Simpson brutally murdered his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in June 1994.
Despite overwhelming evidence pointing to OJ Simpson being the murderer, the disgraced football player was found not guilty.
OJ Simpson died in April 2024 just a couple of months after it was reported he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
According to a search warrant obtained by TMZ, Minnesota police have several thumb drives from one of OJ Simpson’s bodyguards that has a recording of OJ confessing to the grisly murders.
OJ’s bodyguard, Iroc Avelli, was arrested in March 2022 in a separate case. Police executed a search warrant and seized a backpack full of thumb drives and other evidence.
“Bloomington PD in Minnesota says in June 2024 — 2 months after O.J. died — they got a call from an LAPD detective who advised that Avelli and his attorney met with LAPD and told cops inside the green backpack was a thumb drive with the recording of O.J.’s confession,” TMZ reported.
Minnesota police needed a search warrant to access the contents of the thumb drives. TMZ reported that they got permission from a judge in June but the results are still pending.
TMZ reported:
New twist in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman … police claim they have reason to believe they have a recording of O.J. Simpson confessing to the murders.
According to a new search warrant, obtained by TMZ, cops in Minnesota say they have a thumb drive they were told has a recording of O.J. admitting to the double murder of Nicole and Ron.
What’s more, police say they’ve been told the recording also features O.J. implicating an unknown third party.
In the warrant, cops say they seized a backpack containing multiple thumb drives from a man named Iroc Avelli as part of an investigation in a separate case. Avelli is Simpson’s former bodyguard.
Update: TMZ reported late Tuesday evening that police examined the thumb drives and there is no OJ confession.
5:45 PM PT — The LAPD tells TMZ … “The City of Bloomington, Minnesota Police Department examined the drives in question and determined they contained nothing of evidentiary value. The LAPD has never listened to, or been in possession of, these drives.”
2:42 PM PT — Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Bloomington Police accessed the thumb drives and determined there was no confession by O.J. Simpson.
We’re told … not only was there no confession, there was no O.J. on any of them — it was just Iroc Avelli talking to himself.
Police believe they have audio of OJ Simpson confessing to the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
I virtually sat in the jury box every day by listening live to the radio boadcast. There was not over whelming evidence that O.j. committed the murders. He was not convicted for good reasons. The trial in October of 1993 was the first time I recognized that the MSM was nothing more that a propaganda machine. Long before Trump branded them as Fake News!
