Aaron Hernandez: Investigators prepared to interview Conn. man killed in crash

(MyFoxBoston.com) – A Connecticut man killed in a car crash early Sunday morning was possibly going to be interviewed by investigators in connection with the Aaron Hernandez murder case.

According to The Hartford Courant, investigators were prepared to interview 33-year-old Thaddeus Singleton, III in connection with the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd.

Multiple sources told the newspaper that Singleton, who was killed when his car went off the road and careened into the Farmington County Club in Conn., was associated with Hernandez and of interest to investigators.

The car Singleton was driving during the crash was registered to Hernandez's uncle, who is Singleton's father-in-law, the newspaper reports.

It is unknown if Singleton knew investigators were interested in his connection to Hernandez.

Hernandez, a Bristol, Conn. native, is currently awaiting trial for the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd. Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd's execution-style shooting near the former professional football player's North Attleboro home on June 17.
