One of the most infuriating questions regarding the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman involves the absence of a murder weapon. “The weapon was without question a large, serrated … 15-inch knife,” it was reported by WLS after the murders, via ABC News. However, investigators failed to locate a knife, despite using satellites to search for metal in the locale of the murders and around places O.J. Simpson was known to have been.
In July 1994, it was reported that Simpson had actually purchased a brand new 15-inch Stiletto knife from Ross Cutlery in Los Angeles just six weeks prior to his ex-wife’s murder. However, that alleged knife was tested prior to Simpson’s trial, and there was apparently no evidence it had been used to kill anyone.
Robert Kardashian, father of Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney Kardashian and a close friend of Simpson, was also dragged into the search for the murder weapon. Photographs taken of Robert the day after the murders showed him leaving Simpson’s house with a Louis Vuitton garment bag, which it was soon speculated may have contained potential evidence, such as a murder weapon. But when the bag was eventually turned over to police, it contained nothing at all. Ron Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman, expressed his dismay at Robert’s alleged involvement in Simpson’s affairs, telling the Daily Mail, “That evidence would have convicted ‘the killer.'”
