Hoffa famously disappeared July 30, 1975. And questions of his whereabouts have swirled ever since. See the second video below for more on how that happened.

And here is a strangely upbeat video from the History Channel explaining the circumstances surrounding Hoffa's disappearance on July 30, 1975.
