The parents of a 16-year-old girl called police on May 25 to report the teen never came home. They believed she was with Hernandez, according to the arrest affidavit. During the previous night, the teen’s sister had confronted her about her relationship with Hernandez.
The two worked together at a local fast food restaurant, according to the affidavit.

Hernandez’s bail was set at $35,000, jail records showed.
