Thirty-nine years ago this month, Jimmy Hoffa was last seen having lunch at a restaurant in Bloomfield Township in Oakland County.

Retired FBI agent, Greg Stejskal, will appear in the new PBS documentary “Who Killed Jimmy Hoffa?”

He joined us today on Stateside to revisit the mystery of the Jimmy Hoffa disappearance.

Stejskal was a new agent with the FBI in Detroit in the summer of 1975 when Hoffa disappeared. The investigation into his disappearance was declared a Bureau "Special," which meant most of the agents in the Detroit office became involved.

One of Stejskal’s duties was to conduct neighborhood interviews around the Machus Red Fox restaurant, the last place where Hoffa was seen.

In the years that followed, Stejskal spent some time working organized crime. He remained in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area for his entire career. When he retired in 2006, he was the last agent still in the area that had worked the Hoffa case from the beginning.

You can check out our interview with Michigan Radio’s Jack Lessenberry about Jimmy Hoffa here.
