  • On January 13, 1999, Adnan Syed was a hurt and vengeful ex-boyfriend who carried out a premeditated murder. Or he was a bewildered bystander, framed for a crime he could never have committed. After 15 months of reporting, we take out everything we've got - interviews and documents and police reports - we shake it all out, and we see what sticks.

    "Serial" is a true crime podcast produced by Sarah Koenig and This American Life.

    No checking for marks on the suspects because Hae did fought back.

    I'm so conflicted. On one hand Adnan looks guilty and if u believe he is guilty then you also have to belive he is just trying to work the system and find a way out but last November he turned down a deal with the state. The deal was Adnan had to serve 4 more years (which is nothing when you already served 20) and go to court and admit to the court and his family that he lied and he's been lying for all these years. He turned it down because it wasn't a full exoneration which is what he wants because he maintains he is innocent. My thinking is a guilty man would have taken that deal if he was truly guilty because he would know that that could and probably was his only chance...I dunno but this case is fascinating

      Interesting considering that he, by his own admission, is always telling other inmates to take the deal. But honestly even a guilty person would take that deal. Unless they were fairly certain something better could happen. It’s usually a game of what’s the best option. If he knew there was a good chance he could get less time or exonerated he would go that route.

      I think everyone comes to these kinds of conclusions because they're listening to something being covered in a way that makes you want it to be juicy.
      You can't have listened to 8+ hours of a podcast about evidence in a case and it actually turn out that the original person did it. Why would something like that be presented to you in such a compelling manner? That doesn't fit with all of the murder mysteries and TV shows on people being acquitted.
      Honestly I think Adnon might have done it. I dont know that there should have been a conviction with the evidence but the system is far from the ideal we want it to be.
      I don't think Jay or anyone else in the story did it.

    The ONLY tangible fact in this case , in my eyes at least , is that JAY knew where Hae’s car was . That he knew where the car was so why are police believing him that Adnan put the car there.. look at it plainly for what it is Jay to the police to the car , he had knowledge only the killer would and he connected himself to the murder at least as far as police investigation standards Jay would be the suspect at the very least .

      The police were clearly interested in Jay at one point. When they interviewed him, they grilled him repeatedly on his story and how strange it was for him to help Adnan bury the body. They were just as confused as we are by the fact that he didn't quickly come to police and confess.
      But the fact is no evidence points to Jay as the murderer, AND he had no motive, AND his testimony is corroborated by physical evidence (the location of the car and the broken turn signal indicator, neither of which the police knew about before he showed them) and witness testimony/police interviews (Nisha, Jen, Cathy, police officers, medical examiners, Josh's interview in this episode, etc).

Jay def knows more than he told, if he knows where the car was, and Adnan didn't push him enough because maybe they both know more. Other guesses, they were both drugged and are blur about who did what. Bleh.

    I posted on an earlier episode I stated Jay seemed more likely to have committed the crime and i believe that even more so now. If you want to look at motives:
    Jay: jealous of Adnon (why I will state in a second). Adnon jilted ex. Jay's seems more plausible.
    Going back to episode 1 we have to remember Jay dated Adnon's friend Stephanie. Stephanie's parents liked Adnon and not Jay. Then Adnon remembered to get Stephanie a birthday present and Jay did not. Then Adnon asked Jay what he got Stephanie and offered to help Jay go get Stephanie one. To a "street-savvy older guy" that would probably embarrass or piss him off. Then, gets Adnons PHONE and CAR , barely knowing each other? Adnon was younger and probably more naive and since the purpose could have been to accommodate Stephanies birthday.
    On to facts. Adnon has been pretty consistent whereas Jay has not. Statistics show guilty people are either word for word consistent like they rehearsed it or change the story a lot. The shovels were Jay's. Jay. not Adnon (that I heard) ditched his clothes etc and wiped down the shovels. Jay had way more opportunity and time to commit the murders whereas as you even found would be very difficult to do (but is possible). Also, all the calls to people Jay called on Adnon's phone and driving around with Jay driving seems like Jay was doing that to establish many alibi's. Jay being in the prison system, street smart, and older would have more knowledge on how to kill, how to hide it, and how to get away with it.
    Jay himself said he was known as the "criminal" element. Jenn and others could have made statements in favor of Jay due to fear of Jay or even due to friendship, or even had innocent biases towards Jay due to the friendship.
    As for random witnesses like Chrissy? etc. We have seen many cases where people falsely admit to crimes they commit, make false statements, and even inject themselves into cases for attention. Statistics show that witness testimony is very unreliable due to many factors.
    In 1999 how exact and advanced were cell towers and GPS? Probably not very accurate since cell phones had not been out very long and the tech was not as advanced as today. Also, there were probably fewer towers then.
    Also, as a psych major, we also learn to pay attention to nonverbal cues. In the interviews, Jay's verbal pitch and many "umms" vs Adnons even and steady tone lead me to believe Adnon over Jay. Also, the cops were horrible interrogators. If they were to use their interviews in court today so much would get thrown out by the defense. The cops led Jay and others into the answers the cops wanted many times. They also failed to get and follow up on so much that could have assisted with evidence such as checking for a Best Buy phone booth. Cameras in the library, Best Buy etc. Even 6 weeks later they may have not been recorded over depending on the system and how recordings are stored. Even the library computer sign-in sheet may have still been accessible. Also, following up on the rope and liquor bottles.
    Now going to see if I can find information on appeals and any new developments after this series because if this was taken to court today, even as circumstantial this case is too weak to prosecute.

    Ok, to sum this all up. Sarah Koenig *herself* believes she cannot convict Adnan as a juror. But she was not or is not a juror. I’m saying this to anyone who wants to paint this podcast as Biased. Because right after Sarah explains that she still thinks he did it or that there’s time when she doesn’t think Adnan’s done it. This whole podcast has been from her team and her team’s point of view. Of course knowing where Hae’s car was is significant, but as Sarah states it doesn’t tell a story. I’m not saying I don’t think Adnan did it. But it’s been explained time and time again the case is messy and not concrete. If I had to give an honest opinion, I think Adnan at least deserves a retrial or Hae Min Lee’s family deserves a retrial. Not just to figure out who truly did it but what happened that day. The possibility that Adnan is innocent, is just it. A possibility. I keep reading comments that try to discredit this podcast saying it’s biased. Even though I just explained why it’s not. People are entitled to their own opinions on this case. But you can’t deny the biggest point and what I believe this podcast proves without a shadow of a doubt. This case was messy. And if you listen to the whole podcast, I don’t know how you can deny that.

      She did fight. She kicked & broke the turn signal indicator in the car as she struggled. She also sustained an injury on the right side of her head. Strangulation can take around ~15 seconds to kill a person. She was a 135lb girl, her killer was much larger and stronger, and would've been close enough to wrap his hands around her neck before she had time to adequately defend herself.
      At the time DNA testing was less common, less reliable, and more expensive that it is today (yes, even as recently as 1999 police were still making judgment calls as to whether to test for DNA / trace DNA)

      I'm not sure why they never tested Hae Min Lee's fingernails for DNA. Perhaps they didn't see anything resembling blood or skin underneath her nails. Perhaps they concluded that DNA samples would be tainted after her body was left semi buried for weeks. Dunno, it's not in any transcript or case file that I've seen. My guess is they figured it was unnecessary since they had so much evidence already.

    I still think jay's more involved in the crime than what he told the police. But if adnan would rat out on jay then that's also basically admitting they're on it together. I think that's why there are too many inconsistencies. Jay must have also been protecting himself so he's trying to make himself seem more innocent. Also, i think hae died later than the time police said she did. It must have been why there were so many inconsistencies with the timeframe in both jay's and adnan's accounts and why other witnesses said they still saw hae alive just a couple of minutes before her supposed death.

      Gail Honestly I am confused at Jay and I think he knows more than he’s telling as well because why would he go to the police if he had said that he has a bad rep with the police or if he doesn’t trust nor like them. Like who and there right mind would go to the police about a murder they just heard there friend commit and that they just helped bury the body if your the person claiming your insecurities with the police like if anything you would think to avoid them and another thing that stood out to me is when they mentioned Jay being paranoid in a sense about a van that nobody was in like maybe he feels guilty about something worst and is being haunted by paranoia, I mean I lot of things don’t add up.

    When i first listened to this podcast i was confused who did it and my top suspect was Jay and then Hae's family because she mentioned in her diary how her family was strict and all those cultural things and then that guy Mr.S or someone like him chased her...
    But as i listened to it again and 1) heard the p*rn store and all my mind rings that its Jay because there is a new theory that murderers do involve with p*rn once and then there is some kind of lust and craving they start having then things let to another and horrific.
    2) Jay somehow very strangely knows too much to be innocent.
    3) even if adnan did it, there was so less evidence to put him in prison.
    4) If someone as amazing, loving as HAE got killed then someone like ADNAN mistakenly for murder can be innocent too.

    You know I've listened to this a few times, and that note that Hae had written didn't bother me that much until this time around. It kinda sounds like either she was planning on meeting Don after school then going to the match, skipping school but still going to the match, meeting Don on her lunch break, or meeting Don sometime before the school day ended at least. Or Don was planning on meeting her and she knew she wouldn't have much time...I don't know. Where she was going to put it seems important too. I guess the kindest option is Don was remembering incorrectly and maybe really wanted her to stay the next day and she couldn't. Or he wasn't awake when she left. Or she changed her plans. There's so many little things that don't fit, and that we will probably never know. I'm in the same camp of not being sure who did what. Adnan could be guilty, but I definitely don't buy the states timeline, or much of Jays story, at all. I wish the detectives would've done a more thorough job. I agree they zeroed right in after Jays story. There was still venues left for them to make the case stronger, as far as forensics and checking the holes in Jays story. I'd have tried so hard to find the stuff he ditched. You always want a slam dunk case. A flimsy motive and a witness that flipped because they were part of a felony really ain't it chief. That's nothing compared to forensics or having every thread tie back to your suspect.

    Jay knew where the car was... The Streaker guy knew where the body was since the detective commented in earlier episodes that there was no way he could figure out there was a body. I think Jay killed her because his motive was to incriminate Adna who he was jealous of since Stephanie (his girlfriend)'s family looked highly of Adnan and looked down at Jay. He may have also been bitter at the fact that Adnan such a good wholesome relationship with Stephanie. He obviously thought of a plot to incriminate Adnan and prove Stephanie's family wrong! Also we know that Jay is a story teller - as most of his friends have said. i.e. he's keeps plotting stories in his mind to impress people or to look cool. Similarly he could have thought of this story in his bitterness.
    so in summary; Jay killed her and used the idiot Streaker to help him bury the body.
    or just may be the Streaker saw him burying the body since he's the type of guy who runs about the forest naked. lol

Adnan may not have had total recall but he would have remembered where he was and what he was doing the day Hae was murdered. The only logical conclusion is he can't supply an alibi because he doesn't have one. Adnan is guilty. Now if you want to argue the evidence wasn't sufficient to get past reasonable doubt that's another case entirely. In other famous cases like Making a Murderer Steven Avery was very likely guilty but due to evidence tampering by the police no reasonable person could have convicted the guy. The West Memphis 3 is another type of case. Damien Echols and Jessie Miskelley were capable of killing those children...but Jason Baldwin was not. His actions before, during, and after his incarceration proved it. I'd be willing to listen if the argument is no reasonable person could look at the evidence and get past reasonable doubt but Adnan as the killer is the only thing that makes sense.

    You did amazing job- I believe Stephanie has a major role in this and brought Jay in to help her since she knew he would do anything she asked. I got a theory: I believe Stephanie was jealous of Hae because in a lot of ways she got what she wanted which was Adnan remember that Adnan said he never really stop messing with Stephanie after they broke up? Then he got with Hae!!!. So imagine you are Prom Queen and you prom King is the boy you like? to then have that big day ruined by this new girl Adnan is crushing on? Sheesh let’s take it a step forward. Stephanie was in the friend group with Jay, Jen and the rest of the clan( who lied the most to the cops? Jay & Stephanie group of friends. We know that Jen was Jays ride a die friend you know the friend that also sold weed with him so when he got caught with all those drugs she got caught and is how she was wheeled in to this story by the COPS!!! they told them you keep up this story and we won’t charge you for possession of weed. That’s why thier story didn’t make sense but in someway connected to the cell phone data. Just recently they asked her again what happened and then showed her evidence that she was lying she got upset flustered and said “ I don’t give a shit about this I’m done” let’s to take it back real quick. On the day of the alleged murder it happened to be Stephanie bday 🧐. I think she tried to stir issues up between Hae and Dawn by telling him she cheating on him with Adnan out of rage Dawn killed Hae and it was orchestrated by Stephanie and she confided in Jay about part of the story but not all and he took the fall for her; notice in Jays hearing the only one in the courtroom was STEPHANIE!!.., also the only one the won’t speak about it and almost disappeared but Jay always was concerned about her safety around Adnan why? It’s obvious why he was paranoid that Adnan would find out what Stephanie did that he would hurt her. also I’m in the legal field and never heard of a prosecutor hiring a private attorney and gave zero jail time for someone who participated in murder in MD. Fast forward to Jays adult life he has a lengthy rap sheet with assaults with officers, burglary etc but server 0 time or was charged bare minimum. That’s called an informant/rat and after he took the deal he was indebted to the police. Also just recently Jah assaulted his ex girlfriend bad and the cops released him in an hours time with no bail nothing, also the ex girlfriend said he always was released within hours of any crimes with no bail or most cases charged lol well damn isn’t he lucky 🍀…. I can go on but it’s to long already.

    how do you forget a whole afternoon of the last day you saw and spoke to someone that you deeply cared about?.... unless you were drugged and still functional on those drugs and just can't remember anything about what you did. I think it's too convenient for him to simply say he can't remember a few hours of that very critical time frame. Could he have been on some sort of drug that affects the memories? Jen described Adnan's body language as seemingly drugged out or exhausted and lethargic or withdrawn and worried.. was it some type of drug? OR was he having physical reactions to the act that was just committed and the work he needed to do to cover it up? I know it looks like Jay had no reason or motive to kill Hae, but what was his reason to help bury the body instead of just pretending he would help and then call the cops on Adnan for murdering their friend! HOW did Hae's car get to where it was when Jay told the police about it's location?

Do you guys think its possible that, since he never specified Adnan, the killer is someone else and still out there? Jay could have been so afraid of this guy that he framed Adnan because he was an easy target.
    And that also explains why Jay would have the info about where the car was.

    I think he did it, but Jay was definitely more involved. He just got smart fast and got a deal first, ratting out Adnan and shifting all the blame onto him. The police were so desperate to make it fit and Jay was smarter than them. The cops and prosecutors wanted it to fit so badly that they bungled up everything.
    Adnan must have kidnapped Hae, then went to Jay for help. Either he killed her and had Jay drive the car somewhere then drop him off back at the school or they tied her up and he killed her later ( there was a rope found near her body). So either Jay stayed with the body or at least knew where it was hidden ( because he knew where Hae's car was) or he drove around with the girl tied up in the car.
    He picked Adnan up again, and then they disposed of the body together ( enough time after school and practice to do it all).
    Adnan knows if he says Jay did it with me, he will lose the only thing he has: his consistent claims of innocence. Jay has said that Adnan was a coward, and Adnan can't actually be angry at Jay because he knows what he did. Implicating Jay implicates him.

      Jay clearly had no real criminal past before this, selling weed is nothing...all his friends say he only acted tough and was not a killer type of rough guy..he had a girlfriend who all said was one of the prettiest girls in school..absolutely no reason to kill hae..the girl still loved him she was with him in court ..

Jay could’ve been by himself acting like Edna and for those brief moments to make the girl believe they were together. The only reason I think this may not be true is because I don’t know if Jay would have been that smart or thinking on that level, but another thing that seems to keep coming up is that Jay is very streetsmart which tells me he could’ve thought of that so I don’t know just thinking out loud

    My own thoughts, Adnan killed Hae!! I'm sure of it....however Jay is not telling the complete truth and had a bigger part to play, and that whole day played out differently...and we will never know what truly happen that day, but I am fairly certain that Adnan did it. To not remember what you did the day your ex girlfriend went missing (I'm not even talking about now, but even to not remember at the time this all happened), to be linked to Jay that whole day, give him your car, phone etc....Adnan came to Jay either before that day, or early that day and Jay helped him organize what would happen with Hae....this whole shit about a present is bull shit. Adnan you are guilty...but under court law did they have enough on you to go to prison...or more so with Jays clear lies I don't think so.....but I think they did get you. If you are released I don't think you would be of harm to society, I don't think you are a serial murderer, I believe you felt such a sense of portrayal and you couldn't handle your emotions and your religious teachings fed into pre-haps your world view of women, and the pressure from your family etc had a part to play. but if this was my sister, cousin or friend...I would want and fight for you to stay in prison....and also Jay.

    The only thing we know for sure is that Jay knew where the car was. So, either he's telling the truth (many inconsistencies=reasonable doubt), he's protecting the real killer (who/why?) or he himself killed Hae. As for the motive, think about it, Adnan is the sweetheart of the school, Stephanie's best friend, Stephanie's parents liked Adnan and didn't like Jay. Jay, in his own words, was the "criminal element", an "outcast", a school drop-out, weed seller, etc. Could he have become extremely jealous of Adnan and plotted all that against him? And even if he was telling the truth, he would be as bad as Adnan! Come on, Adnan supposedly told Jay before hand, then Jay helped Adnan dig a grave and bury the body! How could he have got away with all that that easily?? No jail time?? After listening to all that and watching some other documentaries on the case, I became more inclined to believe Jay did it or at least he's quite as bad as the killer himself and not some sort of hero, who saved the day, like the judge portrayed him while letting him off the hook. And I never felt remorse or distress in his voice or appearances.

    I don’t know how you can have trace evidence like that and not test at least some of it. Finger nail scraping especially. Did the defense not fight to have that stuff tested? I don’t understand. The only reason I would not want those tests done, is if I were guilty. I understand it probably isn’t cheap, but Adnon’s parents, and religious community were already dumping money into this super awesome defense lawyer...so awesome she couldn’t fight for the dna testing that could have exonerated him? Especially when the prosecution was pushing for the death penalty. You are going to kill a man with circumstantial evidence, and one actual witness? His attorney didn’t appear to believe in him.

If the only time she ever talked to Jay on the phone was that one time when he was at the video store, then if the call was picked up that day she must have only talked to Adnan (which also, in this case, why you lying Jay?).

    Sarah puts her finger on it when Adnan confesses the crime and in court, before the judge, jury and on watchers. Adnan blurts out "Your pathetic" or "pathetic", that's street talk for saying "your weak", "you caved", "you ratted me out". It also says Hae's death event was entirely between Adnan and Jay, canceling out any other party or stranger being involved. Case closed my friends. Feel sorry for the 17 year old who believed Rabia Chaudry not to confess, not to make a statement, not take a polygraph, make them prove it. With this type of thinking, make them prove it is pretty dam stupid. Cooperation is key to the best outcome. Adnan surprising has said " if anyone get's into a similar situation as mine, take the deal even if you didn't do it". He's absolutely right because if this was truly a miscarriage of justice that can be repaired at some point. Rabia's law school understanding of law, yet lack real world experience lead to Adnan's poor predicament. But gosh, look what it did for Rabia, from immigration counselor to celebrity, fame and job security, Adnan will have been locked up for at least 30 years, lots of cash from the defense fund(s), you might call Adnan her golden cash cow and Hae the proverbial sacrificial lamb.
