Simpson's ex-girlfriend gets attention of police By David Cázares Miami Bureau Posted January 22 2002 O.J. Simpson's ex-girlfriend has drawn the attention of Miami-Dade County police, but apparently not for anything to do with the former NFL star. On Saturday, police went to the southwest Miami-Dade apartment of Christie Prody, who once dated Simpson, after a neighbor called to report a foul odor coming from inside. The neighbor, Ruth Einhorn, told police she had not seen Prody in a month, and said Prody's orange-and-white cat might be inside. Police then asked county firefighters to break open the door. "There was an absolutely dreadful odor," Einhorn said. Once inside, police found a dead cat in a doorway. Prody's apartment appeared ransacked and clothing was scattered on the floor, along with semi-packed luggage, according to a police report. After officers at the scene referred the matter to a missing persons unit, police questioned Simpson on Sunday. Simpson told police he had spoken to her on Sunday and she was "out and about." Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, through a spokeswoman, discounted the notion Prody might be missing. --
