Investigators are looking into Jenkins' relationship with Hernandez and the possibility if she was instructed to take the gun and/or the gun safe to another location.

According to the Bristol Press, a search warrant were granted to look into Hernandez's storage facility and security cameras at the Bristol storage facility after footage of Jenkins was shown transporting a lock box from the house to her sister's vehicle.

Investigators discovered the Bristol storage room after going through Hernandez's financial records after searching another storage unit at U.S. Storage in July.

A warrant was released for Wallace's arrest for an accessory to murder, but in his surrendering in Florida he denied the charges.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge.
