It seems to be common knowledge that most likely, the mob had a very large role in his disappearance. Here is a recount of the day he disappeared and the circumstances.
Jimmy Hoffa was supposed to be meeting Detroit mobster Anthony “Tony Jack” Giacalone and New Jersey labor leader Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano, who also happened to be a made member of the Genovese crime family. The reason for this meeting, Hoffa believed, was to discuss his intention to run for the presidency of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and regain the powerful position he had lost after his 1964 convictions for jury tampering, conspiracy, and mail and wire fraud.
Not long after Hoffa had called home on the pay phone outside the hardware store, a maroon 1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham pulled out of the restaurant parking lot and nearly hit a truck. The truck driver, who was making deliveries in the area, pulled up next to the car and immediately recognized Jimmy Hoffa sitting in the backseat behind the car’s driver. The truck driver also noticed a long object covered with a gray blanket on the seat between Hoffa and another passenger. The truck driver thought it was a shotgun or a rifle. He didn’t get a good look at anyone else in the car.
The next day Hoffa’s green 1974 Pontiac Grand Ville was found unlocked in the restaurant parking lot. Police opened the trunk but found nothing unusual. Using the truck driver’s description of the car Hoffa was last seen in, investigators were able to trace the maroon Mercury to its owner, Joe Giacalone, the son of mobster Anthony Giacalone.

The rumor is the mob killed Jimmy Hoffa. However his body has never been found. He may still be alive.

Um. Duh.
And they dumped his body in the river. Jimmy Hoffa is sleeping with the fishes.
Didn't a mafia guy confess to being there when he got killed? I remember hearing something about that on NPR a couple years ago.

Of course they did, the question is, where did they stash the body? Personally, I think Jimmy sleeps with the fishes.
