FBI Releases Nearly 500 Pages of O.J. Simpson Records

The FBI has made public almost 500 pages of documents concerning O.J. Simpson, following his death two months ago. The materials focus on the agency’s involvement in the 1994 investigation of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, in which Simpson was a prime suspect.

Simpson consistently claimed innocence and was acquitted in a highly publicized criminal trial. However, a civil court later found him liable for the victims’ deaths and ordered him to pay 33 million dollars to their families.

Details of the Investigation

The FBI records highlight the forensic work conducted during the investigation, including the analysis of fiber samples and other physical evidence. A substantial portion of the documents deals with the Bureau’s efforts to trace the purchase of size 12 shoes resembling Bruno Magli — a key element in the trials.

“An FBI expert testified during the criminal trial that Simpson’s shoe size matched the bloody prints found at the crime scene,”

The expert noted that the prints corresponded to high-end Bruno Magli shoes. During the civil trial, Simpson denied ever wearing that brand, but later, photographs emerged showing him in Bruno Magli footwear.

Additional Records

The released documents include photos, notes about the shoes, and correspondence showing how the FBI contacted multiple stores selling Bruno Magli shoes to establish a potential link between Simpson and a specific purchase.

New Lifetime documentary explores the life and legacy of Nicole Brown Simpson.

Author’s summary: The newly released FBI files offer deeper insight into evidence handling and the pursuit of connections linking O.J. Simpson to key forensic clues.
