00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:09.320
When powerful people go missing, questions
get asked and stones get turned over,

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:16.199
and usually the culprit is found,
whether it's in Barbados or Belize or somewhere

3
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:20.320
like that, with no extradition treaty. But one of the most powerful men

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:26.359
of the forties, fifties, and
sixties went missing and no one seems to

5
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:35.840
know why. What you are about
to the spurs to bonial based on witness

6
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:53.920
accounts, testimonies, and public record, this is terrifying and truth. As

7
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.799
a child born in the late eighties
and growing up in the nineteen nineties in

8
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.400
the United States, one name has
always been synonymous with mystery and being a

9
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:10.560
missing person, and that is,
of course, Jimmy Hoffa. References to

10
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.719
him being buried underneath the Giants Stadium
in New York are in just about every

11
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:21.280
bit of popular culture. Referenced on
The Simpsons, referenced in comedy shows,

12
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.480
referenced in dramas. But just because
it's a piece of pop culture doesn't mean

13
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.840
there isn't a whole hell of a
lot more to the story. And that's

14
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:37.280
what we're going to find out tonight
as we dive deep into the disappearance of

15
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.599
Jimmy Hoffa. Can this case be
cracked or are the details as elusive as

16
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:59.079
the man himself. We'll find out
after these quick words. Tonight we'll be

17
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:05.359
looking into the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, one of the most high profile missing

18
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:12.719
persons cases in American history. Hoffa, a powerful labor leader and former president

19
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:19.560
of the Teamsters Union, vanished without
a trace in nineteen seventy five, and

20
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:25.719
his fate has remained a mystery ever
since. For those of you who are

21
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:32.719
not quite aware of who Jimmy Hoffa
was, let's start with some background information.

22
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.879
James Riddle Hoffa, also known as
Jimmy Hoffa, was born in Indiana

23
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:46.159
in nineteen thirteen. He grew up
in a working class family and dropped out

24
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:51.919
of school at a young age to
work in a warehouse. Haffa's charismatic personality

25
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:57.560
and natural leadership skills soon caught the
attention of the Teamsters Union, a powerful

26
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:04.879
organization that represented truck drivers and other
blue collar workers. Being an intelligent gentleman,

27
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.240
Hoffa quickly rose through the ranks of
the union and became its president in

28
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:16.039
nineteen fifty seven. Under his leadership, the Teamsters grew in size and influence,

29
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:22.719
and Hoffa became one of the most
powerful figures in American labor history.

30
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:28.000
He was also known for his tough
negotiating skills and his ability to mobilize workers

31
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.719
to strike and protest against unfair working
conditions. At that time, Hoffa was

32
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:40.879
one of the most powerful people in
America. One phone call, one snap

33
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.120
of his fingers, one nod of
his head, and he could literally stop

34
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:53.599
all transportation of goods across the country. He could prevent your milk from being

35
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.080
in the refrigerator and your bread from
being on your family's table. Yes,

36
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:05.919
he truly was that powerful. Haffa
made his name organizing local strikes in a

37
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:13.159
time where labor unions were suppressed by
many companies, and sometimes the employers would

38
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:18.759
actually send people to beat up and
harm those who participated in such activities.

39
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.879
Many would say that Jimmy was the
kind of man who liked to fight fire

40
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:31.800
with fire. So far, everything's
going great, but not for long.

41
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:40.199
Haffa's tenure was also marked by controversy
and corruption. He was known for his

42
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:46.279
tized organized crime and was frequently accused
of using his position to enrich himself and

43
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.360
his associates. He was convicted of
several crimes, including bribery, fraud,

44
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:59.160
and jury tampering, and spent several
years in prison. Since we've spent so

45
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.480
much time talking about the positive side
of Jimmy Hoffa, I think now we

46
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:11.199
should at least get a quick glance
at his criminal history. First on our

47
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:16.319
little list is attempted bribery. In
nineteen sixty two, Haffa was charged with

48
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:24.000
attempting to bribe a grand juror who
was investigating allegations of corruption within the international

49
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:30.120
Brotherhood of Teamsters. Haffa had offered
the juror, Thomas McHale, one thousand

50
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.399
dollars per month in exchange for information
on the investigation and for him to vote

51
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:41.240
for Haffa at a Teamster's convention.
McHale, however, got together with the

52
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:46.639
FBI's investigation, and several conversations between
Haffa and McHale in which Haffa offered the

53
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:54.519
bribe were recorded. Consequently, he
was convicted of attempted bribery and sentenced to

54
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.519
eight years in prison. He appealed
the conviction all the way to the Supreme

55
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:04.079
Court, which upheld the conviction in
nineteen sixty seven. In addition to the

56
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:10.680
attempted bribery charge. Haffhah was also
accused of trying to bribe several other officials

57
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.120
over the course of his career,
and it was said that he offered money

58
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.040
to government officials, union officials,
and even members of organized crime in exchange

59
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:28.319
for various favors. The second in
our little felonious list is fraud and conspiracy.

60
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.920
In nineteen sixty four, Haffhah was
convicted of fraud and conspiracy in connection

61
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:39.759
with the misuse of union pension funds. He was sentenced to thirteen years in

62
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:46.600
prison. The third in our little
crime flavored list is obstruction of justice.

63
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:53.120
In nineteen sixty seven, haffha was
convicted of obstruction of justice for attempting to

64
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.600
bribe a jury member in a case
against him. He was sentenced to five

65
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:05.079
years in prison. And the fourth
in our laundry list of legal transgressions is

66
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:11.720
mail fraud. In nineteen seventy one, Haffa was convicted of mail fraud and

67
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:16.279
sentenced to thirteen years in prison for
using the US Postal Service to facilitate a

68
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:21.839
scheme to defraud the union's pension fund. I feel like a pattern isn't hard

69
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:30.800
to find here fast forward a few
years, and let's come to July of

70
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.680
nineteen seventy five. On July thirtieth, nineteen seventy five, Jimmy Hoffa,

71
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:43.000
the former president of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, disappeared from a parking lot

72
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.600
in Bloomfield Township, Michigan. Haffa
had been scheduled to meet with two individuals,

73
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:56.759
Anthony Provenzano and Anthony Giacolone, at
the Marcus Red Fox restaurant, but

74
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.959
what really happened to Haffa on that
day has remained a mystery for decades.

75
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.519
According to some witnesses, Haffa drove
to the restaurant in his green nineteen seventy

76
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:15.519
five Pontiac Granville, which was later
found abandoned in the parking lot. He

77
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.720
had reportedly been waiting for Provenzano and
Giacolone to arrive, but they never showed

78
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.800
up. A witness reported seeing a
maroon or burgundy colored car parked next to

79
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.240
Haffa's with two or three men standing
nearby. After a few minutes, Haffa

80
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:39.879
got into the car and it drove
away. However, we can't be certain

81
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:46.879
that these accounts are completely or even
partially valid. Despite an extensive investigation,

82
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.639
no trace of Haffa was ever found, and his disappearance remains one of the

83
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:58.879
most enduring mysteries in American history.
Theories about what happened to Haffa abound,

84
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:05.360
with many speculating that he was murdered
and buried in an unknown location. Believe

85
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.399
it or not, there are nine
widely popular beliefs that some believe explains why

86
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:20.279
mister Hoffa disappeared. The first is
Haffa's ties to organized crime. Like we

87
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.519
mentioned earlier, this could be a
very believable reason. Haffa had a long

88
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:31.519
standing association with organized crime figures,
particularly those in the Italian American mafia.

89
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.720
It is possible that his disappearance was
the result of a dispute or falling out

90
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.279
with these individuals, or that they
saw him as a liability due to his

91
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:50.279
increasing legal troubles and their desire to
distance themselves from him. Number two political

92
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.519
motives. Haffa was a powerful and
influential figure in the labor movement, and

93
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:01.759
his outspoken advocacy for workers' rights may
have made him a target of political opponents.

94
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.919
It is possible that his disappearance was
orchestrated by those who saw him as

95
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:13.879
a threat to their political power or
influence. Number three a personal vendetta.

96
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.200
Haffa had a reputation for being ruthless
and vindictive, particularly towards those he saw

97
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.480
as enemies or rivals. It is
possible that his disappearance was the result of

98
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.879
a personal vendetta against him, either
from someone he had crossed in the past

99
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:39.720
or someone with a long standing grudge
against him. Number four a union power

100
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.799
struggle. The Teamsters Union, which
Haffa led, was a powerful and influential

101
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:50.200
organization, and there were likely many
individuals vying for power and influence within it.

102
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:56.440
It's possible that Haffa's disappearance was the
result of a power struggle within the

103
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.399
union itself, either between him and
a rival faction, or or between different

104
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:07.960
factions within the union. Number five
is business interests. Haffa had many connections

105
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:13.559
to the business world, particularly through
his involvement in the trucking industry. It

106
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.000
is possible that his disappearance was related
to his business dealings, or that he

107
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:24.120
had knowledge of illegal or unethical practices
within the industry and that put him at

108
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:31.399
risk. Number six is probably the
most popular government conspiracy. There have been

109
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:37.159
many conspiracy theories surrounding Haffa's disappearance,
with some suggesting that it was the result

110
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.559
of a government plot or a cover
up. While there is little concrete evidence

111
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.279
to support these theories, it is
possible that Haffa's disappearance was related to his

112
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.919
political activities, or that he was
seen as a threat to the government in

113
00:11:52.960 --> 00:12:01.159
some way. Number seven revenge from
former associates. Had many close associates over

114
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.519
the course of his career, some
of whom may have felt betrayed or wronged

115
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.840
by him. It is possible that
his disappearance was the result of revenge from

116
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:16.159
someone he had crossed paths with,
maybe even someone very close to him.

117
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.159
Number eight is mistaken identity. While
the chances for this one are fairly low,

118
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.159
it is possible that Haffa's disappearance was
the result of a case of mistaken

119
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:35.879
identity, with someone intending to target
someone else but mistaking Haffa for their intended

120
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:43.039
target. This one would be damn
near impossible to solve in the aftermath,

121
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:50.639
unless, of course, the perpetrators
were to come forward and Number nine kidnapping

122
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:56.159
for ransom. It could be possible
that Haffa's disappearance was related to a kidnapping

123
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.840
for ransom scheme with someone hope to
extort money from him or the Teamsters Union

124
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:09.000
in exchange for his safe return.
He was as loved as he was hated,

125
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.919
so it wouldn't be the most far
fetched idea. Jimmy Hoffa's daughter,

126
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:20.720
Barbara Ann, interviewed in Detroit on
November eighth, nineteen seventy five, in

127
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.320
Detroit from the Associated Press. Of
course, we have to hope. That

128
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.360
you have to have hope to keep
you going, as I see it in

129
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:35.559
my mind, if you'd like me
to say, truly, I don't think

130
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:41.720
that it is a ransom. I
think that the worst has happened, because

131
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:50.759
if we're a ransom and the ransom
were paid and Dad were returned, the

132
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.600
person that got the ransom would know
that we would find him and that Dad

133
00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:01.960
would never rest. So I'm feared. I fear the worst if it turns

134
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.759
out, in fact that your father
is no longer alive and that his death

135
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.200
was caused by rivalries within the Teamsters
Union. What do you think this will

136
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.320
mean in the future. Do you
think there will be more violence within the

137
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.159
Teamsters? Well, I would say
if that sort of a thing could be

138
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.320
proven, it would rip the Teamsters
Union absolutely apart. I am confident that

139
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.799
whoever abducted him was a person that
he knew, and if he knew them,

140
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.879
then we know them, and we'll
find out someone knows them, and

141
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:43.159
we'll find them. Given his popularity
and massive reputation, multiple organizations have tried

142
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:50.399
to find out exactly what happened and
help the world make sense of this haunting

143
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.320
disappearance. One of those organizations at
the forefront of the investigation Dhofa's disappearance has

144
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:03.080
been the Federal Bureau of Investigation or
f the premier law enforcement agency in the

145
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.559
United States. The FBI's involvement in
the case of Jimmy Hoffa began almost immediately

146
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.159
after his disappearance. In the weeks
and months following Haffa's disappearance, the FBI

147
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:20.840
launched an extensive investigation into his whereabouts, interviewing hundreds of witnesses, tracking down

148
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.120
leads, and analyzing evidence. The
FBI quickly focused on organized crime as a

149
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.960
possible culprit in the disappearance. Given
Haffa's close ties to the mafia and his

150
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:39.559
controversial leadership of the powerful Teamsters Union. The FBI was also aware of Haffa's

151
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.320
prior legal troubles, including his conviction
for jury tampering and fraud in nineteen sixty

152
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.960
four. One of the key players
in the FBI's investigation into Haffah's disappearance was

153
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.399
Special Agent Robert Garrity, who was
assigned to the case in the immediate aftermath

154
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:03.120
of Haffah's disappearance. Garrity worked tirelessly
to follow up on leads and gather evidence,

155
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.879
interviewing potential witnesses and suspects, and
coordinating with local law enforcement agencies.

156
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:15.159
However, despite Garrity's efforts and those
of his colleagues, no solid leads emerged

157
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:22.159
in the case, and Haffa's whereabouts
remained a mystery. The FBI also investigated

158
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.559
the possibility that Haffa's disappearance was related
to a power struggle within the Teamsters union,

159
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:32.840
or that it was tied to Haffa's
desire to reclaim the union leadership position

160
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:38.159
he had lost following his release from
prison. In the decades since Haffa's disappearance,

161
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:44.759
the FBI has continued to investigate the
case and pursue new leads. In

162
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:49.320
two thousand and four, the agency
conducted an extensive search of a farm in

163
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:56.080
Michigan following a tip that Haffa's remains
might be buried there. However, no

164
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.799
evidence was found to support this theory, and the case remained unsolved. In

165
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:07.160
recent years, the FBI has continued
to investigate the case using new forensic techniques

166
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:12.559
and technology, but as of this
recording, no major breakthroughs have emerged.

167
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.599
Apart from the work of the FBI, others have taken interest in understanding the

168
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:23.799
cause of his disappearance as well.
The Michigan State Police have been involved in

169
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:30.119
investigating Haffa's disappearance since the beginning and
have conducted numerous searches for his body over

170
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:37.480
the years and have interviewed countless witnesses
and suspects. In two thousand and thirteen,

171
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.559
they conducted a major search of a
property in Oakland Township, Michigan,

172
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:48.079
but did not find any evidence related
to Haffa's disappearance. Many people still believe

173
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.519
that the mafia was involved, and
as a result, law enforcement agencies have

174
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:57.559
tried to work with informants and members
of the mafia to try to gather information

175
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:03.359
about what happened. However, many
of these efforts have been hampered by the

176
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.119
reluctance of members of organized crime to
talk to law enforcement. But even now,

177
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:15.160
the search still continues for the legendary
missing man, including this news story

178
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:21.839
from CBS New York from November of
two thousand and twenty one. The decades

179
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:26.720
long search for the remains of former
Teamster's boss Jimmy Hoffa turns once again to

180
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:32.640
a former New Jersey landfill and FBI
spokespersons as agents conducted a site survey underneath

181
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.039
the Pulaski Skyway last month. The
latest effort appears to be tied to a

182
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.079
deathbed statement by a man who claimed
his father buried Haffa's body in a steel

183
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.799
drum. It's the same area that
was searched back in the nineteen seventies.

184
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.440
Offa was still it was last seen
rather in July of nineteen seventy five,

185
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:55.440
when he was to meet with a
reputed mob enforcer and an alleged New Jersey

186
00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:00.359
mob figure at a restaurant in suburban
Detroit. History just deepened stare it does

187
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.640
when it comes to Jimmy Hoffa.
I try to be skeptical. I try

188
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:14.480
not to fall into all of the
ephemera for lack of a better term.

189
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:18.960
All of the theories and all of
the stories, and the fact that it's

190
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.799
become a part of pop culture.
I remember hearing jokes about Jimmy Hoffa on

191
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:30.519
Home Improvement and The Drew Carey Show
and Seinfeld, all of these mainstream television

192
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:36.640
programs that I'm watching as a child. It made me wonder, who is

193
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.720
Jimmy Hoffa and what happened to him? And why can't people find it.

194
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.720
I think the most obvious joke I
hear all the time is that he's buried

195
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.680
underneath Giants Stadium. But I don't
know. All I do know is that

196
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:56.039
people in general are very bad at
keeping secrets, and that makes me wonder

197
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:03.599
if maybe this was something much simpler
then we all assume. Maybe it was

198
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.440
a case of mistaken identity. Maybe
he was murdered by somebody who didn't even

199
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.319
know him, and his body was
dumped somewhere we would never find because there's

200
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:18.160
simply no connection. Or maybe it's
like a YouTube comment I saw when I

201
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.000
was pulling that news clip. Someone
said that his body was put in the

202
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.759
back of a Toyota, crushed down
to the size of a cube, and

203
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.119
then shifted to Japan. But of
course, that commenter then follows it up

204
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.119
with don't ask me how I know
this. At the end of the day,

205
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:38.160
this probably never will be solved,
but at least it'll be a source

206
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:45.480
for fun, albeit very morbid,
terrifying and true. Is narrated by Enrique
