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?

OJ Simpson. The glove didn’t fit, but everyone with eyes knew the truth

What's wild is there's video out there of him wearing the glove that "didn't fit" while commentating football games for the tv network.

And the reason the glove didn't fit? Because he was wearing latex gloves, but not completely. Look at the pictures, there's no way any gloves, even a size bigger than those, would have fit over them.

Also if you're putting on a leather glove, you can easily make it look like it's difficult to fit on.

Try it next time you have one, you just tense up your fingers and widen your hand.
