we need to find oj simpson. josh mankiewicz: as dawn broke in brentwood, lange and three other detectives were sent to simpson's estate on nearby rockingham avenue. one of them was detective mark fuhrman. arriving detectives feared the worst, that simpson may have suffered the same fate as his ex-wife. we've just left a bloody crime scene. is simpson in there as one of the victims? josh mankiewicz: so without a search warrant, detective fuhrman jumped the wall and let in the other cops. in one of the estate's bungalows, detectives found simpson's 25-year-old daughter, arnelle. they learned her father was out of town on a business trip in chicago. in the other bungalow, detectives woke up a shaggy-haired young man named brian kato kaelin. kaelin had been living at simpson's house for five months. he'd come to la to be an actor, and now he was about to star in the role of his life, answering questions about where he'd last seen simpson. i'd seen him earlier in the day, and he was talking about women problems. he ne

a limousine pulled up and oj simpson got out of the limousine. josh mankiewicz (voiceover): junis says he had a clear view of simpson, but simpson, he says, never saw him. he was carrying this little, cheap gym bag. he only zipped it a few inches, just enough to get his hand in, and was pulling things out and dumping them in the trash can. josh mankiewicz (voiceover): back then, junis didn't think too much of it as he watched simpson empty that little black bag, and then hustle inside. by the time police learned what junis had seen, it was too late for them to go through the trash. but junis did draw a picture of the bag for detectives. you think he was disposing of the evidence then? sure. of course, i do. that witness has evidence. they have no reason to discount him or anything else. it was an entirely credible story. josh mankiewicz (voiceover): so credible that junis was subpoenaed to testify. but like a lot of the prosecution's case, things wouldn't go quite according to plan, and the defense was just getting started. coming up. carl douglas
