From the archives: LAPD announces search for O.J. Simpson in 1994

On June 17, 1994, the Los Angeles Police Department announced O.J. Simpson had been charged with murder and couldn't be located. At the time, Simpson was wanted for the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. He would later be acquitted of the murders, but was found financially liable for them. Dan Rather anchored CBS News' special report.

I remember watching this live. Just a bizarre, surreal thing.

[@hodell82]

I remember watching this live - I'll never forget the collective gasp in the room when Gascon said that the LAPD was looking for Simpson. That's when you knew shitake was about to get real.

The idea of putting blood-wet leather gloves over hands wearing rubber protective gloves and then claiming they don't fit, is not honest.

It didn't fit!!! get over it

The dude died literally hours ago and we’re rewatching that one time he was reasonably accused of a double homicide and got away with it, somehow giving us the Kardashians. RIP Juice

Would love it if you guys posted the full uncut Bronco chase.

Today Gascón is the LA County district attorney with very liberal policies toward criminals. O.J. would be out of jail the same day.

THANK YOU 🙏.🥸🥸🥸

Same last name different person. Nice try.

[@SMH24.7]

Absolutely positively unequivocally 1000% WRONG...! Get your facts straight. The LA County District Attorney is George Gascon. Not David.

Little did they know how Simpson's lawyers would go on to chew up and spit out the entire LAPD.

I loved the typical defense strategy, "O.J. was framed by the evil police because he's a successful black man!" LOL! Watch P Diddy try the same thing!😂

O.J. was really a good man, he was at times misunderstood but I believe the jury got it right. 🙏🐣👊

He abused his wife. That's not a good man.

I don't think you believe what you're saying, you just trying to get a rise out of somebody

[@jsizemo]

I will take this claim at face value and ask (having been 30 years now) if there is a consensus among the "OJ skeptics" on who the "real killer(s)" of Nicole and Ron might have been?

[@TheOusooner56]

@@jaykid6595 agreed. Anybody with a brain knows where O.J. Simpson is right now.
