The Fuhrman Tapes: What Wasn’t Played at Trial

Deep inside a sealed evidence locker—one that was supposed to have been purged—a single unmarked cassette has surfaced. It’s not the infamous “N-word” tapes. This is something else.

Sources inside LAPD archives confirm the recording captures a late-night conversation between Mark Fuhrman and a now-deceased informant, just weeks before the Simpson trial began. In it, Fuhrman discusses a “third glove”—not leather, but surgical. He claims it was “moved for safekeeping” before first responders arrived.

The tape was never entered into the record.

Rumors circulating among ex-detectives suggest the chain of custody for this specific piece of evidence was “buried in a clerical error.” The informant died in a car accident six months after the trial ended. No foul play was ever found—officially.

But the question remains: who else has heard what’s on this tape?

And why does the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit have a file—marked FURHMAN, M. — DEEP BACKGROUND—that’s been viewed as recently as last month?

The lid is loose. And it’s not going back on.
