     LA Police Testing Knife Reportedly Found at OJ Simpson's Former Estate

   by VOA News

   A knife that was reported to have been found years ago at the Los
   Angeles estate of one-time American football star and former murder
   suspect O.J. Simpson might be a weapon used in a 1994 double murder
   case that transfixed the country.

   According to [1]entertainment website TMZ, which first reported the
   story, the knife was discovered in 1998 buried at the perimeter of
   Simpson's former estate by a construction worker who was helping
   demolish the estate.

   TMZ reports that the worker gave the knife to a police officer who was
   off duty and who never turned the knife in to authorities.

   After retirement, that officer reportedly mentioned the knife to a
   co-worker. That person relayed the information to their superiors who
   demanded the officer turn over the knife.

   The knife, which has been described as a folding buck knife, is
   reportedly very rusty and stained.

   According to TMZ, there are signs of blood stains on the knife, which
   is now undergoing analysis for DNA and other residue by Los Angeles
   police.

   In a televised trial followed by millions, Simpson was found not guilty
   of murdering his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend
   Ronald Goldman.
