July 30, 1975: Hoffa leaves his Lake Orion home about 1 p.m. He stops in Pontiac and arrives at the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township around 2 p.m. to meet with Detroit mob captain Anthony (Tony Jack) Giacalone and New Jersey mobster Anthony (Tony Pro) Provenzano. Hoffa goes there to settle a feud with Provenzano. Hoffa calls his wife from a nearby payphone around 2:15 p.m. to say he's been stood up -- and then vanishes.
