On June 12, 1994 the world was alerted to a crime scene in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles where two bodies were discovered brutally murdered. The difference in this case was that one of the victims was Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of NFL star OJ Simpson and the other victim was a friend of Nicole's named Ron Goldman, and to make it more intriguing, OJ was the prime suspect.  The events that took place were right out of a Hollywood production studio, from the manhunt for OJ, to the white Bronco car chase on Live TV, to the circus of "The Trial of the Century".  This case not only divided the city of Los Angeles, but also parts of the country.  You couldn't escape it, it was everywhere, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and there was no end in site.  The trial was seen around the world, and when the verdict was read, it divided neighborhoods even more.

Did OJ do it?, did anyone help him?, and the countless other questions will all be addressed on this episode of GOLD SHIELDS.

Along with Crime Scene and Cold Case expert Sheryl McCollum, and retired LAPD Robbery/Homicide Detective Barry Telis we dive deep into this historical case, with some interesting perspectives and analysis.

This was the ultimate True Crime case, so don't miss Episode 75 of

GOLD SHIELDS, where we relive this 30 year old murder case that captivated the world.
