On a summer afternoon in 1975, Jimmy Hoffa stood outside a suburban Detroit diner, and vanished. One of the most powerful union leaders in American history, Hoffa's disappearance sparked decades of conspiracy theories, mob rumours, and FBI investigations. What really happened to the man who once ruled the Teamsters with iron resolve? This episode explores the tangled web of ambition, organised crime, and betrayal that led to one of the most enduring disappearances in modern history.
