Knife found years ago on OJ Simpsons Property (1 Viewer)

Maybe Furhman put it there later but decided to remain quiet after his stellar moments on the stand where he ended up pleading the 5th.

I don't think Jesus had anything to do with it.

Unless you mean Jesus on The Walking Dead. That guy's definitely shifty.

Yup, it doesn't make any sense at all for O.J. or someone looking to protect O.J. to bury it on his property after police had searched the place. That would be the height of stupidity.

So you're saying that O.J. told a friend, "hey. I hid my knife in the toilet tank which the police didn't find.  Go back to my house.  Yeah, don't worry about any police presence or neighbors.  Ok, now I want you to take it from the toilet tank where the police stupidly didn't look, wipe it off and drop it 400 miles from my house in the desert.  No wait.  I have a better idea.  Just leave the blood on it and bury it in the garden near the Japanese Maple."  Yeah.  I can easily see it playing out like that.

But we're talking about a knife found on the property.  Why do you guys keep bringing up other locations?  Sure, somebody could have hopped the fence years after the fact an buried a random knife there.  Who the hell knows?

I was bringing up another location because it would be highly improbable that O.J. or a friend would bury the knife on the property at the time of the event (or immediately afterwards) and the police didn't find it.  If O.J. hastily buried it, there would have to be some evidence of recent upheaval. I don't think the knife is the knife which was involved in the murders and the story was fabricated.

Unless of course there was some kind of hidden compartment in the house.  They say it was found on the property during a renovation.  So my original assumption may be totally off.  

 
Whoever put this story together wanted to try and create a market for an item to walk in to Rick's Gold and Pawn in Las Vegas to sell.

Fabricated story IMO. 

 
So the only reason they even discovered this is because the cop who had the knife called in and asked for the OJ case number.  When asked why he wanted that info, he told them the story and said he wanted to get the knife engraved to display in his home.  :lmao:

To be fair he is LAPD and you can't expect him to realize the knife may have been important to the case.

We were discussing whether or not he could have buried it there (assuming this knife is the murder weapon), not the likelihood or unlikeliness of burying it there, in the ocean or anywhere else.  Who knows if it's actually the murder weapon or not at this point?

I was just going to post this exact comment.  No way OJ buried the knife on the Property.  No way. No how.  They combed over every square inch of that Property for months.

Except for that one little patch near the property line.  By the rose bushes. 

 
If this knife turns out to be THE KNIFE, then I don't see how they don't bring this piece of #### cop on charges and take away his ####### pension.

Do we know that the LAPD combed over the place for months?  Did they dig up the grounds?  It wasn't like he buried a box.  We're talking about a little 6 inch knife. He could have stabbed it into the ground and pounded it down a couple of inches. It could have been a little hole he could have covered up like new in 30 seconds. You imagining him out there with a back hoe and big pile of dirt?  Is it that outlandish to think he could have stuck a knife into the ground somewhere on his massive estate in the 4 days between the murder and the bronco chase?  Again, I don't think it's the murder weapon but is it possible it could be?  Sure.

You don't think they used metal detectors?

I don't know. Maybe they did and they missed it. This was the same crack unit that botched evidence gathering at the actual crime scene.  They also had a witness at the airport who saw oj stick his arm in a trash bin and deposit something. Maybe they assumed that's where the knife was and didn't look as deeply as they should have.  I'm not saying it's likely, I'm just saying never say never.

 
If there's no chance that's the murder weapon then why is the lapd even bothering to look at it?  Why have a press conference? Or at least why not state at the press conference that it's highly unlikely that this knife has anything to do with the case?

 
I don't know.  I guess it is possible.  and the more I think about it, it is kind of weird that a knife would be buried like that.

The ground is filled with iron objects, nails, spikes, rust flakes wire etc and all sound like a steel knife on a metal detector.   The police are mostly looking for surface objects, they don't dig undergound on a property because it would take weeks possibly months to uncover everything.  A buried knife would not get dug unless you could see the ground was obviously disturbed, and maybe not even then.

If it was buried on the grounds they would have found it.  Yes there are spikes and nails (most likely very near the house, but they would discount anything under concrete.  They would dig up the stray nail.  I also expect their metal detectors are higher end and can distinguish between a rust flake and a knife.

l doubt he's in the right frame of mind after slashing the throat of two people to devise a way to hide the thing.  The knife had to have been bloody, he's got blood on his gloves, blood on this shoes and clothes most likely.  In any event, unless it was in the house in some secret compartment I still say there's no way he successfully hides the thing on his property.

If you ever saw one of those metal detecting shows, their detectors are constantly beeping and they aren't digging those beeps.   That's iron metal and iron oxide which is the bane of metal detecting.   It's everywhere.  Higher end metal detectors aren't much better than low end detectors when it comes to iron identification because ID is based on the size and conductivity of the metal, both of which is variable.  The police always seem to use the cheap detectors, they are lighter and they police won't get much value out of the increased complexity/ sensitivity of expensive detectors which are made to sniff out a silver dime at 10 inches, not large items like knives and guns, which they usually "overload" on.  Police just want a cheap turn on and go model and a cheap detector usually works perfectly fine for what they are doing.   Local electrical interference (police radios probably also) plays havoc with all metal detectors and can render it useless.  

 All that said, the best place to bury a knife or gun would be by a steel fence, next to steel reinforced concrete, the water or electical meters, or any other large chunks of metal like well piping or aluminum siding or a broken down old car in the backyard, any metal detector would overload a few feet away from those items and not be able to see anything underground.

 
I would think the shape of the OJ knife ... length, width, thickness, overall shape at tip ... as compared to the wounds ... would be very revealing whether or not it was the murder weapon.  If the tip broke off during the struggle that would be the clincher.

You dont need DNA or fingerprint evidence to know where a knife came from.  This past weekend I was walking the dog and saw a Mason bottle under an old bridge with some holes punched in the top, it was a bait bottle for mink, and 5 feet away there was a nice leatherman pocket knife, it had been there for about 5 years, the holes punched in the top of the jar were clearly from the knife.   A mink trapper probably left it there.  I could ask around who trapped mink in the area a few years ago and easily find the suspect.

It was near a golf course and we do know OJ golfs.  If OJ had a mink trapping license in Wisconsin then that is pretty good proof that I just found the murder weapon.
