O.J. Simpson had just been found not guilty of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole, and her acquaintance, Ron Goldman, when a 20-year-old tourist from Minnesota stopped to see his home in Brentwood, Calif.
Her uncle, Steve Bellmore, told NBC she was a shy girl from St. Anthony, a small town in Minnesota, who went to the University of Minnesota but dropped out before her senior year and became a cocktail waitress.
she’s been living with him in a $1.1-million four-bedroom home with an outdoor basketball court and a big in-ground pool in the Kendall section of Miami. Though they’ve never been engaged, they live together as if they were married.
