2024.05.14 02:47 elsa78910 34f My SO’s ex 29F sent this long message idk who to believe. Have any women had a similar experience?

His ex sent me this message. Sorry it’s so long! Has anybody else gotten a similar message in the past? How did you react?
Message below: “It’s been over a year of me wondering whether I should just come out and ask you or message you… but being afraid that if I do, and I’m wrong, it’ll be a the biggest mistake of my life. I have begged and begged him to tell me what you are to him, and he denies having anything more than a platonic friendship with you.
I want to preface this message with, I have no ill will towards you, I just want some answers… answers I don’t believe I’m going to get from Jared. I don’t know if he’s mentioned anything about me. So here goes…
November 2022, I sent Jared an email, telling him I loved him, missed him, and though I didn’t require a response back, I wanted him to know how sorry I was for everything that had happened and things had ended. He responded with a lengthy email telling me he still fervently loved me and how he too was sorry for how things had ended. That email lead to the last year and a half of events.
December 2022, I drove down to Roanoke and surprised him at the Carilion garage. He left the hospital as fast as he could that night, and we spent the rest of that evening together, catching up, and he left for Key West two days later. Two weeks later, he came up to DC and we had a late birthday celebration for him at Clyde’s in Georgetown and went to see A Christmas Carol at the Ford Theater. A few weeks later we drove to Jersey to see Matchbox20, by now it was the end of January 2023. Almost every week off, for the last year, he would come up and see me, if even for only two days, or I would drive down to Roanoke and spend the week with him. We spoke about our past, the hurt, and future, he told me numerous times that when he pictured marriage and children, it was only with me, but he needed time. This part is important, and I’ll come back to it later. We celebrated my birthday at a restaurant in Navy Yard, two weeks before you guys left for London. Chris video chatted with that night while we were at the restaurant eating Wagyu, and they discussed the new shipment of sunglasses Chris had gotten for Miggieswear.
The weekend of the Super Bowl, he had come seen me earlier that week, the day after he left I came to Roanoke and left the day of the Super Bowl. He told me his parents were having a viewing party and he had to go home and cook. I’m now assuming he left my Airbnb and came to your place.
That February he planned a trip to London, with Nicole, Ryan and Chris, and what he told me were, Nicole’s “friends.” Nicole happened to post a picture of you guys sitting on the plane and I was shocked, why would Nicole’s friend be sitting between him and Ryan. I sent him a message while you were on that 6 hour flight, telling him that if he had been seeing somebody, then why didn’t he tell me? There was no point in us spending time together if he had moved on. His response to me was “do you even know what you’re looking at? I’m surprised you don’t recognize her, that’s Nicole’s friend. You’re jumping to a lot of conclusions right now and don’t know what you’re talking about.” Something in my gut didn’t believe it but I wanted to trust that, so I did. I put you out of sight, out of mind. When he got back, he told me how he wished I’d been there with him, we both love history and old buildings, it’s a place we would have found magical together. I don’t know who came up with the idea of going to London, but part of me always thinks I’m the one who put it there when I shared the pictures i had taken when I went there the year we had been no contact.
We went to a Kenny Chesney concert in Charlottesville that March when I got back from my family trip to India, and he got back from London. Between work, us both traveling with our families, we were excited to see one another. We were going to go to St Augustine, but because of the weather, we stayed in Roanoke and saw Kenny Chesney in Charlottesville. The original plan had been to spend the night in Charlottesville at a hotel, but we couldn’t get one last minute so we ended up driving back to Roanoke and sneaking into the basement at his parents house and sleeping in his bed at 3am.
A few months later, we went to Richmond, and stayed the weekend, exploring the city, and watched Hamilton at the Altria Theater. A few months after that, we went to Savannah and Atlanta, where he got a flat tire driving into the garage, and spent the rest of the weekend at a yoga retreat. July, he asked me to go to Boston with him and his brother, for 4th or July weekend, but I couldn’t because my siblings were in town. Every single week, he came down and either stayed with me, or made a quick trip to spend time with me…
This past September, I found out he took you to Justin’s wedding, and I broke. I needed more from him. I have known him, been intimate with him, shared my every fear, worry, I have brought him home cooked meals from DC and surprised him at work with dinner, I’ve made him care packages. I’ve made Ryan Easter baskets and sent him birthday presents and encouraged Jared to put him in academic classes, I’ve helped Jared look into private schools for Ryan, and weighed the pros and cons of the options. I had no expectations in return from him other than, at the very least, a mutual respect and HONESTY.
I’ve seen him quite a few times since September and I last saw him in Roanoke at the beginning of March 2024. We sat in front of each other, in his car before he went into work that Monday night, and he told me, again, that when he thinks of marriage and a future, I’m the only one he pictures a marriage and children with. I’m not saying this to hurt you, or to make a point, I’m saying it because i don’t know what to believe anymore.
I became suspicious of his relationship with you, when he mentioned going to Macchu Picchu and hiking through the mountains. As all women have the ability to find out details they might later regret, I did the same thing. Except I didn’t believe he had actually gone to Macchu Picchu. I knew his passport had been long expired since around or before COVID, and I knew he had renewed it before he went to London. But that was when I realized you were the girl in the photo that Nicole posted. When I confronted him about Macchu Picchu, he told me he had been joking and he had also already told me he’d been joking. He had NEVER told me it was a joke, he had actually refused to show me photos when I asked him for pictures from the trip… he had then proceeded to change the topic, which is what had even raised red flags in my head.
My point is, I have asked him point blank so many times whether you two have a relationship. You tell me you still love me, that you picture marriage and a family with me, but this girl is a part of your life, and you took her to a wedding with you, while I was on a trip with my siblings, you took her to London with you, and you continue to tell me she’s just a friend. I asked him again on Tuesday night/Wednesday Morning after he left work, if you two are dating, and he said no. He asked me why I’m so hyper-fixated on somebody who’s just a friend when he has a million other female friends.
In September, he told me he needed a month to clear his head, that he wanted to commit to me, but he was afraid and that he needed to get over the fear and roadblock of our past break up. I gave him grace and understood. So we took a 4 week break. Some time during that time period, he sent me a snap of doves, and said “doves, and swans mate for life.” He sent me Ed Sheeran songs telling me he wants to find his way back to me. “No Strings Attached… you are the one I love”
In November, he messaged me and told me he had a surprise for me and to look for something in the mail. He loves the Count of Monte Carlo, it’s one of his favorite movies, and he told me it was in reference to that. A few weeks later I got a candle, a silver 400 dollar Buddha candle from Thomson Ferrier. I didn’t understand the reference to the Count of Monte Carlo, but it was a beautiful gesture and present… especially because he knew how much little gestures from him mean to me.
Fast forward to January, I got another 350 dollar black skull candle from him, from Thomson Ferrier. At this point I was upset, angry and livid. I called my sister in tears that evening. I had come back to him because he told me he loved me, that he “has a fire that burns so deeply” when he thinks of me. If i had known that wasn’t true, i would have closed the chapter a year and a half ago. I don’t want $700 worth of gifts and candles, I want more. I want marriage, I want children, I want our lives to move forward, I want communication. Out of anger, I packed up the candle, his sweatshirts and clothes that he had left at my place this past year, and mailed them back to his house. I’m sure it’s sitting somewhere in his basement closet/ bedroom… along with his white Huq sweatshirt, a picture of us I had up in my house, and various articles of clothing.
What upsets me is that he didn’t just involve me this year, he involved my family. He sent my mom presents, my parents in return sent him gifts. My sister, parents and cousins messaged him asking him to come around more. There was no point in involving my family, if he was going to involve himself with you. There was no point in involving himself with me, if he was going to involve himself with you. Those leather Indian shoes sitting in his room, my dad bought those for him. That blue sweater, those green pants and that maroon shirt, my parents bought those for him just this last year.
I don’t know what he’s told you about me, but I will say this. I was your age when we started dating. I was 29 years old. He was single, that’s what everyone in our residency program thought. He would tell everyone how Shari left him one day, all of a sudden just got up and left. “I saw the look behind her eyes just change when she looked at me.” He would tell everyone his horrific dating stories. When i started dating him, there was no doubt in my mind he was single… but I was wrong. He wasn’t single, he was dating Devon, one of the nurses from Carilion, and he had been for the past 4 years prior to that. At one point when he moved to Norfolk, she had even moved in with him. Even Shari was visiting him in Norfolk during this time period. I would have never suspected it, nobody in our residency program did. It wasn’t until one day, when he told me his friends were visiting from home, and they were all going to a concert together, that I found out. Her profile picture was of the two of them together, and her Facebook relationship status said “in a relationship.” Out of my own naivety, i believed him when he told me she was crazy and obsessed with him. He told me, to him, they were just friends but she wanted more. Women do a lot of things, but no woman is dumb enough to think she’s your girlfriend when she’s not. When we moved back to our hometowns, Devon was there waiting for him. He disappeared one day for 24 hours, told me that he was helping his dad’s friend who was stranded in NC. A year and a half later, i would find out that was a lie and that he had been at a concert Florida Georgia Line concert with her. She had been visiting his grandmother with him, staying at his parents home. The irony is that a few weeks after he took her, he took me to the same concert in Scranton. Him and his family didn’t bat an eye when a month later, I showed up and was the “new girlfriend.”
Eventually Devon found out about his lies and left him, but again, stupid me thought she was a crazy girl who just wanted so badly to be with him, that she built their relationship up in her head.
Dignity, respect for humans, empathy, are the most important qualities in a human being.
What I don’t wish is for you to be in my spot in 5 years. He will paint you in his colors, make you fall in love with MB20, and take you to Augustana concerts, he’ll tell you that you understand him, and his heart in a way that nobody else does. He’ll bond with you over music, and send you songs that make you feel he’s talking about you. He is so good at making you feel seen, and involving you with his family. He’ll say he had a vision of a girl that looks like you, coming into his life, and here you are, his soul mate. And one day, the same way that Shari, Devon and I got lost in him, the reality of everything will come pouring down on you. Be careful, there are signs between the lines, and the smiles, and good times. Make sure you don’t miss those, whatever you decide.
My relationship with him, started off just like yours. Another girl on the periphery, and teetering the line of inappropriate. Everything you call him out on, will always have an excuse, and you will believe him because he’s the “good guy” who goes above and beyond for people.
I don’t wish for any woman to go through the pain I’ve gone through, the manipulation, the lies and the emotional abuse. I can’t tell you what to do, but I will say, be careful and don’t be blind to the small things that will one day become huge. The novelty will fade, and though Jared isn’t the devil, he has a lot of growing up to do at 40. It was not okay to toy with me and drag me through the mud this year. It wasn’t okay to minimize his relationship with you and lie to me about it. It’s not okay to, to this day claim to see a life with me and not commit to it. I deserve better, and you deserve better.
How men talk about their ex’s and other women is an indication about how they will one day talk about and treat you. That is the worst and best lesson i have learned. I’m 34, years of my life wasted, and he took another year of my life knowing full well, this is how it would end. He’s sat on the phone with me for hours talking about how stupid PA’s are and if you were going to not be a doctor, at least become an NP, who has better bedside knowledge. Why would he say that, because i suppose you’re a PA and it minimizes the significance of even having a relationship with somebody who isn’t as intelligent as he is. The lack of respect will always be there, you just have to look for it.
Dishonesty, and manipulation are a plague, and if that’s who you are at 40, it is who you will always be unless you recognize that something needs to change. Where there is no accountability, there can be no change. I’m not the exception, I’m the same as the two girls before me. He’ll show you text messages where he never responded to me, even though he replies on Snapchat where every thing is erased. I cannot believe i didn’t see the signs. He will make me look crazy and laugh at me, the same way he showed me messages from Jen, and Elisabeth, and Devon, and made them sound crazy to me. I guess that’s his MO. The same way he told me you were nothing to him.
I was going to send you this message, two months ago… i then decided not to because he convinced me he wasn’t dating you… I saw him less than a month ago in Roanoke, i begged him to tell me that he was in a relationship with you. He said he wasn’t, again, he told me he was going to a wedding alone with only Ryan and that he wasn’t taking you. I then begged him to tell me that we were done and that he didn’t love me anymore. His response was idk what’s going to happen a year from now, i know I’ll see you again. His response every time has been when im ready for a relationship, emotionally, do you want me to finally let you know? I don’t care to be with him anymore. I’m so over it but i really think you should know the type of person you’re dealing with.
He has put me through so much hell for a year and a half of my life, stringing me along acting like he’s doing me a favor while he works on his own mental health and claims to still love me when we are together.”
TLDR: my SO’s ex messaged me saying he’s been seeing both of us for the past year and a half. Has anybody experienced this before. She sent me pictures from the past year of them and their text exchanges

He has put me through so much hell for a year and a half of my life, stringing me along acting like he’s doing me a favor while he works on his own mental health and claims to still love me when we are together.”
TLDR: my SO’s ex messaged me saying he’s been seeing both of us for the past year and a half. Has anybody experienced this before. She sent me pictures from the past year of them and their text exchanges

2024.05.13 19:32 elsa78910 Long message, should I believe the ex? Or is she lying

His ex sent me this message, should I believe it? I don’t know what to do. Sorry the message is really long!
“It’s been over a year of me wondering whether I should just come out and ask you or message you… but being afraid that if I do, and I’m wrong, it’ll be a the biggest mistake of my life. I have begged and begged him to tell me what you are to him, and he denies having anything more than a platonic friendship with you.
I want to preface this message with, I have no ill will towards you, I just want some answers… answers I don’t believe I’m going to get from Jared. I don’t know if he’s mentioned anything about me. So here goes…
November 2022, I sent Jared an email, telling him I loved him, missed him, and though I didn’t require a response back, I wanted him to know how sorry I was for everything that had happened and things had ended. He responded with a lengthy email telling me he still fervently loved me and how he too was sorry for how things had ended. That email lead to the last year and a half of events.
December 2022, I drove down to Roanoke and surprised him at the Carilion garage. He left the hospital as fast as he could that night, and we spent the rest of that evening together, catching up, and he left for Key West two days later. Two weeks later, he came up to DC and we had a late birthday celebration for him at Clyde’s in Georgetown and went to see A Christmas Carol at the Ford Theater. A few weeks later we drove to Jersey to see Matchbox20, by now it was the end of January 2023. Almost every week off, for the last year, he would come up and see me, if even for only two days, or I would drive down to Roanoke and spend the week with him. We spoke about our past, the hurt, and future, he told me numerous times that when he pictured marriage and children, it was only with me, but he needed time. This part is important, and I’ll come back to it later. We celebrated my birthday at a restaurant in Navy Yard, two weeks before you guys left for London. Chris video chatted with that night while we were at the restaurant eating Wagyu, and they discussed the new shipment of sunglasses Chris had gotten for Miggieswear.
The weekend of the Super Bowl, he had come seen me earlier that week, the day after he left I came to Roanoke and left the day of the Super Bowl. He told me his parents were having a viewing party and he had to go home and cook. I’m now assuming he left my Airbnb and came to your place.
That February he planned a trip to London, with Nicole, Ryan and Chris, and what he told me were, Nicole’s “friends.” Nicole happened to post a picture of you guys sitting on the plane and I was shocked, why would Nicole’s friend be sitting between him and Ryan. I sent him a message while you were on that 6 hour flight, telling him that if he had been seeing somebody, then why didn’t he tell me? There was no point in us spending time together if he had moved on. His response to me was “do you even know what you’re looking at? I’m surprised you don’t recognize her, that’s Nicole’s friend. You’re jumping to a lot of conclusions right now and don’t know what you’re talking about.” Something in my gut didn’t believe it but I wanted to trust that, so I did. I put you out of sight, out of mind. When he got back, he told me how he wished I’d been there with him, we both love history and old buildings, it’s a place we would have found magical together. I don’t know who came up with the idea of going to London, but part of me always thinks I’m the one who put it there when I shared the pictures i had taken when I went there the year we had been no contact.
We went to a Kenny Chesney concert in Charlottesville that March when I got back from my family trip to India, and he got back from London. Between work, us both traveling with our families, we were excited to see one another. We were going to go to St Augustine, but because of the weather, we stayed in Roanoke and saw Kenny Chesney in Charlottesville. The original plan had been to spend the night in Charlottesville at a hotel, but we couldn’t get one last minute so we ended up driving back to Roanoke and sneaking into the basement at his parents house and sleeping in his bed at 3am.
A few months later, we went to Richmond, and stayed the weekend, exploring the city, and watched Hamilton at the Altria Theater. A few months after that, we went to Savannah and Atlanta, where he got a flat tire driving into the garage, and spent the rest of the weekend at a yoga retreat. July, he asked me to go to Boston with him and his brother, for 4th or July weekend, but I couldn’t because my siblings were in town. Every single week, he came down and either stayed with me, or made a quick trip to spend time with me…
This past September, I found out he took you to Justin’s wedding, and I broke. I needed more from him. I have known him, been intimate with him, shared my every fear, worry, I have brought him home cooked meals from DC and surprised him at work with dinner, I’ve made him care packages. I’ve made Ryan Easter baskets and sent him birthday presents and encouraged Jared to put him in academic classes, I’ve helped Jared look into private schools for Ryan, and weighed the pros and cons of the options. I had no expectations in return from him other than, at the very least, a mutual respect and HONESTY.
I’ve seen him quite a few times since September and I last saw him in Roanoke at the beginning of March 2024. We sat in front of each other, in his car before he went into work that Monday night, and he told me, again, that when he thinks of marriage and a future, I’m the only one he pictures a marriage and children with. I’m not saying this to hurt you, or to make a point, I’m saying it because i don’t know what to believe anymore.
I became suspicious of his relationship with you, when he mentioned going to Macchu Picchu and hiking through the mountains. As all women have the ability to find out details they might later regret, I did the same thing. Except I didn’t believe he had actually gone to Macchu Picchu. I knew his passport had been long expired since around or before COVID, and I knew he had renewed it before he went to London. But that was when I realized you were the girl in the photo that Nicole posted. When I confronted him about Macchu Picchu, he told me he had been joking and he had also already told me he’d been joking. He had NEVER told me it was a joke, he had actually refused to show me photos when I asked him for pictures from the trip… he had then proceeded to change the topic, which is what had even raised red flags in my head.
My point is, I have asked him point blank so many times whether you two have a relationship. You tell me you still love me, that you picture marriage and a family with me, but this girl is a part of your life, and you took her to a wedding with you, while I was on a trip with my siblings, you took her to London with you, and you continue to tell me she’s just a friend. I asked him again on Tuesday night/Wednesday Morning after he left work, if you two are dating, and he said no. He asked me why I’m so hyper-fixated on somebody who’s just a friend when he has a million other female friends.
In September, he told me he needed a month to clear his head, that he wanted to commit to me, but he was afraid and that he needed to get over the fear and roadblock of our past break up. I gave him grace and understood. So we took a 4 week break. Some time during that time period, he sent me a snap of doves, and said “doves, and swans mate for life.” He sent me Ed Sheeran songs telling me he wants to find his way back to me. “No Strings Attached… you are the one I love”
In November, he messaged me and told me he had a surprise for me and to look for something in the mail. He loves the Count of Monte Carlo, it’s one of his favorite movies, and he told me it was in reference to that. A few weeks later I got a candle, a silver 400 dollar Buddha candle from Thomson Ferrier. I didn’t understand the reference to the Count of Monte Carlo, but it was a beautiful gesture and present… especially because he knew how much little gestures from him mean to me.
Fast forward to January, I got another 350 dollar black skull candle from him, from Thomson Ferrier. At this point I was upset, angry and livid. I called my sister in tears that evening. I had come back to him because he told me he loved me, that he “has a fire that burns so deeply” when he thinks of me. If i had known that wasn’t true, i would have closed the chapter a year and a half ago. I don’t want $700 worth of gifts and candles, I want more. I want marriage, I want children, I want our lives to move forward, I want communication. Out of anger, I packed up the candle, his sweatshirts and clothes that he had left at my place this past year, and mailed them back to his house. I’m sure it’s sitting somewhere in his basement closet/ bedroom… along with his white Huq sweatshirt, a picture of us I had up in my house, and various articles of clothing.
What upsets me is that he didn’t just involve me this year, he involved my family. He sent my mom presents, my parents in return sent him gifts. My sister, parents and cousins messaged him asking him to come around more. There was no point in involving my family, if he was going to involve himself with you. There was no point in involving himself with me, if he was going to involve himself with you. Those leather Indian shoes sitting in his room, my dad bought those for him. That blue sweater, those green pants and that maroon shirt, my parents bought those for him just this last year.
I don’t know what he’s told you about me, but I will say this. I was your age when we started dating. I was 29 years old. He was single, that’s what everyone in our residency program thought. He would tell everyone how Shari left him one day, all of a sudden just got up and left. “I saw the look behind her eyes just change when she looked at me.” He would tell everyone his horrific dating stories. When i started dating him, there was no doubt in my mind he was single… but I was wrong. He wasn’t single, he was dating Devon, one of the nurses from Carilion, and he had been for the past 4 years prior to that. At one point when he moved to Norfolk, she had even moved in with him. Even Shari was visiting him in Norfolk during this time period. I would have never suspected it, nobody in our residency program did. It wasn’t until one day, when he told me his friends were visiting from home, and they were all going to a concert together, that I found out. Her profile picture was of the two of them together, and her Facebook relationship status said “in a relationship.” Out of my own naivety, i believed him when he told me she was crazy and obsessed with him. He told me, to him, they were just friends but she wanted more. Women do a lot of things, but no woman is dumb enough to think she’s your girlfriend when she’s not. When we moved back to our hometowns, Devon was there waiting for him. He disappeared one day for 24 hours, told me that he was helping his dad’s friend who was stranded in NC. A year and a half later, i would find out that was a lie and that he had been at a concert Florida Georgia Line concert with her. She had been visiting his grandmother with him, staying at his parents home. The irony is that a few weeks after he took her, he took me to the same concert in Scranton. Him and his family didn’t bat an eye when a month later, I showed up and was the “new girlfriend.”
Eventually Devon found out about his lies and left him, but again, stupid me thought she was a crazy girl who just wanted so badly to be with him, that she built their relationship up in her head.
Dignity, respect for humans, empathy, are the most important qualities in a human being.
What I don’t wish is for you to be in my spot in 5 years. He will paint you in his colors, make you fall in love with MB20, and take you to Augustana concerts, he’ll tell you that you understand him, and his heart in a way that nobody else does. He’ll bond with you over music, and send you songs that make you feel he’s talking about you. He is so good at making you feel seen, and involving you with his family. He’ll say he had a vision of a girl that looks like you, coming into his life, and here you are, his soul mate. And one day, the same way that Shari, Devon and I got lost in him, the reality of everything will come pouring down on you. Be careful, there are signs between the lines, and the smiles, and good times. Make sure you don’t miss those, whatever you decide.
My relationship with him, started off just like yours. Another girl on the periphery, and teetering the line of inappropriate. Everything you call him out on, will always have an excuse, and you will believe him because he’s the “good guy” who goes above and beyond for people.
I don’t wish for any woman to go through the pain I’ve gone through, the manipulation, the lies and the emotional abuse. I can’t tell you what to do, but I will say, be careful and don’t be blind to the small things that will one day become huge. The novelty will fade, and though Jared isn’t the devil, he has a lot of growing up to do at 40. It was not okay to toy with me and drag me through the mud this year. It wasn’t okay to minimize his relationship with you and lie to me about it. It’s not okay to, to this day claim to see a life with me and not commit to it. I deserve better, and you deserve better.
How men talk about their ex’s and other women is an indication about how they will one day talk about and treat you. That is the worst and best lesson i have learned. I’m 34, years of my life wasted, and he took another year of my life knowing full well, this is how it would end. He’s sat on the phone with me for hours talking about how stupid PA’s are and if you were going to not be a doctor, at least become an NP, who has better bedside knowledge. Why would he say that, because i suppose you’re a PA and it minimizes the significance of even having a relationship with somebody who isn’t as intelligent as he is. The lack of respect will always be there, you just have to look for it.
Dishonesty, and manipulation are a plague, and if that’s who you are at 40, it is who you will always be unless you recognize that something needs to change. Where there is no accountability, there can be no change. I’m not the exception, I’m the same as the two girls before me. He’ll show you text messages where he never responded to me, even though he replies on Snapchat where every thing is erased. I cannot believe i didn’t see the signs. He will make me look crazy and laugh at me, the same way he showed me messages from Jen, and Elisabeth, and Devon, and made them sound crazy to me. I guess that’s his MO. The same way he told me you were nothing to him.
I was going to send you this message, two months ago… i then decided not to because he convinced me he wasn’t dating you… I saw him less than a month ago in Roanoke, i begged him to tell me that he was in a relationship with you. He said he wasn’t, again, he told me he was going to a wedding alone with only Ryan and that he wasn’t taking you. I then begged him to tell me that we were done and that he didn’t love me anymore. His response was idk what’s going to happen a year from now, i know I’ll see you again. His response every time has been when im ready for a relationship, emotionally, do you want me to finally let you know? I don’t care to be with him anymore. I’m so over it but i really think you should know the type of person you’re dealing with.
He has put me through so much hell for a year and a half of my life, stringing me along acting like he’s doing me a favor while he works on his own mental health and claims to still love me when we are together.”

2024.05.13 05:13 Lovelyterry Having trouble with Ron Goldman

Can you help me break down the timeline of Ron Goldman on the night of his killing? I get confused about the timing of him making it over to Nicole’s house; do you suppose he had been over for some time when OJ arrived? Or did he walk up and interrupt oj and Nicole talking? I mean the timing of him going over there and OJ going over to kill Nicole is crazy coincidental to me. They couldn’t have overlapped for much time at all, right? And OJ had no way to know Ron would be going over to drop off the glasses that had been left at the restaurant. But OJ clearly was going to Nicole’s to kill her, the knife and gloves suggest that. But I still wonder how it went down with Ron. I’d appreciate your theories.
Thank you

2024.05.06 19:59 Connect_Rope_4125 If Nicole allows O.J. to go to Mezzaluna or a different restaurant? Does she get murdered eventually?

I think O.J was ok with Nicole and him not being together before that because she used to tell him she missed him and things. When O.J. realized that she was going to be able to do the things she wanted to do WITHOUT HIM. It was the final straw.
He liked being able to kiss up to Judith and Lou Brown and charm the people he loved. He put on his best act at the recital and expected that would be enough to get back in.. Nicole said no. If she says yes, are she and Ron still alive?

He waited for him and his two roommates, 54 year old Florence Marks and 34 year old David Kaplan, to return home and shot and stabbed them all to death. Marks was also raped in the attack.

84. James Patterson (1987-2002, lethal injection): Patterson held his friend's mother, 56 year old Joyce Aldridge, in her home at knifepoint.

Kasi then fled to Afghanistan, but was lured into his native Pakistan to be captured in a joint FBI-CIA led operation, and extradited back to the United States to face trial.
88. Earl Bramblett (~1970s(?)-2003, electric chair): Bramblett had molested 11 year old Winter Hodges and feared that her parents, 41 year old William and 37 year old Teresa, were planning on reporting him to the police. In an attempt to prevent that from happening, he attacked the family in their home. Teresa was strangled, while William, Winter, and another daughter, 3 year old Anah, were shot dead. Bramblett then set the house on fire to destroy any evidence of the murders. He had several abuse allegations and was also suspected in the 1977 disappearances of two 14 year old girls, Tammy Akers and Angela Rader, that worked for him, but was never charged for any of them.
89. Bobby Swisher (1997-2003, lethal injection): Swisher abducted 22 year old Dawn Snyder from her flower shop at knife point and raped her. He slashed Snyder's throat and dumped her into a nearby river. Despite managing to swim back to shore, Snyder succumbed to her injuries on the river bank.
90. Brian Cherrix (1994-2004, lethal injection): Cherrix ambushed 23 year old Tessa Van Hart while she was trying to deliver a pizza. He sodomized and shot Van Hart twice in the head, and left the body in her car. The crime was left unsolved until Cherrix was arrested for shooting and wounded his brother two years later. In an attempt to secure leniency, Cherrix disclosed some details of Van Hart's murder, but tried pinning it on a deceased cousin. He only confessed when investigators learned that the cousin couldn't have possibly done it.
91. Dennis Orbe (1998-2004, lethal injection): Orbe fatally shot Richard Burnett, a 39 year old clerk, while robbing a grocery store, and seized $90 from the register.
92. Mark Bailey (1998-2004, lethal injection): Bailey shot and killed his wife, 22 year old Katherine, and their 2 year old son, Nathan, while they were laying in bed. He claimed to investigators that the murders were done out of anger for Katherine's alleged infidelity.
93. James Hudson (2002-2004, lethal injection): In a feud over a driveway, Hudson broke into the home of the Cole family (consisting of brothers, 64 year old Thomas and 56 year old Walter, and Thomas' wife, 64 year old Patsy) to confront them with a shotgun. He shot all three of the Coles dead and drove away from the scene. Hudson was captured after nearly a day long manhunt.
94. James Reid (1996-2004, lethal injection): Reid stabbed 87 year old Annie Lester 22 times with a pair of scissors, beat her with a can of milk, and strangled her with the cord of a heating pad. He left the body in her bedroom and fled her house. Although the evidence for his guilt was overwhelming (which included the blood on his clothes matched Lester's DNA, several of his fingerprints were discovered on the murder weapons, samples of his saliva were found on a cigarette butt in her house, and his handwriting was identical to the writing of a death threat sent to Lester), Reid's death sentence and execution was contested on the grounds of him allegedly having brain damage from a car accident, seizures, and alcoholism. The motivations behind Lester's murder remain unknown, but prosecutors suspected that it might have been part of a bungled robbery or rape attempt.
95. Dexter Vinson (1997-2006, lethal injection): Vinson attacked his ex girlfriend, 25 year old Angela Felton, near her home. Felton tried to escape by driving away, but he rammed her car with his, and forced her inside it. She was then dragged into a vacant house, raped, beaten, and stabbed in the face, neck, arms, buttocks, stomach, and vagina. The body was left in the house as Vinson fled the scene.
96. Brandon Hedrick (1997-2006, electric chair): Hendrick kidnapped a sex worker, 23 year old Lisa Crider, while he was cruising for prostitutes. Initially, Crider and Hendrick had engaged in paid consensual relations, but the situation turned violent when he robbed her of $50 at gunpoint. She was then raped, shot in the face, and dumped into a river.
97. Michael Lenz (~1990s-2006, lethal injection): While serving 29 years for a burglary and weapons possession conviction, Lenz stabbed a fellow inmate, 41 year old Brent Parker, to death. Both were part of a Nordic Neopaganism sect, and the killing was committed over Parker allegedly not expressing enough devotion to their deities. Parker was serving a life sentence for killing a friend during a drunken rage at the time of his own murder.
98. John Schmitt (1999-2006, lethal injection): During a holdup of a bank, Schmitt shot and killed the guard, 39 year old Shelton Dunning, and took $35,000 from the vaults.
99. Kevin Green (1998-2008, lethal injection): Green and his teenage nephew stormed a convenience store, and forced the owners, 68 year old Lawrence Vaughan and his wife, 53 year old Patricia, to hand over $9,000 in cash. They then shot the couple, killing Patricia and wounding Lawrence.
100. Robert Yarbrough (1997-2008, lethal injection): Yarbrough and his accomplice tied up 77 year old Cyril Hamby while robbing his grocery store. They subjected Hamby to beatings and nearly decapitated him with a pocket knife. The pair then stole beer, wine, cigarettes, and an undisclosed amount of money.
101. Kent Jackson (2000-2008, lethal injection): Jackson and an accomplice attacked 79 year old Beulah Kaiser in her apartment, and raped her. She was stabbed several times in the neck, beaten, and her cane was shoved down her throat after she was anally penetrated with it. A cigarette butt found at the crime scene was traced to the pair.
102. Christopher Emmett (2001-2008, lethal injection): Emmett was staying at a motel room with a coworker, 43 year old John Langley, while they were working on an out of town roofing job. The pair played cards until Langley went to bed. As he slept, Emmett bludgeoned him to death with a lamp, and stole $100 from his wallet. He used the stolen money to buy crack cocaine.
103. Edward Bell (~1990s-2008, lethal injection): While running away from officers trying to arrest him for a parole violation, Bell shot and killed one of his pursers, 32 year old Sergeant Ricky Timbrook. Bell had a long criminal record, which included several felony and misdemeanor convictions of assault, burglary, carrying conceal weapons, and was found to have stolen a car during the investigations of Timbrook's murder.
104. John Muhammad (~1999-2008, lethal injection): The so called “D.C. Sniper”, Muhammad shot and killed 17 random people between the ages of 21-76 with the help of a teenage accomplice in mostly sniper attacks. The killings took place in the national capital, hence the epithet, and across several states. Due to his affiliation with the Nation of Islam and the accomplice’s accounts of planning terrorist attacks and training camps, Muhammad’s murder spree are often considered to be acts of Islamic extremism in the media. However, experts believe that his real intentions was to kill his estranged wife using the sniper attacks as a mask. Muhammad had a long history of domestic violence, and had abducted his children from his estranged wife on numerous occasions. His accomplice had also accused him of sexual abuse a few years after his execution.
105. Larry Elliott (2001-2008, electric chair): Elliott, a former military counterintelligence agent, was in an online "sugar daddy" relationship with a much younger woman. At the woman's request, Elliott sent her over $450,000, which she used to pay for a home, credit card, car, breast enhancement surgery, and enrolling her children in a private school. The woman was also involved with a bitter custody dispute with her children's father, 30 year old Robert Finch. In an attempt to win the woman's devotion, Elliott shot and killed Finch in his home, and beat Finch's girlfriend, 25 year old Dana Thrall, to death with the butt of his gun.
106. Paul Powell (1999-2010, electric chair): Angry that his friend, 16 year old Stacie Reed, was in an interracial relationship, Powell made an attempt to rape her in her home. When she fought back, Powell stabbed her to death. He also tied up Stacie's 14 year old sister to be raped, stabbed, and strangled, and left the girl to die in the family's basement. The sister managed to survive with the timely arrival of their stepfather, who called the police and the paramedics to the scene. On the mistaken belief that the death penalty was off the table, Powell sent letters flaunting the lewd details of the murder to taunt the prosecutors, judge, and the victims’ family.
107. Darick Walker (~1996-2010, lethal injection): In 1996, Walker walked up to the door of 36 year old Stanley Beale, and angrily accused him of showing up at his home despite the fact that they were complete strangers. He then shot Beale dead in front of his children and girlfriend, and ran away from the scene. A year later, Walker forced himself into an apartment, and shot 34 year old Clarence Threat seven times while he was laying in bed with his girlfriend. Walker had a history of violence and frequently stole from his friends and family. In one reported incident, he kicked the stomach of a pregnant woman in an act of rage.
108. Teresa Lewis (2002-2010, lethal injection): Lewis conspired with two men that she had a sexual relationship with to kill her husband, 51 year old Julian, and her stepson, 25 year old Charles. Charles was about to be deployed to participate in the then upcoming invasion of Iraq, which gave him a $250,000 life insurance policy that Lewis wanted to collect from both him and his father. She let her accomplices inside their trailer, and shot Julian and Charles while they were sleeping. Charles was killed immediately, while Julian, who witnessed Lewis pay the attackers, survived long enough to notify the responders of his wife's involvement.
109. Jerry Jackson (2001-2011, lethal injection): Jackson broke into the apartment of 88 year old Ruth Phillips, and woke her up while he was rummaging through her room. Despite Phillips' pleas for her life, Jackson raped her and suffocated her to death with a pillow. He stole her car and a total of $60 in the break in, and spent the stolen money on marijuana.
110. Robert Gleason (2007+(?)-2013, electric chair): In 2007, Gleason shot and killed 54 year old Michael Jamerson, in order to prevent him from testifying about his drug trafficking activities, and was given a life sentence for the murder. While incarcerated, he tied up and strangled his cellmate, 63 year old Harvey Watson (who serving a life sentence for a mass shooting). Prison officials then transferred him to a high security prison to await trial for Watson’s murder, but he managed to strangle another inmate, 26 year old Aaron Cooper (who was serving 34 years for robbery), to death with the wire that separated their cages. Gleason demanded the death penalty, which was given to him by the courts. He also claimed that he committed several other killings before Jamerson, but his additional confessions currently remain unverifiable.
111. Alfredo Prieto (~1984-2015, lethal injection): Prieto was both a serial killer of young women and a member of the Pomona Northside street gang. His sexual crimes involved the abductions, rapes, and shooting deaths of at least 4 females, 24 year old Tina Jefferson, 22 year old Rachael Raver, 19 year old Stacey Siegrist, and 15 year old Yvette Woodruff. Raver and Siegrist’s partners, 22 year old Warren Fulton III and 21 year old Anthony Gianuzzi, were also murdered during their kidnappings. The other known victims, 27 year old Manuel Sermeno, and couple, 71 year old Lula and 65 year old Herbert Farley, were shot dead during robberies. In the home invasion that killed Woodruff, Prieto and his fellow gang members also abducted her 17 year old friend and the friend’s 33 year old mother. The mother and daughter pair were gang-raped, shot and stabbed together, but they managed to escape with their lives. Prieto was sentenced to death in both California and Virginia, but stayed in California’s San Quentin until his death warrant was signed in Virginia. He had also shot and injured 3 gang members over his suspicions of them sleeping with his wife, but was lightly sentenced due to the victims' gang affiliations.
112. Ricky Gray (~2005-2017, lethal injection): Gray and his similarly aged nephew murdered at least 9 people, which composed of a lone woman, 35 year old Treva Gray, and two entire families, the Harveys (consisting of parents, 49 year old Bryan and 39 year old Kathryn, and their daughters, 9 year old Stella and 4 year old Ruby), and the Baskerville-Tuckers (consisting of 21 year old Ashley, her 46 year old mother Mary, and Mary’s 55 year old husband Percyell) in a week long burglary spree. Almost all of the victims were tied up and gagged in their homes, and beaten to death with hammers or had their throats slit. Before she was killed by them with her parents, victim Ashley Baskerville had assisted Gray and his nephew in several of their robberies. The pair stole any items and valuables they could carry, and were reported to have taken money, computers, television sets, wedding rings, and even cookies. They were also linked to several non fatal assaults, one of which involved a 26 year old man being beaten into a coma.
113. William Morva (~2005-2017, lethal injection): Morva, a son of Hungarian immigrants, and an accomplice were arrested while trying rob a grocery store at gunpoint. While awaiting trial, he badly sprained his ankle and wrist in prison, and was transferred to the Montgomery Regional Hospital for treatment. He overpowered a deputy guarding him with a metal toilet-paper container, stole his gun, fatally shot Derrick McFarland, a 25 year old hospital security guard, and escaped. Morva then fled to Virginia Tech’s campus, and shot and killed 40 year old Eric Sutphin, one of the police officers chasing him.

2024.05.06 04:06 Danpisaacson On the fence

I was in HS when the trial occurred and I was the only one in the auditorium who expressed relief when the verdict was read aloud. At the time, I had serious concerns about the blood evidence and the timeline, and grave concerns about Jason.
Since then, really within the last month or so as I’ve revisited the case, following OJs sickness and death, I’ve rewatched some documentaries, listened to Kim’s podcast, and read the transcripts. What I’ve come away with is the closest I’ve ever been to feeling OJ is guilty of the crime. But there are gaps that I cannot recall if they were proven or not.
I’m hoping that you all can help with the issues I have had and it might finally solidify it one way or the other.
Issue 1: The Blood; where it was, and where it wasn’t.
This is a big problem. Each side seems to be trying to minimize their side to bolster their theory. The State argues it was a horrifyingly bloody scene, enough to cover the assailants socks, shoes and gloves, and presumably their pants and shirt as it stands logically that blood that would soak one would not skip the other. But for someone covered in it, enough to smear inside the Bronco, there wasn’t enough to make more than the smears and despite there being deeply soaked footprints, no blood was found on the floorboards or pedals needed to drive the Bronco. Why no blood from a dripping finger cut on the steering wheel?
It seems to me that if you’re covered in the blood, you’d leave, not glancing smears, but standing small pools. Assuming he was wearing enough blood so as to leave smears only inside the bronco. Why once Simpson got to Rockingham, and hopped the 8’ fence, there was no blood or fibers on that fence? It would be impossible for a man if his age and condition to overtake that fence without sliding across it. That would smear it with his DNA, and definitely leave blood transfers.
The only thing that seems to explain this is that Simpson changed his clothes prior to getting in the bronco. The problem with that is the at would assume the crime was premeditated, which seems unlikely as it gave a very small window of time to commit the crime and get back to Rockingham unseen. Also choosing a pair of shoes that only 230 people had in the world isn’t something you logically would do if you’re planning it out.
Jason Simpson remains a very hard fact to overlook for me. To date I’ve heard the State dismiss him outright, but never specifically refute the evidence against him. Again, I don’t have a problem laying blame at OJ; I personally think he was a horrible person, but I can’t get past this.
Jason had a history of violence, mental illness and stopped taking his medications. He had access to the murder weapon type and a criminal history using a knife to assault someone. His journals showed a rage centered on others and a fear he had he’d hurt someone. He had motive, given Nicole’s dismissal of his achievements. He had opportunity and no alibi as his time card was the only one that was hand written when others were electronic punched. And he drove a jeep that could have had much more blood in it.
One curious note for me was that the first person to confront OJ after the chase was Jason, who approached the Bronco and was seen yelling into it before being ushered away by the LAPD. I’ve never heard what was said by the two, and while I don’t think it would have been an admission had Jason played a larger role in the murders, it does make me wonder if in his excited state at the visual of his father about to die by suicide, if he would have uttered something telling. Does anyone have a source for what was said?
OJ hired a defense attorney for Jason the next morning, before he hired on for himself. That has always looked really bad. And lastly, cell phone records not disclosed until after the trial, because they were so new at the time, show Jason called OJ the night of the murders, before OJ talked to his girlfriend, and before his limo to the airport.
What I’ve centered on for years is one of two scenarios:
1:) Jason was angry for Nicole standing him up. He called his father to vent and said he was going over there. OJ tried to talk him out of it, but couldn’t and decided to run over to stop Jason from doing anything stupid.
He got to Nicole’s condo and parked in the back. By then the murders were done. He saw Jason and ushered into the Bronco where Jason admitted he hurt them. The neighbor in a sworn statement saw the bronco with two men sitting inside. OJ, in disbelief, got out and went down the steps of the condo coming upon the bodies and leaving the footprints.
He went back to the Bronco, had Jason give him his clothes and told Jason to get rid of the knife and Jason got in his keep and took off.
OJ drove fast back to Rockingham, saw the limo was early, and looked for a way back inside. He hopped the fence, but first, tossed the bundle of bloody clothes over first. Once over, he banged into the wall alerting Kato, he then grabbed the clothes and ran back into the house, leaving the glove in his haste.
The limo driver saw OJ in dark clothing. If he had the same clothing as he had when the murders were committed, the aforementioned blood transfers would have happened.
OJ ran upstairs leaving drops from the bundle. But nothing significant from his shoes or anything else indicating he was wearing soaked clothes. No blood was found in the drain, indicating a shower didn’t rinse off blood.
Finally, OJ got rid of the clothes on the way to the airport.
What’s required for this is a coverup by the police to plant evidence, primarily the glove and socks which is supported by the animosity in Furman and the sudden appearance of the socks that weren’t there in earlier photographs.
2:) OJ went to Nicole’s after Jason called and told him something that upset him. He parked in the back, went to confront her. She answered the door with a knife and that enraged him. (Supported by OJs agent) He hit her. And then he heard Ron approach, and ducked into the bushes. Ron ran to Nicole’s side, who would have only had minor wounds. This transferred head hair from Nicole to Ron which was found.
OJ came from behind grabbed Ron and stabbed him, Ron spun around taking a glove off. And OJ slashed and stabbed him, punching an artery and causing him to collapse within a minute. OJ then went back to Nicole who was coming back to consciousness and killed her, and then went back to finish Ron.
He opened a wound on his finger he received earlier and dropped small droplets at the scene. And then he left back to bronco.
Jason was there waiting for him, having left the restaurant to stop an angry OJ, and saw what his father did, and Jason and OJ switched clothing. Giving OJ a fresh outfit and shoes so not to transfer large amounts of blood in the bronco. Jason took the clothes and the knife and disposed of it. OJ ran back to Rockingham. And from there cleaned up and flew to Chicago.
This would explain very little blood inside the bronco or house. As OJ likely wouldn’t have thought to take off his socks in the driveway with Jason. It would also explain how shoes covered in blood were never seen again and didn’t leave transfer dna on the carpet in OJs house, as the limo driver would have noticed OJ not wearing shoes.
Jason then disposed of the evidence and was visibly upset with his dad on video after the chase.
This still requires the glove and possibly the socks to be planted, which I do believe happened with at least the glove.
For me, Jason played a role. I can see both easily, and lean toward the second scenario, if for no other reason than it’s hard to see OJ risking life in prison for his son. But I can see Jason keeping quiet since he didn’t play an active role.
Thoughts?

2024.05.03 17:01 CliffEmAll Sweet Sally O'Malley, night 1 of the Chicago Dinosaur improv show was so so good!

Easily the best improv show I've been to. So glad I was able to get a ticket last minute, and in the front row of all things (thank you u/SpiralSlide)!
All of the performers were so amazing. It's been sold out since it as announced in February so it was a packed house on a Thursday night (main room at the Den - I think it holds 300?) which Paul Scheer said "would never happen in LA".
The stories people shared for suggestions were completely unhinged, including a guy who joined the Marines on a dare (and then served for 10 years), a woman who helped an elderly person she was caring for buy a vibrator, and a woman who won a Guinness record for some competition involving getting into a baby pool with a ton of blue cheese (was a little hard to hear).
Anyway, the scenes were fantastic with tons of callbacks and ridiculous characters. There was a runner about Gary, IN being named after a guy named "Gary" which maybe you have to be from the area to appreciate but just killed me repeatedly. I was a bit bummed to not see Jason Mantzoukas but I have to say Nicole Beyer might've stolen the show. I'm not as familiar with her stuff but her characters were just so hilarious.
I had never heard of Owen Burke but he was also a bit of a stand-out for me. Had some of the sillier characters including a man from Gary, IN with an inexplicable accent who injures his genitals in a male masturbator and later becomes Lisa's pet.
Lisa had some amazing moments of course, my favorite being playing a living Noodle at a restaurant called "everything spaghetti" that later turned into a Paternity test style episode of Maury (with Carl Tart as Maury!). She also came in hard to a bit early on where Owen and Seth were pretending to be in the Marines and she decided to be their Sargent and boss them around but kept mixing things up and saying it was all about sailing and "wearing all white." But her confidence/commitment just sold it and made it that much more hilarious. But there were just so many amazing performers (all 9 on stage the whole show!) and scenes happening so they all had to pick their moments judiciously for sure.
To anyone with tickets for the 3 remaining shows, you have my envy, and buckle up as you are in for a wild ride!

2024.05.03 03:48 CLIP_not_well_bitch Which person on a Bravo show would Andy Cohen not recognize if he ran into them on the street?

We all know he has his favorites and the people he barely tolerates, but who would he simply not be able to place out of the context of a Bravo-based setting? I can picture a drunk or stoned AC being approached at a restaurant by Nicole Napolitano or Teresa Aprea (RHONJ, S6) and him wondering if they're fans or someone he should actually know!

2024.04.28 03:56 coffeeguy88888 "But now I really wish they came to the restaurant"

So, one theory goes that Jason was angry the night of the murders. In the 1996 civil case he says he was "kind of hurt" that Nicole decided to go to Mezzaluna, instead of the restaurant he worked at, since it was closemore convenient.
Jason also says, "Now I really wish they came to the restaurant" - referring to Jackson's where he worked as a sous chef.
I wish they had asked him during the Civil trial why he specifically wished that Nicole came to Jackson's. Was it so he could see Nicole one last time? He explicitly says he was feeling hurt about getting snubbed.
At the very least, it's an interesting angle.
Jason's testimony, for reference: http://simpson.walraven.org/js_depo1.html

2024.04.24 19:05 MythDetector I believe Jason Simpson was the real killer and I can convince you as well. Ask any question.

I'll outline the Jason theory and why it makes sense now. There's a book that goes into much more detail by William Dear but I'll give a brief summary.
Jason was OJ's son from his first marriage. He was 24 at the time of the murders. He was working as a chef. The theory is that Jason committed the murders and then went to OJ's house to tell him. Alan Park had seen a mysterious black jeep in the driveway when he arrived. Jason drove a black jeep. They then went over in OJ's bronco. OJ put gloves on, got out the car and went to the scene to see it and to clear things up. The gloves were soaked in blood. So he takes them off and throws them there, something the killer wouldn't do. This also explains his shoeprint in blood. If he was the killer, the blood would still be trickling out when he left. But someone coming after would leave a shoeprint in blood. His presence at the scene explains blood in his car. The distribution of blood in the car suggests another person.
Jason had a rage disorder known as intermittent rage disorder for which he was taking Depakote. He had been arrested 4 times and had been sentenced to 2 years probation for attacking his employer in 1992 and threatening him with a knife. In 1994, he had checked in to Cedars Sinai mental hospital claiming he was hearing voices and was out of his medication. His girlfriend said he stopped taking them about 2 months before the murders. He once pinned one of his girlfriends down and sliced off her hair with a knife and had attacked another girlfriend.
He had written in his diary in 1994 "this is the year of the knife, I will cut away my problems"
There was also blood type B under Nicole's fingernails which weren't a match to OJ, Nicole or Ron.
The knit cap. Unlike OJ, there are many pictures of him wearing a knit cap. A knit cap isn't a disguise, certainly not for OJ. The knit cap also had brown dog hairs in it. Jason owned a light brown dog, OJ didn't. There were African textured hair that weren't a specific match for OJ.
One of the reasons I never believed it was OJ was that he only had a cut on his finger whereas Goldman had dozens of defensive wounds. However, someone who knew Jason had stated in the documentary that he had seen a lot of bruising on Jason's arm soon after the murders.
Jason had said he was working at his restaurant and then was picked up by his girlfriend. However, there are 3 different versions that Jason and his girlfriend had given. In one he said that they went to her house and watched a movie. In another he went to her house but left around 11pm. In another version, he said he just dropped her off and went home to watch TV. And he said he left the restaurant after 10pm but a busboy who worked there said he had not seen him after 9:30pm. Also, he unusually never had his timecard on Monday the 13th of June. So he got a new time card on Tuesday and added Monday's times with a pen. This means he “lost” the time card which showed when he clocked out on Sunday the 12th.
I'll be happy to take questions.
Edit:
People have brought up the presence of OJs blood and DNA at the scene. There's an explanation for this consistent with Jason being the killer and OJ coming to the scene and interacting with it. Someone's DNA can be present at a scene and get mixed with the blood via touch and perspiration. It's also possible that OJ cut his finger while at the scene. He definitely had a cut but no other signs of being in the kind of struggle that Goldman's wounds suggest. Another explanation is that Jason left blood drops and they shared enough markers with OJ for it to be mistaken for OJs blood. This is stated in the book "Killing Time" by Donald Freed and Raymond Briggs, PhD.
Some of the replies have said that OJ would not have protected his son because he was a narcissist. But he hasn't ever been diagnosed with NPD. Assumptions about OJ's character stem from believing him to be guilty and then judging his behaviour as a guilty person with no remorse. So it's not an argument against OJ protecting his son if he's not the killer.

2024.04.24 14:57 Consistent_Leader_50 AITAH for calling out bullying in the workplace?

I (22F) am one of three managers at a local restaurant. I’ve worked at this job for 2.5 years. My other managers are 32F, “Nicole” and 42M “Albert”. Nicole has worked here for 7 years and Albert 15, and they’ve been dating for 5. Part of the reason we all took this job is for the flexibility it provides us, as we don’t adhere to strict codes of conduct. Nicole constantly uses inappropriate and cruel words to describe our other coworkers, often within earshot of them. Or, another coworker will hear it and it will get back to them. During employee evaluations a couple months ago, two of our employees said they feel like it’s high school and everyone is constantly being bullied. Our organization represents itself as a safe place, specifically for outcasts. Last week, we were discussing a new hire who wore an inappropriate outfit to work and Nicole said “you can’t come to work dressed like a hoe!” I immediately rebuked her and said that was completely out of line, especially to say about a 17 yr old. The GM, Albert, heard this and began to walk off. I called out to him, asking if he was going to say anything, and he finally relented and said he would talk to her. The weekend passed and he said he had a conversation with her. Come Monday, and I’m enjoying a day off. I randomly get texted by 3 of my employees who overheard a conversation Nicole had with another worker. She had said “I don’t understand why OP is so mad I called our employee a hoe, when OPs sister works next door and fucks every Tom, Dick, and Harry” I immediately drove to work to have a conversation with Albert, the GM. We fought for quite awhile and decided me, Albert, and Nicole would get together this upcoming weekend and discuss it. I feel awful about it. People at work have been saying I’m an over emotional SJW. I just want them to be fucking KIND at work, and to keep my sisters name out of their mouths. We all love that our job is laid back and not strict, but I can’t help but feel this crossed a professional and personal line. AITAH for making a big deal out of this? And, looking for advice on what to even say during our meeting. I don’t know what excuse Nicole could possibly have for saying that.

2024.04.24 06:10 catlover4682 Is it possible the killers were drug dealers?

Is it possible the killers were drug dealers?
I read online that Ron and Nicole were super into cocaine and owed tons of money, then I found out this other kid Michael Nigg worked at the same restaurant as Rob and was likely killed for the same reason. Are these cases connected? Was OJ actually innocent?! I’ve never even heard that Ron and Nicole were coke addicts, was their demise actually drug related and not OJ?!
