may take months if possible. Internet commentators soon made a logical leap to Jimmy Hoffa, the former Team Stars boss who disappeared in 1975, but when police first said that death could have happened in the 1980s. The speculation was quickly shattered.

Police determined that the shoes worn by men were manufactured in the mid-to-late 1970s, and then returned the timeline to the mid-1970s, technically enabling connections with Hofa.

Still, it has little to do with Hofa’s disappearance. There are more than 17,000 unsolved missing person cases in the United States, not including the hundreds of thousands of cases in which it is estimated that the missing person died, as was the case with Hofa.

In addition, Lake Mead is a 30-hour drive from Bloomfield Township, Michigan. This is Hofa’s final whereabouts. It is expected that Hofa’s link will not be completely resolved, at least until the coroner’s office determines the identity of the man, or at least confirms that it is not Hofa.

Lake Mead has decreased from 1,080 feet to 1,055 feet in just one year. The lake supplies water to more than 40 million people in Nevada, Arizona, California and Mexico, so its rapid decline, not to mention its agricultural use, is of concern to authorities.

Police said Fox5 Las Vegas could find more bodies in the future if the decline continued.
