After a knife found on the property of O.J. Simpson‘s former home was turned into police last month, an investigation was opened into whether the weapon was involved in the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson.

The police have now revealed to People that the knife was not involved with the crime.

“We did all kinds of forensic tests. We did DNA, blood, fibers. Everything that it could be tested for. The testing came back and based on the testing there is no nexus to the double homicide at this time and the case remains open,” LAPD Captain Andrew Neiman explained.

He added that the department took the situation seriously, but do not know what they will do with the knife now that the testing has come back negative.

O.J. Simpson‘s former manager Norman Pardo just told KNX 1070 that he knows who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Norman went on to say that it was not O.J. who committed the murders, and he would disclose who committed the crimes at a certain point.

“I know who did it and I knοw why they did it,” Norman said during the interview.

He was asked why he hadn’t disclosed any of this to the LAPD, but Norman insisted he had. “We tried to talk to the police but they took all my stuff regarding the incident,” Norman said.

Norman recently told People that O.J. isn’t worried about reports that a knife was found buried on his property.

“Everybody I’ve spoken with says he’s just ignoring it. He’s not talking about it,” Norman said. “When he heard the news on TV, all he did was shake his head, as if to say, ‘Will this ever end?’ He’s definitely shrugging it off and pretty much saying, I’m not going to worry about it.’”
