Hoffa was the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters from 1957 to 1971, and he was known for his ties to organized crime. In 1975, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and his body has never been found.

We'll discuss the possible murder suspects in Hoffa's case, including mobsters, union rivals, and even the FBI. We'll also explore the historical context of Hoffa's disappearance, and we'll consider the possibility that he may still be alive.
