Now, THERE’S a headline!
What started as a serious crime investigation over the disappearance of a former Teamsters boss has, over the years, degenerated into the punch line for jokes and endless speculation over what really happened 34 years ago yesterday.
It had the makings of a mob hit from the start-Hoffa meeting at a Detroit area restaurant with a couple of shady characters-and then—he vanishes. The search soon turned into one for a BODY rather than a missing person. Where is he? What happened to him and where was the body disposed of? Speculation has ranged from somewhere in the concrete at the Meadowlands in New Jersey to an auto junkyard where his body was supposedly placed in a 55 gallon drum, then into a car which was crushed and melted down.
Check out this 2-part “In Search Of…” special on the Hoffa disappearance. Hosted by a very “un-Spock-looking” Leonard Nimoy, it is an interesting glimpse into the life-and death of one of the country’s most powerful-and mysterious characters:
