Hernandez Investigation Turns To Fiancee

((HT: WHDH-TV))

The Hartford Courant is coming out with a story that now has another layer to the Aaron Hernandez murder investigation...

The investigation is now shifting to Hernandez's girlfriend-fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins...

Police have searched a storage locker in Connecticut leased in her name and paid for with Aaron Hernandez’s credit card. Nothing was taken from the locker, but police will probably return at some point in their investigation...

Investigators refer to surveillance video form inside Hernandez's home, text messages, and an interview with Shayanna's sister, Shaneah, that give them the feel that Jenkins may have had knowledge of what happened to the gun used in the murder of Odin Lloyd.

From Jenny Wilson's article:

According to the records, June 18 footage from the home shows Shayanna Jenkins leaving the basement of the house around 1:15 p.m., carrying a trash bag, which authorities say contains a heavy "rigid object," resembling a lock box or safe. She placed the trash bag in the trunk of a red Nissan Sentra. Surveillance footage showed her returning 35 minutes later and opening the trunk of the car, which no longer held the trash bag and "rigid object," the records show.

The day after Odin Lloyd’s body was found, surveillance video reportedly captured Jenkins leaving the home she shares with Hernandez and their child carrying a trash bag. Authorities said it looked like it contained hard container like a lock box or safe.


Police found a .22 in a wooded area blocks away from the Hernandez house. They think the .22 was the gun that Hernandez's accomplices- Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz- were seen carrying the night of the murder.

Here's the story from WBZ-TV


Jenkins has yet to be charged in any aspect of the investigation. And conventional wisdom is that Jenkins will be used to twist Hernandez to incriminate him and keep her out of jail...
