Police Search Thumb Drives in Simpson Case

Reports surfaced claiming a thumb drive containing O.J. Simpson's confession to the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman was in police custody, but investigations found no such evidence. The thumb drive was seized during the arrest of Iroc Avelli, Simpson’s former bodyguard, in 2022, and was later claimed by Avelli and his attorney to contain the confession. The Bloomington Police Department, after obtaining a search warrant and conducting a forensic analysis, reported finding no evidentiary value related to the alleged confession. TMZ initially reported the story, but later updated it to clarify the thumb drives contained no recordings of Simpson, only those of Avelli himself. Despite the LAPD's inquiry, the case remains closed as Simpson was acquitted in 1995 and has since passed away. The search warrant and subsequent investigations have not altered the status of the case or introduced new suspects.
