pieces of evidence, distinctive tire tracks, lloyd's cell phone and keys for that black suburban he had been driving all weekend. police quickly learn it was rented by new england patriot, aaron hernandez. over the next several days, investigators search his home and cars, removing bags of possible evidence, including hernandez's cell phone, but a law enforcement source says it's badly cracked, possibly intentionally, before it was handed over. june 26th, 2013, nine days after the murder of odin lloyd, hernandez is arrested. the charges, first-degree premeditated murder and having illegal weapons. his plea? >> not guilty. >> and he's no longer a new england patriot. >> i and other members of the organization were shocked and disappointed.

>> hernandez is canned before he reaches the courthouse. >> mr. hernandez is charged with a very serious crime, but that shouldn't be enough to hold him without bail. >> and he's staying in jail. his attempts at bail denied. >> i think the commonwealth presented a case that's circumstantial to be sure, but very, very strong. >> hours after his arrest, the public hears those details for the first time. 9:02 p.m. father's day, june 16th. >> the defendant had sent a text message to a friend of his who was out of state, "please make it back." >> that friend is ernest wallace in hernandez' hometown of bristol, connecticut, more than 100 miles away. at 9:35, hernandez texts him again, "get your ass up here." wallace is joined by carlos ortiz. both have criminal records.

at about the same time, hernandez is also texting lloyd. "i'm coming to grab that tonight. you going to be around? i need that and we can step for a little again." when lloyd doesn't answer immediately, hernandez sends another text at 9:34. "what up?" lloyd answers at 9:37, "all right, where"? at 9:39, hernandez replies, "i don't know, it don't matter, but i'm going to hit you when i'm that way." after midnight, surveillance stills released by authorities show wallace and ortiz arriving at hernandez's home. inside, the football player is holding what appears to be a gun. and he is not happy. >> he makes a statement that he's upset, that he can't trust anyone anymore. the three of them departed the defendant's home at 1:12 in the morning in the silver nissan altima.

>> there are no homes there, no artificial lighting. >> it's 3:23 and odin lloyd sends his sister the final text, tell her he's with nfl, adding "just so you know." between 3:23 and 3:27, workers nearby tell police they hear gunshots. hernandez's home is only a half mile from the murder scene. at 3:29, a camera shows an altima pulling up in hernandez's driveway. only three people get out. odin lloyd isn't one of them. >> the defendant goes walking towards the house. >> back inside the house, images show wallace, then again with ortiz in a basement doorway, with hernandez nearby and this, hernandez wearing white with a gun in his left hand. police, a law enforcement source says, believe this is the murder weapon, a .45-caliber gun. it remains missing.

>> they all then go down to the basement. once in the basement, the surveillance gets shut off. >> around 5:30 that evening, prosecutors say hernandez and his two friends show up here to return their rented nissan altima. the manager tells investigators hernandez offers her blue bubble gum. it's the same kind he bought at that gas station, and now it's showing up in the returned rental, along with a .45-caliber bullet casing. the manager tosses the gum and bullet casing in a dumpster. police say the shell came from the same gun that fired the rounds at the murder scene. and they say tire impressions taken near the body match the kind of tires on the altima. hernandez's attorneys won't

comment on the case, and all parties are muzzled by a gag order. for family and friends of odin lloyd, knowing some details helps, but they don't answer this question. >> why? that's the biggest question. why?

as aaron hernandez adjusts to life behind bars, charged with murder, yet another accusation of gun violence makes headlines.

four months before odin lloyd is gunned down, the football player is at tootsie's strip club in miami. a law enforcement source says hernandez drops about 10 grand that night. one of the men he's with, alexander bradley. prosecutors describe him as hernandez's former right-hand man. by morning, bradley is shot in the face, dumped out of a vehicle, and left for dead. still wearing his now-blood-soaked vip wristband from the club. police retrieve this bullet fragment from his head. but bradley won't give them any details. >> when police investigate this, bradley won't give them any

details. bradley later tells him he was shot after hernandez felt disrespected during an argument over a missing cell phone. after bradley is shot, prosecutors say hernandez gets a new right-hand man, earnest wallace. >> this defendant is more commonly known by his nickname, which is hobo. >> wallace has a long criminal history. prosecutors say he sells and loses drugs, including angel dust, or pcp. he is not the only one. court documents show that wallace's side kicks, ortiz, shows he is regularly abusing alcohol, thc, and pot. sources tell cnn that sources say that aaron hernandez also smoked pot. one calling it a boat load.

prosecutors say he would give odin lloyd money to buy him marijuana. sources tell cnn aaron hernandez also used angel dust and that could have made him paranoid. one says he felt he was a target, that people were coming after him. >> a combination of those drugs, depending on the long-term use of the drugs and the amount of drugs could cause someone to become violent. could cause someone to become very paranoid. could cause someone to overreact to a situation, appear to be more impulsive. >> that kind of behavior doesn't dscribe the aaron hernandez many remember growing up in bristol, connecticut. >> he was just kind of goofy and

fun. >> kind of had a baby face, you know, all the teachers loved him. >> they played basketball with aaron beginning in middle school. >> he was twice the size of me, we were like the same height, he was more athletic obviously. i mean, he practiced like all the time. >> >> practiced because his father, dennis, pushed him constantly. >> his father was pretty strict. i mean, he told me his father used to make him shoot 500 shots before he went to play with friends. his dad clearly kept him anchored. >> bob montgomery covers high school sports for the bristol press. >> i saw a closeness with them that i had never seen before. there was something about dennis and aaron, the way they intertwined. it was magic. >> but in a heartbeat, that closeness is gone. >> i was sitting in math class with another teammate, the phone rang, he went to pick up the

phone. and then she said,"you need to go up to the coach's room." coach walks in and says, "dennis has passed away." >> dennis hernandez, aaron's father, his anchor, dies after routine hernia surgery. it hit 16-year-old aaron hard. >> he was just sad. he couldn't stop the tears. >> felt uncomfortable to see him so hurt. i felt bad for him. >> that father/son relationship comes up in conversations with sheriff thomas hudson, who runs the jail where hernandez is held for a year before being moved. >> clearly at 16 years old, losing your father, it would be easy to fall into the life-style of following the people that don't help you make the best choices. >> one choice he makes is to tattoo some of his dad's advice on his arms. >> this is a quote my father

with the man who kept him grounded now gone, aaron hernandez takes a pass on his father's school, the university of connecticut, cutting his high school senior year in half. he heads to the university of florida. >> then i was kind of just bummed that he wasn't going to be on our basketball team. >> in january 2007, he joins the gators and star quarterback, tim tebow. by april, still long before the gators season opener, there is trouble off the field. the rookie teen loses his cool at this popular off-campus

restaurant. there is an argument between aaron hernandez and the manager over a bill. tim tebow tries to calm things down and settle the check, but according to this police report, it all ends with aaron hernandez sucker-punching the manager on the left side of his head, bursting an eardrum. the manager later tells police, university of florida coaches and lawyers have contacted him, and they are working on an agreement. a university spokesman says they are not aware of any settlement. five months later, in september, there's more trouble. this time, a shooting near the university. it begins with young men snatching gold neck chains at a local club. there's an argument in the parking lot across the street. police report several uf football players are involved, including hernandez. >> i know hernandez was there. there was trouble.

>> there was arguing loud. >> the suspected chain snatchers get into this man's car. his name is corey and doesn't want his face shown for fear of retribution. can you point out roughly where it was? moments after leaving the club, someone fires into corey's crown vic, hitting him in the head. >> can you tell me and show me, where is it that that bullet went? it came right about there? >> i can't imagine what he would have felt that night. >> corey's aunt stephanie remembers he nearly died. >> his heart stopped a couple times. >> they had to take half of my skull to get the bullet out. i was in rehab and they helped me to walk again and talk again. >> police interview more than 20 people, and they try to question hernandez, but he's the only one who doesn't make a statement after invoking his right to counsel.

at the time, his mother, terry hernandez, tells the "orlando sentinel," "i know he was at the club, but he never saw any shooting." it's still an open case. no one has ever been charged. both corey and his aunt stephanie have been trying to get to the truth for seven years. you've done a lot to try to get to the heart of what happened. what about going to the university of florida? >> i tried it. i was just told that they would put the guys on curfew so that they could, i guess, lessen their activities in clubs and things of that nature. i would have like to seen some more in-depth questioning of those football players. >> citing privacy laws, the university of florida won't discuss specifics of how players are disciplined.

was hernandez on a slippery slope? he was tearing up the field as a gator, but some who knew him were worried, especially when he was unsupervised away from the game. "if you could keep him on one side, he would be fine," one source put it. the problem was he couldn't stay away from the other side, adding it was a recipe for disaster. and it was a recipe that included marijuana. hernandez was suspended at least once for using the drug. it's an issue that follows him when he enters the draft his junior year. >> teams spend a lot of money on background checks, hiring private investigators to be sure this is somebody who will enter the nfl and stay out of trouble. >> and how far back do they go? >> if you done something in middle school, they will go back and find somebody that was around that time and ask them.

>> trying to head off trouble before the draft, hernandez goes on the offensive, writing a letter to the patriots' director of personnel. "if you draft me as a member of the new england patriots," he wrote, "i will willfully submit to a biweekly drug test throughout my rookie season." >> prior to the draft, aaron hernandez was a player that could be a first-round pick and no later than a second round pick. >> and now with another selection they go aaron hernandez. >> he ends up the 113th pick, passed over until the fourth round. >> i have to believe that him falling so far is more than just a story about marijuana. there were questions raised in background checks about him that caused teams to say we'll downgrade him on our draft board. >> but during his first year with the patriots, he proves himself. >> there were questions that, oh, he's too young to be in the league, he's not going to get belichick's system.

it's a silver suv, but in the life of aaron hernandez, it's much more. while searching his cousin's home for clues in odin lloyd's murder, police stumble on a toyota 4runner. it's in a garage and it belongs to a leasing company who loaned it to the patriot tight end in exchange for promotional work.

for the past year, boston police have been looking for an suv linked to an unsolved double-murder. this appears to be it. how difficult has this loss been for you, sir, as a father? ernesto de abreu's son, daniel, was killed in the drive-by shooting outside a boston nightclub with his friend, safiro furtado, on july 16th, 2012. witnesses say two men in a silver suv with rhode island plates pulls alongside de abreu's car, shots are fired. what do you miss the most about him?

aaron hernandez, seen on security video, police say, with another man following furtado into that club and stalking them in a silver suv after they leave. almost a year after he is charged with odin lloyd's murder, aaron hernandez is indicted for the murders of those two young men. >> how do you plead to this indictment? >> not guilty. >> the defendant leaned out of the driver's side window of the suv with a loaded revolver in his hand extended out. the defendant immediately fired into the victim's car. >> but why? >> daniel de abreu, while dancing nearby, bumped into the

defendant, causing his drink to spill. >> it was nothing more than a spilled drink. >> he said he had deliberately bumped him and was quote, trying him. >> court documents identify the friend with hernandez that night as alexander bradley, the same alexander bradley who said hernandez later shot his right eye because the football player felt disrespected during an argument over a cell phone, all leading to a key question. do those two violent acts suggest a dangerous pattern of behavior driven by paranoia? cnn has learned that prosecutors believe that behavior is what led to odin lloyd's murder. a source with knowledge of the investigation says the night they were at this club, hernandez gets angry when he sees lloyd talking with two men. and angry again later at

hernandez' apartment when lloyd gets a look at guns and ammo kept there. it is not clear exactly what ticked hernandez off. the source will only say it is as trivial as that spilled drink allegedly behind the double murder. >> motive does not have to be proven under the law. >> jerry leoni is both a former massachusetts district attorney and federal prosecutor. >> juries like motive. juries want to know why somebody did something, especially when they have done something that is alleged to have been as heinous as this one. >> the defendant was the one. >> a motive, no matter how trivial, would make the state's case stronger. prosecutors have already made the case strong by upgrading the charges against co-defendants ortiz and wallace to murder. >> how do you plead?

>> not guilty. >> charging ortiz and wallace with murder signals this will be a joint prosecution of murder, where anybody who actively participates in the murder can be held guilty for the murder. >> that would mean hernandez could be convicted of murder even if prosecutors can't prove he fired the gun. but none of this makes the case but none of this makes the case rock solid. it still has holes. >> there remains no murder weapon. >> conviction without a gun is more difficult. still ahead, even a jail cell can't keep aaron hernandez from getting into more trouble. ♪ :
