O.J. Simpson Shocker: P.I. Claims His Son Jason Committed Murders
Apr. 1 2012, Published 11:00 a.m. ET
Private investigator William Dear has penned a new book with the stunning allegation that Jason Simpson, not his father O.J., murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman on June 12, 1994.
In O.J. Is Innocent And I Can Prove It, Dear says he's spent the last six years investigating the case.
Dear claims O.J. was at the murder scene but not until after his ex-wife and her friend had been stabbed to death, and that he uncovered substantial circumstantial evidence pointing to Jason being the killer.
That "evidence" came from an abandoned storage locker and Jason's trash, Dear writes. Two years ago, the Texas gumshoe made the same allegations in a little-seen documentary.
O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murders in what many viewed as the "trial of the century." He was later found "liable" for the deaths in a civil suit brought against him by the Brown and Goldman families.
The former football great is now in a Nevada prison, serving a lengthy sentence for armed robbery and kidnapping following his conviction in a bizarre case involving his own sports memorabilia.

LAPD detectives determined Jason Simpson had an alibi at the time of his stepmother's murder and he was never considered a suspect. Now 41, he was last known to be working as a chef in Miami and has not been reached by media outlets seeking comment on the book.
