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

The FBI has made public nearly 500 pages of documents related to O.J. Simpson following his death two months ago.

Focus of the Records

The released files primarily detail the criminal investigation into the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, with Simpson identified as a main suspect. Although Simpson always claimed innocence and was acquitted in the criminal trial, he was later held responsible in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33 million to the victims' families.

Forensic Evidence and Shoeprints

The FBI records emphasize the forensic analysis conducted on the case, especially fiber evidence. A significant portion discusses the effort to trace the purchase of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes, which were central to the trials.

An FBI expert testified that the shoe size matched bloody shoeprints found at the crime scene, which were linked to the high-end Bruno Magli brand.

Simpson denied owning or wearing Bruno Magli shoes during the civil trial, but photos later surfaced showing him wearing the brand.

Investigative Details

The documents include notes on the shoes, photographs, and records of the FBI contacting numerous stores to connect Simpson to the shoe purchases.

New Lifetime documentary to release soon about Nicole Brown Simpson’s life and legacy.

"The FBI expert testified at the criminal trial that Simpson's shoe size matched the bloody shoeprints left behind at the scene of the murders."

Author's summary: The FBI’s newly released records shed light on forensic details, focusing heavily on shoeprint evidence that linked O.J. Simpson to the 1994 murders, a key element in his trials.
