00:00:52.560 --> 00:01:22.200
I'm given call n oh no.

2
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.040
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

3
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.400
the Elite. I'm your host Jim Chapman, and today I

4
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.920
am bringing you a brand new subject in the bad

5
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.400
Boy series, and that is the rise and fall of

6
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.359
NFL tight End Aaron Hernandez.

7
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.760
Now, this is the second bad.

8
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.560
Boy we have covered with this series, the first being

9
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.439
former UFC Fighter war Machine. And ever since I dropped

10
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.079
that series, many of you have been asking for more.

11
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.719
So here is one you are.

12
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.359
Not gonna leave. Let's get into it now.

13
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:08.319
Aaron Hernandez was born in Bristol, Connecticut, in nineteen eighty nine.

14
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.400
His dad's side of the family, they were Puerto Rican

15
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:16.000
and his mother's side of the family was of Italian descent,

16
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.759
which made for an interesting and sometimes explosive dynamic. His

17
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.240
dad was kind of a local legend in the Bristol,

18
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.280
Connecticut area in the seventies. He was actually a big

19
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.240
time football star in the area and after high school

20
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.680
he went to play for Yukon the University of Connecticut.

21
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:41.000
So he was very well known and respected in the area,

22
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.919
so much so that his nickname was the King, and

23
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.919
he just looked intimidating. He stood only about five foot ten,

24
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.360
but even in his forties, this dude was muscular. He

25
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.719
was kind of built like a brick shitouse, if you will. Now,

26
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.759
Aaron's parents were married about three when Aaron was born,

27
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.759
following just a few years behind his older brother DJ. Now,

28
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.560
as you may expect, athletics a big deal in the

29
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:17.759
Hernandez household, and Aaron's dad expected perfection. Although his dad,

30
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.360
Dennis had a spotless reputation publicly, privately it was a

31
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:28.080
totally different story. His dad would get physically violent, especially

32
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.840
when he drank, with both Aaron and DJ, and even

33
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.639
Aaron's mother. He would hit the kids for underperforming in

34
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.439
athletics or academics. And to put it how it was,

35
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.560
his mom and dad just did not get along. There

36
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.840
were verbal fights almost on a daily basis, and Aaron's

37
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:52.319
brother DJ wrote a book several years ago talking about that,

38
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.919
talking about how horrible the abuse was in that house.

39
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.479
It would get so bad that in nineteen ninety one,

40
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.199
when Aaron was just two years old, his parents divorced.

41
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:08.039
Then in nineteen ninety six, when Aaron was seven years old,

42
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.280
they got married again, and as both Aaron and his

43
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.159
brother DJ got older, it was obvious they were both

44
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.319
gifted on a football field. DJ would graduate high school.

45
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.240
He would go on to follow in his dad's footsteps

46
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.319
and accept a scholarship to Yukon, and Aaron, at just

47
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.079
fourteen years old and a freshman in high school, was

48
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:35.079
also offered a scholarship at Yukon at fourteen, which he

49
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.120
committed to the college that day, the day that they

50
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.680
offered him. And life seemed to be great for Aaron

51
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.759
outside of that physical abuse until it wasn't. Now, when

52
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.439
Aaron was sixteen, his life would change drastically when his

53
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.480
dad went into the hospital for what was supposed to

54
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:59.040
be a routine surgery for a hernia, but sadly, due

55
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:04.360
to complication during that surgery, his dad would die that day. Now,

56
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:10.360
by all accounts, this totally devastated Aaron. In particular, despite

57
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.240
his dad's harsh treatment, Aaron idolized him and he would

58
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.160
never really get over his father's death. Now, his father

59
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.000
was also the authority figure in the Hernandez household, and

60
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.399
he would keep Aaron accountable. So this lack of an

61
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.199
authority figure, his dad passes away and there's no one

62
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.360
there really to keep Aaron accountable that would spell trouble

63
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.160
for him going forward.

64
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:37.000
Now, it was not.

65
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.199
Long after his father's death when his immediate family was

66
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:42.399
really hit hard.

67
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.720
After it came out that Aaron's.

68
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.920
Mother was having an affair with his older cousin, Tanya

69
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:55.199
Singleton's husband, Jeff, and that infuriated Aaron and he instantly

70
00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.480
had hate for his mom over this affair. To complicate things,

71
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.839
this guy moves into the family home that Aaron lived in.

72
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.399
Imagine that you're in high school, shortly after your dad

73
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.879
passes away, who you were enamored by. This guy moves

74
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.120
in and he's cooking eggs every morning.

75
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:17.720
In your kitchen.

76
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.519
Well, it was not long after that that Aaron had

77
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.360
had enough and he moves in with his older cousin,

78
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.759
Tanya Singleton, who he really looked at like a second mom.

79
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.319
And Tanya Singleton, of course, her husband was having an

80
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.279
affair with his mother. So he moves in with Tanya

81
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.279
and at school he continued to thrive athletically. In addition

82
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.800
of football, Aaron Hernandez was also an amazing basketball player.

83
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.920
He was a track star, and he was also extremely popular.

84
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.639
As you might imagine, good looking kid, six foot two

85
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.279
two hundred and twenty five pounds, and it was in

86
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.959
high school that he would start dating Sanna Jenkins, who

87
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.839
he had known since elementary school. Now, even at sixteen,

88
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.560
Aaron had already had his vices, including smoking weed before school,

89
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:16.279
during school, after school, at practice games, he was a

90
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.560
weed chainsmoker. Now, Aaron was also known to drink excessively

91
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.439
at this time in his life.

92
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.920
He would drink at parties.

93
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.079
He would become very aggressive. But he was so gifted

94
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:36.560
athletically that as a senior, he becomes Connecticut's Gatorade Player

95
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.319
of the Year, even with all these vices already developing

96
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.360
in his life, and in addition to that, he was

97
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.759
named a first team All American.

98
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.319
In high school, making him one of.

99
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.199
The top football players in the country. Now, remember that

100
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:56.439
I told you earlier. Aaron had committed at just fourteen

101
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.639
years old to play football for Ukon Wells a He

102
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.839
wanted to at least get a taste of the college

103
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:08.480
football recruiting experience, and this led him to visit the

104
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.439
University of Florida. So he only did this because he

105
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.439
thought it would be fun. He didn't really think he

106
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.759
was going to commit to the University of Florida. His

107
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.680
brother DJ was still playing. He was in fact a

108
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:26.079
starter at Yukon, but while he was visiting Florida, he

109
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.720
got an idea of what it was like to play

110
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:34.399
SEC style football, and shockingly to everyone, he decommits from

111
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.600
Yukon and he commits to the Florida Gators. To add

112
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.960
to that, Urban Meyer, who was the head coach of

113
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.000
the Gators during this time, he actually flies to Connecticut

114
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:51.360
and he somehow convinces the principle of Aaron's high school

115
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:56.039
to allow him to graduate a semester early. Now, physically

116
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.440
Aaron here named Es could handle that. He was a

117
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.159
big boy by this time, but maturity wise and mentally,

118
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.080
no way was.

119
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:05.919
He ready for that.

120
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.200
To be away from home like that, have no one

121
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.679
looking over him outside of the coaching staff at Florida,

122
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.679
and this would be start of a big spiral for Aaron.

123
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:17.360
Now.

124
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.720
On the field in college, he was known as a

125
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.799
hard worker. He was very focused. But off the field,

126
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.639
totally different story with this guy. In his freshman year

127
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.679
of college, two men are actually shot in Gainesville.

128
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.799
Florida, and four Florida.

129
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:40.200
Gators are questioned, including Aaron Hernandez. So as the story

130
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.919
goes the two men in a front of theirs had

131
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.480
left a bar and they were in their car. They

132
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.600
were stopped at a red light and shots rang out. Hernandez,

133
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:53.679
at this time was seventeen. Apparently he and some of

134
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.200
the other Florida Gators had an altercation with these guys

135
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.919
at the bar they were at. In some my witness

136
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.480
described her named as to a t as being involved

137
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.480
in that shooting, but nothing ever came of it, and

138
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.919
there were several other incidents in college that were troubling.

139
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.120
His sophomore year, he was actually suspended for failing a

140
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.039
drug test.

141
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.080
But you can't hide talent, and Aaron.

142
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.240
Was a beast on the football field, so good in fact,

143
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.080
that his junior year he became a first team College

144
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.679
All American and he wins what's known is the John

145
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.519
Mackie Award for being the best tight end in college

146
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:38.080
football period. So he foregoes his senior season and he

147
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.679
enters the NFL Draft, and although he should have went

148
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.720
in the first round, his off the field bullshit caused

149
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.919
him to slip into the fourth round, where he's drafted

150
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:55.000
by Tom Brady's New England Patriots. He was signed to

151
00:10:55.080 --> 00:11:00.519
a two million dollar contract, and that was in twoenty ten. Now,

152
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.120
in July of twenty twelve, two men are killed in

153
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:08.519
the drive by shooting in Boston. Why am I bringing

154
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.320
this up, Well, keep that in your back pocket for now,

155
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.159
and I'm going to circle back to it a.

156
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.360
Little later on today.

157
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:20.000
So, by August of twenty twelve, Hernandez was a bonafide

158
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.440
star for the Patriots, and he signs a contract extension

159
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:29.039
for forty one million dollars, which at that time was

160
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:33.360
the second most for a tight end. Then in February

161
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.120
twenty thirteen, a man by the name of Alexander Bradley,

162
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:42.480
he's found shot in Riviera Beach, Florida.

163
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.000
And that is around the Miami Beach area. This is

164
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:47.519
just hours.

165
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.360
After spending an evening with Hernandez and a Miami strip club.

166
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.000
And that's another one I want you to keep in

167
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.840
your pocket for now, and I'll get back to it.

168
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:57.919
Time moves on.

169
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.559
Then, on June seventeenth of twenty thirteen, a high school junior,

170
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.080
in a hurry to get home from the gym, he

171
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.320
decides to cut through a grivel pit and he makes

172
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.080
what I can only imagine to be a horrific discovery,

173
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:17.320
he sees a bullet riddled body lying in that pit.

174
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.600
He calls police and investigators arrive on the scene and

175
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:27.120
they identify that deceased body as that of Odin Lloyd.

176
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:28.320
Now, Lloyd had.

177
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.720
Been shot six times, so police they start investigating, and

178
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.519
first they needed to find out who the heck Odin

179
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.519
Lloyd was. They discovered that he was twenty seven years old.

180
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.080
He was a linebacker for a semi pro football team

181
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.120
in the Boston area, and he was thought of very

182
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.120
highly in his community. He had a lot of friends

183
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.320
and family who loved him deeply. He had a steady girlfriend.

184
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.600
So they worked the crime scene. They really get a

185
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.320
mountain of evidence that they end up sending off to

186
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.720
the Boston crime Lab. They're going to get that tested.

187
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.600
That will come into play later on because there's a

188
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:08.159
lot of evidence there. And they also find keys inside

189
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.679
the pocket of Odin Lloyd, but no car was at

190
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.399
the scene and these keys were from a rental company.

191
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.080
So they have that lead and they're going to chase

192
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.879
down that lead. But in the meantime, they start interviewing

193
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.600
the family of Odin Lloyd, and they discover that Lloyd's

194
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:30.639
girlfriend and the girlfriend of Aaron Hernandez or sisters. They

195
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.840
also discovered those keys they found in Odin's pocket were

196
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:39.639
to a car that was rented by Aaron Hernandez. There

197
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.600
was also what I consider a big early key to

198
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:46.679
this case, a giant piece of evidence surface when police

199
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.200
theorized Odin. Lloyd knew something bad was going to happen

200
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.000
that night, and he text his sister.

201
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.600
Did you see who I'm with?

202
00:13:55.919 --> 00:14:01.399
And when she responded who, he replied in l Just

203
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.960
so you know, police know they need to talk to

204
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.360
Aaron Hernandez. So they drive to that home and they're

205
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.759
sitting out in front of that home. They're trying to

206
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.080
secure a search warrant, and they want to talk to him.

207
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.480
They've got a lot of evidence already on this guy,

208
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.120
but more than anything else, they want to make sure

209
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.519
he didn't just disappear.

210
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.600
Jim, did you see what happened in Texas today?

211
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.279
Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you

212
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:30.519
what happened in New York.

213
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:32.480
It cannot be as crazy as the case I told

214
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.080
you about yesterday in Louisiana.

215
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.159
You know what, we should do a podcast about it.

223
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:06.200
in the description of this podcast. In the meantime, other

224
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:10.039
detectives they search the cell phone of Oden Lloyd and

225
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.080
they discover the night he died, Aaron and Odin had

226
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:17.960
communicated late that night. So Aaron he notices on his

227
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.000
security cameras cops outside his house and they were in

228
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.279
an unmarked car, but Aaron knew they were cops, so

229
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.320
he calls his agent, who is also his attorney, and

230
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.080
he says, Heymrph, there's cops outside my house.

231
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.919
What should I do? And Murph is like, well, if

232
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.480
you've done anything wrong?

233
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.840
And Aaron's like no, and Mrph said, well, go out

234
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:44.720
there and ask them why they're sitting out in your

235
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:49.000
front yard. So he does and two detectives they see

236
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:52.480
Aaron her Nanez coming out and they get out and

237
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.519
they kind of meet him halfway. They identify themselves to Aaron,

238
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.000
and one detective asked him, did you rent a blok

239
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:05.360
Lack suburban, to which Hernandez says, yes, I rented it

240
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:06.240
from my friend.

241
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:07.360
Oh.

242
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.559
The detective said, who's oh, and Aaron says Odin. The

243
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.759
detective then says, how do you know Odin? And this

244
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:16.000
kind of goes back.

245
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:17.960
And forth between the.

246
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.240
Detective and Aaron, and Aaron's starting to get frustrated with

247
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:25.879
all these questions. He answered that when he said Odin's

248
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.240
girlfriend is my girlfriend's sister, that's how we know each other.

249
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.320
He then cuts off the conversation completely and he says, look,

250
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.080
I'm gonna check with my attorney. Y'all are asking too

251
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.159
many questions, and he walks away. Aaron goes back in

252
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.200
his house and the detectives are following close behind. He

253
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.960
goes inside, shuts the door and locks it. They's standing

254
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.759
there for a minute or so. He opens the door

255
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:54.679
back up and he hands the detectives a business card

256
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.399
for his lawyer, and the detectives they kind of hurriedly say,

257
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.159
we're investigating a out and at that point Aaron just

258
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:05.279
shuts the door, doesn't say a word, and likes it again.

259
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.759
Now to me, that's the biggest red flag of all.

260
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.960
What innocent person do y'all know that would not at

261
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.480
the very least upon hearing that say who died? And

262
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:19.519
I believe it was a test by the detectives, and

263
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:24.079
I believe that Aaron Hernandez failed that test with flying colors.

264
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.759
So the officers head back to their car and they

265
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.799
make a call to an assistant DA in the area

266
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:35.160
and they inform him of Aaron's representation. If you will,

267
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.960
they read him off the business card, and at that

268
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:42.079
point he tells the officers just sit tight because he

269
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.400
knew Aaron's lawyer. They actually knew each other very well,

270
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.440
had known each other for years. And the assistant DA

271
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.720
calls Aaron's lawyer and he lets him know, hey, the

272
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:54.920
police they need to talk to Aaron, and the lawyer

273
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.680
in turn calls Aaron, and I don't know what was

274
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.880
said during that conversation, but if a few minutes later,

275
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.559
Aaron emerges from the house. He has his girlfriend and

276
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:09.319
his child in two and he tells the officers he'll

277
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:13.240
follow them to the station to talk. So his girlfriend

278
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.440
is driving. She pulls up to the front of the station.

279
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.720
She lets Aaron out because his intention is he's going

280
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.720
to wait for his lawyers to get there and she's

281
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.599
gonna go ahead and drive back home, but as she's leaving,

282
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.200
the two detectives that met him at his house pull

283
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.400
her over and they start asking her questions in the

284
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.319
parking lot. They proceeded to ask her if she knew

285
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:38.319
who Odin Lloyd was, and she said, well, I don't

286
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.359
know him that well, he dates my sister. They asked

287
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.079
her the last time she saw Odin and she answered

288
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.079
it was this past Saturday morning. She gave the officers

289
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.400
at that point aaron cell number because they asked for it.

290
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.039
And then the officers asked, well, when was Aaron home

291
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:58.599
and when was he not home this past weekend? She

292
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.920
said he was home all day Sunday, but was gone

293
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.440
when she went to bed that night, and that was

294
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.440
the night that Odin Lloyd died. And it was about

295
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.400
this time that Aaron must have seen her from inside

296
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:13.720
the police station, because he called her on her cell

297
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.960
and he said, hey, look, Murphy, which is his lawyer, said,

298
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.599
did not talk to detectives about anything. She relays that

299
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.000
message and they let her go. So inside the station,

300
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:31.920
Hernandez's lawyers arrive and he confers with them back and forth,

301
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.079
but he goes outside to do that. As a matter

302
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.559
of fact, he walks to their car, gets in the

303
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.799
car with the attorneys and they're conferring, and police are

304
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.720
watching this. They're located on an upper level floor in

305
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.400
this police station, and they can actually see Aaron inside

306
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.160
of the car, and they see him pull out his

307
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:55.000
cell phone and remove his battery, which Aaron was known

308
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.839
at this time for being paranoid that people listen to

309
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.920
his conversations through his iPhone. He would tell a lot

310
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.720
of his friends that. So Aaron and his attorneys, they

311
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.440
get done conferring, they get out of the car, they

312
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.400
go back into the police station, and his attorneys, while

313
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:13.759
Aaron is standing there, says he's decided that he doesn't

314
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:17.559
want to interview at this time. So police say, okay, well,

315
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:20.559
can we see his cell phone and make a copy

316
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:22.720
of it and then we'll give it back to him,

317
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.640
And the attorney's basically said not without a warrant.

318
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:26.559
That was it.

319
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.720
They turn around and they leave and they bring Aaron

320
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.640
back to his house. Now word of gotten around.

321
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.240
Quickly in Boston. By this time, everybody.

322
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:41.480
Knew Aaron Hernandez in Boston, very popular New England patriot,

323
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:46.839
and in that time flight. The Patriots even heard, and

324
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.519
I'm talking to the upper level. I'm talking the owner

325
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:53.599
of the Patriots had heard, and they promptly bar him

326
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.759
from the stadium until he is cleared of any wrongdoing

327
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:02.880
in this case. Now, the same day that police attempted

328
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:07.160
to question her Nandez, they were also able to secure

329
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.799
a search warrant for his house and they searched it

330
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.839
for nearly four hours. They also asked for a cell

331
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.880
phone again, which this time it was given to them

332
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.039
in pieces form one of his attorneys. He smashed it.

333
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:24.200
They get a.

334
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:28.759
Hold to a security video from his residence and they

335
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:34.119
discover Aaron had tried to destroy the entire video, but

336
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.880
he screwed up and he didn't delete a big part

337
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.599
of it. We're going to get to that a little

338
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.200
later because it had some really damning footage on it,

339
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.319
including Aaron walking around the house with a gun.

340
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.240
So they gather all this.

341
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.680
Evidence and on June twenty sixth of twenty thirteen, Aaron

342
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:57.240
is arrested at his home and he's charged with the

343
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:01.200
murder of Odin Lloyd. In that very same day, the

344
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:05.759
New England Patriots release him from his contract. Aaron was

345
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:09.240
charged with first degree murder, and he was also charged

346
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:13.519
with some weapons offenses, a total of five in all,

347
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.200
and he was placed in suicide watch when he got

348
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.279
to the jail. Now that's standard for high profile inmates

349
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:24.640
for several reasons. First, you don't want other inmates trying

350
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:28.079
to make a name for themselves by attacking a high

351
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:32.519
profile inmate before a trial. And second, guys like Aaron

352
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:37.519
Hernandez lateral millionaires. They're not used to confinement and being

353
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.240
told when to eat, shower and all these sort of things.

354
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.440
And these inmates, if they're going to kill themselves, it's

355
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.599
going to be early on. So while Aaron was being

356
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.839
booked and introduced to his new home, something else hit

357
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:56.480
the news that was even more shocking. Aaron Hernandez was

358
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:01.079
a suspect in a double murder in boss a year

359
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:06.359
prior to his arrest. On July sixteenth of twenty twelve,

360
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.119
three friends went out for a night on the town.

361
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:12.799
At the end of the night, two of those friends

362
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:16.880
were dead. A guy by the name of George Abro

363
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.599
and a guy by the name of Supirio Fortado were

364
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.359
found shot and killed at a red light in Boston

365
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.079
after leaving a bar they were twenty eight years old.

366
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:31.400
A third man was also shot.

367
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:33.839
But he survived that drive by sheitting.

368
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.720
Now, not only did police suspect Aaron Hernandez was the

369
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.160
one who killed him, they had a witness that was

370
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.039
willing to testify to it.

371
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.240
So We're going to fast.

372
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:47.680
Forward a little bit and I'm going to give you

373
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.920
a bit of a timeline up to the trial. On

374
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.519
June twenty eighth of twenty thirteen, police recover a silver

375
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.640
Chrysler they believe Aaron and two other men were.

376
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.279
In the night of the shitty. Who were those two

377
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:03.799
other men?

378
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.079
A guy by the name of Carlos or Tees and

379
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.640
another guy by the name of Ernest Wallace. Now these

380
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:13.960
two guys were bad news and not the type of

381
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:19.119
people that Hernandez would typically hang out with. Basically a

382
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.519
couple of want to be thugs. So I mentioned the car,

383
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.400
and it was interesting not only how they found it,

384
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.599
but where.

385
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:27.519
They found it.

386
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:30.599
So the house side of that is they had plenty

387
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.920
of video with these two guys and Aaron together with

388
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:40.000
Odin Lloyd, and I'm talking surveillance video from street cameras, etc.

389
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.319
The night he was murdered, they were riding around in

390
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.680
the exact car. They even had video of Hernandez stopping

391
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:50.160
and getting gas.

392
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.920
With all three of them.

393
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:55.160
Hernandez actually went inside of a store and he bought

394
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:59.400
some blue bubbleishes gum that would play big role in

395
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.920
this case later on. But the wear as it relates

396
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:05.720
to this car that they found is even more intriguing.

397
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:09.720
Remember Aaron's older cousin, Tanya Singleton, who he.

398
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:10.799
Looked at like a mother.

399
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.799
They found out Tanya was the person he trusted most

400
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.119
in the world. They secured a search warrant to search

401
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.519
her home, knowing some sort of evidence may be there,

402
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:25.480
and sure enough, in the garage covered with a tarp

403
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:31.319
was a Nissan Ultima. And not just that, five forty

404
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:36.000
five caliber shell casings fired from the same gun that

405
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:41.839
killed Odin Lloyd were found. Fingerprints of both Hernandez and

406
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.920
Odin Lloyd were found on that car as well, and

407
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:48.759
it's important to note that Tanya at this point she

408
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:54.400
had stage four cancer. So on July ninth of twenty thirteen,

409
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:59.160
police released text messages between Lloyd and Hernandez on the

410
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.759
night of the murder, in which Hernandez texted Lloyd quote,

411
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.279
do you want to meet up? I want to step

412
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:08.920
out for a little Odin texted quote we still on

413
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.200
which that text was sent at twelve thirty in the

414
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:18.279
morning on the night Odin died. On July thirtieth of

415
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.680
twenty thirteen, police divers they search a lake in Bristol,

416
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.359
Connecticut after they got an anonymous tip, and they're looking

417
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.640
for that murder weapon. But nothing turned up in that lake. However,

418
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:36.359
the next month, police in Springfield, Massachusetts, they find a

419
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:40.920
weapon which just so happens to be the gun used

420
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:46.200
in the twenty twelve double murder in Boston. Then in

421
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:51.960
September of twenty thirteen, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz they

422
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:57.440
are indicted in the murder of Odin Lloyd. They have

423
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:00.759
gathered enough evidence to tie three up them to this.

424
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:05.119
But it shortly after that that Hernandez is fighting a

425
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:10.599
lawsuit against another shooting victim. Now, this victim alleged he

426
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:13.880
was shot in the face, and that guy's name is

427
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.519
Alexander Bradley. So let's talk about this guy, Alexander Bradley,

428
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.799
because he tells a wild story about his relationship with

429
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:27.799
Aaron Hernandez. So they were friends and Alexander Bradley not

430
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:29.880
the type of guy to be played with, kind of

431
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:30.440
a gangster.

432
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:30.880
Now.

433
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.359
Bradley contends that he and Aaron go out one night,

434
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.559
this is in February of twenty thirteen, to a strip

435
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.880
club in Miami called Tootsis Cabaret.

436
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.720
They leave the.

437
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.799
Club early that morning, and they were having conversation about

438
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.000
an incident that I touched on earlier. And I'll give

439
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.000
you the details later, but let's just say for now

440
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.880
that it involved that double shooting I've already mentioned. So

441
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.359
it's during the conversation and Hernandez gets more in more

442
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:05.240
pissed off at Bradley. Hernandez pulls out a gun, shoots

443
00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:09.119
Bradley in the face, and leaves him for dead in

444
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:12.680
the wee hours of the morning in an industrial park.

445
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:16.759
What Aaron didn't know is that another car was in

446
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:20.480
that industrial park at the time, and the occupant of

447
00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:24.839
that car drives to where he hears a gunshot and

448
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.319
he sees a body laying in the road. He calls

449
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:33.039
an ambulance and he literally saves the life of Bradley,

450
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.240
who was severely injured gunshot to the face. Right police

451
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.559
show up at the scene. Detectives go to the hospital

452
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:44.000
to interview Bradley, but he ain't talking. I mean, he's

453
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:48.279
a street guy, right, and he wants to handle this himself.

454
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.079
So he ends up from the.

455
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:52.400
Shooting being blind in one eye.

456
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:58.880
Now what's crazy is Aaron after he shot Bradley. Later on,

457
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:04.079
come to find out he actually called Bradley's girlfriend and

458
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:06.480
he asked her she had heard from Bradley. He acted

459
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.279
like he and Bradley never showed up at that club.

460
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:14.240
The problem was plenty of surveillance footage of this from

461
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.200
street cameras, etc. At that point, he did not realize

462
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.839
that Bradley had survived, and it would not be long

463
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.640
before he would realize that Alexander Bradley did indeed survive.

464
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.759
When Bradley himself as soon as he was able to

465
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:35.359
calls Aaron her Nan does, Aaron picks up the phone

466
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:39.720
and Bradley says, what up? And Aaron's response to that

467
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:44.839
was who is this? Which he knew exactly who it was.

468
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.279
But long story short, on that, Alexander Bradley files a

469
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:54.759
civil suit regarding Hernandez shooting him. So all this becomes public.

470
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:58.400
So what was that shooting all about? Well, they get

471
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:02.400
into an argument because as Alexander Bradley told him, quote,

472
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.359
you need to settle down before you pull some stupid

473
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:09.000
shit like those two guys you killed in Boston.

474
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:10.440
That's right, folks.

475
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.759
Not only did Alexander Bradley know about Hernandez being responsible

476
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:20.240
for that double murder in Boston in twenty twelve, he

477
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:24.759
witnessed it. So let's get into the details. On July

478
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:30.480
sixteenth of twenty twelve, Daniel Brew and Superior for Tito.

479
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:33.599
They go to a club and according to.

480
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.039
Bradley, it was the same club in Boston that he

481
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.480
and Aaron went out to. Now, everyone's having a good

482
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:45.559
time that night until completely on accident in this jam

483
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:50.079
pack club, one of the men accidentally spills his drink

484
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:54.440
in just a little bit of it splashes onto Aaron Hernandez.

485
00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:57.359
But this dude's got a short temper. He gets pissed

486
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.799
off pretty quick. So Bradley said that that point forward,

487
00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:04.559
Hernandez whole demeanor chain. It was like he went from

488
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:10.559
happy to piste off in two seconds flat, like most

489
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:15.240
psychopaths would do. Right well, just as they are pulling

490
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:17.839
out of the club, because he decides, hey man, we

491
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:21.799
need to get out of here. Her Nandez spots the

492
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:27.359
guy in a vehicle that drives right past him in Alexander,

493
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:32.279
and he tells Alexander, hey follow that vehicle. They follow

494
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:35.400
these people. They pull up side by side of the

495
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:38.480
red light, and according to Bradley, before he knew anything

496
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:43.000
was happening, Hernandez pulls out a gun and just starts

497
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:46.599
firing into that other vehicle, and he killed the two

498
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:50.440
occupants in the car, injured a third, and I believe

499
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:52.920
there was a fourth in the car that was not injured.

500
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.599
And he and Alexander sped away right before the trial

501
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.759
is starting for the Oden Lloyd case. He gets indicted

502
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:05.119
for that double murder, but that trial for that double

503
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.440
murder would have to wait, so Aaron at this point

504
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:12.480
he's in jail. He's a waiting trial for the Odin

505
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.799
Lloyd murder, and work gets out that he is not

506
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.279
playing well with other inmates. On February twenty fifth of

507
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.680
twenty fourteen, as he was out of his cell, another

508
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.599
inmate who was also out totally by mistake, he sees

509
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:31.359
Aaron and in an attempt to make a name for himself,

510
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:36.160
they throw down, but by most accounts, Aaron gets the

511
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.960
best of him in this altercation. Also around that time,

512
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.119
it comes out that Aaron also threatened to beat the

513
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:47.599
shit out of a jail worker, So jail by.

514
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:49.359
This time is getting to him.

515
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:55.200
Then, finally, on June twenty ninth of twenty fifteen, the

516
00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:00.880
trial in the murder of Odin Lloyd. And I'm going

517
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.920
to pick up in the next episode with the details

518
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:09.319
of that trial. But I bet you thought when I

519
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:11.599
started this when I wasn't going to tell you this

520
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:16.039
guy was a just about a legit serial killer, Aaron

521
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:19.000
her nand is just a really sad story. Is we

522
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:23.319
get deeper into it. Thank you so much for listening today.
