The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa disappeared while in Bloomfield Township on July 30, 1975. He was last seen that afternoon in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant. Six years later, to the day, Carlo Licata, the son of the acting boss of the Detroit Partnership crime syndicate, Jack Tocco, died under suspicious circumstances at a house off Long Lake Drive in Bloomfield Township. Hoffa had visited the house multiple times to visit Detroit Partnership members Anthony and Vito Giacalone.
