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

The FBI has made public almost 500 pages of documents related to O.J. Simpson following his death two months ago. These files primarily focus on the 1994 criminal investigation into the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, in which Simpson was identified as a suspect.

Simpson always claimed his innocence and was acquitted in the widely publicized criminal trial. However, he was later found responsible in a civil court and ordered to pay $33 million to the victims' families.

Forensic Evidence and Shoe Investigation

The released records largely detail the forensic evidence examined by the FBI, including fiber samples. A significant portion of the documents describes the FBI’s efforts to trace the purchase of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes, a critical piece of evidence used during Simpson’s trials.

An FBI expert testified in the criminal trial that Simpson’s shoe size matched the bloody footprints found at the murder scene. He stated that the prints were linked to the high-end Bruno Magli brand.

During the civil trial, Simpson denied ever wearing Bruno Magli shoes. Despite this, photos surfaced showing him wearing shoes from this brand.

FBI Methods to Connect Simpson to Shoe Purchases

The documents include notes, photographs, and descriptions of how the FBI contacted numerous stores selling Bruno Magli shoes in an attempt to link Simpson to a purchase of that brand.

“The FBI sought to connect Simpson to the purchase by reaching out to multiple retailers that sold Bruno Magli shoes.”
