Thumb drives seized from a former bodyguard of OJ Simpson were supposed to crack the infamous double-murder case, but police say no dice.

According to celebrity gossip website TMZ, a search warrant shows Minnesota police possessed a thumb drive they were told would have a recorded confession from Simpson himself, which was also supposed to implicate a third party. If this were true, it would finally bring an end to the saga that featured the tragic double murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

“In the warrant, cops say they seized a backpack containing multiple thumb drives from a man named Iroc Avelli as part of an investigation in a separate case. Avelli is Simpson’s former bodyguard,” the outlet reported.

The bodyguard was arrested in the spring of 2022, at which time police seized the thumb drives in addition to a “green backpack with live ammunition and other items.”

“Bloomington PD in Minnesota says in June 2024 — 2 months after O.J. died — they got a call from an LAPD detective who advised that Avelli and his attorney met with LAPD and told cops inside the green backpack was a thumb drive with the recording of O.J.’s confession,” the report continues.

In order to actually find out what was on the thumb drive, Minnesota authorities sought and obtained an additional search warrant. Updates to the article indicate that this “bombshell” actually turned out to be a massive nothingburger.

“Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Bloomington Police accessed the thumb drives and determined there was no confession by O.J. Simpson. We’re told … not only was there no confession, there was no O.J. on any of them — it was just Iroc Avelli talking to himself,” TMZ said.

An additional update was made several hours later, this time quoting the Los Angeles Police Department.

“The City of Bloomington, Minnesota Police Department examined the drives in question and determined they contained nothing of evidentiary value. The LAPD has never listened to, or been in possession of, these drives,” the authorities revealed.
