Editor’s note: This is the third part of an ongoing series of stories based on a seven-month WorldNetDaily investigation into the events surrounding the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson. The investigation includes exclusive interviews, conducted in person and by telephone, with key witness Bill Wasz, now serving time in a high-security prison for other crimes.
Easy money was the name of the game, and that’s what Bill Wasz says Robert Kardashian was offering. All he had to do was follow Nicole Brown Simpson, keep notes of what she did, and take pictures if she met with any men.
The offer of $1,000 for the surveillance work was allegedly made just after
Christmas 1993, only a few months after Wasz says he began supplying Kardashian, O.J. Simpson and Nicole with cocaine.
“I received a call at home from Robert Kardashian and he asked whether or not I’d be interested in making some extra money,” said Wasz in one of a series of exclusive interviews with WorldNetDaily. “I said I was always open to such things, and he detailed the surveillance he wanted done on Nicole.”
Wasz says Kardashian complained that he and O.J. were upset because Nicole was sleeping with friends of O.J. They wanted evidence and actual photographs.
“I agreed to the proposal thinking it would definitely be an easy grand, so why not,” explained Wasz. Although he had not done this before, he reasoned that it would be easy enough to follow Nicole and take a few pictures.
He didn’t have a camera, but that was no problem. Like anything else Wasz ever decided he wanted, he simply stole a Minolta 35mm camera with a zoom lens.
Wasz says Kardashian told him where to find Nicole, what time and day to
begin. He provided detailed directions to her home, and orders to follow her for three days.
The easy money didn’t seem so easy when Wasz had to get up at 6 a.m. on Jan. 6, 1993. Despite his loss of enthusiasm for the assignment, he managed to get through traffic and arrive at the Simpson home on Rockingham about 8 a.m.
“I saw her white Ferrari still parked, so I knew that I had not missed her,” he related. It would be a stressful wait of nearly an hour before she came out. In his normal drug deals he would arrive, make a quick transaction with Nicole or O.J. and leave.
“In that neighborhood one doesn’t sit in one’s car without being noticed,” he explained of his concerns. “But like clockwork, as I was told by Kardashian, she came out wearing some white shorts over a black leotard, or workout suit. Her hair was pinned back and she looked the part that she knew she was, pretty damn fine.”
Wasz quickly discovered that following Nicole would be a major challenge. Her driving habits in her Ferrari nearly left Wasz lost in her dust. First stop of the day — a gym in Westwood.
It was a long two-hour wait, and Wasz began to question why he accepted the job. The task seemed menial and everything about it aggravated him. On one corner of his notepad, Wasz played with some numbers and concluded that a private investigator got paid far too little for the type of work he was doing.
“She came out around 11 a.m. and it was another drag race keeping up with her,” said Wasz. She only went a short distance to a toy store, and came out a few minutes later with something in a bag that she tossed into the back of the car.
Nicole never showed any indication that she knew she was being watched, but her speed made the job extremely difficult for Wasz. The next stop was a restaurant in Encino on Ventura Blvd. She had parked in a garage, and Wasz parked in a way that gave him a clear view of her car.
“It was a little over an hour wait” said Wasz. “I almost left to get something to eat when I saw her and a tall black guy. They were holding hands and both were smiling from ear to ear.” He quickly pulled out his camera and began taking pictures of a steamy encounter, which amazed even Wasz.
He did not know at the time that he had taken pictures of Marcus Allen, the professional football player. It was only later that he learned who he had caught.
Wasz had been hired to follow Nicole for three days, but he was looking for an excuse to end the challenging task early. Despite his desire to quit, he was concerned that he wouldn’t get paid, so he continued on.
Next stop for Nicole was a beauty parlor, then home. She didn’t come out until 6 p.m. dressed in a short red evening dress, according to Wasz. This time Wasz followed her to a Hotel where she used the valet parking and went inside.
After a long wait, and after being checked by security more than once, Wasz saw Nicole come out and drive off. This trip took Wasz directly into Beverly Hills were she went into a private home. Wasz panicked, tried to write down the address and left.
“It was a major rule of mine never to drive around Beverly Hills at night,” he explained. “Criminal suicide to say the least, because you will be pulled over if your car cost less than a hundred grand. I watched her enter a home and I knew that was it for me. I tried to get the address and wrote down what I thought it was, but I know I didn’t get it right.”
Wasz went home, drank and used cocaine by himself until early in the morning. He over-slept and it was noon before he got to the Simpson home. He was pleased to find that Nicole’s car was parked in its usual spot. It wasn’t long before she took him on another trip at a high rate of speed.
“I swear this girl thought she had carte blanche on the road or something,” said Wasz of her driving. She made a quick stop in a pre-school, then on to a video store on San Vincente where she dropped off some videos.
It was 1 p.m. when Nicole arrived at a fast food restaurant on Sunset. She picked up some food and brought it home. Wasz waited outside the house for at least two hours or more and then left, because a woman kept driving up and down the street looking at him.
He returned with apprehension after 7 p.m. He was extremely concerned that he would be stopped by police at that time of the evening.
Just as he was about to leave, Nicole came out in an evening dress and drove off at her usual rate of speed. Wasz followed and made a notation of her destination in his notebook then continued without stopping.
“I decided that enough was enough,” said Wasz. “This tail job was a clear bust if I kept pushing the envelope, so I went up Sunset and called Robert Kardashian.”
Kardashian tried to convince Wasz to go back and continue for another day, but Wasz would have nothing more of the assignment.
“I was adamant about following her in these neighborhoods. I wanted my money because I had photos that he would find worth the whole amount. He immediately changed his tone and became excited,” described Wasz of his conversation with Kardashian. They made arrangements to meet the next morning.
Wasz spent the night doing what he said was productive. Selling cocaine at some of the clubs. It was another late night, and another late morning. He nearly missed his meeting with Kardashian.
He went into the same parking lot where the two previously had culminated cocaine deliveries. Wasz went over to the car and saw that Kardashian had someone with him. He claimed it was his assistant, Mike.
Kardashian held out his hand and Wasz wanted to know if he would get his $1,000 along with another $750 that was owed for a previous cocaine delivery. Kardashian showed an envelope and continued to hold out his hand.
Wasz says now that he was tempted to punch Kardashian for his arrogance. Instead he handed him the notebook and the roll of film. Kardashian handed the notebook back, along with the envelope. He wanted the pictures. He knew what they contained.
“Give me a call the next time you need something,” Wasz told Kardashian.
“I will,” he replied as he drove off.
It was then that Wasz noticed he had been observed. A young girl in the drive-up window was watching everything, although Wasz knew she had no idea what had really taken place. He went to the window and ordered some food.
He ate the food on his way to replenish his cocaine supply. He refers to his suppliers as his “Columbian associates,” and he became their best salesman. Wasz arrived with Kardashian’s money, which he used to get cocaine inventory to sell later that night.
It was about a week later that Kardashian called Wasz at home in the evening.
“Can you come to see me tomorrow about a personal matter,” asked Kardashian, according to Wasz.
“What, McDonald’s again?” asked Wasz.
“No,” he replied. He wanted to have a lengthy discussion.
“I figured it was good for a couple of grand, or something from this dude,” explained Wasz. “All I had to do was have to deal with his arrogance and do some menial task I was sure.”
It wasn’t a menial task this time. According to Wasz, it was conspiracy to commit murder. It was also, Wasz says he would later learn, an attempt to have him killed in the process.
