Two sets of blood remnants were found in the front hall and middle hallway of the Detroit house where Sheeran claimed the murder happened.
[25] One stain at the bottom of the stairs was fresh enough to extract DNA from and was found not to be Hoffa's blood. A blood trail from the vestibule, where Sheeran says he shot Hoffa, down the middle hallway was consistent with Sheeran's confession but proved to be too old and degraded to extract DNA from. The trail leads to the kitchen where, in 1975, there had been a door leading to the outside, consistent with Sheeran's confession that the "cleaners" would have taken the body directly out of the back of the house so no one could see the removal from the street.[

The blood pattern added weight to the claim that someone had been killed at the home and the body had been dragged down the hallway as Sheeran had said. The house was located only minutes from the restaurant parking lot where Hoffa was last seen but no evidence yet exists that links Hoffa to the house. Out of the 28 spots of blood found in the home only 2 of the spots tested positive for
DNA. Considering where Sheeran confessed he killed Hoffa and that almost 30 years had elapsed by the time a forensics team entered the home, it is not likely traces of Hoffa's DNA would have been found.[

The FBI continues its attempts to connect Sheeran to the murder, retesting the blood and floorboards with latest advancements in forensics. In
Riddle, a documentary about the Hoffa disappearance that was broadcast on November 27, 2018 on FOX,
[26][27] the FBI replied "No comment" when asked about their latest tests.
