Blood stained knife claimed to have been found at OJ's estate…

A retired police officer claims to be in possession of a blood stained knife buried at O.J. Simpson’s old
Rockingham Estate. TMZ reports below…

    A construction worker found a knife buried on the perimeter of the
    former O.J. Simpson estate … and it’s currently being tested by the
    LAPD in a top secret investigation … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

    The story is incredible. We’re told a construction worker found the
    knife years ago — we have heard several different stories, ranging from
    “several years ago” to 1998, when the house was demolished.
    The weapon is a folding buck knife.
     Our law enforcement sources say the construction worker took the knife
    to the street, where he saw an LAPD cop. He told the officer where he
    found the knife and the cop took it.

    Turns out the cop — who worked in the traffic division — was off duty
    at the time, working security for a movie shoot at a house across the
    street on Rockingham. Our sources say the officer took the knife home
    and kept it … kept it for years.
     In late January of this year, after the cop retired from the LAPD, he
    contacted a friend who worked in LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division (RHD).
    The cop told the friend about the knife and said he was getting it
    framed to put on his wall. He wanted his friend to get the DR
    (Departmental Record) number for the Nicole Brown Simpson/Ronald Goldman
    murder case, which he planned on engraving in the frame.

    We’re told the friend was indignant, and told his superiors. The brass
    was outraged and demanded that the retired cop turn the knife over,
    which he did.

    Our sources say the knife is currently being tested for hair and
    fingerprints. It will be moved to the Serology Unit next week, where it
    will be tested for DNA and other biological evidence.

    One source familiar with the investigation tells us, cops who eyeballed
    the knife think it could have blood residue on it, but it’s hard to know
    without testing because it’s extremely rusted and stained.
    The investigation is top secret. It’s been logged into the LAPD’s
    computer system outside the official case file to maintain security. Our
    sources say, since O.J. was found not guilty, it’s still an open case.
    That means cops can continue investigating, but O.J. cannot be
    prosecuted again — double jeopardy.
