• The Jimmy Hoffa Concrete

  Following Jimmy Hoffa’s July 1975 disappearance, one of the most durable American mob conspiracies claimed that his body was hidden inside concrete, steel, or industrial waste. The two best-known variants held that he was buried in the end zone foundations of Giants Stadium in New Jersey or destroyed in an industrial car compactor. The public record strongly supports that Hoffa disappeared on July 30, 1975 and was never found. It also supports that the Giants Stadium burial rumor became nationally famous and that “compactor” versions circulated through organized-crime informants and later retellings. The public record does not establish either disposal story as fact.
