For our first half of Discovering Jimmy Hoffa, we jump into what feels like a historical mystery - who is this man that seems to be a punchline? From clandestine CIA endorsed and organized crime assisted missions to potential association with the JFK assassination, Jimmy Hoffa was an enigma. Though he was the face of the Labor Movement and held ties to Civil Rights and championed the rights for workers, there is so much more to this person than just the fact he disappeared.

Though the case has not been declared a homicide, there is enough questionable activity to generate an Unsolved Mysteries episode and still leaves friends and family asking questions today.
We look at whistleblowing and what could have happened that night in 1984, but also what happened in the United States before the Chernobyl incident regarding nuclear power and mistakes happening on this side of the ocean.
We're back again with a haunted or nahnted, and this time in Monticello, Arkansas.

From gangsters to ghouls, the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas has had a very interesting history.
