That was a big deal that turned out to be nothing useful. The knife that was found on OJ Simpson’s property, and shadily held onto by a former LAPD cop for years, does not have an DNA on it.
Reports TMZ:
Sources familiar with the situation tell us, the DNA testing produced no matches. We’re told the microbes in the soil degraded any DNA to the point it was impossible to get a meaningful result.
We’re also told there was no hair or other sample that produced a lead.
TMZ broke the story … a construction worker found the buck knife with a 5″ blade buried on the perimeter of the property and gave it to a retired LAPD cop who was doing traffic control for a movie shoot. The cop took it home and put it in his tool box for more than a dozen years.
The LAPD has not announced the results, but we’re told the investigation is over.
Nevertheless, OJ is still in jail. For robbery and kidnapping in a separate case, not for allegedly murdering Nicole Brown Simpson, though.
