http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/04/us/oj-simpson-property-knife/index.htmlLos Angeles police announced that a knife was allegedly found on Simpson's former estate in Brentwood, stirring memories of the stabbings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman outside her apartment in 1994.
"The actual item is described as a knife. I'm not going to go into the description of the knife because that could be germane to determining whether or not this actual piece of evidence is in fact evidence or is just a facsimile or a made up story," Los Angeles police Capt. Andy Neiman said.
Police learned within the last month that an ex-Los Angeles traffic officer received the item from a construction worker who found it "back in the 90s," possibly when the estate was being demolished, Neiman said.
It is being examined for forensics - including DNA and hairs - at a lab, he said.
The now-retired officer who had the knife "held onto it until just recently," and authorities "discovered he had it" within the last month, Neiman said.
The construction worker told the officer he had found the knife on the former Simpson property, according to Neiman.
Neiman said he is not sure whether the officer had left the force at the time.

Maybe that father of the guy did it. That would explain a lot.
