An incriminating recording of O.J. Simpson is reportedly in the hands of law enforcement.
According to a search warrant reviewed by TMZ , Minnesota police claim they possess a thumb drive containing a recording of Simpson confessing to the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. The recording also reportedly implicates a third party.
Per the warrant, the purported thumb drive was reportedly found in a green backpack seized in 2022 during the arrest of Iroc Avelli, Simpson's former bodyguard, as part of an unrelated investigation.
In June 2024, two months after Simpson's death, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) informed the Bloomington Police Department (BPD) in Minnesota about the alleged confession after Avelli and his attorney disclosed its existence.
Minnesota authorities obtained a search warrant to access the thumb drive's contents that month, but their findings remain undisclosed due to ongoing litigation.
Avelli and his lawyer had reportedly been fighting to reclaim the seized items, but a judge denied their request in July.
While the thumb drive is still in the hands of the Bloomington PD, it's unclear if its contents have been examined or shared with the LAPD.
Malcolm LaVergne, Simpson's longtime attorney and executor of his will and trust, told TMZ there has been no active pursuit of other suspects since Simpson's acquittal in 1995.
