Over 600,000 people go missing in the U.S. yearly, and most of them are never located. Similarly, thousands of unidentified bodies are unearthed annually, with no one knowing what became of them. While some of these disappearances are solved, some remain an everlasting puzzle. These are the ten most mysterious disappearances ever!
10. Jimmy Hoffa
Jimmy Hoffa, a notorious labor leader, disappeared in 1975. His absence sparked off one of the FBI's most protracted ongoing cases in Detroit. Because of the peculiarity of the case, the public was interested in the story, and its storyline influenced many Hollywood films even after decades of disappearance. Hoffa, the ex-convict, was famous for leading the Teamsters union. The union was an umbrella body for warehouse employees, freight drivers, and other U.S. workers.
In 1971, Hoffa's 13-year prison sentence was changed to a federal penitentiary in Pennsylvania, where he served his time for fraud. He was only free for four years before he vanished from a Michigan restaurant after a meeting with Mafia leaders. Many people believed that this union boss was murdered because his position allowed him to have numerous enemies. Although he was officially declared dead in 1982, his body remained hidden to this day. Researchers are not giving up on the prospects of finding his body.

Eight years later, investigators couldn't locate her stull, and all the tips have led to a dead end.
Among the many obstructions, the investigators faced was the lack of cooperation from the police department. The young men who spent time with her on the night she vanished didn't want to help the case. The team tried to make headway despite the lack of cooperation, but there was no victory in sight. Meanwhile, her parents yearned to see their daughter, whom they think isn't deserving of the treatment she's getting.
