Authorities believe Aaron Hernandez's tattoos could somehow uncover answers about murders the ex-NFL star will be charged with next week.

Authorities wouldn't describe Hernandez's right-forearm tattoos or what kind of information they seek about them. And they say the tattoo artist or artists aren't suspects in the case — they're more like witnesses. But Boston station WHDH points out they might be tough to track down.
"During that time, Hernandez bounced around quite a bit — traveling from California to Connecticut, throughout south Florida and other parts and into Boston, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island as well."
In a separate case, Hernandez is also being charged with the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. Lloyd's body was found in a North Attleborough industrial park in June of 2013. (Via ABC)
The ex-Patriots tight end will be arraigned May 28 on charges related to the 2012 drive-by shooting.
