Hae And Adnan Case Study

Adnan is guilty because Adnan’s motive to kill Hae was jealousy for the new boyfriend. In episode 7 of Serial, Sarah Koenig shared what the state had to say against Adnan; that he was “a mad ex-boyfriend”. Some friends said that Adnan was a very possessive boyfriend, to the point where (in one instance in episode 2 that was explained by Hae’s friend) Adnan came to her house and disturbed Hae’s time with this female friend of hers. “If she (Hae) was at my house, and we were having a girls night, he would stop by, like he would walk over and try to come hang out, and it’s just like, ‘Have some space!’” As Koenig continues to find the truth about Hae and Adnan’s relationship, she soon hears that other people saw their relationship like any other

In his first interview, he stated that around a week before the murder, they spoke to each other for a while in Jay’s car smoking marijuana. Soon Adnan begins to call Hae names and adds how he’s going to “kill that bitch” for cheating on him. In a pit of rage and angst Jay said he assumed Adnan was just letting off some steam; not taking what Adnan said seriously. This conversation happened prior to the murder, so it would make sense if Adnan had a reason for being mad at Hae and jealous of the new boyfriend. Although, in later testimonies and interviews, Jay changes this part of his alibi in tons. In his second interview it presents that Adnan didn’t say anything about killing Hae until the day of the murder. At this point, it is unclear as to whether this change in the story can truly confirm Adnan’s motive to kill Hae. This is a tough and slippery slope to go down because of Jay’s inconsistencies, so it’s going to take a little more than just moxie to figure this one out. Considering that everyone who was questioned wasn’t asked until five weeks after the murder, so there’s no telling what little details were forgotten or were lies to truly clarify Adnan’s motive if no straight answer was given. Yet, this detail alone was enough for the state to use against Adnan to confirm Adnan’s motive to kill Hae and his jealousy for the new

Adnan actually called Hae’s house the night before Hae disappeared. At 12:35 am Adnan called Hae’s three times, and it wasn’t until the third time where they actually talked. As Adnan explained to Koenig in episode 6, he was calling Hae to give her his new phone number, and she wrote it down in her diary. Yet, on the call logs after that night, both Hae’s phone number and pager didn’t showed up. Aisha on the other hand, Hae’s best friend, paged her nonstop, waited for a response from her. Krista was also paging her; as a matter of fact, the whole group of friends wondered where Hae was. And when Koenig mentions to Adnan how they dealt with all of this, he said it was never a thing where “whenever Hae comes up in a conversation I’m leaving, going to the other side of the classroom or something like that. I mean, I’m just as involved as they are, yeah so, I mean, I don’t, you know.” As much as Adnan says how much he was concerned for Hae, attempting to contact her but fails to prove so is quite strange, but most of all confirms Adnan’s lack of concern for
