When the series on the case of OJ Simpson began, I urged you to keep a time line of the events as they unfolded. I suspect you did not because except for a few dates, there were few specific times given for anything by the writers of the series.
There is a progression of the story that we can list and at least are pretty sure what the date was for several things. Forget the times I have been indicating for now and concentrate on the times we have from the TV program. Episode Six adds some times and information that help us.
TIME LINE

Sometime Detectives arrive at Rockingham. They see a blood drop on the Bronco door and send Fuhrman over the wall to get in to the estate. The officers suspect OJ but they use the blood drop on the Bronco as their excuse to enter the property without a warrant, saying they feared for the life of people inside. They awaken Kaelin. Vannatter and Lange find OJ’s daughter and call OJ in Chicago. Fuhrman finds a bloody glove behind Kaelin’s guest house on the walkway. He shows it to the other detectives. Vannatter spots the trail of blood drops from the Bronco into the mansion.
