Overview

  • On July 30, James P. Hoffa renewed his demand that President Trump declassify all redacted FBI documents in his father’s unsolved disappearance.
  • The bureau has released tens of thousands of pages, including the 1976 HOFFEX memo, but most records remain heavily redacted.
  • Multiple FBI-led searches in Michigan fields and a 2021 landfill dig in New Jersey failed to uncover Hoffa’s remains.
  • No arrests have been made, though investigators have long eyed Detroit Mafia figures Vito “Billy Jack” Giacalone and Anthony “Tony Pal” Palazzolo.
  • Hoffa’s vanishing continues to fuel books, films and series such as The Irishman and Fox Nation’s Riddle, reflecting enduring public fascination.
