A Blood-Stained Knife Was Found Buried At OJ Simpson’s Estate, Get The Bizarre Details Inside!
Thanks to FX’s limited series The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, people are once again talking about the 1994 murder case that captivated the nation. And thanks to all this new buzz being created by the limited series, new information surrounding the case is beginning to leak out.
According to a bizarre report from TMZ, a knife was reportedly buried on the estate of O.J. Simpson. The folding buck knife was found by a construction worker who was working on the property “several years ago.”
This is where the story gets really interesting. The worker took the knife to the street, where he noticed an LAPD cop standing. He handed the police officer the knife and told him where he found it, which at the time seemed like the correct thing to do.
However, the cop (who worked in the traffic division) was off duty at the time. He was apparently working security for a movie being filmed across the street. The officer decided to take the knife back to his house, and he allegedly kept it there for several years.
But get this, the cop retired at the beginning of the year and called one of his buddies in LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division. He told the friend about the knife, and explained that he was wanting to get it framed to put on his wall. He wanted this buddy of his to locate the department record number for the Nicole Brown Simpson/Ronald Goldman murder case, so he could engrave it on the frame.
Sounds like some real Manitowoc County type sh-t, right? But thankfully the friend he called told his superiors about the knife, and they demanded that the retired cop turn the knife over.
He did, and now it’s being tested for fingerprints and hair. It will then be “moved to the Serology Unit next week, where it will be tested for DNA and other biological evidence.” The investigation is apparently “top secret,” but somehow TMZ managed to get the details.
The cops who were able to look at the knife before it entered testing claimed it looked like there might have been blood residue on it.
We’ll keep you posted.
