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

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

Simpson always claimed innocence and was acquitted in the high-profile criminal trial. However, in a subsequent civil trial, he was found liable and ordered to pay $33 million to the victims' families.

Focus on Forensic Evidence

The released FBI records concentrate on forensic elements, especially fiber analysis from the crime scenes. A significant part of the documents details the FBI's efforts to trace the purchase of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes—a key piece of evidence in the trials.

An FBI expert testified in the criminal trial that Simpson's shoe size matched the bloody shoeprints found at the murder scene, linking them to the high-end Bruno Magli brand.

Despite this, Simpson denied owning Bruno Magli shoes during his civil trial testimony. Nevertheless, photographs later emerged showing him wearing that brand.

Detailed Investigative Methods

The files include notes, photographs, and records of the FBI's attempts to connect Simpson to the shoes by contacting multiple stores that sold Bruno Magli footwear.

“The investigation extensively documented the search for purchase records of Bruno Magli size 12 shoes linked to Simpson,” according to released notes.
