They never showed. He called his wife from a pay phone \u2014 and was never seen again. In this episode, we trace Hoffa's rise from Detroit warehouse worker to the most powerful labor leader in America, his feud with Robert Kennedy, his prison sentence and Nixon's commutation, and his doomed attempt to take back the Teamsters. Then we look at the evidence, the theories, and the fifty years of digging that have never turned up a body. \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f History Shorts is a daily history podcast hosted by historian and author of Eight Days in August, Peter Zablocki.
