This day in history: Teamster's Union leader Jimmy Hoffa disappeared from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan on this day in 1975. He was never seen or heard from again. There are many theories as to what happened to him, and the most popular is that he was buried in Giant's stadium (he was not officially declared dead until July 30, 1982).

According to history dot com, his disappearance is one of the 6 greatest mysterious disappearances of all time, including Amelia Earhart, D.B.
