FBI Releases 500 Pages of O.J. Simpson Records

The FBI has made public nearly 500 pages of documents related to the late O.J. Simpson, following his death two months ago. The records focus primarily on the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, crimes for which Simpson was identified as a suspect.

Although Simpson consistently declared his innocence and was acquitted in the widely publicized criminal trial, a subsequent civil court found him liable for the victims' deaths and ordered him to pay $33 million in damages to their families.

Forensic Evidence and the Bruno Magli Shoes

A substantial part of the FBI's files discusses the examination of forensic evidence, including fiber samples and detailed notes on a pair of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes. These shoes were a crucial piece of evidence during Simpson’s trials.

An FBI expert testified during the criminal trial that Simpson’s shoe size matched the bloody footprints found at the murder scene, which were traced to the luxury brand Bruno Magli.

During the civil trial, Simpson denied ever owning Bruno Magli shoes. However, photographs later surfaced showing him wearing that exact brand, contradicting his earlier statements.

Investigation Scope

The released materials include correspondence, photographs, and detailed investigative notes. They reveal how the FBI tracked potential purchases of Bruno Magli shoes, contacting multiple retailers to determine if any connection could link Simpson to a specific sale.

Context and Legacy

Interest in the case remains strong, with a new documentary about Nicole Brown Simpson’s life and legacy set for release soon. The FBI’s disclosure sheds further light on one of the most closely followed criminal investigations in modern American history.

Author’s summary: The newly released FBI files revisit O.J. Simpson’s 1994 case, focusing on forensic findings and the trail of the infamous Bruno Magli shoes.
