Summary
In today's episode, we're traveling back to the summer of 1975, when former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa walked into the parking lot of a suburban Detroit restaurant to attend a meeting — and was NEVER seen again. At the time, he was still a powerful and determined force within the labor movement. Over half a century later, his baffling disappearance remains one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries in American history.
