Yes, Jimmy Hoffa is a "famous" disappeared person case here in America.

There are only a few "famous mysteries" that became such widespread memes in American culture. The ones I can think of are:

1. What happened to Jimmy Hoffa (who killed him?). "The Irishman" on Netflix is a Scorsese adaptation of a "nonfiction" book that documents an old Mafia hitman claiming to have killed Hoffa. (The book is nonfiction, the guy's claims are somewhat contested.)

2. What happened to Amelia Earhart? (Early female aviator who disappeared attempting to fly around the world).

3. What happened to and who was DB Cooper? (A man hijacked an airplane, traded some hostages for a duffle bag of cash at an airport when such a thing was possible, told the pilots to fly to Canada and then jumped out of the plane with a parachute and the duffle bag somewhere over the pacific northwest).

4. Who shot JFK?

Thank you, I regret picking such a reference. Amazing to entertain that the guy who killed Hoffa could have lived long enough to write about it. As if reality suddenly became gentler, and all differences could be hugged out.
