BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Bloomington Police say there is no truth to rumors that a man arrested there had a recorded confession from O.J. Simpson related to the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Iroc Avelli, who claimed to be a former bodyguard for the football star, was arrested for assault in Bloomington in 2022. During that arrest, Bloomington police collected a “backpack which contained media thumb drives.”
This summer, Los Angeles police said Avelli and his attorney claimed those drives had “a recording of O.J. Simpson confessing to the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman.”
In court, Avelli’s attorney argued those drives contained “very sensitive, delicate information which shouldn’t be in the public, period.”
After a full forensics investigation of the thumb drives, Bloomington detectives “did not locate any information of evidentiary value for the Los Angeles Police Department.”
Avelli was found not competent in his assault case.
O.J. Simpson died in April at age 76. No one has ever been convicted in his ex-wife’s 1994 murder.
