Last Wednesday was July 30, 2025. It marked 50 years since the anniversary of the disappearance of Teamsters Union president Jimmy Hoffa.
Born February 14, 1913, in Brazil. Indiana, Hoffa served as General President from 1957 to 1971.
Hoffa was a labor union president who had ties to the mob.
He disappeared Wednesday, July 30, 1975, at the age 62, apparently outside then-Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Township in Oakland County, Michigan. (General area in Detroit.)
Hoffa was declared Dead in Absentia seven years later, on the same calendar date, in 1982.
Below is a video, from 2019, by WDIV (“Click on Detroit), the NBC-affiliated station in Detroit, Michigan. It is titled, “Jimmy Hoffa: A closer look at the labor leaders’s life, work and disappearance.” Comments to this video are turned off. But, it has more than 6 million views. Duration is 48 minutes.
More videos follow. They come Detroit, Michigan stations WDIV and WJBK (Ch. 02, Fox). They actually were timed just days before this blog topic was published. (WDIV’s video was published July 30, 2025.) So, while I thought of publishing this topic before the anniversary date…it turned out to be even better that I waited.
