"A woman named Nicole called a battered women's shelter five days before the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, saying her famous ex-husband stalked her and threatened to kill her, a shelter worker testified at the O.J. Simpson civil trial Wednesday.
Nancy Ney, board member of Sojourn House, told the court that the call was made by a woman, who only identified herself as Nicole, at 11 a.m. on June 7, 1994, and that the caller expressed fear of her ex-husband.
"She said that he had told her a few different times that if he ever caught her with another man he would kill her," Ney said.
Under questioning by plaintiff attorney Peter Gelblum, Ney admitted the woman did not give her last name, but said she did offer other information that fit Nicole Brown Simpson.
Ney said the caller told her she was in her mid-30s, was divorced, lived in west Los Angeles, had two children -- a boy and a girl under 10 -- and that her husband was famous.
"She did say he was very high profile and if she told me who he was I would know him," Ney said.
