The chase occurred days after his ex-wife and her friend were killed. New details shed light on the role that a mobster might have played in helping Mr. Simpson.

Report reveals that a shady mobster-turned-informant may have been involved in helping cover up murder
An in-depth investigation by the New York Times is raising further questions about the high-profile OJ Simpson case, in which the former football player was accused in the 1990s of killing his ex-wife – and whether a shady mobster-turned-informant may have been involved in helping cover up the murder.
The Times’s investigation revealed that California prosecutors were unable to fully investigate whether Simpson, who was accused but not convicted of his ex-wife’s murder, may have had an accomplice at the scene of the crime.
An “extremely reliable” informant told authorities about the missing murder weapon, according to newly unsealed records. The informant’s brother told The Times his sibling was at the crime scene.
Our national investigative reporter, Mike Baker, helped pry loose previously sealed court files that reveal important new details in the O.J. Simpson case.
