- Includes a note with the address of Kerrigan's skating center in Massachusetts
- Also revealed for the first time is a photo of Harding and ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, who helped plot the attack

New evidence has been made public against Tonya Harding in the 1994 clubbing of her fellow figure skater Nancy Kerrigan - including a handwritten note on the back of an envelope that investigators saw as the smoking gun in the case.
Kerrigan was famously clubbed in the knee just seven weeks before the 1994 Olympic Games after a practice session at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Investigators traced back the attack to Harding's ex-husband and bodyguard.
Harding at the time was also hoping to join the Olympics team and was Kerrigan's rival. Both made the team that year - Harding finished in 8th position (after interrupting her own performance and asking to start again due to a broken shoelace) while Kerrigan went home with a silver medal.

Investigators found that Gillooly and Harding's bodyguard had hired a man named Shane Stant to beat up Kerrigan. Stant was later sentenced to 18 months behind bars. Gillooly pleaded guilty to racketeering and received a two-year sentence.
