According to the Boston Globe, authorities found “numerous boxes” of ammunition and a white hoodie that Hernandez possibly wore the night of Odin Lloyd’s death.
“This sweatshirt is consistent in color and type with the sweatshirt that Hernandez is observed to be wearing on surveillance cameras the night of the homicide,” authorities wrote in an affidavit.
Ortiz also had told police he forgot his phone at Hernandez’s apartment. The phone was retrieved during the search.
Per the Boston Herald, police also found a cranberry-colored baseball hat Hernandez was believed to be wearing two nights before the killing of Lloyd.
No drugs were found in the search, despite a Herald headline seizing language in the search warrant mentioning the possibility that cocaine could be concealed on any of the persons present at Hernandez’s apartment. Also present were paychecks from the Patriots and Puma, an endorser that has since dropped Hernandez. (It may be a good idea to get those checks cashed ASAP.)
The clothing will help prosecutors establish some of the various pieces of evidence necessary to build a thorough, methodical case against Hernandez. With video images of Hernandez wearing the hoodie (on the night of the murder) and the hat (two nights earlier, outside a club with Lloyd), prosecutors need to be able to seal off any potential “it wasn’t me” defense.
