FBI’s new plea to public aims to break Jimmy Hoffa case wide open
Where in the world is Jimmy Hoffa?
More than 50 years after the mobbed-up Teamster boss disappeared, the FBI is still trying to figure it out — and is asking for tips to solve one of the country’s most notorious and puzzling cases.
Calling it “one of the most well-known missing person investigations in FBI history,” the federal agency’s Detroit field office said in a press release Thursday it “remains committed to following all credible leads” to “assist in moving this case forward.”
“As the 50th anniversary of Mr. Hoffa’s disappearance approaches, the FBI Detroit Field office remains steadfast in its commitment to pursuing all credible leads,” Cheyvoryea Gibson, the special agent in charge of the office, said in a statement.
Hoffa, 62, was trying to regain the leadership of the union when he left his cottage on July 30, 1975, for a meeting at the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
He was never heard from again.
Hoffa’s disappearance has since been the subject of folklore, most recently in the hit flick “The Irishman,” in which actor Robert DeNiro portrayed mob hitman Frank Sheeran, who fires the fatal shots.
But his body has never been found, with the hard-nosed union boss presumably buried anywhere from the Florida Everglades to the endzone of the former New Jersey Meadowlands stadium.
The FBI is still trying to get to the bottom of it.
Determined not to give up on the case, the FBI is urging anyone with any tips to reach out to the feds at 1-800-CALL-FBI or online at tips.fbi.gov.
