LA investigates knife purportedly found at OJ Simpson home

March 05, 2016 00:31

Detectives are investigating a knife purportedly found some time ago at the former home of O J Simpson, who was acquitted of murder charges in the 1994 stabbings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend

Ron Goldman, a police spokesman said today.

The knife was supposedly found by a citizen, possibly during demolition the home years ago, and turned over to a now-retired police motorcycle officer who was working as a filming location security guard, police Capt. Andy Neiman said.

The knife came to light in the last month, but Neiman did not say how that occurred. He stressed that the authenticity of the story was not confirmed.

"Maybe the story is bogus from the get-go," he said. The knife is being analyzed by a Los Angeles Police Department crime lab. Neiman said investigators didn't know the identity of the person who handed it over and asked him or her to come forward.
