The Heisman Trophy running back O.J. Simpson won at Southern California in 1968 was stolen in July 1994. On Tuesday, it was announced that the Los Angeles Police Department recovered Simpson's prestigious hardware on December 16.
Veronica Rocha of the Los Angeles Times reported the news. Rocha also noted that no further details would be released since the Heisman theft is still an ongoing investigation
—over two decades later—according to LAPD Officer Drake Madison.While Simpson had his own copy of the trophy, USC's was stolen from an athletics department display case.
Detectives had gone to court last month, requesting a search warrant for phone records involving an anonymous individual who was purported to be involved in the theft.
Simpson ran for 1,880 yards on 383 carries and 23 touchdowns
in his Heisman-winning campaign for the Trojans, per Sports-Reference.com. That garnered the prodigious ball-carrier immense hype, which was bolstered when the Buffalo Bills chose Simpson with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1969 pro draft.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...tolen-1968-heisman-trophy-recovered-by-police
