Hernandez murder probe turns attention to girlfriend

BRISTOL, Conn., Aug. 11 (UPI) -- A Connecticut storage locker rented by accused killer Aaron Hernandez's fiancee was searched by homicide investigators, court documents said.

Hernandez, a rising star for the New England Patriots, is charged with killing Lloyd during a personal dispute.

The search did not result in the seizure of anything inside the locker, the documents said.

Jenkins has not been charged in connection with Lloyd slaying; however authorities have suspected she may have disposed of guns at Hernandez's Massachusetts home that could tie him to the shooting, The Hartford (Conn.) Courant said Sunday.

The court documents released Friday discussed home surveillance video showing Jenkins leaving the home June 18 placing a trash bag in her car trunk. When she returned 35 minutes later, she opened the trunk but the bag was not visible.
