Fox Nation's Riddle reveals Jimmy Hoffa's lake house: Inside the quiet hideaway tied to his final day
Inside Jimmy Hoffa's lake house
According to Fox News, tucked away along the shoreline sits a modest wood-frame house where Hoffa was not the Teamsters boss or a national figure-he was just Dad. The lake house, built as a family getaway, was where Hoffa mowed the lawn on his orange Simplicity tractor and watched TV on a big wood-paneled console. He would fix things himself, haul brush, lay cement, and sit by the water with his wife, Josephine, and kids.
On July 30, 1975, Hoffa left this house for what became his final known day, and he never came back. Though the Hoffa family sold the property in 1986, much of it still looks like 1975 froze in place. His furniture remains. The books on the shelf have not changed.
Even the concrete steps up from the lake still bear 'JO' etched in by Josephine. And the stone seawall, built by Hoffa and his son, has not budged. 'We did it together. My hands were raw. His hands were raw. But we got it done,' James said.
Updates on Jimmy Hoffa's lake house
Now, the house is in the hands of Susan and John Hagen. They plan to restore it, not flip it. 'We knew it was Hoffa's. We were the only ones who didn't want to tear it down,' said John, as per Fox News.

The couple launched a Facebook page, Hoffa House Renovations, to share updates. So far, they have restored the handmade totem pole and uncovered long-hidden patios. Hoffa's picnic tables are still standing. As per the media outlet, John, a 40-year-old carpenter, plans to fix the sunken foundation and rebuild the carriage house from scratch if needed. 'The outside will look like 1975. Inside will be 2025,' he said.

‘Stunned and shocked': Hawaii police hunt suspect in acid attack that left man critically injured; probe underway
. Hawaiian authorities are searching for a suspect who allegedly threw acid at a man's face in Honolulu on Friday night, leaving him in critical condition, reported Fox News. Honolulu police said officers responded to an assault report shortly after 10.00 pm in the city's Chinatown district. Witnesses reported that a 30-year-old man was crossing the street when an unidentified suspect 'threw an unidentified liquid in his face, causing several burns,' as per the Honolulu police department, reports Khon 2. Emergency responders took the victim to a hospital, where he remains in critical condition, as per an HPD official, reported Fox News. The liquid was later identified as sulphuric acid by the Honolulu Fire Department, a highly corrosive chemical capable of causing serious burns to skin, eyes, and internal tissues. Officials described the suspect as a man about six feet tall, wearing a blue fitted shirt and a dew rag, with a camera around his neck and carrying a red bottle. "The preliminary investigation indicates that the victim did not know the suspect," said an HPD spokesperson, reported Fox News. "Right now, detectives are canvassing the scene to recover any surveillance video and locate any additional witnesses." HPD classified the incident as first-degree assault, a serious felony under Hawaii law. Detectives are yet to identify a motive, and it remains unclear whether the crime can be classified as a hate crime. 'I'm actually stunned and shocked at this point, and the reason I'm stunned and shocked is because police have actually been doing a good job at patrolling the place now,' said Ernest Carvalho, a Chinatown neighbourhood board member, reported Hawaii News Now. Two years ago, a man in Mililani threw acid at a 20-year-old woman, leaving her in a critical condition. Months after that, a similar incident occurred when a 25-year-old Chinese exchange teacher was also attacked with acid.

‘Disturbing': Florida woman arrested for impersonating a nurse; treated over 4,000 patients
. A Palm Coast woman has been arrested in Florida for allegedly impersonating a nurse and treating thousands of patients without proper credentials, reports Fox News. The suspect, identified as Autumn Bardisa, 29, was taken into custody at her home while wearing medical scrubs, as per the Flagler County Sheriff's office. Authorities say she posed as a licensed nurse and provided medical care to over 4,400 individuals between June 2024 and January 2025. Officials noted that she did not possess a valid nursing license during this period. 'This is one of the most disturbing cases of medical fraud we've ever investigated,' said sheriff Rick Staly, reported the Miami Herald. The arrest followed a seven-month-long investigation by state and federal health agencies. Bardisa allegedly used someone else's nursing license number and submitted falsified documents to obtain a position as an advanced nurse technician, falsely claiming that she was a registered nurse, reported hospital officials. Bardisa began working at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway in July 2023, but her contract was terminated in January 2025 following internal concerns raised by hospital staff. Bardisa initially applied for the position under the title of 'education first' registered nurse, a category for candidates who have completed nursing school but not yet passed the national licensing exam, officials stated, reported Fox News. She later allegedly claimed to have passed the exam and submitted a license number belonging to a nurse with the same first name but a different last name. The investigation, led in coordination by the Florida department of health and the US department of health and human services, involved interviews with the hospital personnel and the licensed nurse whose credentials Bardisa was reportedly using. Authorities noted that while both women attended the same nursing school, they did not know each other personally. She used to claim that she recently got married and changed her last name to justify the discrepancies regarding her identity. However, she never provided a marriage certificate when asked. She was reportedly offered a promotion in January 2025, triggering suspicion among coworkers. One of them checked her credentials and discovered she only held an expired certified nursing assistant (CNA) license. The findings were then reported to hospital administrators, reported Fox News. Further investigation found that Bardisa never submitted proper documentation to verify her identity. In response, AdventHealth terminated her contract and notified the sheriff's office, leading to a broader criminal investigation. She has now been charged with seven felony counts of practicing medicine without a license and seven counts of identity fraud. She is currently being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on a $70,000 bond. "Thanks to great investigative work between our detectives and State Attorney, Florida's 7th Circuit R.J. Larizza's Office and AdventHealth, along with our state and federal partners, she'll now be held accountable for her reckless and dangerous actions," said Staly, reported Fox News.

Maduro was recently sworn in for a third term, despite widespread international criticism and concerns over alleged election irregularities, reports AFP.
