Since 1994, former American football running back OJ Simpson has made headlines, not for his gridiron prowess, but for the horrific murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson.
The deceased was discovered in her own blood pool at her home in California with a friend of hers, a waiter identified as Ron Goldman. The aftermath of this spine-chilling discovery was arguably one of the most high-profile murder cases of all time, in which the retired NFL player was a prime suspect. Two decades later, more and more jaw-dropping details are still emerging about the circumstances that led to the death of the young mother of two in her prime. Here’s what we know so far.
Nicole Brown Simpson’s Bio
A German named Juditha Anne Brown and Louis Hezekiel Brown, an American, welcomed Nicole on May 19, 1959, to the heart of their joy. She was born in Frankfurt, West Germany.
Her quest for an education led her to RanchoAlamitos High School in Garden Grove, California, but she did not graduate, as she later graduated from Dana Hills High School in Dana Point, California. Apparently, his studies did not go beyond high school, as there is no record of a university degree in his name. In addition, she was already working as a waitress at the age of eighteen.
How she met Simpson
Retired swept-back running back Nicole Brown Simpson rests when they met at a club in 1977. She was a waitress at the club known as The Daisy. Despite the fact that he was still married to Marguerite, his first wife, and Nicole was only eighteen, Simpson entered into a relationship with her and later divorced his wife in 1979.
When the coast cleared up, Simpson and Brown made their official relationship in a wedding ceremony on February 2, 1985. Nevertheless, what seemed like a fairy tale turned into a nightmare seven years later and two children later. Based on irreconcilable differences, Nicole filed for divorce on February 25, 1992, apparently O. j. Simpson had turned her into a punching bag and she couldn’t take it anymore.
When and why was she murdered?
Nicole Brown Simpson who resided at 875 South Bundy Drive, Brentwood, Los Angeles, California with her two children after leaving her husband, was 35 at the time of her death. She must have made plans for the fateful day but could not live to carry them out as her body was discovered in the early morning of June 13, 1994. She and her friend Ron Goldman had been brutally murdered and left in a pool of blood. .
The result of an autopsy performed on her showed seven stab wounds to her neck and scalp. She also suffered a severe 140 mm (5.5 inch) life-threatening gash in her throat, severing her left and right carotid arteries. The dangerous cut also went through his right and left jugular veins. Also, the cut on his neck nearly ripped his head off as it reached 19mm deep into the cervical vertebrae. A few defensive wounds on her hands indicate that she fought for her life.
Her ex-husband was charged with Nicole’s murder and Ron was acquitted a year later, but he was later found responsible for the tragic incident following a civil suit in 1997. As a result, he received the ordered to pay $33.5 million in punitive damages to the two families of the deceased.
To this day, why and who ended the lives of Nicole and her friend remains an unsolved mystery.
Nicole Brown Simpson’s Kids, sister
Prior to her heartbreaking murder, Nicole was the mother of two children, Sydney and Justin Simpson, born in 1985 and 1988 respectively, while she was still enjoying marital bliss with OJ Simpson. When the highly publicized murder trial ended in 1996, Simpson’s request for sole custody of her two children was approved by a judge and all efforts by Nicole’s parents to overturn the decision proved unsuccessful.
In memory of the murdered German-American beauty, a foundation known as the Nicole Simpson Foundation was established in 1994. The foundation which later took the name of the Nicole Brown Charitable Foundation aims to enlighten communities through education, awareness and other possible means. Nicole’s sister, Denise Brown, has been thrust into the spotlight following financial controversies over the foundation. Subsequently, donations were no longer received as before and affected the foundation’s foundation.
