It was 14 years ago tonight, June 12, 1994, that Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were murdered at Nicole’s home in Brentwood California. It was a bizarre, yet fascinating case that held the country’s attention for years. A majority of people believe O.J. got aweay with murder.
The dog kept barking late on this foggy Sunday evening, June 12, 1994. Pablo Fenjves, a screenwriter, thought he heard it the first time at about 10:15. Elsie Tistaert, who lived just across the street, also heard it, and when she looked out of her window, she saw the dog, a white Akita, pacing up and down outside the front of 875 South Bundy Drive. Louis Kaupf, who lived next door to 875, returned late from the airport and went out to clear his mail at 10:50. The dog was still barking and trotting up and down in an agitated manner. Just before 11:00, Steven Schwab, who was walking his own dog, came across the distressed animal. It followed him home. There, he noticed that the dog’s belly fur and paws were matted in red.
