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

The FBI has published almost 500 pages of documents related to O.J. Simpson after his death two months ago. These records focus on the criminal investigation of the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, with Simpson identified as a suspect.

Key Focus of the FBI Documents

The records primarily examine forensic evidence from the case, including fiber samples. A significant portion details the FBI's efforts to trace the purchase of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes, which became a key piece of evidence during Simpson’s trials.

Shoe Evidence in Simpson’s Trials

An FBI expert testified that the bloody shoeprints at the murder scene matched Simpson’s shoe size and were linked to the high-end Bruno Magli brand.
Simpson denied owning Bruno Magli shoes during the civil trial, but photos later emerged showing him wearing them.

"Simpson denied ever wearing Bruno Magli shoes during his testimony in the civil trial, but photos were uncovered showing him wearing the brand."

The FBI documents include detailed notes about the shoes, photographs, and investigations involving multiple stores selling the Bruno Magli brand to connect Simpson to a purchase.

Simpson was acquitted in the criminal trial but was found liable in the civil case and ordered to pay $33 million to the victims’ families.

Lifetime will release a new documentary focusing on the life and legacy of Nicole Brown Simpson.

Author’s summary: The newly released FBI files shed light on the forensic investigations in the O.J. Simpson case, especially the crucial shoe evidence linking him to the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
