The Aaron Hernandez murder case involving Odin Lloyd is the only murder that the former Patriots tight end is charged with, but after an investigation into a another crime, there is a chance that Hernandez could be connected to a double murder from summer 2012 and a house in Bristol could be at the center of it.
Hernandez has been charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a former semi-pro football player and his fiancé's sister's boyfriend, and now he is also being looked at in connection with another crime. According to the Associated Press, while Hernandez has not been officially connected, police are looking into whether he had anything to do with a double murder from Boston last summer that resulted in the deaths of Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira Furtado in a drive-by.
That crime has not been solved and the murder weapon was only found over the summer and the connection came up after a car fitting a similar description to the one on the shooting was found at a Bristol house that belongs to Hernandez's uncle. Hernandez was seen on video at the club the night of the murders and police investigated the home and seized the truck. The house in Bristol has been a point of interest for police, as Hernandez's uncle has the home and now Hernandez's cousin Tanya Singleton, who lived there, has refused to testify before a grand jury and is also in custody.
The report says that the house was being lived in by a number of people at different times, including people connected to the case in arrested accomplices Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace. Singleton reportedly bought a bus ticket for Wallace after the Lloyd killing and both Ortiz and Wallace were known to have stayed there at different times and other have reported that Hernandez stayed there at times as well.
Following the murder, Wallace and Ortiz went back to the Bristol house and that has been a point of contention for police, as they have looked into the connections between Singleton, Ortiz and Wallace as well as he deceased husband Thaddeus Singleton as well as a man named John Alcorn, who was called before the grand jury to testify about his connection to a weapon that was found to be used in the double murder.
Hernandez has not been officially charged in the crime and his trial in the Odin Lloyd case could start next fall.
