. Where’s Hoffa’s body? Perhaps the longest-running mystery in modern times is the death and location of union boss Jimmy Hoffa. The American Labor Union leader disappeared in 1975 after arranging to meet two Mafia bosses in Detroit. Seems a pretty clear-cut story right? The Mafia making someone ‘disappear’? That’s right, but the mystery here isn’t who, but where and how Hoffa was killed. Upon investigation, the FBI determined that the two Mafia bosses weren’t even in Detroit at the time of the disappearance. The last person to see Hoffa was a truck driver who was nearly hit by a car pulling out of a restaurant parking lot. Hoffa was allegedly sitting in the back-seat of the car next to a shotgun. Theories abound as to the final resting place of the union boss including him being buried under a pool in Michigan, in concrete used to build the NY Mets’ stadium, and underneath the Giants’ Mettlands stadium. Sadly, the latter location was recently torn down and paved over with 12 feet of concrete, so it looks like we’ll never really know.
