Prosecutors believe they have images of Aaron Hernandez holding the gun used to kill Odin Lloyd. They’re now trying once again to find the gun itself.

According to WFSB-TV, authorities are searching Pine Lake in Bristol, Connecticut for the .45 caliber handgun.

The development comes only days after authorities searched the Bristol, Connecticut home of Hernandez’s uncle for a second time.

Carlos Ortiz reportedly told police that he and Wallace returned to the uncle’s home the day after the murder. Apparently, someone thinks that someone threw the gun into Pine Lake.
