Knife discovered on O.J. Simpson property can't be forensically matched to murder case
A knife found buried on a property once owned by O.J. Simpson cannot be tied to the 1994 murder of Simpson's ex-wife and her friend, the New York Daily News reports. The knife, which had been discovered by a construction worker and then given to an LAPD officer as a souvenir, was tested for "all forensics" but could not be linked to the case.
"I think this closes the chapter on this knife. We never expected that the knife contained any traces of DNA or anything else that would have connected this knife to the murders," the LAPD officer's attorney, Trent Copeland, said.
