Sarah Koenig's Serial: Woodlawn High School

Imagine you saw a classmate at school. Everything was fine, and it was a normal day. Later in the day cop cars surround the school. Your classmate is missing. This person could be gone forever, maybe even never seen again or even worse dead. Two prime suspects are from your school, one her ex boyfriend and the other the ex’s friend. This became a reality in Woodlawn High School when Hae Min Lee, a senior, went missing on January 13. Adnan syed, the victim's ex, and Jay, a friend of Adnan’s, are two key suspects in the murder. This case was brought to the public’s attention with help from Sarah Koenig, the producer of a podcast called “Serial”.

That’s how long it took them to get to Best Buy, leaving only one minute and thirty seconds to do the strangulation. Now according to Google, it takes an average of

However Jay is as much of a suspect as Adnan. Jay has lied multiple times and changes his story everytime he speaks to the police. For example, “They weren't super close, but they had mutual friends. Jay sold weed, and he and Adnan smoked together. The story Jay told police had problems, because it kept changing from telling to telling” (“The Alibi”). Why would Jay need to keep changing his story if he did not commit the murder. Another coincidence was that jay knew where the car was located and he described the dead body in so much detail (“The Alibi’). There is no way if you glanced at a dead body you would remember so much detail. Also, he would not have known where the car was if he had no part in the murder. Along with the evidence I listed and other inconsistent evidence not adding up, prove Adnan is just as innocent as
