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 concrete at the Giant's stadium (he was not officially declared dead until July 30, 1982). The truth is hard to come by because of his involvement in the mafia.
Some believe that Hoffa's friend Frank Sheeran shot Hoffa twice in the back of the head. Sheeran didn’t want to kill his friend but had no choice as refusal to follow mob orders was a death sentence. The body was brought to an incinerator.
Mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski claimed to have murdered Hoffa in his book The Iceman: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer. Kuklinski claimed to have stabbed Hoffa and burned the body in a 55 gallon drum. Another version has Hoffa crushed in a car with his body in the trunk and sold as scrap metal to Japan.
It is also alleged that Hoffa was ground up at a meat processing plant in Michigan and either disposed of at a fat-rendering plant or dumped in a Florida swamp.
Another claim was that Hoffa was buried in or under a horse barn in Milford Township in Michigan.
It is also rumored that Hoffa was buried in the concrete at the General Motors' headquarters, also known as the the Renaissance Center, in Detroit.
There was also a claim that Hoffa was buried under an above-ground pool in Hampton Township in Michigan.
According to history dot com, his disappearance is one of the 6 greatest mysterious disappearances of all time, including Amelia Earhart, D.B. Cooper, Joseph Force Crater, the Lost Colony on Roanoke Island and the mystery ship Mary Celeste.
