OJ Simpson allegedly confessed to killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and his former bodyguard claims all of it was caught on tape. However, cops have revealed that there is no such evidence to back up these claims.
The rumors first broke out on Tuesday when TMX reported that Bloomington police were in possession of a thumb drive with the recording on it after arresting one of OJ Simpson's old bodyguards, Iroc Avelli. However, within two hours, the PD divulged that the thumb drive was searched, and officers “did not locate any information of evidentiary value for the Los Angeles Police Department.”

The Bloomington PD arrested Avelli on March 3, 2022, in connection with an alleged assault. Several of his personal effects were seized at the time, including a backpack with many thumb drives. However, in June 2024, about two months after Simpson passed away, the LAPD contacted the Bloomington officials, asking for the drives.
They claimed that Avelli and his lawyer said that one of the pen drives had Simpson's confession to the murders of Brown Simpson and her boyfriend, Ron Goldman, on it. He also claimed that the drives implicated an unknown individual alongside OJ Simpson in the 1994 killings. As reported by Fox Live Now, Officer George Harms then applied for a search warrant in Hennepin County.
He wanted to go through the thumb drives so that "full forensics examination can be conducted on all thumb drives to try and obtain the recording." The warrant was issued because:
"the thumb drives constitutes evidence which tends to show crime has been committed, or tends to show that particular person has committed crime."
According to CBS News, Avelli's lawyer contended that in court, those drives contained "very sensitive, delicate information which shouldn't be in the public, period." However, according to Fox News, the Bloomington PD offered an update revealing that all six pen drives recovered were searched thoroughly by a Digital Forensics Examiner, and nothing of importance was found.
The New York Post reported that OJ Simpson wasn't even heard, and it was just Avelli speaking to himself. The drive is still in the possession of the police, alongside other devices and ammunition, all of which were recovered from Avelli's bag. His lawyers have moved to retrieve his belongings.

In 1994, OJ Simpson was charged with the double slayings of his ex-wife and her boyfriend in LA. However, following a media-hungry trial, he was acquitted a year later. While he avoided time behind bars, a second civil trial jury pronounced him guilty in 1997. He died just this year in April at his home in Las Vegas, having succumbed to prostate cancer.
