2:30 p.m. In a conversation with "Kato" Kaelin,
OJ tells Kaelin that he and Nicole aren't "together"
7:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. (sometime in between theses hours) Paula
Barbieri breaks off her relationship with OJ by phone.
4:30 p.m. Ron Goldman clocks in at Mezzaluna restaurant, where
he works as a waiter.
6:00 p.m. Nicole Brown Simpson and OJ Simpson leave their
daughter, Sydney's, dance recital held at the Paul Revere
Junior High School. They depart in separate vehicles as they
had arrived. At home, OJ tells Kato that Nicole and a friend
had been wearing very "tight" outfits, Im assuming
he was referring to the black dress that Nicole was killed
in.
6:30 - 7:30 p.m. Kato talks to OJ as a football game ending.
6:30 p.m. Nicole and her party of ten arrive at Mezzaluna
restaurant.
8:30 p.m. Nicole's check totaling $213.95 including tip, is
cashed out on Nicole's American Express credit card, then
exits the restaurant shortly after.
8:30 p.m. Kato gets out of the Jacuzzi and returns to his
room to make a phone call.
9:10 p.m. OJ and Kato go to McDonalds in OJ's Rolls Royce.
9:22 - 9:25 The two arrive at the McDonalds drive through
window.
9:30 p.m. - Judith Brown calls Mezzaluna to inquire lost prescription
glasses that she may have left there.
9:35 - Nicole calls the restaurant and asks to speak to Ron
Goldman, her friend. No one heard the conversation between
the two but it's widely assumed that Nicole asked Ron to drop
the glasses off as her house was easily passed on his way
home.
9:40 - 9:45 - Kato and OJ return home with food from McDonalds.
Kato states that OJ looked "tired". They both retire
to their parts of the house.
10:00 p.m. - OJ removes the dome light from his Bronco then
carefully places it under the passenger side seat. The time
frame as to when OJ removed the dome light is known only to
himself, but it's assumed that the light was removed before
he left his residence in order to avoid detection or recognition.
No one knows for certain when it was removed, only that the
light was indeed removed, not replaced, found under the passenger
side seat and it was in perfect working condition. Police
often use this tactic when on stakeouts, to avoid detection.
10:00 - 10:15 - OJ drives the two miles to Nicole's Bundy
residence. He proceeds to slit her throat nearly decapitation
her. He stabs her in her neck, throat and chest. She was dead
within in minutes.
10:15 p.m. - Several neighbors report hearing a dog's plaintive
wail, a cry for help so to speak.
10:25 p.m. - Mr. Allan Park arrives at OJ's Rockingham residence,
at the Ashford street gate. He decides to wait a few minutes
before buzzing OJ to let him know that he was there.
10:30 p.m. - Robert Heidstra, one of Nicole's neighbors, reports
hearing a man's voice shouting, "Hey! Hey! Hey!."
He also reported hearing another man respond, but could not
distinguish exactly what was said.
10:30 - 10:40 p.m. - We can only assume that the voice that
Mr. Heidstra heard was that of Ron Goldman and the responding
voice was that of OJ Simpson. Going on that assumption, you
can place Ron's murder between this ten minute time frame.
Ron more than likely walked upon OJ murdering Nicole, being
the type of man he was, he would have tried to stop it. When
OJ realized that someone else was there, not only did the
rage take over (with the thought of this man there to see
Nicole, not returning glasses, but for other reasons) but
he also knew he couldn't let this man walk away alive.
10:40 p.m. - Simpson flee's the murder scene leaving his size
12 Bruno Magli bloody shoe print behind. In his rush to get
away from the scene and return home, he blows a red stop light
nearly running into the side of Jill Shivleys van, a resident
of the same Brentwood neighborhood. She states that she was
positive it was OJ Simpson she was nearly hit by, because
he stuck his head clearly out the window an shouted, "Get
out of the way! Get out of the way!"
10:40 p.m. - Allan Park begins buzzing the Simpson residence
on the Ashford Street entrance of the Rockingham residence.
10:44 p.m. - OJ arrives back at the Rockingham estate after
murdering Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. He hastily parks
the Bronco, then reaches under the passenger seat trying to
reach the dome light to replace it (hence the blood smears
on the passenger side floorboard). He gives up the search
for the light realizing he doesn't have much time and proceeds
to climb the fence.
10:45 p.m. OJ over shoots the fence and falls into Kato's
bungalow wall. In the process he doesn't realize that he's
dropped the second bloody glove, the first one being left
at the murder scene.
10:45 p.m. - Kato, while on the phone, hears a series of three
thumps on the wall from the outside.
10:48 p.m. - 10:55 p.m. - Kato cuts off his phone call then
proceeds outside to investigate the source of the bumps on
his wall. He views the limo in the driveway of the Ashford
Street entrance and proceeds around the house to continue
searching the noise out.
10:50 p.m. - Park stops buzzing the house after repeated attempts
with no response. He then pages his boss, calls his mother
then calls his boss's home.
10:55 p.m. - Parks boss returns his page and tells him to
continue waiting.
10:55 p.m. - A neighbor of Nicole's finds her Akita unattended
with bloody paws, stomach and neck. He takes the dog home
with him, not sure who he belongs to, he calls the police
department. Another neighbor takes the dog home, but it remains
agitated.
10:56 - 10:57 p.m. - Park sees a white male carrying a flashlight.
At almost the same exact moment Park sees a six foot tall
roughly 200 lb black man wearing dark clothes cross the driveway
then enter the residence. Kaelin, still concerned about the
noises he heard, approaches Park and asks him if OJ over slept,
then asks Park if he felt any earth quake tremors. Approximately
20 seconds after Park sees the black man enter the residence,
OJ answers the buzz and states that he's over slept and was
just getting out of the shower.
11:01 p.m. - Lights begin coming on in the house.
11:10 p.m. - Simpson exits the Rockingham house with 5 bags.
Kato helps load the bags into the limo. OJ hastily stops him
as Kato is reaching for a moon shaped bag that he recalls
is very full. Simpson tells Kato that he'll take care of that
bag himself.
11:15 p.m. - The limo exits the residence with Park, Simpson
and luggage then heads for LAX.
11:35 p.m. - OJ arrives at LAX.
11:45 p.m. - Simpson flight leaves for Chicago. During the
flight, other passengers report that Simpson appeared to act
normal but made several trips to the bathroom.
Monday
June 13, 1994
12:10 a.m. - Nicole's dog leads her neighbor to the murder
scene where he describes what he saw as "blood flowing
like a river."
12: a.m. - Police arrive at the Bundy murder scene. They soon
discover the dead body of Nicole Brown Simpson and a second
body they identify as being Ron Goldman.
4:15 a.m. - OJ checks into the O'Hare Plaza Hotel.
4:30 a.m. - Police go to Simpson's estate to notify him of
the murders at which point they notice blood on Simpson's
white Ford Bronco and more blood leading to the house.
5:00 a.m. - Detectives Mark Fuhrman and Phillip Vannatter
arrive at the Rockingham estate. There are lights on in the
upstairs of the house and several vehicles in the driveway
which leads officers to believe that there are people in the
residence.
5:15 a.m. - 5:30 a.m. - Detectives and police examine what
would later be proven to be blood stains on Simpson's Bronco
and blood stains leading away from the location. They attempt
to contact the people in the house. When that fails they call
Westec Security (Simpson's security people). Westec dispatches
two cars to the location, they also give police the phone
number into the location. After examining the blood and failed
attempts to get any person on the phone inside the house,
they determine that there may be an emergency situation and
climb the fence.
5:30 a.m. - 5:35 a.m. - Police wake Arnelle Simpson in OJ's
guesthouse.
5:40 a.m. - Arnelle takes police into the house with a front
door key. Officers inquire about the live in maid and are
directed to the maids room where they give it a once over.
Police then make arrangements for the Simpson children. Cathy
Randa is called.
6:00 a.m. - OJ is contacted in Chicago and inform him of his
wife's tragic death. Officer Lange notes the strange behavior
of Simpson. At hearing of his wife's death Simpson exhibited
an unusual demeanor. He reacted with what could only barely
termed "mild shock". Detective Lange would later
state his suspicions about OJ's demeanor. In over 20 years
on the force, Lange had investigated well over 100 murders.
The family of the victims would more usually than not, react
with much more emotion than Simpson displayed. Along with
the emotional out pouring, they would always asked the standard
questions, who, what ,when, where and why. Simpson asked none
of these questions but told officers he would return home.
During this time, Kato tells police about the loud thumping
he heard the night before and Det. Fuhrman walks down the
path to investigate. Fuhrman goes no where else on the property
and officers don't investigate any other area's of the estate.
In the area behind Kato's bungalow, adjacent to the air conditioning
unit, they find the now famous bloody glove, presumed, later
proven, to match the glove left at the Bundy scene.
6:30 a.m. - Simpson checks out of the O'Hare Plaza hotel.
