Aaron Hernandez's home searched in possible homicide probe
Quote:
NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — State and local police spent hours at the $1.3 million home of NFL tight end Aaron Hernandez of the New England Patriots on Tuesday night as another group of officers searched an industrial park about a mile away where a body was discovered the day before.
Police at the scene and prosecutors would not comment on the actions while Sports Illustrated, citing an unidentified source, reported that Hernandez was not believed to be a suspect in what was being treated as a possible homicide. Police had spoken with Hernandez, the magazine said. Sports Illustrated reported that the link between Hernandez and the case was a rented Chevrolet Suburban with Rhode Island plates that police had been searching for. The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro, Mass., said the SUV was registered to "Enterprise" and investigators wanted to analyze it for fingerprints.
The Associated Press could not independently confirm the reports.
No cause of death had been released for the body found about 5:30 p.m. Monday.
Hernandez is represented by the Athletes First agency, which said it has no comment "on the Aaron Hernandez situation." The player's mother said by telephone from Connecticut on Tuesday she had no knowledge of a case involving him.
The Patriots drafted Hernandez out of Florida in 2010. Since then, he has combined with Rob Gronkowski to form one of the top tight end duos in the NFL.
On Tuesday night, some police officers stood on the front steps of Hernandez's 5,600-square-foot home and others could be seen inside. Some walked around the driveway and in the garage with flashlights. Before wrapping up their work for the night, one officer took a box out of the massive house.
ABC News reported that two Hernandez friends tried to leave house at the time of the search, but they were stopped by a state police car at the end of driveway. Investigators searched the car the men tried to leave in.
The Sun Chonicle reported that state police issued a bulletin Tuesday night saying they were looking for yet another rental car -- a silver 2013 Chrysler 300 with Rhode Island plates -- in connection with the "North Attleboro homicide." Police said there could be up to four occupants in the vehicle, the newspaper reported.
During the search, the report said, Hernandez received a hand-delivered package from the prominent law firm Ropes and Gray, and the deliveryman told reporters that it was addressed to "Mr. Hernandez himself."
Take this for what it's worth...my son attended UF when AH was there...frequented same bars...said AH was always being escorted out of bars and word was he was plain bat-$h!t crazy...
Funny, this is happening about 19 years after O.J. Simpson and the infamous low speed Bronco chase. I remember first hearing the story and it grew incredible legs in 5 days. I almost feel the same way, as if someone here is pushing a snowball up a hill, and it's just about ready to start careening down the other side.
Aaron Hernandez’ neighbors heard gunshots early Monday morning, according to FOX 25 via A.J. Perez. Investigators also allegedly have video surveillance of Hernandez returning home shortly after the gunshots were heard.

Funny you should mention this about OJ. The news this morning is saying Hernandez hasn't been seen at his house since he left his lawyer's office yesterday. AND he has a white SUV. News is also saying Hernandez "destroyed" his house inside. Geez, I liked him too.
These stupid athletes are supposed to role models for kids. Good job, guys. I'm not just talking about Hernandez either.
