At the age of 17, Adnan Syed was charged for the murder of Hae Min Lee, but I don’t believe he did it, and I want to tell you why I think it was Jay who committed the murder. In this case there are days worth of reading for evidence. Just in the transcripts, there’s 288 pages, some of it evidence, some of it conversations, and some of it interviews. There are so many people involved that it's very difficult to say for certain that Adnan did it, but it's also very difficult to point out anyone else that could have done it as well. There are many pieces of evidence that could suggest multiple different people, but there is one person that sticks out the most: Jay. Jay is very involved in not only the story, but as well as the murder. He did admit to ‘helping’ move Lee’s body and burying it, but as for the Serial podcast, he’s in almost every episode. …show more content…
His story had so many twists and turns, and changes, and little things that just didn’t make sense that I find it hard to believe that most, or any of what he’s saying is the truth. From what I could find, there were eight changes throughout his story. Some of them are really small, like how he changes it from both he and Adnan smoked together, to Jay smoking by himself. And then some are of a bit more importance, like how first he says that he didn’t help bury Hae’s body, and then he says that he
On the surface, it would appear that Adnan Syed committed this crime. He was named the main suspect because of his connection with Hae Min Lee as her ex-boyfriend. Also, there was testimony given by Jay Wilds, who directly states
On January 15, 1999 highschooler Hae Min Lee was reported missing and weeks later found dead. She was a victim of murder and died by manual strangulation. Her ex-boyfriend Adnan was arrested for the murder. Adnan is still in prison today. Sarah Koenig is the narrator of Serial.
Being asked "who did it?" in the Adnan Syed case is a very complex question. Some say he's a murderer; some say he's innocent. But in the end, he must be innocent. In the podcast Serial, the first episode, "The Alibi," talks about the main story of the case.
On February 9th, 1999, Hae Min Lee’s body was found buried in a shallow grave in Leakin Park––death by strangulation. Later that year, an innocent man by the name of Adnan Syed was convicted on an extremely shaky case for the murder of this young girl. However incriminating the call records may appear at first glance, Adnan Syed, with an alibi to prove his innocence, had no motive to kill Hae Min Lee. To put it simply, Adnan Syed had no reason to murder Hae. After the couple split up, multiple witnesses confirmed that Adnan did not seem to be ridiculously or unusually upset; it was merely another high school breakup.
One person of interest that should be investigated further is John Vansice. John Vansice was the last person to see her. He was at her birthday party and she came by his house to watch a video. Vansice was already a person of interest in a double murder case in Newton called the Collar Dollar Ranch Case.
In the first interview, he confessed of knowing what had happened to Hae due to the fact that he was there to witness it all. In his testimony, he revealed that Adnan had strangled Hae to death at a Best Buy parking lot because Adnan was angry at the fact that Hae had besmirched his honor. Jay also gave the detectives’ concrete evidence to show that he was credible. The strongest evidence that he had provided them was the location of Hae’s missing car. When the detectives saw the Hae’s missing car at the location where Jay said it would be found,
