5 Investigates has learned new information about the drawings found in Aaron Hernandez’s prison cell and some of the contents of the letters he wrote to his fiancee and their daughter. Hernandez was found just after 3 a.m. Wednesday morning, hanging from bedsheets that were attached to his cell window. 5 Investigates previously reported that he had written "John 3:16" on his forehead in ink. Hernandez also used his own blood to draw on the walls of his cell. 5 Investigates’ Kathy Curran has learned that one of the drawings was what’s known as the unfinished pyramid and the all-seeing eye of God. The image is similar to what is found on the back of U.S. currency.Below the pyramid, Hernandez wrote "ILLUMINATI" in capital letters.The illuminati is a person or group claiming to have religious enlightenment or knowledge. The illuminati has also been the subject of several theories, including one that claims they control of the world. Above the pyramid, Hernandez drew an oval with rays coming from the edges. Nearby, rosary beads hung on the wall of his cell. 5 Investigates has also learned more about the letters left for Hernandez’s family. In one, he wrote that he was entering the "timeless realm" and would see them in heaven. 5 Investigates previously reported that Hernandez also wrote that he loved his family and told them not to shed a tear. Near the letters, a Bible was opened to the John 3:16 verse, which reads, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."State officials continue to investigate his death, including whether a 2 a.m. check of Hernandez’s cell had been performed by the correction department officers on duty. Sources told 5 Investigates the 31-year-old officer responsible for the rounds said he last saw Hernandez at 1 a.m. and when he went to check his cell at 3 a.m. there was a sheet over the window of the cell door. The officer, who has worked with the Department of Correction for about seven years has been detached from the department, which means he has been put on paid leave, sources told 5 Investigates. 5 Investigates' attempts to reach the officer were unsuccessful.
