PROVIDENCE -- The murder investigation surrounding Aaron Hernandez, a star tight end on the New England Patriots, touched down in Providence this week.
Providence police Det. Capt. Michael E. Correia confirmed that, on Thursday, his department assisted detectives from the Massachusetts State Police and North Attleboro police who wanted to retrieve a video from Club Desire, a strip club at 1 Franklin Sq., off of Eddy Street.
Correia said the video captured several nights of footage at the club. Hernandez was a frequent visitor at the club and presumably investigators want to see if the football player was there last weekend and who was with him.
Hernandez also was known to frequent other strip clubs in Providence, like the Cadillac Lounge.
"He's a customer at the Cadillac, a good customer," said owner Dick Shappy. "They all come. Some I've never heard of. Well, (quarterback Tom) Brady never showed up."
On Monday, a jogger discovered the body of Odin L. Lloyd, 27, a semi-pro football from Boston, at a industrial park about a mile from Hernandez home in North Attleboro. Hernandez and Lloyd knew each other.
