LAPD investigates knife purportedly found at Simpson home

LOS ANGELES — Detectives are investigating a knife purportedly found some time ago at the former home of O.J. Simpson, who was acquitted of murder charges in the 1994 stabbings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, a police spokesman said Friday.

A citizen supposedly found the knife, possibly during demolition of Simpson's former home years ago, and turned it over to a now-retired police motorcycle officer who was working as a security guard at a filming location, police Capt. Andy Neiman said.

The knife was being analyzed by an LAPD crime lab for DNA or other material.
