The story behind the story.
In the first 2022 episode of the Hollywood Godfather Podcast, the hosts review nine law-enforcement-investigated theories about what happened to union leader Jimmy Hoffa after his July 1975 disappearance, including claims he was killed on Tony Pro’s orders, buried under Giants Stadium, dumped from a plane into the Great Lakes, or hidden at various Michigan and New Jersey sites; they note most were unsupported, while a current theory involves a New Jersey landfill where the FBI has conducted a site survey and is analyzing data. Gianni Russo adds a separate account that Hoffa’s car was taken to a Staten Island scrapyard, crushed into a cube, and later used as a coffee table. After a sponsor message, the show shifts to a listener mailbag covering New Year resolutions, family priorities after a loss, Jayne Mansfield, Christmas music and movies, personal confidants, and holiday traditions.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
