Speaking to GQ Magazine, Kim said that after her father brought home OJ's Louis Vuitton garment bag, she spoke of what she found inside it, noting: "Just toiletries and clothes and golf clothes. Just random stuff."
She added: "I'm pretty sure it's, like, still in - probably in my dad' storage. I know people said at the time that he [joined Simpson's defense team] so he couldn't be called as a witness, because he had that Louis Vuitton bag that supposedly had the [murder] weapon and stuff like that."
She added: "But that bag was sitting at my dad's house. I remember I went through it. The news was like, "Where is this Louis Vuitton bag?" And I'm like, 'Oh, it's upstairs.'"
