Although the infamous former athlete passed away earlier this year, last April, O.J. Simpson has once again made headlines. New details about the case involving the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, known as ‘The Trial of the Century’, have emerged, pointing to the guilt of the former athlete.

The alleged possibility of a recording of the former athlete and NFL legend confessing to being the author of the murders would have turned the investigation around.

Are there recordings of O.J. Simpson admitting to having murdered Nicole?
According to a search warrant obtained by the news website TMZ, Minnesota police have in their possession several USB drives belonging to a man named Iroc Avelli that were seized as part of a separate investigation. An important detail to note is that Avelli used to be a bodyguard for O.J. Simpson.
Iroc Avelli was arrested in March 2022, but it wasn't until June 2024, two months after Simpson's death, that the Bloomington Police Department in Minnesota received an important call from a detective working for the Los Angeles Police Department.
He informed them that Avelli and his lawyer had met with LAPD agents and confessed that inside a green backpack there was a USB drive with O.J.'s confession recording on it. A search warrant was executed from the Bloomington police station to find evidence for their other case, and a green backpack with real ammunition and other items, including several USB drives, was found.
However, everything seems to have been a legal ploy by Iroc Avelli, who claimed that in those recordings O.J. was heard not only admitting to the double murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, but also implicating a fourth person, as the LAPD already stated that "the Bloomington City Police Department has examined the memories in question and has determined that they do not contain any probative value". He also said that he has "never heard or been in possession" of the memory discs.
Finally, police sources from Bloomington told TMZ that not only is there no confession from O.J. Simpson in the confiscated USB drives, but the majority of them are just Avelli talking to himself.
