Documentary adds a twist to O. J. case

A documentary about an inmate on Florida's death row says the convicted killer might have been involved in the 1994 murder of O. J. Simpson's ex-wife and her friend.

The Investigation Discovery show, "My Brother the Serial Killer," will air today in the US. The film is a look at Glen Rogers, who was convicted by a Florida jury in 1997 for killing a woman. Rogers was also convicted of murder in California and is a suspect in homicides in several other states.

Rogers met Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994 when he was living in California, his family says in the documentary.

A criminal profiler in the film says he received paintings by Rogers with clues possibly linking him to the murders of Simpson's ex-wife and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

Simpson, a former professional football star, was accused in those killings, but his trial in Los Angeles ended with his acquittal in 1995.

Much of the documentary is narrated by Rogers' brother, Clay, who used to rob homes with Glen Rogers as a teen but in 1993 called police on his brother after finding a body at the family's Kentucky cabin.

Clay Rogers said in 1994, his brother told him about meeting Nicole Brown Simpson.

"They've got money, they're well off and I'm taking her down," Clay Rogers recalls his brother as saying.

Other family members also said Glen Rogers talked about meeting Simpson's ex-wife.

Simpson is currently serving a prison sentence in Nevada.
