Was Jimmy Hoffa killed by the mob with the help of Nixon?

James Riddle Hoffa

He was former Teamster's president.
1941 Hoffa and the teamsters were in a turf battle with rivals in Detroit.
This is when Hoffa got involved with the mob.
He hired the mob to get rid of the rivals.
After this the mob basically owned Hoffa.
The mob took loans out of the teamster's pension fund.
They funneled this funds into the financing into Las Vegas casinos.
Hoffa and the teamster's got a benificail return on the loans.
The union workers loved him.
The relationship with the mob was great until he went to prison.
He went to prison for 13 years, for bribery, jury tampering and mail fraud in 1967.
Richard Nixon pardoned him , in 1971, if he didn't have any involvement with the teamsters until 1980.
Federal investigators, four years later, found that the teamster's largest pension fund had been robbed of 100's of millions of dollars.
Hoffa then disappeared.
Some people say he ratted out the mob.

July 30, 1975 he was seen outside the Machus Red Fox resturant.
He was going to meet Anthony "Tony Jack" Giacalone and  Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano, at 2 pm.
Both were members of the Mafia and Tony Pro was also a member of the teamsters.
Neither showed up to the meeting.
When questioned by the FBI they stated that there was no meeting organized.
They both seemingly had allibies.

Hoffa then called his wife around 2:30 pm from a nearby payphone.
There were five witnesses that said they saw Hoffa in the parking lot of the restaurant.
They said he looked like he was waiting for someone.
Other witnesses said that a burgundy Mercury Marquis, with three men inside, picked up Hoffa.
The following morning on July 31, 1975, Hoffa's car was found in the restaurant's parking lot.
DNA evidence, hair sample, found in the Marqui proved that Hoffa probably did get picked up like the witnesses claimed.
Witnesses claimed that the driver of the vehicle looked like Charles "Chuckie" O'Brien.
He was a protege and like a son to Hoffa.
Hoffa's daughter, Barbra, said that "was driving the car my father disappeared in the vicinity of the Red Fox."
The car was recently  cleaned.
German Shepherds found Hoffa's scent in the backseat and the trunk.
When Hoffa's son, James, asked O'Brien if he was involved in the disappearance of Hoffa, O'Brien fled the room.
Hoffa's body was never found.

The Hofex MEMO, written in January 1976, by Federal investigators, says that the authorities suspected the Mafia in his death.
Hoffa wanted back in the teamster game and wanted the mob out of the teamster's affairs.
In 1974, Hoffa said that Provenzano threatened his family.
He told Hoffa that if he tried to become head of the teamsters again, Provenzano would kidnap his family or pull Hoffa's guts out.

Richard Kuklinski "the Iceman" was a hit man and serial killer.
He claimed to have been paid $40,000 by the mob to kill Hoffa by Russell Bufileno.
He said that him and some other members of the mob drove to the diner and picked Hoffa up.
They then knocked him out, stabbed him in the head with a hunting knife and transported his body in the trunk of a car to  New Jersey.
Then the car was crushed and used as scrap metal.

The Mob killer Frank "the Irishman" Sheerdan, said that after they picked up Hoffa at the restaurant they drove him to an empty home and shot Hoffa in the back of the head as he walked inside.
Sheerdan left and the body was taken to a funeral home controlled by the mob and cremated.
Sheerdan felt guilty for betraying Hoffa and tried to send him subtle warnings.
If Sheerdan didn't kill Hoffa he would have been killed himself.
Sheerdan named the place that Hoffa was killed.
No blood evidence was found.
He said Ruffle co ordered the hit.

Frank Fitzimmons, Hoffa's successor, worked with president Nixon to pardon Hoffa and get him out of prison.
Also that Frank played a role in the ban of Hoffa with the teamsters.
Members of the Provenzano mob sent a group to Vegas to deliver $500,000 to Charles Colson, who was special council to Nixon.
After than more money was sent to Nixon for the restriction places on Hoffa.
This was around the time of the Watergate scandal.
Some say that Hoffa knew all of this and was preparing to go public with his info on the mob and Nixon.
In 1975, Time magazine published an article that linked Bufalino to the CIA in Cuba.
Supposedly Hoffa and mobsters, Sam "Momo" Giancana and John Roselli, were going to meet with the Church Committee.
The Committee was looking into the CIA and the Mob in Cuba.
Besides Hoffa, John and Sam were also killed.
The case is till opened but is inactive.
