As the pace of the Odin Lloyd murder investigation appears, from an external perspective, to have slowed, a judge has ensured that the public will continue to be in the dark.

According to Christine McConville of the Boston Herald, the file has been sealed.

All records of the Attleboro District Court Clerk Magistrate’s office involving the homicide investigation in North Attleboro have been impounded by order of the court,” said a notice posted by Attleboro District Court Magistrate Mark E. Sturdy outside his office on Tuesday. “No further information is available at this time.”

This means that no documents will be given to the media, including search warrants or arrest warrants.

Meanwhile, police have not returned to Hernandez’s home today. On Saturday, they searched the property for four hours. On Monday, police searched a nearby pond, finding “no evidence.”

The media stakeout at Hernandez’s home noticed that two men in “business attire” arrived at Hernandez’s house in a BMW convertible on Tuesday. They knocked on the door, made a phone call, and then were allowed inside.
