Advance praise O. J. is Innocent and Bill Dear
Bill has turned up some new, very interesting and troubling information about this case. I havent gone and dont go as far as he does in concluding that this information proves that a certain someone else did the murders, but it is information that deserves to be put before the public; it deserves careful consideration.
Dan Rather, retired, CBS News
Bill came to speak at my 2005 Markle Symposium on homicide and blew away over 500 people involved in law enforcement. It was overwhelming to see how many guilty verdicts went to not guilty verdicts at the end of his lecture. I continue to use his investigation into the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman in my lectures all over the world.
Dr. Henry Lee, Founder and Professor of the Forensic
Science Program at the University of New Haven, Chief
Emeritus of the Connecticut State Police
I studied the Overlooked Suspects diaries, writings, medications, hospital confinement, and arrests. In short, I can say that the LAPD overlooked a major suspect who could kill again.
Dr. William Flynn,
Criminal Forensic Psychiatrist, Texas
Tenacious and tirelessthats investigator Bill Dear. When hes convinced hes right about a case, step out of the way because hes unstoppable. When we worked together on homicides, he was always persistent and dedicated, devising wayssometimes flamboyantlyto find answers.
Capt. Larry Momchilov, retired, Akron, Ohio
I am convinced beyond a doubt, based on Mr. Dears investigation that I have been privileged to follow, that the Los Angeles police department had overlooked a major suspect, one that should have been considered a suspect from the very beginning.
Dr. Harvey Davisson, Psychologist, Texas
Unlike preceding books on this subject by others, Mr. Dears new book, to me, offers a strong suspect.
Hugh Aynesworth, The Washington Times
An outstanding piece of investigative work that should shock everyone once they read Mr. Dears book.
J. F., retired, FBI
I was fascinated with what your investigation came up with. I am in complete agreement. I always had the opinion that the LAPD did not have enough evidence in the Simpson case and they fixated on one suspect and one suspect only. This book will be like an H-Bomb!
Alan Blozis, retired Police
Lieutenant Commander, NYPD
As an investigator in the state of Texas, Mr. Dears book into the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman can be described as an outstanding investigative piece of work, Im convinced.
B. Madding, Chief Deputy, Fairfield, Texas
Mr. Dears investigation and former theories and new facts in this book make it extremely plausible and believable.
James Cron, former Commander,
Dallas County Sheriffs Crime Scene Unit
I couldnt put it down; I told members of my staff, Oh my God, it all makes sense now.
Sheriff Dick Wagman, retired, Texas
While these alleged crimes are not within the apparent jurisdiction of a Texas state court, were these events to have taken place here, with Bills investigation which I have read in detail, the matters would seem to perhaps warrant, at minimum, a grand jury investigation, or even the convening of a rarely used Court of Inquiry procedure, under our law.

DISCLAIMER
The factual information presented herein was obtained from court proceedings and other documents of public record associated with the criminal case: State of California vs. O. J. Simpson, except for new information recently discovered by the author.
All the people and events depicted are real. Only a few names have been changed for the protection of the individual.

In essence, these recollections are not intended to be statements of material facts, but rather his opinions of what was said and his interpretation of what those words meant.
Like most Americans, I believe O. J. probably was involved in the slayings, but I dont think he did it alone. He must have had help. And it could be that Simpson was not the person wielding the knife. The physical evidencethe multiple footprints at the crime scene, the lack of blood at the crime scene, the forcefulness with which the crimes were committed, the time restraints during which the crimes were committedstrongly supports the theory that there was a second attacker involved.

Evidence: The Forensics Behind Nine Shocking Cases
Introduction
A LMOST EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO, I began assembling a team consisting of my own agency and its resources, along with an international group of distinguished experts in the investigative fields of forensics, pathology, and crime scene to look into the brutal murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman on the night of June 12, 1994.
The legal process of this case had left me with more questions than answers and a feeling, shared by many, that justice had not been served and the truth had not been uncovered, in spite of two trials of the century that consumed endless man-hours, millions of taxpayer dollars, and the riveted attention of most of the nation.
My purpose in what became a long journey was not just to write another O. J. book but to seek the truth, just as I have done in every other murder case I have investigated, even though I was aware I would be fighting odds stacked heavily against me. My experience over the past forty-five years has been that when facts in a case are uncovered which could disprove the original theory, no one wants to admit they could have been wrong. Too many interests are vested in preserving the original conclusions. So I knew I would face many challenges.
I am a private investigator who had to take the road back into the murders the hard way. I am neither a police officer nor a member of the district attorneys office. I do not have the power of subpoena, the right to take depositions, or the right to arrest. Thats why my methods sometimes have to be unorthodox. I have had to follow twisted paths and employ some of the same clandestine and controversial evidence-gathering tactics as those used by investigative journalists.
