so what i can tell you is that the story as it's told to us by the person we received it from and the person that we received this knife from is a retired land lapd officer who retired back in the late '90s. he was a motor officer, and at the time, according to him, he was working off duty which was -- he was working a movie job which a lot of our officers do on an off-duty basis as well as our retired officers. so do i not know whether he was retired at the time that he allegedly received this item from the person who claimed they found it on the property or whether he was still in fact an lapd officer and retired sometime after that. so we are looking into that. the bottom line is that with all cases that remain open such as the o.j. simpson and other murder cases and robbery cases, unless there's an actual arrest or

have actually closed the case, the cases remain open. that is the -- where we are with the o.j. simpson case, and i shouldn't say the o.j. simpson case. this is the nicole brown case, this is a double homicide that is still open and ongoing. so the investigators will continue to look at this. homicide investigators. ef. lab. they are going to study it an examine it for all forensics, including serology and dna and hair samples and that is ongoing as we speak. so with that, i can take a couple of questions, and i may not be able to answer all your questions. so let me start right here first. >> well, you've been listening to the lapd confirming what abc news reported that los angeles police are conducting tests on
