Police divers searched a pond in Bristol, Conn., on Monday morning, reportedly seeking the weapon used to murder Odin Lloyd.

Police believe that the weapon is Aaron Hernandez's .45-caliber Glock handgun. Authorities have already seized several weapons from Hernandez's home, but have not found the Glock that matches the bullets found in Lloyd's body.

Surveillance cameras show Hernandez holding a handgun that prosecutors say they believe is the murder weapon. Police have recovered the magazine that goes with that Glock and have confirmed that Hernandez had one registered in his name.

It has not been reported whether police were acting on a tip, or just broadening the search for the murder weapon. Police have previously searched Hernandez's home and secret apartment and a pond near his house in North Attleboro, Mass.
