ROOM 1203 is now available from WildBlue Press! Order your copy today!

In 1995, NFL great and movie star, O.J. Simpson beat a murder rap for the death of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. But in 2007 his luck with avoiding Lady Justice ran out in Las Vegas.

ROOM 1203 is the true story of the convoluted and bizarre events surrounding a violent armed robbery of a sports memorabilia collector in a Vegas hotel. On that night, Simpson put an exclamation mark on his spectacular fall from the height of Hollywood’s glamour and glitz to a shadowy world of scams and schemers in Sin City.

Written by the lead detective assigned to the case, the book provides details, insights and facts not previously reported, as well as the investigation that pieced the crime together and landed an arrogant man who believed he was above the law in a Nevada prison.

“Think you can steal my sh*t and sell it?” – O.J. Simpson

From the Book:

As we turned down the hall toward O.J.’s suite, three more surveillance detectives stood behind a pillar, visiting with each other while waiting for the two surveillance detectives who were closer to the room to signal that the target was moving. They were working with the Palms security and had a room in the same hall as Simpson’s, so the hall could be monitored without a detective just waiting for Simpson to come out of his room. Court Room Autographs

As Rod, Linda and I approached Simpson’s suite, Eddie stayed back in the hall. Rod knocked on the door, and within a few moments, the door swung open and there was O.J. Simpson. This was and is a moment that is hard to reconcile in my mind. As I stood there—a detective tasked with investigating a crime and thinking I was going to conduct this interview just like any other—I was a little star struck. O.J. is not a big, imposing figure. In fact, he was smaller than I would have ever imagined a former NFL player to be. His charismatic personality came shining through the moment he opened the door. With a great big smile and animated arm movements, he invited us into his suite. Here is where that flexibility in interviews became paramount; he leaned out into the hallway and waved Eddie in also. But that wasn’t all. The surveillance detectives who take pride in their ability to work undetected—Simpson had spotted them, too, and waved them into the room. As everyone piled into the suite, I had to laugh to myself as I thought I would probably come in, too, if I were in their position. As he waved everyone in, Simpson told me his lawyer was not there yet, but he should be there shortly, so we could wait inside for him.

Detective Andy Caldwell

As I walked past Simpson, I had a moment of realization that helped me to get over my feeling of being star struck. O.J. was wearing the same clothes as he was in the surveillance video from the robbery the night before: a light blue, disheveled polo shirt and blue jeans.

From The Author:

ROOM 1203 is my first endeavor with writing a book and without my direct involvement with the O.J. Simpson armed robbery case I don’t think I would have ever attempted to author a book. The thought of writing this book has come and gone many times over the last 9 years, but knowing OJ’s parole hearing was set for July of 2017, I figured it was a good time to write the behind the scenes story of how O.J. Simpson was arrested and convicted of twelve felonies which landed him in a Nevada State Prison for the last 9 years.

    Very interesting read. Written part like a nice gel and part like a police report this book takes you only through the facts of the OJ Simpson case in Las Vegas. Ret. Detective Caldwell’s ability to remember what was then mundane conversations and his impeccable way of taking notes makes this book not just interesting but very entertaining to read. His thought and procedural process should be taught around the country as ways to convict the hardest people to convict what seems to be the hardest people to convict….America’s celebrities. Must read book for anyone interested in this genre.
