Jay Wild is a key witness to the murder of Hae Min Lee. He was an acquaintance of Adnan from high school. Adnan bought weed from Jay and smoked together a few times. He claims Adnan showed him the body and was forced to help bury Hae. “The cops interview him at least four times that I know about. Two of those are on tape. And Jay also tells this story at trial – not once, but twice cause the first proceeding ended in a mistrial. So, at least, say, six times he's told what happened. And each time, some details shift.”(Sarah Koenig, 2014) Jay is not telling the truth. Jay says in one interview they were headed toward Westview mall.

At the bottom, she added a little note. "Adnan did not commit the murder. Asia sent him a letter that she saw him in the library. This means he has been spotted somewhere else at the time the murder was committed. Asia talking and seeing Adnan in the library further proves his innocence. Asia’s boyfriend and best friend were in the library on the same day she saw Adnan there. "My boyfriend and his best friend remember seeing you there, too."
