Jimmy Hoffa's family is appealing to the FBI to keep the decades-long investigation into his vanishing active rather than shelving the case. James P. Hoffa, the son of the legendary labour leader who disappeared in 1975, expressed frustration with the possibility that the government might close the file, stating the family prefers a resolution over abandonment of the search.

With the 51st anniversary of Hoffa's disappearance approaching within two weeks, the family is calling on authorities to reveal whatever evidence or knowledge they have accumulated about the circumstances of his death. The request represents an ongoing effort by the Hoffa family to keep public attention on a case that has remained unsolved for more than half a century.
