Report: Police May Have ‘Key Evidence’ in Aaron Hernandez Murder Investigation
By Chris Roling
Things have been fluid in the investigation of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez and his involvement in a murder over the past few weeks, but police may have finally made a breakthrough.
According to the Associated Press, police may have found serious evidence in a secret apartment in Massachusetts owned by Hernandez:
"They then searched the $1,200-a-month apartment in Franklin on June 26, according to search warrant records at Wrentham District Court. Among the findings were a white hooded sweatshirt and a cranberry-colored cap in a bedroom, the documents said.Surveillance video showed Hernandez wearing a similar sweatshirt the night Lloyd was killed on June 17, the records say.The search also turned up several boxes of ammunition, including .22-, .45- and 7.62-caliber ammunition."
The police are continuing to build a case against Hernandez, although his representatives say the evidence obtained is only circumstantial. Police learned of the flop house from one of his associates.
Hernandez is also linked to a double-murder that occurred in Boston back in 2012. He’s also being probed as an individual involved in a 2007 shooting in Florida—Hernandez would have only been 17 at the time.
