Why the Story of O.J.’s Knife Seems Dubious

By Dennis Romero on March 4, 2016 Celebrity Crime

It’s a sensational story.

A knife reportedly found at O.J. Simpson’s former Brentwood home was allegedly kept by a Los Angeles Police Department officer for years, until he recently reached out to a fellow cop to get the departmental record number on the Nicole Brown Simpson murder case so he could have it engraved on a frame for the weapon.

The LAPD today said it was testing the knife for any possible links to the 1994 stabbing murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The case is still open and unsolved.

It seems doubtful to us that the knife was used in the murders.
