Though the police department and prosecutors uncovered a massive amount of evidence in the death of Odin Lloyd one thing that wasn’t quite clear was the motive. In previous reports I read Aaron Hernandez allegedly committed the murder because Lloyd conversed with someone Hernandez didn’t like. That theory just seemed incredibly weak and dumb (for lack of a better word). Well now there’s possibly another theory in the case. Read more after the jump.
According to TMZ, Lloyd knew several of Hernandez’s secrets that could jeopardize his relationship with his fiancee and his football career and he began throwing them back in Hernandez’s face.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … there are several operating theories, but a prevailing one based on evidence they have already unearthed is that Lloyd “mouthed off” to Hernandez about “secrets” Hernandez had told him in the past.
As for what the nature of the secrets — we’re told they involve 2 issues: Aaron’s involvement in drugs and Aaron’s involvement in several violent incidents.
Our law enforcement sources tell TMZ … they do not believe Lloyd tried to extort Hernandez — in other words, ask for money in return for secrecy. The theory is that Hernandez went ballistic after Lloyd started throwing damaging information in Hernandez’s face — information Hernandez thought would end his relationship with his fiancée and his football career.
