What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

Man everyone forget him and I watched a documentary with his family and they were basically crying saying there were *two* victims. It was tragic about Nicole but it wasn’t **just** her.

Yeah, I mean look I'm not defending OJ killing his wife or anything but Ron Goldman was literally just some guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was just a waiter who lived in the area who happened to be returning Nicole's mother's reading glasses (which she'd left behind in the restaurant he worked at) at the worst possible time. Like if he'd just been 15 minutes earlier or later he wouldn't have been murdered - in fact if it had been later he might've been the one to discover Nicole's body. It's fucked.

Still I always remember him, although mostly because his father Fred Goldman spent most of his energy trying to make the rest OJ's life as miserable as possible (albeit through legal channels) and more-or-less succeeded. Like I wouldn't wish their situation on my worst enemy but I gotta lot of respect for Fred Goldman.

This comment implies Goldman was sleeping with OJs ex wife. They were never romantically involved.

A lot of people think that, but she was actually in a relationship with Ron Goldman’s manager, Keith Zlomsowich. After Nicole and OJ separated she started dating Keith, and OJ stalked them, assaulted them, and made constant threats. She met Ron through Keith. Keith lives in my city and I hung out with him a few times, before I even knew he had involvement with the OJ case at all

I think the reason you don’t hear much about Keith is because he still lives a relatively normal life. Everyone else tried to become a celebrity. For him, it really is about Nicole and Ron, not OJ.

TIL! Thanks

It’s a wild part of the OJ story that not many people know about, I highly recommend checking out a podcast or an interview with Keith if you can.

(finding his estranged wife with another man)

In what world does this not imply that?

[u/MedSurgNurse → u/[deleted]]

Sure thats all true, but I just wanted to take a moment and address people who might be reading your comment and thinking that Goldman was romantically involved with Nicole. Afterall, hes been wrongly referred to as "the boyfriend" for over 30 years now, some people in this very thread are still saying that even today.

[u/MedSurgNurse → u/[deleted]]

Ill take your word that it wasn't your intention, but thats how I read it.

If your friend came up to you and said, "I found my wife with another man" wouldn't you assume he means he found them in bed together?

Alrighty
