In a shocking revelation, an ex-Los Angeles collections agency owner, John Dunton, has allegedly confessed to a Hollywood private detective, Paul Barresi, that O.J. Simpson hired goons from the notorious Gambino mob family to kill his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. The confession, which Dunton claimed he stayed silent about for fear of reprisal from the Mafia, has sparked an ongoing investigation into the validity of the claims made.

According to Barresi, Dunton insisted that Simpson not only ordered the hit on his spouse but was also present at the scene of the murders on June 12, 1994. Dunton, now 62, claimed to have obtained information about Simpson's whereabouts that night from someone "in his circle" who allegedly had connections to the mob. However, Dunton remained vague about the identity of his informant.

Supporting his claims, Dunton revealed that the four individuals responsible for the killings were affiliated with the Gambino family. He asserted that everything was orchestrated under Simpson's direction, stating, "The bottom line is everything was done with O.J.'s direction. That's what happened." Dunton also alleged that Simpson deliberately chose to be present, stating, "He was there. I don't know what he did, but he was there. He knew these guys were going over to Nicole's house to kill her. He wanted to be there."

Despite these shocking allegations, The Post has been unable to independently verify Dunton's claims. However, Dunton did inform Barresi that he had tipped off the police about the information he had acquired, with the condition of anonymity. Instead, Dunton was summoned to testify before a grand jury investigating O.J.'s friend Al Cowling. When he refused to cooperate, Dunton was held in contempt and imprisoned for 23 days, until his release was secured by his former attorney, Robert Rentzer.

Rentzer, who was unaware of any mob involvement in Nicole's murder, acknowledged that Dunton had expressed fear about something that prevented him from testifying. "There must have been some reason why Dunton didn't want to testify," Rentzer stated.

Dunton further revealed to Barresi that he had been visited by a Gambino operative who, in a terrifying encounter, forced him to kneel while threatening him and his family with a gun. However, Dunton refused to disclose the identity of the mobster, citing concerns for his and his family's safety.

As investigations unfold, authorities are determined to delve deeper into the alleged mob hit on Nicole Brown Simpson. The validity of Dunton's claims and the involvement of the Gambino family are crucial aspects that demand rigorous scrutiny. The revelations have reignited public interest in the case that famously ended with Simpson's acquittal.

While the truth behind these shocking allegations remains to be determined, the impact of Dunton's confession may have far-reaching consequences for understanding the events surrounding the tragic deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman over two decades ago.
