When Nicole Brown Simpson was found stabbed to death outside of her Brentwood, California home on June 13, 1994, officers entered the house to find what looked like a silent vigil: Candles were lit, the bathtub was full, and a half-melted bowl of ice cream was resting on a downstairs bannister. Most disturbing of all, her children were sound asleep in their beds. Ron Goldman, her friend and a local waiter at a nearby restaurant, was also found murdered alongside the 34-year-old woman. He had been stabbed 25 times (via Penn Live).
Witnesses reported seeing Simpson at Mezzaluna, the restaurant where Goldman worked, earlier in the evening. After his shift, he told his coworkers that he was headed off to Simpson’s nearby residence to deliver a pair of sunglasses that she’d left behind while having dinner a few hours prior. Sadly, it would be the last time anyone ever saw him alive (per Penn Live).
