In Raleigh-Durham (Fayetteville), unsealed court records from the O.J. Simpson case have revealed that an informant provided information about the missing murder weapon, over 30 years after his acquittal.
Raleigh Durham, NC, October 19, 2026 —
Unsealed court records from the O.J. Simpson case have revealed that an informant provided information about the missing murder weapon, according to the available account. The disclosure came more than 30 years after Simpson’s acquittal.
The account does not identify the informant or describe what information was provided. It also does not say when the information was given, whether it led to any action, or what the records say about the weapon’s whereabouts. No details about the court or the timing of the records’ unsealing were provided.
The newly described information concerns the weapon, which the account characterizes as missing. It does not establish that the weapon was found, recovered or independently verified, and no such outcome was provided. The account also does not explain whether the informant’s information was previously known to investigators or became public for the first time through the unsealed records.
Simpson was acquitted more than 30 years before the disclosure, but the account gives no date for the acquittal or for the records’ release. It does not provide statements from Simpson, the informant, investigators, attorneys or the court, and it includes no verbatim quotations.
As described, the records add information about an informant’s role in the long-running question of the missing murder weapon. The limited details available leave unanswered who supplied the information, what it contained and whether it changed the understanding of the weapon’s status. Further specifics about the records or any subsequent developments were not provided.
