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 strip club in miami. a law enforcement source said hernandez drops about ten 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 the police investigated this incident, alexander bradley didn't point the finger at hernandez. >> that changes when bradley sues, claiming aaron hernandez cost him his right eye. bradley later tells prosecutors 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. ernest wallace. >> this defendant is commonly known by his nickname, hobo. >> wallace has a long criminal history. prosecutors say he sells and uses drugs including the hallucinogen angel dust or pcp. he's not the only one. wallace's side kick, ortiz, said he's regularly abusing pcp, alcohol and thc, pot.

one source says hernandez also smoked a lot of pot, one calling it a boat load. prosecutors say the tight end would give odin lloyd money to buy him marijuana. cnn obtained this photograph of a stack of blunts, a source says it was made with marijuana, said to be supplied by hernandez. 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. >> the 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 describe the aaron hernandez many remember growing up in bristol, connecticut. where his family was celebrated as a local sports dynasty. >> i don't think there was another family that was more familiar in bristol. aaron was our golden boy. he had the family traits his father and his uncle were standout athletes. >> his older brother, d.j., was a sports hero too. bob montgomery covers high school sports for the bristol press. >> aaron did track in addition to football and also did basketball. he was described in any sport as he played in as a man playing

with children. >> brad mcmillan and andrew ragali played basketball with aaron beginning in middle school. >> he was twice the size of me, like the same height but he was just more athletic, obviously, and 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 h father used to make him shoot 500 shots before he played with his friends. his dad clearly kept them anchored. >> i saw a closeness with them i had never seen before. there was something about dennis and aaron, the way they intertwined. it was just magic, in my eyes. >> but in a heartbeat, that

closeness is gone. >> i was sitting in math class with another teammate, phone rang. went to pick up the phone and the teacher said you need to go up to the coach's room. coach walks in and he says, dennis has passed away. >> dennis hernandez, aaron's father, dies after routine hernia surgery. it hits 16-year-old aaron hard. >> he is just sad. couldn't stop the tears. >> felt uncomfortable just to see him so hurt. i felt bad for him. >> that father/son relationship comes up in conversations with sheriff thomas hodgson who runs the jail where hernandez was held for a year before being moving. >> 16 years old, losing your father. it would be easy to fall into the lifestyle of following 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. >> there's a quote my father always used to give me, if it is to be, it is up to me. whatever i want my life to me, it's up to me to make it up that way. >> when it comes time to make his college pick, not even his brother d.j. can get to join where his dad played, the

>> welcome to ruers in the united states. searchers have now found the tail section of air asia flight 8501. this is a crucial development as it's a part of the plane that carries the flight data and the flight voice recorders we refer to as black boxes. let's go ahead and bring in our

anna corin. a short time ago, anna, you were hopeful. you mentioned that divers had detected an object that was detected by sonar. is this the same object or a new lead? a new development? >> look, errol, we just don't know. what we can tell you is the head of indonesia search and rescue has uncovered the tail. it has been located in the second area. we believe that is where they have extend the search area, the 100 nautical miles that was extended in recent days. so this is big news. because as you say, the black boxes, both of them, the flight data recorder and the flies data recorder are both located in the tail of this aircraft. so hopefully this will give investigators an idea as to what exactly happened to this flight when it took off on the 28th of

december on its way to singap e singapore. 42 minutes into the flight, it basically fell off the radar. a minute beforehand, the pilot had been communicating with air control tower asking to move the route and also to move to a higher altitude, that was denied because of the busy air traffic. minutes later, they lost all communication. and since then, we discovered that the plane crashed into the java sea. obviously that search area, 45,000 square kill meters, an enormous expanse of water to search for the wreckage of this plane. but it seems that they have now found the tail. certainly very promising news, which will bring some hope and give some answers not just to investigators but to family to the 152 passengers and crew. >> obviously as you mentioned,

this is very, very promising news. if they do find the tail and black box located in the tail. but in terms of priority, if these are the black boxes, how much of a priority is it to still locate all of the wreckage as well? there was such an emphasis on finding the black boxes because of the answers everybody wants. why did they crash into the java sea with 165 people onboard. people want to know. this will hopefully give investigators, answers. but in terms of the remaining wreckage, the hunt is still on. there are many vessels, planes, helicopters and divers out in the search area doing just that.

we know that another two bodies have also been located. they are yet to be pulled out of the waet. this news is coming in from the head of the search and rescue agency here in indonesia. but another two bodies have been located. soo, you know, this is ongoing and this is going to continue. but as i say, the weather is causing problems. divers have been trying to get into the water. visibility has been virtually zero. today they finally did get into the water. we don't know if those divers have actually located the tail. if this is what they have actually discovered. we're waiting for more news, waiting for that confirmation, but certainly, zain, this search will continue until they can find the wreckage and the bodies. but as we have been discussing authorities strongly believe the majority of passengers and crew will be found still in their seats, strapped into their seats

with the main part of the wreck alg at the bottom of the java sea. >> the tail section of asia air flight 8501 have been found. 97 .dooirs spread around the search zone, how many resources are available now to get to where this tail may be, to hoist it up and get to the next step of this process? >> from what we know, they have all the equipment they now need. this is not just the indonesians. the americans are involved with the uss sampson. we know the chinese, the japanese, the malaysians are also involved in this effort, and that's out at sea and here.

the identification process is under way. that's an international efrl as well. we spent time yesterday with the head of the disaster head of unit. they've got the australians, the singaporeans, the koreans, even forensic officers helping. this is very much an international effort to try to give answers to return bodies. searchers can get out there, find the bodies, retrieve them, then they can give them to the families and they can give them a proper burial. but as we know, the harsh reality is that they are not going to find all the bodies of the 162 people onboard. >> such a tragic story. i'm sure as you mentioned, when it comes to down loading information on those black boxes, we will see a lot of

countries involved beyond just mala malaysia. i'm sure beyond just indonesia and australia as well. thank you, we appreciate it. okay, we'll have the latest development on this story for our viewers in the united states and around the world at the top of the next hour. for now, our viewers in the united states will rejoin programming already in progress. thank you. >> i playeds 20 years. >> kevin falk said checks are thorough and intensive. how far back do they go? >> if you've done something in middle school, they're going to go back and find somebody 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.

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 forerunner. 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 a 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? >> -- >> son daniel was killed with safiro furtado in 2012. two men in a silver suv with rhode island plates pulls alongside a car. shots are fired. finding that suv and other chips leads to a stunning discovery. aaron hernandez, seen on

security video police say with another man following abreu and furtado into that nightclub and stalking them in a silver suv after they leave. almost a year after he's charged with odin lloyd's murder -- >> aaron hernandez, please rise. >> aaron hernandez is indicted for the murders of those two young men. >> how do you plead in 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 at least five rounds from a .38 caliber revolver into the victim's car. >> but why? >> daniel abreu, while dancing nearby, accidentally bumped into the defendant causing the defendant's drink to partially spill. >> the motive, prosecutors say, is nothing more than a spilled drink by a complete stranger. >> the defendant told his friend that mr. d. abreu 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 says hernandez later shot out 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 the 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's apartment when lloyd gets to look at guns and ammo kept there. it's unclear whether there was another tipping point. possibly, prosecutors say was mad at him for telling lloyd about the double murder. >> motive does not have to be proven under the law. >> leony, federal prosecutor. >> juries like motive. juries like to know why someone did something, especially when they've done something that's alleged to have been as heinous as this buzz.

>> the motive, no matter how trivial, would make the state's case stronger. prosecutors have already bolstered the case by codefendant's case to murder. >> how do you plead? >> not guilty. >> charging of carlos ortiz and wallace for murder is a joint venture prosecution. anyone who actively participates in the murder can be held guilty for the murder. >> that would mean hernandez could be convicted of a murder even if prosecutors can't prove he fired the gun. 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 -- >> all based on speculation. >> are the holes about to get larger? attorneys argue whether jurors should hear odin lloyd's very last text. >> they are totally innocuous.

is surrounded by family. hangs on every word. and after 18 months of waiting, the justice she seeks may finally be around the corner. hernandez's trial gets under way this month. for more than a year, sheriff thomas hodgson was in charge of keaching an eye on hernandez. >> i talked at him in length. there is a warmth within this person. >> what went wrong? >> learned behaviors. and the environment that people grow up in have an incredible influence on who we become. >> sheriff thomas hodgson believes in modifying behavior behind bars. he says inmate number 174954 reads the bible. and another book, he suggested. i got to read tuesdays with morrie. it examines how to create a centered meaningful life. >> he was clearly moved by the book. he called his mother.

told her she needed to read it. the sheriff tells hernandez to find his center by turning to his childhood anchor. his late dad. >> he would never be able to get back to that play that you felt comfortable and safe in. that's only going to happen if you go back and talk to your father. go back to your cell and talk to your father. >> what did he think about that advice? >> when i see him, every so often. did you do what i asked you? no, i'm getting there. >> it's not as the bad now that i'm not playing. >> retired patriot running back, kevin faulk isn't giving of on his ex-teammate. >> i want to tell him he has somebody praying for him. >> prosecutors say he

orchestrated the execution of someone. >> you are not going to make me believe he is a monster. because you used those type of words. >> not even two more murders charges in the so-called spilled drink case. have changed faulk's opinion of the player he knew. >> get the question all the time -- you think your boy did it? no, i don't want him to have done it. so you want me to say no. no, i don't think he did it. at the same time, anybody can be pushed to be drastic like that. if they push you to that point. >> his friend is about to go on trial for the murder of odin lloyd. the first of two murder trials. expected to revolve around electronic evidence. including data from hernandez's cell phone. his lawyers had tried but failed to get it excluded from trial. >> why was the defense so intent
