Short Video Showing the changes of a human eye after death over time

Immediate Postmortem Changes

"Immediate postmortem changes" or "rapid changes after death" relate to the cessation of bodily functions, including the respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems. These changes are specifically the "signs of death" or "indications of death." In brief, death is considered to have occurred when the vital functions of the body have irreversibly ceased.

Respiration completely stops after death resulting in loss of respiratory movements and breathing sounds. The feather test and mirror test are a couple of traditional tests used to confirm this. However, these tests are quite unreliable.

Circulatory stoppage results in a loss of pulse, which can also be confirmed by a flat electrocardiogram (ECG) in a hospital setting. The absence of respiratory and cardiac sounds on auscultation over 5 minutes indicates a sign of death as advocated by expert clinicians. The finding of the break-up of the columns of blood in the retinal blood vessels (retinal vascular segmentation) on ophthalmoscopy confirms the stoppage of circulation and is one of the earliest indications of death.

Cessation of nervous system functions results in the loss of sensory and motor functions and reflexes. The muscles begin to become flaccid with a loss of tone. Pupils also dilate as a result of this. A flat electroencephalogram (EEG) confirms the loss of electrical activity in the brain in a hospital setting.

Early Postmortem Changes

Three early postmortem changes occur while the body is still in the fresh stage before the breakdown of soft tissues, namely algor mortis, livor mortis, and rigor mortis, which are of forensic significance.

The eye changes during the early postmortem period include corneal turbidity/opacity and tache noire formation. The intraocular tension progressively falls to nil about 2 hours after death, although this is disputable.

Algor mortis

is the postmortem cooling of body temperature until it equalizes the temperature of the surrounding environment. The rate of cooling lags initially, then becomes linear before slowing down again as it approaches the ambient temperature, giving a sigmoid-shaped curve when graphically represented. The ambient temperature is a critical factor that affects the rate of postmortem cooling of the body. Postmortem cooling of the body continues for about 6 hours after death, and the rate of cooling is primarily dependent on the difference in body temperature at the time of death and the temperature of its surroundings. The rate of cooling will hasten in a body immersed in water, a naked body, and a thin body. The rate of cooling will be slower in a well-clothed body and an obese body. A prudent forensic pathologist will not estimate the time since death based on the single criterion of algor mortis. The rate of postmortem cooling of the body is affected by multiple variables.

Livor mortis

also known as postmortem hypostasis or postmortem lividity, is a passive process of blood accumulating within the blood vessels in the dependent parts of the body as a result of gravity, causing a discoloration of the skin that varies from pink to dark purplish. It begins to be apparent about an hour after death, is well-formed in about 3 to 4 hours after death, and gets fixed in about 6 to 8 hours after death. However, it is worth noting that the timing of livor mortis is highly variable. Hemolysis leads to the fixation of lividity. Once fixed, lividity does not shift its distribution when the position of the body changes. The dermal manifestation of postmortem lividity may be absent in the severely anemic or those who have died of severe hemorrhage. It may not be apparent in the dark-skinned.

Livor mortis requires differentiation from a contusion or bruise, which occurs due to blood vessel rupture from blunt force impact and exsanguination of blood into the surrounding tissues.

Rigor mortis (postmortem rigidity)

is the stiffening of the muscles of the corpse due to the depletion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) after death with the subsequent build-up of lactate in muscle tissue resulting in an inability to release the actin-myosin bond. This postmortem muscle change appreciated grossly follows the initial phase of primary flaccidity of muscles and is itself followed by the secondary flaccidity of muscles that coincides with the beginning of putrefactive changes. The process of rigor mortis uniformly involves all muscles of the body. However, it is first apparent generally in smaller muscles such as the jaw and the eyelids due to quicker depletion of ATP relative to larger muscles in the trunk and limbs. Rigor mortis occurs in both voluntary and involuntary muscles, including the cardiac muscle. It is first evident in the facial muscles at 1 to 4 hours after death. The gelling of the muscle proteins is apparent as muscle stiffening in about 6 hours after death in the rest of the muscles and is complete about 12 hours after death. This rigidity of the muscles lasts for about another 12 hours or so. The body then returns to a flaccid state after the enzymatic breakdown of actin and myosin binding sites. The rate at which rigor mortis passes off will be rapid in a hot environment as the onset of putrefaction is hastened in such an environment. Cold temperatures lengthen the duration of rigor.

In brief, postmortem changes in the muscles include:

Primary flaccidity of the muscles

The rigidity of the muscles (rigor mortis)

Secondary flaccidity of the muscles

Rigor mortis of the arrector pili muscle attached to the base of a hair follicle is also responsible for the phenomenon of cutis anserina (cutis anserine), otherwise known as postmortem goosebumps. Rigor mortis needs to be distinguished from cadaveric spasm/instantaneous rigor, which is an immediate contraction of a small group of muscles at the instance of death, seen in scenarios of violent death like in the case of drowning.

Late Postmortem Changes

Decomposition

Two mechanisms are involved in decomposition: autolysis and putrefaction. Although decomposition begins soon after death through autolysis, the macroscopic changes brought about by decomposition become apparent much later when putrefaction occurs.

Autolysis is a process that occurs due to leakage of hydrolytic cellular enzymes from cells after death. The changes that occur in this process are mainly on a microscopic rather than a macroscopic level. Internally, autolytic changes are most prominent in the pancreas and other organs with a high concentration of cellular enzymes. In comparison, the prostate and the non-gravid uterus take a longer duration of time to decompose.

The leakage of cellular contents also leads to a suitable environment for microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, normally present in the human microbiota, to grow and degrade surrounding tissues, which is known as the process of putrefaction.

Unlike autolytic changes, putrefactive changes are visible on a macroscopic level as discoloration of the skin or bloating of body parts such as the face, abdomen, breast, and scrotum. It can appear in various forms, such as putrefactive fluids and putrefactive gases.

Stages of Decomposition

There are five stages of decomposition, namely fresh, bloated, active decay, advanced decay, and skeletal stage. These stages may occur simultaneously in different parts of the same corpse, and it may be difficult for a forensic pathologist to label the state of the corpse with a single stage.

The fresh stage

is the immediate period following death in which autolysis occurs. Algor mortis, livor mortis, and rigor mortis are apparent in this stage.

The earliest external sign of putrefaction is the greenish discoloration of the skin of the anterior abdominal wall in the right iliac fossa region. In this region of the abdomen, the caecum, loaded with semi-solid intestinal content and commensal gut bacteria, lies quite superficial. This greenish discoloration of the skin results from the formation of sulfhemoglobin facilitated by the commensal intestinal bacteria that invade the tissues after death. This skin discoloration in the right iliac fossa region appears about 18 hours after death. In temperate climates, this greening may first appear 2 to 3 days after death. The ambient temperature affects the speed of onset of putrefaction and its rate of progression.

The blowflies (Calliphoridae) and flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) are often the first insects attracted to a dead body. In brief, the invasion of the body by flies and the life cycle of flies (oviposition, hatching of eggs, feeding activity of larvae or maggots, the transformation of maggots to adult flies) coincide primarily with the bloated and decay stages of decomposition. The flies may even be attracted to a dead body towards the end of the fresh stage.

Bloated stage

body parts, including organs and soft tissues, swelling due to the accumulation of putrefactive gases or other decompositional products from the putrefaction process. It usually starts in the abdomen and then slowly affects other parts, including the face, breasts, and genitals. Also, during this stage, skin changes occur, such as blisters and slippage. Skin slippage at the extremities is known as degloving. Moreover, the phenomenon of marbling is also present during this stage, where blood vessels are visible on the skin as greenish-black streaks and eventually results in skin discoloration ranging from green to black. These postmortem changes are apparent in about 24 to 48 hours after death.

Active decay

is a stage where putrefaction accelerates after bloating. Postmortem purging where putrefactive body fluids become forced out of body orifices is observable during this stage of decomposition. The detachment of hair or hair sloughing and black discoloration of ruptured skin are seen.

Advanced decay

also called black putrefaction or late decay, is a stage where bones begin to get exposed, and the body assumes a "caved in" appearance. Degradation-resistant tissue such as hair (although already sloughed) and cartilage are spared up to this stage.

The skeletal stage

also called dry remains stage or skeletonization, begins when bone exposure is extensive, but the bone is yet to break down. The remaining dried skin, cartilage, and tendons are minimal in this stage. Decomposition significantly slows down at this stage, and it takes years or decades for the skeletal remains to disintegrate.

The literature also reports differential decomposition involving mummification or adipocere formation.

Mummification

Mummification results from tissue desiccation and is a phenomenon that occurs when the corpse is in an environment that is hot and dry. The skin of the corpse becomes dark, dry, and appears leathery in appearance.Overall the body appears parched; this preserves the corpse for a more extended period. It can occur to the corpse as a whole or in localized areas such as the extremities or the tongue.

Adipocere Formation

Adipocere is a yellowish to a gray-colored waxy substance that can preserve the corpse as a whole or some parts of it. Adipocere formation in the buccal pad of fat will retain the outline of the cheeks. Unlike mummification, the process of adipocere formation occurs in corpses in environments that are high in moisture. Anaerobic conditions, such as a flooded burial or submersion in water, facilitate adipocere formation. The process primarily involves hydrolysis and hydrogenation of body fats to fatty acids and soaps and adipocere formation. Although reports exist of adipocere formation occurring as early as about three weeks after death, in most cases, it becomes apparent only months after death.

Overview:

This grisly documentary presents horrifying journalistic footage of suicides, assassinations, bombings, mob hits, decapitations, and more in bloody detail.

Hello there! I decided to put together all info I could find on particular livestreamed mass attacks and livestreamed crime in general, with added information on the cases. I hope you'll enjoy it, it took me a lot! but anyways, let's start:

Christchurch mosque shootings

Everybody here probably already knows about these shootings but to sum it up: On the 15th March 2019, a 28 year old, nazi, chud retard called Brenton Tarrant committed two consecutive shootings in two mosques, Masjid-Al-Noor and the Linswood Islamic Center of Christchurch, New Zealand. The gunman killed 51 people and injured another 49, all of which were muslims. The attacks were livestreamed on Facebook, along a manifesto written by Tarrant named The Great Replacement, to inspire other far-right extremists to carry out shootings in a similair vein to the Christchurch ones. The livestream isn't the full terrorist attack, as it was taken down before he could reach the 2nd mosque, but it still contains the entire first attack and his escape. Tarrant was then arrested and is currently sentencing a life sentence with no possibility of parole.

Halle synagogue shooting

Christchurch inspired many other shooters, as it intended, and fortunately many of them failed, such as Gemany's biggest cuck: Stephen Balliet. On the 9th October 2019, this dumbass tried to use homemade guns with some 3D printed parts to commit a shooting in the synagogue of Halle, Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. As you may expect, it went horribly, as he wasn't able to enter the synagogue and instead he killed a random old lady on the street and a dude in a kebab store. Stephen was livestreaming on Twitch and also released a shitty manifesto which is the type of manifesto an edgy 14 year old would make. Balliet was arrested and is currently serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison.

2022 Buffalo shooting

Yet another shooting livestream inspired by Christchurch, this time by a furstrag neo-nazi who shot up a Top's Friendly Market in Buffalo, New York, which is a primarily black neighborhood; The retard once again released a manifesto called The Way Forward, which is literally a copy and paste of Brenton Tarrant's manifesto. He was able to kill 10 people and injure another 3, while sparing everybody in the store who was white. the event was livestreamed on Twitch, just like Balliet, but the livestream cuts out while he's in the supermarket and unfortunately for us gore fans there is no full version of the attack. (there's also a longer version which just includes him driving for a bit longer, check out this post to watch it https://watchpeopledie.tv/h/shooting/post/22653/buffalo-mass-shooting-full-livestream-video)

Jacksonville Landing shooting

This shooting occured on the 26th August 2018, when David Katz lost at tournament for the title of Madden 7 champion of 2018; Since he won the former championship, he raged from being beaten and pulled out a FUCKING GUN, shooting and killing the player who beat him and another player, all the while injuring 10 other people before committing suicide. The event was livestreamed on Twitch, as that's where the tournament was digitally taking place, but the camera cut out as soon as Katz started shooting, so, you can only hear the audio.

Nakhon Ratchasima shootings

A mass shooting that occured in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, when an ex-soldier called Jakrapanth Thomma went schizo mode and decided to steal a few machine guns from a military camp after killing his own commander, and then continuing the rampage by shooting people on the road and setting fire to mall. While all of this occured, he decided it would be a good idea to post updates on his Facebook account and to also livestream the event: unfortunately the full livestream has been lost but I was able to find a few screenshots from it and also his Facebook update posts. Thomma was shot and killed by the police a few hours later.

2022 Memphis shootings

On the 7th September 2022, a dumb Memphis BIPOC called Ezekiel Kelly went outside of his house and starting a shooting spree in which he killed three people and injured another three, while livestreaming on Facebook. You can't really see shit on the video because the dumbass just livestreamed his face while rambling incomprehensible nonsense. Kelly has been arrested by the police and he is currently being convicted.

Eslöv school attack

Another failed Brenton Tarrant copycat, but this time by an edgy 15 year old Swedish nazi named Hugo Jackson. Being a minor he didn't have access to any firearms, so, instead he used a knife to go in his school in Eslöv, Sweden, and stab a random teacher. He wasn't able to unjure anybody else other than that teacher who survived, and the police was called on him... which he tried to threaten with an airsoft pistol. He was arrested and is facing charges for attempted murder in a juvenile correction camp for 2.5 years. One of my friends has actually had the pleasure displeasure of talking with Hugo, and he has confirmed that he is a huge strag who types like a 2000s scenecore kid and uses ":3" when talking to people; To my knowleadge he also constantly gets bullied in the correction center for being a pussy. Unfortunately for us, the police owns the livestream and hasn't released it completely, but I was able to find a few still frames from the livestream.

edit: Hello! I wanted to add another livestreamed shooting that I missed before, I find this one to be a really good case since it ended pretty quickly.

West Freeway Church of Christ shooting

On the 29th December 2019, a schizoid called Keith Kinnunen entered the West Freeway Church of Christ dressed up as Not Important after playing a bit too much Hatred. He pulled out a shotgun after the ceremony and shot dead 2 people in the church, before being quickly dispatched by 71 year old Jack Wilson, who was volunteering as a security guard. the event was livestreamed on YouTube, since the church regularly livestreamed their ceremonies on their channel. I really just wanted to add this shooting in to praise the defender WIlson for his swift action and good aim under all that pressure. Remember: the only person who can stop a bad guy with a gun... is a good guy with a gun!

Hope you enjoyed all of the info I was able to gather and put together! I would've also added the Louisville bank shooting but there's literally no footage known of that shooting other than the CCTV footage and police bodycam, not even screencaps, sorry! Anyways, that's all for today, see ya!

There isn't much coherence to the order in which the visuals flit by, so it almost feels like loading a folder of your gore-site collection into a video player and just running through them. The makers do try and organize things a little later on, but decide to end with a 35-minute+ autopsy instructional video.

Traces of Death 5 (2000)

Above, you see a part of the last photo of the victim. Her father took it right before she left to celebrate her first New Year's Eve outside home, in a club. In Poland, a moratorium on executions was issued in 1988, and the death penalty was removed from the penal code in 1997. For some people here currently arguing against death penalty in case of wrongful conviction, Tomasz Komenda is a 'poster boy'. [there will be edits]

TL;DR. Story takes place in Lower Silesia (SW Poland). 15 yo Małgorzata Kwiatkowska - I'll later use disminutive - was spending New Year's Eve in the club in the nearby village, with her friend. The next day, 1st of January 1997, parents reported her missing after asking people around; friend didn't know her whereabouts, too. Separately, police received info about an unknown dead girl laying naked on someone's property, near the barn. It was determined that she was raped with a blunt object or e.g. fist - enough to cause internal injuries. There were bite marks on the body. The victim was left alive in the freezing cold (around -16 C, or 3 F), heavily beaten, eventually dying of internal bleeding and, mostly, hypothermia. Police determined that 2 or 3 people participated. Three years later, someone reported that Tomasz Komenda seems like the man on the sketch; police didn't look for that one or two more suspects. Komenda was arrested and charged in April/May 2000, and in 2004 - sentenced for 25 years. He attempted suicide three times, and was harassed both by the other inmates and prison guards. In total, after spending 18 years imprisoned, he was released on parole in March 2018, and acquitted two months later. The gov compensation for the wrongful conviction was the highest ever paid in Poland - 13 million zloty (around €2,9 mln or $3,25 mln). Two men were sentenced in 2021. Apart from the reported DNA tests results, there's either vague or barely any evidence pointing at them. The investigation was messy since the beginning. Many witnesses, of which one is now convicted, were threatened by both the police and unknown people - up to death threats. This isn't really a solved case.

Sections go as follows:

1. Crime scene video and photos. The body is always blurred or covered, in case of the video - it's not perfectly covered, but you won't see any details of the injuries. Descriptions of the injuries are partially released.

2. What happened on New Year's Eve? - with maps and aerial view for comparision. Includes descriptions of the injuries, and of the crime scene (these important for you to imagine how the events could go).

3. How to make a killer on paper. Apart from vague evidence, things not matching in Komenda's testimonies were also overlooked. It doesn't even make sense a made-up story.

4. Old evidence, old witnesses, new suspects. There are two guys convicted for now. Both claim they're innocent, but talk about it in completely different ways. I also included here a description of the impact that wrongful conviction had on Tomasz, including videos from the acquittal.

⠀CRIME SCENE VIDEO AND PHOTOS

Crime scene video is included here without any edits. It was already uploaded with the partially censored body (and the ambient in the background, for these complaining about music in any video). Timestamps:

1;30 - general view for the neighbourhood ends, police officer(s) and one specialist(?) enter the property.

2;10 onwards - cameraman reaches the point, from which the body was visible.

2;35 onwards - Spot 1, a piece of clothing. Filmed from various angles and in close-up.

3;10 - Spot 2, where the body was found. Comment in the backround about the buttons found, and pointing at places where the blouse and (not visible) the cap were found.

3;30 - cameraman is told to record a bloody smudge on the steel bar.

4;10 - I can't hear it well, but probably there's a blouse pointed at Spot 3.

Before 4;30 - camera moves to Spot 5, where a wristwatch was found, and two shoelaces. I can't tell if either of these two is clearly visible, but both were mentioned.

4;45 - now, cameraman is asked to film Spot 5, where are two spots with fresh faeces (it's not stated in the video, but they were victim's one). A bloodstain and a shoelace are mentioned.

5;05 to 5;10 - pointing at the shred of clothing, which the man commenting assumes to be a part of the underwear.

5;30 - finally a good view on the wristwatch.

6;10 - cameraman is asked (and confirms) whether he'd recorded the general view. Officer tells him that he will turn the body now. Most of it is covered, but now you can see some of the injuries on legs.

6;25 to 6;35 - unclear, but there are blood spots mentioned, and that the exact injuries [topic] is left for later. I guess it's about recording them, instead of general view.

6;45 - closeup on legs. The socks will later turn out to be an important detail in one witness' testimony.

7;30 - cameraman stops focusing on things laying on the ground, and the general view for another part of the property (deeper into it) is shown till the end...

...at 8;10. The sound is cut, but in the last part muted here, this guy told the cameraman that there are shreds of a black lace clothing.

It's around 90 MB, if it's not loading for you, try to wait a while or just download to your device!

What you should pay attention to when watching above video, as it will be important later (mostly when describing how the crime scene shows some events' aftermath):

1. The socks, already mentioned.

2. Girl's hair being tangled and messed up (it's not visible here, but some stuff was entangled in them).

3. She is lying on her dress.

4. Barn's wall, not only the steel bar or these crates.

5. How wide apart are her body and the pieces of evidence.

Not all crime scene photos are released, at least few were shown in videos or (rarely) separately.

13th. A spot when the wristwatch was found.

⠀BOŻENA H.

Here, a few black and white photos from the on-site investigation. Click to enlarge. These photos aren't relating to Małgosia, but to Bożena H., who was sexually assaulted in Jelcz-Laskowice (around 3 km from Miłoszyce) on 11th of August 1996 by two men. The first wanna-be rapist was scared by another guy, who pretended to be helpful and wishing to assist her on a way back, but raped her instead. One of them was possibly the same perpetrator that assaulted Małgosia. Tomasz Komenda was wrongfully convicted also for this crime in December 2004, and acquitted a few years later.

1st and 2nd. A scene near the holiday resort in Jelcz-Laskowice. It shows the spot where a red Fiat 126-P was parked, and - in the second photo - where Bożena H. received blow to the head, then was walked to the side road.

3rd and 4th. First - the same scene as in Photo 2, with the concrete slabs visible. Second - close-up of this spot, the name of the street from which the photo was taken isn't visible.

5th and 6th. The same scene like in Photo 4, with the first rape scene marked with circle. Then, around 300 m from this spot, there's a second rape scene (it was a second guy, who played her 'rescuer').

7th and 8th. Here, the woman shows the spot when the red Fiat was parked, and where rape attempt took place.

⠀WHAT HAPPENED ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

First, general map. 1 - Miłoszyce, 2 - Jelcz Laskowice, 3 - Gajków, 4 - Plac Grunwaldzki (tram and bus station in Wrocław, will be important later in this story), 5 - Piekary.

How it looks like on Google Maps (red circles are the entrances):

Property the body was found at is on Kościelna 5 street, and the former 'Alcatraz' club - on Główna 7A street. Here's a sketch of the crime scene, hard to read, though.

Drone view on this household today:

Former Alcatraz club:

Due to the angles, snow and changes over the years, I had problems figuring out what is where in that crime scene video. Also, the sketch of the crime scene is unclear, looks like the barn is drawn as a one building with that right behind it. It's not, you can see it in the video, e.g. around 7;52. You can see there how the other building's wall is aligned, just like in the drone view.

Descriptions of the injuries were often scattered in the sources I've found. One mentioned that the exact description of the injuries spanned over a few pages. I don't know whether it was an overexaggeration. Instead of a wall of text, have the most important parts listed. Keep in mind that it's simplified and the exact medical terms could be different.

1. There are multiple body parts mentioned, on which there were single scratches or abrasions of the epidermis and bruises (ecchymoses?) - either bloody or not. I.e. face, upper arms, chest, pelvic area, lower back, buttocks, legs (without precizing, apart from right thigh, check point 3).

2. Scratches or abrasions in the chest area and on right arm, which pattern looked like a bite marks.

3. On a right thigh, there was a bloody abrasion in a pattern similar to a shoe print. It was specifically described as an assault boot or other heavy ones (like in police or military).

4. Some pubic hair ripped out, leaving bloody spots.

5. Rupture of soft tissues between the vagina and rectum. Its extent (like in cm from the either opening) wasn't mentioned. It caused a severe internal bleeding.

6. Extensive bloody bruisings (ecchymoses) and a rupture of the vaginal mucous membrane. Also, a bruisings of the mucous membrane and wall of the rectum, and a rupture of a rectal mucous membrane.

7. Injuries were inflicted with a blunt or blunt-edged objects, including ones in the genital area. It could include fingers or a hand (fist).

8. The victim could have been dragged across the ground, possibly it's when the clothes and shoes were taken off.

9. Samples were taken from the oral cavity, vagina, and rectum. No samples were taken from under the nails, even though there were clearly signs of struggle, and the victim was probably trying to fight back or defend herself.

Few remarks on the crime scene.

1. On the victim's face, chest and arms, there were a greyish, earthy stains, and on her cheek and mouth - dried smudge (color not mentioned).

2. In her hair, there were entangled 'large quantities of' dried plant stalks, sticks, pieces of bark, and a single feathers (probably from the poultry), and pieces of the silver chain.

3. Black tights were 1,5 m from the body, and partially torn blouse - 2,5 m from the body.

4. On the back of the barn, around 2,5 m from the back corner, there was an oblong spot on the ground with thinner snow layer, in which were traces of grass / soil substrate and bloody stains.

5. Around 1 m from the spot mentioned above, closer to the barn, there were faeces. Close to them, a Q&Q analog watch was found, and a shoelace next to it.

6. Two empty vodka bottles and a black lace hanky were found 'close to the crime scene'.

7. 1,2 to 1,5 m up on the barn's wall, close to where body was found, hair were found stuck on planks and between them.

8. Close to the hair found on the barn's wall, there were smudges containing pieces of soil, sand, straw, grass and hair fragments.

9. Victim's shoes and silver jewelry wasn't found both on the crime scene and on neighbouring properties (including houses and the maintenance rooms).

Józef R. was confused about the body found (below is a photo of the exact spot). He claimed that someone who left it there must have been local, as a stranger wouldn't know about this shortcut. A classic 'but...' - but he was living here since a child, and thought that no criminals or rapists able to do this were living in the area.

It's not clear for how long Małgosia was dying, and the given values are contradicting. I assume it's expected when they're based on different exams. The widest span mentioned was 1 to 8 hours. However, another source states that the victim could have been saved if medical intervention took place up to 2 or 3 hours after she was left alone. According to the expert witness, the perpetrators were either motivated by sadistic tendencies, or by their sexual incapability. The latter scenario was more common, and, quoting: 'a brutal treatment of the assaulted woman, including the possibility of taking her life, can be - and quote often is - caused by the temporary sexual incapability, usually being a result of the alcohol influence and a stress caused by the given situation'. I haven't seen a mention of how the roles could look like, considering there were at least 2 or 3 assailants.

⠀JUST A WALL OF TEXT ABOUT SOME TESTIMONIES...

The description of the injuries is far easier to write than how Małgosia even left the club, according to the witnesses. Two of them, Krzysztof K. and Andrzej W. (whose credibility is vague) claimed that she was walked out by Irek, who told them he's her brother. She didn't have a brother. It's unclear whether it was 100% the same Irek as later convicted Ireneusz M., assuming it did happen. The other witnesses point out that it was Krzysztof K. who left with her... And you will see later he is both important and not fully reliable witness. Around 0;20 AM, friends of Małgosia (not precized how many of them) had seen her last time. Reportedly, at this time, she was already spending time with Krzysztof K., a local guy, whom she met in the club first time. They'd left outside 3 or 4 times, as Małgosia was feeling nauseous and started vomiting. Iwona, a 'main' friend coming with her, noticed that Małgosia disappeared around 1;00 AM, and started to look for her. Nobody knew where she is, and Iwona left the club after taking the girl's coat from the cloakroom. She was last time seen between 1;00 AM and 1;20 AM, leaving the club without the overcoat, only wearing dress. Reportedly, that's when Krzysztof K. left with her - he claims it was some Irek, claiming to be Małgosia's brother. These two moved towards the building's corner, on the Główna street side. According to Krzysztof K. himself, it was an hour earlier than the others had stated.

Krzysztof K. was arrested three days after the murder. He was considered a suspect, and his testimonies were - putting it shortly - both weirdly accurate (like he had seen the crime himself) and variable. He was beaten on a police station, too. At first, Krzysztof K. admitted to walking Małgosia out from the club, then entering the R. family property with her, undressing the girl and assaulting her. In the meanwhile, she was resisting, calling her mum and screaming to leave her alone; after all, Krzysztof K. reportedly moved her to another spot near the barn. His sketch of the crime scene was weirdly accurate. Then, he changed testimonies to the scenario with some Irek walking her out. And changed them again later. There was reportedly no evidence on-spot, including the DNA tests results (the old ones, though) excluding him. After one of the questionings, he ended up in hospital with brain concussion. The main prosecutor, same one responsible for the murder investigation, refused to start the investigation on the authority abuse. A police officer had just hit 16 yo Krzysztof K. on the back of the head 'in the heat of the moment', and the harm to society wasn't great enough to care.

Another photo than in the thumbnail, to break this wall of text

Around 1;35 AM (sometimes an earlier time is given), one of the R. family's neighbours' daughters heard girl screaming Mum, mum! (assumed by the prosecution to be Małgosia). It was Agnieszka N., the same daughter, who after midnight left for a while with her boyfriend. They drove to Jelcz-Laskowice, to visit friends and wish them a happy New Year. Shortly after their departure, her sister Krystyna N. had seen two guys, between whom was walking a girl around 16-17 yo, weirdly lightly clothed as for the freezing cold. She specifically mentioned that these were two men and a girl looking down. Krystyna N. had in general given weirdly detailed description. Agnieszka N., who was in the car (so much closer to these group), claimed that she wasn't even sure how many people were there, and couldn't tell their gender. This group was walking along the Ogrodowa street. According to Krystyna N., looking through the window 7 to 10 m from these people, one guy was about the girl's height. The second one was slightly taller and had a bowl cut. Andrzej W. claimed that the man picking Małgosia up as 'her brother' had a bowl cut. I will spare you more details, just know that Andrzej W. claimed it was before midnight (so when people were either watching the fireworks or rushing home to do so) - contrary to the other witnesses - and his testimonies were in general inconsistent. And why was the haircut important, apart from connecting the non-existent brother with one of the guys walking the girl along the Ogrodowa street? Neither of these guys was wearing a cap. On a crime scene, there was a black cap found. If these were the future perpetrators walking with the girl, then - considering it was around -16 C or 3 F outside - it would be odd for them to not wear a cap, if they had one.

Apart from Agnieszka N., there was also unprecized P., who had heard some girl calling for help. Time wasn't given exactly, and the distance from his home to the R. family's property was around 100 m. P. thought that it must had been Józef R. beating at least one daughter, so didn't react. Apart from the N. family, there was also C. family living right next to the property where the murder took place. Surprisingly, no one from this family heard any screams or other sounds of struggle.

⠀HOW TO MAKE A KILLER ON PAPER

Tomasz Komenda was born in July 1976. He had a poor health, due to being born prematurely. According to the mother, Teresa Klemańska, it was because of the physical abuse by her ex-husband, Jerzy, whom he left when pregnant. Father-in-law, Mirosław, is described as a man raising Tomasz like his own son. Tomasz has finished special school, receiving primary education. He was working at the car wash, enjoying and often getting tips. There are three brothers: youngest Krzysztof, then Piotr (6 yo when Tomasz was imprisoned) and Gerard (the oldest one).

⠀POLICE SKETCH

In 1999, the authorities were contacted by Dorota P., who claimed that she recognizes the man from the police sketch. There are few versions - some say media, some say newspaper, and other mention that she saw it in Magazyn Kryminalny 997 and contacted the police few days later. This couldn't happen, MK 997 never described this case. I spent a while searching for this episode, which was reportedly aired when she was throwing a party because of her name day. There are four dates to choose from, from the early February to the early September. None of the episodes matching them mention Komenda. Later, I've found out in one source that Dorota indeed made up this story. TV series mentioning this case was Telewizyjne Biuro Śledcze (episode 30, from 1998), there were no graphic details, too. According to Komenda's mother, Dorota P. once threatened her with 'doing something that would make her cry, so she remembers'. She was often leaving her son to babysit, and Komenda's mother complained it's too often. Even though Dorota P. claimed she knew Tomasz, that he had a girlfriend named Małgosia of the similar age (and also living in Jelcz-Laskowice), and that he was sometimes aggressive, she couldn't really know him well. They could at last see each other on the staircase, as Dorota P. was a neighbour of Komenda's grandmother. She claimed years later that she has 'only' pointed at him, and the man from police sketch could be as well his brother or father-in-law. Miłoszyce residents were questioned, but none of them recognized either of these three men - contrary to what Dorota P. said. She suddenly died in June 2018 and didn't manage to testify in a case regarding authority abuse.

Tomasz Komenda was questioned first time on 16th of November 1999, when the police search was conducted in his home, starting from 7;15 AM. On 18th of April 2000, he was already questioned as a suspect - this is sometimes incorrectly mentioned as the first hearing. When Komenda was questioned, he didn't even know there's a town called Jelcz-Laskowice. He admitted to having an intercourse with some randomly met girl, in a wood patch near the club - but there was no wood patch. Few people, including his mother and one woman not called for a witness, claimed that he spent New Year's Eve 1996/1997 in the family home.

So, to sum up what didn't match in Komenda's testimonies (on various times):

1. Consensual intercourse in a non-existent woodpatch,

2. Visiting a town that he didn't know existed.

3. Taking a bus from Plac Grunwaldzki (go back to the cities map) to Gajków on New Year's Eve 1996/1997, when no buses were going on this route.

4. Timeline that would require time travel. It was impossible for Tomasz to leave home around 2 AM and be back between 6;00 and 6;30 AM, if things went as described (next paragraph).

5. He 'did' that all in Miłoszyce, while 12 witnesses provided him alibi for that night, which he spent in Wrocław. Somehow they were not convincing. The only guest that saw Komenda home back then and didn't drink alcohol wasn't called as a witness.

6. He was also sentenced to 4 years for raping Bożena (go back to the first section). He didn't recognize her, and the second rapist (playing her 'rescuer') didn't recognize Tomasz as the first assailant.

About the timeline. In 'his' testimonies, Tomasz 'claimed' he left home around 2 AM, took the bus to Gajków (to visit his friend, Tomasz S.), and arrived around 3 AM. Then this friend told Komenda about a New Year's Eve party in the club in Miłoszyce, and they two walked there for around 30 mins. Here's why this timeline's impossible - it's around 8 km (5 mil) in straight line, and 10-12 km in a walking distance. Two guys finishing 10K in 30 mins - during a winter night and while being drunk - would for sure put them among the elite runners. Around 30 mins (or few mins less, depends on the criteira) are the current world records for 10K. According to the 'official' timeline, Tomasz S. had spent half an hour in the club, and left Tomasz Komenda alone. That would mean he left at unknown time, but after 4;00 AM. Then, Komena would meet some 'Kasia', accompany her till the club closing - it closed around 4;30 AM - and have an intercourse outside on the ground, in a non-existent woodpatch. Then, he 'walked' back to Gajków, and travelled back to Wrocław by the bus, arriving between 6 AM and 6;30 AM.

Why did he change initial testimonies to the above story?

In the record of evidence from 16th of November 1999, I didn't describe the above-mentioned circumstances [as a witness], because I was afraid of the police. I can't explain this, I am simply afraid of the police.

And:

Later, Tomasz Komenda withdrew his testimonies and claimed, that he was never in Miłoszyce and didn't know any Małgorzata K. He claimed that he was forced to say so by [the cops] beating him. He had been mentioning this beatings multiple times, even saying in front of the cameras in 2006, that he was beaten so heavily, that he would even confess to murdering a Pope, if it would make them stop.

It wasn't mentioned in the quoted testimonies, but in the second book mentioned in the sources at the end, the author claims that 'staying till the end' (in the club) meant staying till the 6 AM, maybe 7 AM. I don't know why it's stated so. I think that the author could assume, that by 'staying till the end' Komenda meant 'stayed till the morning'. In the common sense, indeed, winter mornings are rather around 6 or 7 AM, not precizely 4;30 AM, and partying till the morning would mean club closed around given hours.

Not only does this timeline make no sense (and these testimonies, obtained under duress), but also joining them with the testimonies of Tomasz S. Who, by the way, wasn't Komenda's friend, but his employer. He claimed that he didn't meet Komenda that day. Nobody looked for this Kasia, apparently assuming, that the unknown Katarzyna - having a consensual intercourse with one man - must have been Małgorzata - assaulted and left for death by 2 or 3 men. I will skip the rest of the testimonies, sometimes making it better, sometimes worse for Komenda, as together with the screwed up investigation, that's actually a topic for a whole book.

It's also worth mentioning that the Krzysztof K. mentioned some time ago was considered by the specialists to not be a reliable witness, due to the mental state he was in. Authorities didn't have a similar problem with Tomasz Komenda, who had finished special school and has a mild degree of intellectual disability. Both guys were beaten by the cops, too, and in both cases it officially didn't happen. Last part of this section is the other evidence

1. DNA was extracted from the hair, stuck inside a black woolen cap found on the crime scene (for reference, Komenda's blood was used). Polymarker tests were conducted. They focus on specific DNA sequences (markers), which are long and poorly differentiated. Even back then, it wasn't a modern method. It shouldn't be used both when analyzing a sample from hair and when it's not sure whether the evidence comes from one person or more. It was analyzed in Wrocław. Three years later, it suddenly turned out that in Jelcz-Laskowice police station, there were more hair kept as an evidence, but sent to Bydgoszcz (not Wrocław) for analyzis. This time, it was mtDNA analyzis, which was pointless, and could only check whether the victim's and witnesses' or suspects' had the same mother. It was pointless, especially considering that this evidence was destroyed, so couldn't be use later for more meaningful testing.

2. Osmological expertise, using the scent samples obtained from the mentioned woolen cap, checked by two dogs in March 2000. This wasn't recorded, even though videotaping such exams was reportedly already a common practice back then. The method used for sampling wasn't strictly matching the police guidelines. The dog handler was reportedly licensed, but not an expert. It's also unknown in what conditions the cap and samples were kept. Jars containing the scent-soaked swabs were also opened and closed again 'multiple times'.

3. Bite marks. Shortly saying, the pattern could match Tomasz Komenda or someone else. The latter scenario was overlooked. Among the 'someone else' was also Marcin Ł., a son of local businessman, who was 'unofficially' mentioned by a few witnesses (including the incognito witness), and he will be mentioned in the next section again. Back then, it was excluded that the pattern could belong to Ireneusz M., who is currently convicted for this murder. Why it's not excluding him now, it's not known.

The charges differed from what Tomasz Komenda was sentenced to 15 years for, and what was he lated sentenced to 25 years for. They also differ from what he was told he will be tried for. Have Wikipedia quote first (article about Polish Penal Code):

Three different types of homicide are foreseen by articles 148, 149 and 150 of the Code. Article 148 Sec. 1 describes the penalty for the basic type of the crime. It is penalized by no less than 8 years of imprisonment, 25 years' imprisonment or life imprisonment. Sections 2 and 3 introduce a more strict sentencing in cases of particular cruelty, using firearms or explosives, taking hostages, raping, robbery, multiple victims or relapse. In these cases the minimal imprisonment period rises to 12 years.

Tomasz Komenda was at first for rape with exceptional cruelty and for battery resulting in death. I'm not sure if anything similar exists in US or UK laws. Either battery or aggravated battery applies to the situations where there was no intent to kill or death (AFAIK, please correct in the comments if this is bullshit). In Poland, there's pobicie ze skutkiem śmiertelnym, which is a different crime than homicide (falls under Article 158 - battery).

In October 2001, Tomasz Komenda was told he will be tried for Article 197, Sec.1. In November 2003, he was sentenced in relation to Article 197, Sec. 2. Reportedly, he was told that the exact qualification of his crime may be changed, but no more details. Apart from homicide, he was sentenced for rape - Article 197, Sec. 3, not precized further, but it'd be Sec. 3, Point 1 (together with another person - which, like you already know, police didn't look for). Małgosia was exactly 15 years and (nearly) 2 months old when she died. In Poland, the age of consent is 15 yo, so technically this rape didn't qualify as raping a child (or: minor under 15 yo). In June 2004, the sentence was raised to 25 years.

⠀OLD EVIDENCE, OLD SURNAMES, NEW SUSPECTS

Currently, two people are serving time for the rape and homicide - mainly the latter, as rape has already fallen under the statute of limitations. I guess you won't be surprised. It could have been one that walked Małgosia out the club. It's not 100% clear whether it was the same Irek, though - only two witnesses claimed so. The second one convicted for now was a club guard and a barman that night. Both the police and prosecution assume there was a third perpetrator, but no arrests were made as for now.

Ireneusz Matuszak (becoming a suspect in June 2017, charges brought in December 2018) was, at the time of the arrest, already serving time for a sexual assault. He was convicted over time for 5 rapes on three different women. They're described as women 'he was providing for' (in what way - not specified) and they've been having consensual intercourses, too. He told one of the journalist he didn't do it and why he even knows about the charges (reply: because of getting access to the case files). About the murder in Miłoszyce, same. He didn't allow the media to show his face and release the full name. The detail pointing at him was his mention of the socks Małgosia was wearing. According to the prosecution, if she was wearing black tights over the socks, someone who didn't undress her shouldn't notice them. The ultimate proof is claimed to be the DNA test results. Some testimonies may point at him. But if all the witnesses were telling the truth, then their testimonies can't form a meaningful story.

Norbert Basiura was, at the time of the arrest, living a typical life. He has a wife, who believes in his innocence, one child, and was working as a firefighter. His attitude is the opposite of the first convict. Both claim they're innocent, but Norbert allowed for the media to both show face and use full name, and was very talkative and open. According to some - suspiciously open. Videos you can find online include him testifying, interviews, scenes with his wife, even driving with one news reporter across Miłoszyce and looking for the right household. Norbert claimed he had no idea which house this was, exactly, just roughly knowing its location. He was sober during that New Year's Eve, unlike Ireneusz. In 1997, when still considered a witness, Norbert was threatened by both the police and some undefined people. He told Małgosia's father about it, and (no date was given) mentioned him three men as important in this case. One of them was Marcin Ł., a son of local businessman, who was reportedly also thought to be involved by a few others Miłoszyce residents.

Initially, they were both sentenced to 25 years. For Norbert Basiura, it was changed to 15 years. Reportedly, the sperm samples were found on the victim's clothing, coming from both of the current convicts. Blood samples from both of them were also found. At least that's what DNA tests results say. In case of Norbert Basiura, the evidence is described as 'extremely strong', and in case of Ireneusz Matuszak, 'very strong' (strong as 'convincing').

⠀THE ACQUITTAL

Tomasz Komenda was let out on parole on 15th of March 2018, and acquitted on 16th of May 2018. Right in the beginning, you can see the reactions to declaring him innocent:

Another angle:

Here is a fragment on how Tomasz was transported, at the time when it was already known that the 'second suspect' was arrested (while Tomasz formally was still the first one).

[...] When [he was] driving into Wrocław, he couldn't recognize his city. When the prison cell doors closed behind him, there were no shopping malls, which now [car] was passing one by one. The monumental Sky Tower was also a novelty. Before he was jailed, skyscrapers didn't extend 100 m of height, even in Warsaw, and this one reached above 200 m. Every few kilometers, there was a petrol station. He only remembered CPN, but its logo was replaced by new names long ago. Pendolino going through the train overpass was nearly jaw-dropping. Tomasz had only seen such vehicles in sci-fi movies, when he was a free man. And the mobile phone, from which on regular speaker said: "Turn right 150 m ahead, then keep going straight. You've reached your destination". Tomek didn't know what was going on around, even though his mother and brothers were telling him that the world has been changing much. He has only seen innovations in TV. The old PlayStation 3 and FIFA, which he was playing in the evenings outside the prison cell, was all his modern technology.

Explanations: CPN, Centrala Produktów Naftowych, was a company operating between 1945 and 1999. SkyTower's height is 212 m in total. For Tomasz, it was one of the favorite spots in 'new' Wrocław, apart from the terraced housing around the main square, all renovated.

Anatoly Slivko was a Soviet serial killer, sexual predator, and necrophile. He was convicted of killing seven teenage boys in and around Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai, Russian SFSR, between 1964 and 1985. Over a two decade-long period, Slivko molested young boys at his youth club after tricking them into unconsciousness, killing some of them in an attempt to recreate the violent death of a teenage boy he had witnessed in 1961, which had sexually aroused him. He also sickly video taped some of his killings. In 1985 Slivko was caught and sentenced to death by firing squad. Slivko was executed by a firing squad on September 16th of 1989 at the age of 50.

Disturbing interview with O.J. Simpson

This is a really weird interview where Simpson is being interviewed as if its a "hypothetical situation"

Case overview

Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman are brutally stabbed to death outside Nicole's home in Brentwood, California, in what quickly becomes one of the most highly publicized trials of the century. With overwhelming evidence against him, including a prior record of domestic violence towards Brown, O.J. Simpson became the chief suspect.

Although he had agreed to turn himself in, Simpson escaped with friend A.C. Cowlings in his white Ford Bronco on June 17. He was carrying his passport, a disguise, and $8,750 in cash. Simpson's car was spotted that afternoon, but he refused to surrender immediately. Threatening to kill himself, he led police in a low-speed chase through the freeways of Los Angeles as the entire nation watched on television. Eventually, Simpson gave himself up at his home in Brentwood.

The evidence against Simpson was extensive: His blood was found at the murder scene; blood, hair, and fibers from Brown and Goldman were found in Simpson's car and at his home; one of his gloves was also found in Brown's home, the other outside his own house; and bloody shoeprints found at the scene matched those of shoes owned by Simpson.

However, Simpson's so-called “Dream Team” of defense lawyers, including Robert Shapiro, Johnnie Cochran, F. Lee Bailey, and Robert Kardashian claimed before a national television audience that Simpson had been framed by racist police officers such as Detective Mark Fuhrman. After deliberating for three hours, the jury acquitted Simpson. He vowed to find the “real killers,” but has yet to turn up any new leads.

In a civil trial brought about by the families of the victims, Simpson was found responsible for causing Goldman's death and committing battery against Brown in February 1997, and was ordered to pay a total of $33.5 million, little of which he has paid.

In 2007, Simpson ran into legal problems once again when he was arrested for breaking into a Las Vegas hotel room and taking sports memorabilia, which he claimed had been stolen from him, at gunpoint. On October 3, 2008, he was found guilty of 12 charges related to the incident, including armed robbery and kidnapping, and sentenced to 33 years in prison. He was released on October 1, 2017.

O.J. Simpson left a suicide letter at the home of his friend Robert Kardashian before he fled in the white Bronco.

on a side note: Robert Kardashian read the letter he found on live t.v. this was the start of the Kardashian family fame..

so we can also blame O.J. for that.

O.J.'s "Suicide Letter"

[Letter discovered on June 17, 1994, shortly before Simpson's televised Bronco ride and arrest.]

To whom it may concern: First, everyone understand I have nothing to do with Nicole's murder. I loved her, always have and always will. If we had a problem, it's because I loved her so much.

Recently, we came to the understanding that for now we were not right for each other, at least for now. Despite our love we were different, and that's why we mutually agreed to go our separate ways. It was tough splitting for a second time, but we both knew it was for the best.

Inside I had no doubt that in the future, we would be close as friends or more. Unlike what has been written in the press, Nicole and I had a great relationship for most of our lives together, Like all long-term relationships, we had a few downs and ups. I took the heat New Year's 1989 because that's what I was supposed to do. I did not plead no contest for any other reason but to protect our privacy and was advised it would end the press hype.

I don't want to belabor knocking the press, but I can't believe what is being said. Most of it is totally made up. I know you have a job to do, but as a last wish, please, please, please, leave my children in peace. Their lives will be tough enough.

I want to send my love and thanks to all my friends. I'm sorry I can't name every one of you, especially A.C. man, thanks for being in my life. The support and friendship I received from so many: Wayne Hughes, Lewis Markes, Frank Olson, Mark Packer, Bender, Bobby Kardashian.

I wish we had spent more time together in recent years. My golfing buddies, Hoss, Alan Austin, Mike, Craig, Bender, Wyler, Sandy, Jay, Donnie, thanks for the fun. All my teammates over the years, Reggie, you were the soul of my pro career. Ahmad, I never stopped being proud of you. Marcus, You've got a great lady in Catherine, don't mess it up. Bobby Chandler, thanks for always being there. Skip and Kathy, I love you guys, without you I never would have made it through this far. Marguerite, thanks for the early years. We had some fun. Paula, what can I say? You are special. I'm sorry we're not going to have our chance. God brought you to me I now see. As I leave, you'll be in my thoughts.

I think of my life and feel I've done most of the right things. What the outcome, people will look and point. I can't take that. I can't subject my children to that. This way they can move on and go on with their lives. Please, if I've done anything worthwhile in my life. Let my kids live in peace from you (press).

I've had a good life. I'm proud of how I lived. My mama taught me to do unto other. I treated people the way I wanted to be treated. I've always tried to be up and helpful so why is this happening? I'm sorry for the Goldman family. I know how much it hurts.

Nicole and I had a good life together. All this press talk about a rocky relationship was no more than what every long-term relationship experiences. All her friends will confirm that I have been totally loving and understanding of what she's been going through. At times I have felt like a battered husband or boyfriend but I loved her, make that clear to everyone. And I would take whatever it took to make it work.

Don't feel sorry for me. I've had a great life, great friends. Please think of the real O.J. and not this lost person.

Thanks for making my life special. I hope I helped yours.

Peace and love, O.J. [smiley face inside the O]

Letter written by Nicole Brown Simpson to O.J.

O.J. --

I think I have to put this all in a letter. Alot of years ago I used to do much better in a letter, I'm gonna try it again now.

I'd like you to keep this letter if we split, so that you'll always know why we split. I'd also like you to keep it if we stay together, as a reminder.

Right now I am so angry! If I didn't know that the courts would take Sydney & Justin away from me if I did this I would (expletive) every guy including some that you know just to let you know how it feels.

I wish someone could explain all this to me. I see our marriage as a huge mistake & you don't.

I knew what went on in our relationship before we got married. I knew after 6 years that all the things I thought were going on -- were! All the things I gave in to -- all the "I'm sorry for thinking that" "I'm sorry for not believing you" -- "I'm sorry for not trusting you."

I made up with you all the time & even took the blame many times for your cheating. I know this took place because we fought about it alot & even discussed it before we got married with my family & a minister.

OK before the marriage I lived with it & dealt with (illegible) mainly because you finally said that we weren't married at the time.

I assumed that your recurring nasty attitude & mean streak was to cover up your cheating & a general disrespect for women & a lack of manners!

I remember a long time ago a girlfriend of yours wrote you a letter -- she said well you aren't married yet so let's get together. Even she had the same idea of marriage as me. She believed that when you marry you wouldn't be going out anymore -- adultery is a very important thing to many people.

It's one of the 1st 10 things I learned at Sunday school. You said it (illegible) some things you learn at school stick! And the 10 Comandments did!

I wanted to be a wonderful wife!

I believed you that it would finally be "you & me against the world" -- that people would be envious or in awe of us because we stuck through it & finally became one a real couple.

I let my guard down -- I thought it was finally gonna be you & me -- you wanted a baby (so you said) & I wanted a baby -- then with each pound you were terrible. You gave me dirty looks looks of disgust -- said mean things to me at times about my appearance walked out on me & lied to me.

I remember one day my mom said "he actually thinks you can have a baby & not get fat."

I gained 10 to 15 lbs more that I should have with Sydney. Well that's by the book -- Most women gain twice that. It's not like it was that much -- but you made me feel so ugly! I've battled 10 lbs up & down the scale since I was 15 -- It was no more X-tra weight than was normal for me to be up -- I believe my mom -- you thought a baby weighs 7 lbs & the woman should gain 7 lbs. I'd like to finally tell you that that's not the way it is -- And had you read those books I got you on pregnancy you may have known that.

Talk about feeling alone ....

In between Sydney & justin you say my clothes bothered you -- that my shoes were on the floor that I bugged you -- Wow that's so terrible! Try I had a low self esteem because since we got married I felt like the paragraph above.

There was also that time before Justin & after few months Sydney, I felt really good about how I got back into shape and we made out. You beat the holy hell out of me & we lied at the X-ray lab & said I fell off a bike ... Remember!??

Great for my self esteem.

There are a number of other instances that I could talk about that made my marriage so wonderful ... like the televised Clipper game & going to (illegible) before the game & your 40th birthday party & the week leading up to it. But I don't like talking about the past It depressed me.

Then came the pregnancy with Justin & oh how wonderful you treated me again -- I remember swearing to God & myself that under no circumstances would I let you be in that delivery room.

I hated you so much.

And since Justin birth & the mad New Years Eve beat up.

I just don't see how our stories compare -- I was so bad because I wore sweats & left shoes around & didn't keep a perfect house or comb my hair the way you liked it -- or had dinner ready at the precise moment you walked through the door or that I just plain got on your nerves sometimes.

I just don't see how that compares to infidelity, wife beating verbal abuse --

I just don't think everybody goes through this --

And if I wanted to hurt you or had it in me to be anything like the person you are -- I would have done so after the (illegible) incident. But I didn't even do it then. I called the cops to save my life whether you believe it or not. But I didn't pursue anything after that -- I didn't prosecute, I didn't call the press & I didn't make a big charade out of it. I waited for it to die down and asked for it to. But I've never loved you since or been the same.

It made me take a look at my life with you -- my wonderful life with the superstar that wonderful man, O.J. Simpson the father of my kids -- that husband of that terribly insecure (illegible) -- the girl with no self esteem (illegible) of worth -- she must be (illegible) those things to with a guy like that.

It certainly doesn't take a strong person to be with a guy like that and certainly no one would be envious of that life.

I agree after we married things changed -- we couldn't have house fulls of people like I used to have over & barbque for, because I had other responsabilities. I didn't want to go to alot of events & I'd back down at the last minute on fuctions & trips I admit I'm sorry --

I just believe that a relationship is based on trust -- and the last time I trusted you was at our wedding ceremony. it's just so hard for me to trust you again. Even though you say you're a different guy. That O.J. Simpson guy brought me alot of pain heatache -- I tried so hard with him -- I wanted so to be a good wife. But he never gave me a chance.

Transcript of O.J. Simpson's interrogation by LAPD

This interrogation was conducted by Philip Vannatter and Thomas Lange, the Los Angeles Police Department's chief investigators of the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Vannatter: ...my partner, Detective Lange, and we're in an interview room in Parker Center. The date is June 13th, 1994, and the time is 13:35 hours. And we're here with O.J. Simpson. Is that Orenthal James Simpson?

Simpson: Orenthal James Simpson

Vannatter: And what is your birthdate, Mr. Simpson?

Simpson: July 9th, 1947.

Vannatter: OK. Prior to us talking to you, as we agreed with your attorney, I'm going to give you your constitutional rights. An I would like you to listen carefully. If you don't understand anything, tell me, OK?

Simpson: All right

Vannatter: OK. Mr. Simpson, you have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney and to have an attorney present during the questioning. If you so desire and cannot afford one, an attorney will be appointed for you without charge before questioning. Do you understand your rights?

Simpson: Yes, I do.

Vannatter: Are there any questions about that?

Simpson: (unintelligible)

Vannatter: OK, you've got to speak up louder than that...

Simpson: OK, no.

Vannatter: OK, do you wish to give up your right to remain silent and talk to us?

Simpson: Ah, yes.

Vannatter: OK, and you give up your right to have an attorney present while we talk?

Simpson: Mmm hmm. Yes.

Vannatter: OK. All right, what we're gonna do is, we want to...We're investigating, obviously, the death of your ex-wife and another man.

Lange: Someone told us that.

Vannatter: Yeah, and we're going to need to talk to you about that. Are you divorced from her now?

Simpson: Yes.

Vannatter: How long have you been divorced?

Simpson: Officially? Probably close to two years, but we've been apart for a little over two years.

Vannatter: Have you?

Simpson: Yeah.

Vannatter: What was your relationship with her? What was the...

Simpson: Well, we tried to get back together, and it just didn't work. It wasn't working, and so we were going our separate ways.

Vannatter: Recently you tried to get back together?

Simpson: We tried to get back together for about a year, you know, where we started dating each other and seeing each other. She came back and wanted us to get back together, and...

Vannatter: Within the last year, you're talking about?

Simpson: She came back about a year and four months ago about us trying to get back together, and we gave it a shot. We gave it a shot the better part of a year. And I think we both knew it wasn't working, and probably three weeks ago or so, we said it just wasn't working, and we went our separate ways.

Vannatter: OK, the two children are yours?

Simpson: Yes.

Lange: She have custody?

Simpson: We have joint custody.

Lange: Through the courts?

Simpson: We went through the courts and everything. Everything is done. We have no problems with the kids, we do everything together, you know, with the kids.

Vannatter: How was your separation? What that a...?

Simpson: The first separation?

Vannatter: Yeah, was there problems with that?

Simpson: For me, it was big problems. I loved her, I didn't want us to separate.

Vannatter: Uh huh. I understand she had made a couple of crime...crime reports or something?

Simpson: Ah, we have a big fight about six years ago on New Year's, you know, she made a report. I didn't make a report. And then we had an altercation about a year ago maybe. It wasn't a physical argument. I kicked her door or something.

Vannatter: And she made a police report on those two occasions?

Simpson: Mmm hmm. And I stayed right there until the police came, talked to them.

Lange: Were you arrested at one time for something?

Simpson: No. I mean, five years ago we had a big fight, six years ago. I don't know. I know I ended up doing community service.

Vannatter: So you weren't arrested?

Simpson: No, I was never really arrested.

Lange: They never booked you or...

Simpson: No.

Vannatter: Can I ask you, when's the last time you've slept?

Simpson: I got a couple of hours sleep last night. I mean, you know, I slept a little on the plane, not much, and when I got to the hotel I was asleep a few hours when the phone call came.

Lange: Did Nicole have a housemaid that lived there?

Simpson: I believe so, yes.

Lange: Do you know her name at all?

Simpson: Evia, Elvia, something like that.

Vannatter: We didn't see her there. Did she have the day off perhaps?

Simpson: I don't know. I don't know what schedule she's on.

Lange: Phil, what do you think? We can maybe just recount last night...

Vannatter: Yeah. When was the last time you saw Nicole?

Simpson: We were leaving a dance recital. She took off and I was talking to her parents.

Vannatter: Where was the dance recital?

Simpson: Paul Revere High School.

Vannatter: And was that for one of your children?

Simpson: Yeah, for my daughter Sydney.

Vannatter: And what time was that yesterday?

Simpson: It ended about 6:30, quarter to seven, something like that, you know, in the ballpark, right in that area. And they took off.

Vannatter: They?

Simpson: Her and her family -- her mother and father, sisters, my kids, you know.

Vannatter: And then you went your own separate way?

Simpson: Yeah, actually she left, and then they came back and her mother got in a car with her, and the kids all piled into her sister's car, and they...

Vannatter: Was Nicole driving?

Simpson: Yeah.

Vannatter: What kind of car was she driving?

Simpson: Her black car, a Cherokee, a Jeep Cherokee.

Vannatter: What were you driving?

Simpson: My Rolls-Royce, my Bentley.

Vannatter: Do you own that Ford Bronco that sits outside?

Simpson: Hertz owns it, and Hertz lets me use it.

Vannatter: So that's your vehicle, the one that was parked there on the street?

Simpson: Mmm hmm.

Vannatter: And it's actually owned by Hertz?

Simpson: Hertz, yeah.

Vannatter: Who's the primary driver on that? You?

Simpson: I drive it, the housekeeper drives it, you know, it's kind of a...

Vannatter: All-purpose type vehicle?

Simpson: All-purpose, yeah. It's the only one that my insurance will allow me to let anyone else drive.

Vannatter: OK

Lange: When you drive it, where do you park it at home? Where it is now, it was in the street or something?

Simpson: I always park it on the street.

Lange: You never take it in the...

Simpson: Oh, rarely. I mean, I'll bring it in -- and switch the stuff, you know, and stuff like that. I did that yesterday, you know.

Lange: When did you last drive it?

Simpson: Yesterday

Vannatter: What time yesterday?

Simpson: In the morning, in the afternoon.

Vannatter: OK, you left her, you're saying, about 6:30 or 7, or she left the recital?

Simpson: Yeah.

Vannatter: And you spoke with her parents?

Simpson: Yeah, we were just sitting there talking.

Vannatter: OK, what time did you leave the recital?

Simpson: Right about that time. We were all leaving. We were all leaving then. Her mother said something about me joining them for dinner, and I said no thanks.

Vannatter: Where did you go from there, OJ?

Simpson: Ah, home, home for a while, got my car for a while, tried to find my girlfriend for a while, came back to the house.

Vannatter: Who was home when you got home?

Simpson: Kato.

Vannatter: Kato? Anybody else? Was your daughter there, Arnelle?

Simpson: No.

Vannatter: Isn't that her name, Arnelle?

Simpson: Arnelle, yeah.

Vannatter: So what time do you think you got back home, actually physically got home?

Simpson: Seven-something.

Vannatter: Seven-something? And then you left, and...

Simpson: Yeah, I'm trying to think, did I leave? You know, I'm always ...I had to run and get my daughter some flowers. I was actually doing the recital, so I rushed and got her some flowers, and I came home, and then I called Paula as I was going to her house, and Paula wasn't home.

Vannatter: Paula is your girlfriend?

Simpson: Girlfriend, yeah.

Vannatter: Paula who?

Simpson: Barbieri.

Vannatter: Could you spell that for me?

Simpson: B-A-R-B-I-E-R-I.

Vannatter: Do you know an address on her?

Simpson: No, she lives on Wilshire, but I think she's out of town.

Vannatter: You got a phone number?

Simpson: Yeah (number deleted by STAR).

Vannatter: So you didn't see her last night?

Simpson: No, we'd been to a big affair the night before, and then I came back home. I was basically at home. I mean, any time I was...whatever time it took me to get to the recital and back, to get to the flower shop and back, I mean, that's the time I was out of the house.

Vannatter: Were you scheduled to play golf this morning, some place?

Simpson: In Chicago.

Vannatter: What kind of tournament was it?

Simpson: Ah, it was Hertz, with special clients.

Vannatter: Oh, OK. What time did you leave last night, leave the house?

Simpson: To go to the airport?

Vannatter: Mmm hmm.

Simpson: About...the limo was supposed to be there at 10:45. Normally, they get there a little earlier. I was rushing around -- somewhere between there and 11.

Vannatter: So approximately 10:45 to 11.

Simpson: Eleven o'clock, yea, somewhere in that area.

Vannatter: And you went by limo?

Simpson: Yeah.

Vannatter: Who's the limo service?

Simpson: Ah, you have to ask my office.

Lange: Did you converse with the driver at all? Did you talk to him?

Simpson: No, he was a new driver. Normally, I have a regular driver I drive with and converse. No, just about rushing to the airport, about how I live my life on airplanes, and hotels, that type of thing.

Lange: What time did the plane leave?

Simpson: Ah, 11:45 the flight took off.

Vannatter: What airline was it?

Simpson: American.

Vannatter: American? And it was 11:45 to Chicago?

Simpson: Chicago.

Lange: So yesterday you did drive the white Bronco?

Simpson: Mmm hmm.

Lange: And where did you park it when you brought it home?

Simpson: Ah, the first time probably by the mailbox. I'm trying to think, or did I bring it in the driveway? Normally, I will park it by the mailbox, sometimes...

Lange: On Ashford, or Ashland?

Simpson: On Ashford, yeah.

Lange: Where did you park yesterday for the last time, do you remember?

Simpson: Right where it is.

Lange: Where it is now?

Simpson: Yeah.

Lange: Where, on...?

Simpson: Right on the street there.

Lange: On Ashford?

Simpson: No, on Rockingham.

Lange: You parked it there?

Simpson: Yes.

Lange: About what time was that?

Simpson: Eight-something, seven...eight, nine o'clock, I don't know, right in that area.

Lange: Did you take it to the recital?

Simpson: No.

Lange: What time was the recital?

Simpson: Over at about 6:30. Like I said, I came home, I got my car, I was going to see my girlfriend. I was calling her and she wasn't around.

Lange: So you drove the...you came home in the Rolls, and then you got in the Bronco...

Simpson: In the Bronco, 'cause my phone was in the Bronco. And because it's a Bronco. It's a Bronco, it's what I drive, you know. I'd rather drive it than any other car. And, you know, as I was going over there, I called her a couple of times and she wasn't there, and I left a message, and then I checked my messages, and there were no new messages. She wasn't there, and she may have to leave town. Then I came back and ended up sitting with Kato.

Lange: OK, what time was this again that you parked the Bronco?

Simpson: Eight-something, maybe. He hadn't done a Jacuzzi, we had... went and got a burger, and I'd come home and kind of leisurely got read to go. I mean, we'd done a few things...

Lange: You weren't in a hurry when you came back with the Bronco.

Simpson: No

Lange: The reason I asked you, the cars were parked kind of at a funny angle, stuck out in the street.

Simpson: Well, it's parked because...I don't know if it's a funny angle or what. It's parked because when I was hustling at the end of the day to get all my stuff, and I was getting my phone and everything off it, when I just pulled it out of the gate there, it's like it's a tight turn.

Lange: So you had it inside the compound, then?

Simpson: Yeah.

Lange: Oh, OK.

Simpson: I brought it inside the compound to get my stuff out of it, and then I put it out, and I'd run back inside the gate before the gate closes.

Vannatter: Simpson:, what's you office phone number?

Simpson: (number deleted by STAR)

Vannatter: And is that area code 310?

Simpson: Yes.

Vannatter: How did you get the injury on your hand?

Simpson: I don't know. The first time, when I was in Chicago and all, but at the house I was just running around.

Vannatter: How did you do it in Chicago?

Simpson: I broke a glass. One of you guys had just called me, and I was in the bathroom, and I just kind of went bonkers for a little bit.

Lange: Is that how you cut it?

Simpson: Mmm, it was cut before, but I think I just opened it again, I'm not sure.

Lange: Do you recall bleeding at all in your truck, in the Bronco?

Simpson: I recall bleeding at my house and then I went to the Bronco. The last thing I did before I left, when I was rushing, was went and got my phone out of the Bronco.

Lange: Mmm hmm. Where's the phone now?

Simpson: In my bag.

Lange: You have it...?

Simpson: In that black bag.

Lange: You brought a bag with you here?

Simpson: Yeah, it's...

Lange: So do you recall bleeding at all?

Simpson: Yeah, I mean, I knew I was bleeding, but it was no big deal. I bleed all the time. I play golf and stuff, so there's always something, nicks and stuff here and there.

Lange: So did you do anything? When did you put the Band-Aid on it?

Simpson: Actually, I asked the girl this morning for it.

Lange: And she got it?

Simpson: Yeah, 'cause last night with Kato, when I was leaving, he was saying something to me, and I was rushing to get my phone, and I put a little thing on it, and it stopped.

Vannatter: Do you have the keys to that Bronco?

Simpson: Yeah.

Vannatter: OK. We've impounded the Bronco. I don't know if you know that or not.

Simpson: No.

Vannatter: ...take a look at it. Other than you, who's the last person to drive it.

Simpson: Probably Gigi. When I'm out of town, I don't know who drives the car, maybe my daughter, maybe Kato.

Vannatter: The keys are available?

Simpson: I leave the keys there, you know, when Gigi's there because sometimes she needs it, or Gigi was off and wasn't coming back until today, and I was coming back tonight.

Vannatter: So you don't mind if Gigi uses it, or...

Simpson: This is the only one I can let her use. When she doesn't have her car, 'cause sometimes her husband takes her car, I let her use the car.

Lange: When was the last time you were at Nicole's house?

Simpson: I don't go in, I won't go in her house. I haven't been in her house in a week, maybe five days. I go to her house a lot. I mean, I'm always dropping the kids off, picking the kids up, fooling around with the dog, you know.

Vannatter: How does that usually work? Do you drop them at the porch, or do you go in with them?

Simpson: No, I don't go in the house.

Vannatter: Is there a kind of gate out front?

Simpson: Yeah.

Vannatter: But you never go inside the house?

Simpson: Up until about five days, six days ago, I haven't been in the house. Once I started seeing Paula again, I kind of avoid Nicole.

Vannatter: Is Nicole seeing anybody else that you...

Simpson: I have no idea. I really have absolutely no idea. I don't ask her. I don't know. Her and her girlfriends, they go out, you know, they've got some things going on right now with her girlfriends, so I'm assuming something's happening because one of the girlfriends is having a big problem with her husband because she's always saying she's with Nicole until three or four in the morning. She's not. You know, Nicole tells me she leaves her at 1:30 or 2 or 2:30, and the girl doesn't get home until 5, and she only lives a few blocks away.

Vannatter: Something's going on, huh?

Lange: Do you know where they went, the family, for dinner last night?

Simpson: No. Well, no, I didn't ask.

Lange: I just thought maybe there's a regular place that they go.

Simpson: No. If I was with them, we'd go to Toscano. I mean, not Toscano, Poponi's.

Vannatter: You haven't had any problems with her lately, have you, OJ?

Simpson: I always have problems with her, you know? Our relationship has been a problem relationship. Probably lately for me, and I say this only because I said it to Ron yesterday at the -- Ron Fishman, whose wife is Cora -- at the dance recital, when he came up to me and went, "Oooh, boy, what's going on?" and everybody was beefing with everybody. And I said, "Well, I'm just glad I'm out of the mix." You know, because I was like dealing with him and his problems with his wife and Nicole and evidently some new problems that a guy named Christian was having with his girl, and he was staying at Nicole's house, and something was going on, but I don't think it's pertinent to this.

Vannatter: Did Nicole have words with you last night?

Simpson: Pardon me?

Vannatter: Did Nicole have words with you last night?

Simpson: No, not at all.

Vannatter: Did you talk to her last night?

Simpson: To ask to speak to my daughter, to congratulate my daughter, and everything.

Vannatter: But you didn't have a conversation with her?

Simpson: No, no.

Vannatter: What were you wearing last night, OJ?

Simpson: What did I wear on the golf course yesterday? Some of these kind of pants, some of these kind of pants -- I mean I changed different for whatever it was. I just had on some...

Vannatter: Just these black pants.

Simpson: Just these...They're called Bugle Boy.

Vannatter: These aren't the pants?

Simpson: No.

Vannatter: Where ar the pants that you wore?

Simpson: They're hanging in my closet.

Vannatter: These are washable, right? You just throw them in the laundry?

Simpson: Yeah, I got 100 pair. They give them to me free, Bugle Boys, so I've got a bunch of them.

Vannatter: Do you recall coming home and hanging them up, or...?

Simpson: I always hang up my clothes. I mean, it's rare that I don't hang up my clothes unless I'm laying them in my bathroom for her to do something with them, but those are the only things I don't hang up. But when you play golf, you don't necessarily dirty pants.

Lange: What kind of shoes were you wearing?

Simpson: Tennis shoes.

Lange: Tennis shoes? Do you know what kind?

Simpson: Probably Reebok, that's all I wear.

Lange: Are they at home, too?

Simpson: Yeah

Lange: Was this supposed to be a short trip to Chicago, so you didn't take a whole lot?

Simpson: Yeah, I was coming back today.

Lange: Just overnight?

Simpson: Yeah.

Vannatter: That's a hectic schedule, drive back here to play golf and come back.

Simpson: Yeah, but I do it all the time.

Vannatter: Do you?

Simpson: Yeah. That's what I was complaining with the driver about, you know, about my whole life is on and off airplanes.

Vannatter: OJ, we've got sort of a problem.

Simpson: Mmm hmm.

Vannatter: We've got some blood on and in your car, we've got some blood at your house, and sort of a problem.

Simpson: Well, take my blood test.

Lange: Well, we'd like to do that. We've got, of course, the cut on your finger that you aren't real clear on. Do you recall having that cut on your finger the last time you were at Nicole's house?

Simpson: A week ago?

Lange: Yeah.

Simpson: No. It was last night.

Lange: OK, so last night you cut it.

Vannatter: Somewhere after the recital?

Simpson: Somewhere when I was rushing to get out of my house.

Vannatter: OK, after the recital.

Simpson: Yeah.

Vannatter: What do you think happened? Do you have any idea?

Simpson: I have no idea, man. You guys haven't told me anything. I have no idea. When you said to my daughter, who said something to me today, that somebody else might have been involved, I have absolutely no idea what happened. I don't know how, why or what. But you guys haven't told me anything. Every time I ask you guys, you say you're going to tell me in a bit.

Vannatter: Well, we don't know a lot of answers to these questions yet ourselves, OJ, OK?

Simpson: I've got a bunch of guns, guns all over the place. You can take them, they're all there. I mean, you can see them. I keep them in my car for an incident that happened a month ago that my in-laws, my wife and everybody knows about that.

Vannatter: What was that?

Simpson: Going down to...and cops down there know about it because I've told two marshals about it. At a mall, I was going down for a christening, and I had just left -- and it was like 3:30 in the morning, and I'm in a lane, and also the car in front of me is going real slow, and I'm slowing down 'cause I figure he sees a cop, 'cause we were all going pretty fast. And I'm going to change lanes, but there's a car next to me, and I can't change lanes. Then that goes for a while, and I'm going to slow down and go around him but the car butts up to me, and I'm like caught between three cars. They were Oriental guys, and they were not letting me go anywhere. And finally I went on the shoulder, and I sped up, and then I held my phone up so they could see the light part of it, you know, 'cause I have tinted windows, and they kind of scattered, and I chased one of them for a while to make him think I was chasing him before I took off.

Lange: Were you in the Bronco?

Simpson: No.

Lange: What were you driving?

Simpson: My Bentley. It has tinted windows and all, so I figured they thought they had a nice little touch...

Lange: Did you think they were trying to rip you off?

Simpson: Definitely, they were. And then the next thing, you know, Nicole and I went home. At four in the morning I got there to Laguna, and when we woke up, I told her about it, and told her parents about it, told everybody about it, you know? And when I saw two marshals at a mall, I walked up and told them about it.

Vannatter: What did they do, make a report on it?

Simpson: They didn't know nothing. I mean, they'll remember me and remember I told them.

Vannatter: Did Nicole mention that she'd been getting any threats lately to you? Anything she was concerned about or the kids' safety?

Simpson: To her?

Vannatter: Yes.

Simpson: From?

Vannatter: From anybody.

Simpson: No, not at all.

Vannatter: Was she very security conscious? Did she keep that house locked up?

Simpson: Very.

Vannatter: The intercom didn't work appareny, right?

Simpson: I thought it worked.

Vannatter: Oh, OK. Does the electronic buzzer work?

Simpson: The electronic buzzer works to let people in.

Vannatter: Do you ever park in the rear when you go over there?

Simpson: Most of the time.

Vannatter: You do park in the rear.

Simpson: Most times when I'm taking the kids there, I come right into the driveway, blow the horn, and she, or a lot of times the housekeeper, either the housekeeper opens or they'll keep a garage door open up on the top of the thing, you know, but that's when I'm dropping the kids off, and I'm not going in. --- times I go to the front because the kids have to hit the buzzer and stuff.

Vannatter: Did you say before that up until about three weeks ago you guys were going out again and trying to...

Simpson: No, we'd been going out for about a year, and then the last six months we've had...it ain't been working, so we tried various things to see if we can make it work. We started trying to date, and that wasn't working, and so, you know, we just said the hell with it, you know.

Vannatter: And that was about three weeks ago?

Simpson: Yeah, about three weeks ago.

Vannatter: So you were seeing her up to that point?

Simpson: It's, it's...seeing her, yeah, I mean, yeah. It was a done deal. It just wasn't happening. I mean, I was gone. I was in San Juan doing a film, and I don't think we had sex since I've been back from San Juan, and that was like two months ago. So it's been like...for the kids we tried to do things together, you know, we didn't really date each other. Then we decided let's try to date each other. We went out one night, and it just didn't work.

Vannatter: When you say it didn't work, what do you mean?

Simpson: Ah, the night we went out it was fun. Then the next night we went out it was actually when I was down in Laguna, and she didn't want to go out. And I said, "Well, let's go out 'cause I came all the way down here to go out," and we kind of had a beef. And it just didn't work after that, you know? We were only trying to date to see if we could bring some romance back into our relationship. We just said, let's treat each other like boyfriend and girlfriend instead of, you know, like 17-year-old married people. I mean, 17 years together, whatever that is.

Vannatter: How long were you together?

Simpson: Seventeen years.

Vannatter: Seventeen years. Did you ever hit her, OJ?

Simpson: Ah, one night we had a fight. We had a fight, and she hit me. And they never took my statement, they never wanted to hear my side, and they never wanted to hear the housekeeper's side. Nicole was drunk. She did her thing, she started tearing up my house, you know? I didn't punch her or anything, but I...

Vannatter: ...slapped her a couple of times.

Simpson: No, no, I wrestled her, is what I did. I didn't slap her at all. I mean, Nicole's a strong girl. She's a...one of the most conditioned women. Since that period of time, she's hit me a few times, but I've never touched her after that, and I'm telling you, it's five-six years ago.

Vannatter: What is her birth date?

Simpson: May 19th.

Vannatter: Did you get together with her on her birthday?

Simpson: Yeah, her and I and the kids, I believe.

Vannatter: Did you give her a gift?

Simpson: I gave her a gift.

Vannatter: What did you give her?

Simpson: I gave her either a bracelet or the earrings.

Vannatter: Did she keep them or...

Simpson: Oh, no, when we split she gave me both the earrings and the bracelet back. I bought her a very nice bracelet -- I don't know if it was Mother's Day or her birthday -- and I bought her the earrings for the other thing, and when we split -- and it's a credit to her -- she felt that it wasn't right that she had it, and I said good because I want them back.

Vannatter: Was that the very day of her birthday, May 19, or was it a few days later?

Simpson: What do you mean?

Vannatter: You gave it to her on the 19th of May, her birthday, right, this bracelet?

Simpson: I may have given her the earrings. No, the bracelet, May 19th. When was Mother's Day?

Vannatter: Mother's Day was around that...

Simpson: No, it was probably her birthday, yes.

Vannatter: And did she return it the same day?

Simpson: Oh, no, she...I'm in a funny place here on this, all right? She returned it -- both of them -- three weeks ago or so, because when I say I'm in a funny place on this it was because I gave it to my girlfriend and told her it was for her, and that was three weeks ago. I told her I bought it for her. You know? What am I going to do with it?

Lange: Did Mr. Weitzman, your attorney, talk to you anything about this polygraph we brought up before? What are your thoughts on that?

Simpson: Should I talk about my thoughts on that? I'm sure eventually I'll do it, but it's like I've got some weird thoughts now. I've had weird thoughts...you know when you've been with a person for 17 years, you think everything. I've got to understand what this thing is. If it's true blue, I don't mind doing it.

Lange: Well, you're not compelled at all to take this thing, number one, and number two -- I don't know if Mr. Weitzman explained it to you -- this goes to the exclusion of someone as much as the inclusion so we can eliminate people. And just to get things straight.

Simpson: But does it work for elimination?

Lange: Oh, yes. We use it for elimination more than anything.

Simpson: Well, I'll talk to him about it.

Lange: Understand, the reason we're talking to you is because you're the ex-husband.

Simpson: I know, I'm the number one target, and now you tell me I've got blood all over the place.

Lange: Well, there's blood at your house in the driveway, and we've got a search warrant, and we're going to go get the blood. We found some in your house. Is that your blood that's there?

Simpson: If it's dripped, it's what I dripped running around trying to leave.

Lange: Last night?

Simpson: Yeah, and I wasn't aware that it was...I was aware that I... You know, I was trying to get out of the house. I didn't even pay any attention to it, I saw it when I was in the kitchen, and I grabbed a napkin or something, and that was it. I didn't think about it after that.

Vannatter: That was last night after you got home from the recital, when you were rushing?

Simpson: That was last night when I was...I don't know what I was... I was in the car getting my junk out of the car. I was in the house throwing hangers and stuff in my suitcase. I was doing my little crazy what I do...I mean, I do it everywhere. Anybody who has ever picked me up says that OJ's a whirlwind, he's running, he's grabbing things, and that's what I was doing.

Vannatter: Well, I'm going to step out and I'm going to get a photographer to come down and photograph your hand there. And then here pretty soon we're going to take you downstairs and get some blood from you. OK? I'll be right back.

Lange: So it was about five days ago you last saw Nicole? Was it at the house?

Simpson: OK, the last time I saw Nicole, physically saw Nicole...I saw her obviously last night. The time before, I'm trying to think...I went to Washington, DC, so I didn't see her, so I'm trying to think...I haven't seen her since I went to Washington -- what's the date today?

Lange: Today's Monday, the 13th of June.

Simpson: OK, I went to Washington on maybe Wednesday. Thursday I think I was in...Thursday I was in Connecticut, then Long Island Thursday afternoon and all of Friday. I got home Friday night, Friday afternoon. I played, you know... Paula picked me up at the airport. I played golf Saturday, and when I came home I think my son was there. So I did something with my son. I don't think I saw Nicole at all then. And then I went to a big affair with Paula Saturday night, and I got up and played golf Sunday which pissed Paula off, and I saw Nicole at...It was about a week before, I saw her at the...

Lange: OK, the last time you saw Nicole, was that at her house?

Simpson: I don't remember. I wasn't in her house, so it couldn't have been at her house, so it was, you know, I don't physically remember the last time I saw her. I may have seen her even jogging one day.

Lange: Let me get this straight. You've never physically been inside the house?

Simpson: Not in the last week.

Lange: Ever. I mean, how long has she lived there? About six months?

Simpson: Oh, Christ, I've slept(ital) at the house many, many, many times, you know? I've done everything at the house, you know? I'm just saying,...You're talking in the last week or so.

Lange: Well, whatever. Six months she's lived there?

Simpson: I don't know. Roughly. I was at her house maybe two weeks ago, 10 days ago. One night her and I had a long talk, you know, about how can we make it better for the kids, and I told her we'd do things better. And, OK, I can almost say when that was. That was when I...I don't know, it was about 10 days ago. And then we...The next day I had her have her dog do a flea bath or something with me. Oh, I'll tell you, I did see her one day. One day I went...I don't know if this was the early part of last week, I went 'cause my son had to go and get something, and he ran in, and she came to the gate, and the dog ran out, and her friend Faye and I went looking for the dog. That may have been a week ago, I don't know.

Lange: (To Vannatter) Got a photographer coming?

Vannatter: No, we're going to take him up there.

Lange: We're ready to terminate this at 14:07.

Video description: photos of the aftermath of the August 12th 1985 crash of JAL 123 which killed 520 people. cockpit audio from the final minute before the crash and music by @ApocalypseDude

flight voice recording (black box)

On the afternoon of the accident day, JA8119 has already completed two round trip flights, JL503/504 to and from Sapporo, and JL363/366 to and from Fukuoka. At 5.17pm, the plane has just completed flight JL366, and was parked at Spot 18 at Tokyo International Airport, getting ready for its flight to Osaka, JL123.

At 6.04pm, the plane started taxiing towards the runway. Takeoff was at 6.12pm, and it climbed to its cruising height of 24000ft. The flight was going smoothly up to this point.

At 6.24pm, a sudden, loud noise rocked the cabin after the failure of the pressure bulkhead resulted in explosive decompression. As air rushed out of the plane, its tail also broke completely off, which is where all four hydraulic lines are located; as a result, this meant the pilots no longer had any ability to control the aircraft. 46 seconds later, the pilots squawked 7700 (emergency) and requested to return to Tokyo International Airport.

However, although the air traffic controller approved the plane to turn towards Tokyo, the plane strangely started heading towards the north west direction. At 6.28pm, the Tokyo Air Traffic Controller asked the pilots to turn left, but received the message from the pilots, "now uncontrollable." By then, the plane was moving in a way called the phugoid motion, climbing until losing speed and stalling, then the nose goes down and gaining speed until the plane is able to climb again. The phugoid motion repeated itself until the end of the flight.

Photo show JAL123 in flight after it had lost it tail

At 6.31pm, the air traffic controller asked the crew to land at Nagoya Airport, which was 72 miles (about 133 km) from their location. However, the pilots wanted to return to Tokyo. Between 6.35pm and 6.56pm, the pilots struggled to control the plane without the tail. This failed, as the plane flew uncontrollably towards the mountains.

At 6.56pm, the plane's right wing hit a ridge. The aircraft then flew on, crashed into a second ridge, and exploded. 520 people died, while 4 people survived.

Photo taken from inside the plane shortly before the crash

The time taken for the plane to crash after the bulkhead failure is 32 minutes. The accident was the worst in aviation history involving explosive decompression.

About the plane

The plane that crashed was a Boeing 747-146SR, with tail number JA8119. The plane was used to fly short, domestic routes within Japan. The plane first flew on January 28, 1974. It had 4 Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7A engines. Before it crashed, it had flown for 25030 hours, and took off and landed 18835 times.

On June 2, 1978, JA8119 was involved in a tailstrike accident at Osaka International Airport. When landing, the plane's tail struck the runway. The aft pressure bulkhead was damaged in the accident, as well as the rear of the plane. Later, during June 17 and July 11, repairman from Boeing repaired the plane, by replacing the lower part of the rear and a part of the bulkhead. The plane later returned to service.

While investigating the accident, the investigators realised that the repair done by Boeing 7 years before the accident was incorrect. While two rows of rivets were required for a splice plate in the bulkhead to be installed, the repairman only used one row. This increased the chance of metal fatigue by 70% and also caused the subsequent accident.
