Shocking police records obtained by RadarOnline.com show the late athlete's father once confessed to knowing details about the killing of a police officer in 1977.

Dennis Hernandez told police he knew his friend, Rocco Testa, was in "serious trouble" after a Plainville, Connecticut police officer was fatally shot.

"Rocco told me to keep my mouth shut," Hernandez confessed in a statement to police.

The fallen police officer, Robert Holcomb, had been shot while chasing after two burglary suspects. The suspects were later identified as Dennis's friend Testa, and Testa's uncle, Gary Castonguay.

In another uncovered statement to police, Testa's girlfriend, Dianne Field, confessed that Dennis played a role in driving Testa away from the scene, in her car.
