Jay is the only person interviewed by police whose story changed consistently. While the main details for the most part stay the same, things such as his involvement, the location of the murder, and the afternoon's events changed. This makes him the most suspicious, seeing at some point he clearly was lying to the authorities to preserve himself.

After their relationship ended, Adnan was hurt and upset. He was so angry with Hae for getting in the way of his fmily life and religion that he was driven to murder her. After the murder and disposal of the body took place, Adnan told Jay about the incident.

Jay's girlfriend was close friends with Adnan. Because of this, she had a close bond with him and Adnan always looked out for her, helping Jay and being involved in their relationship. This created a one sided rivalry to Jay, motivating him to commit murder and frame Adnan. He knew if he killed Adnan he would get caught, and so he instead killed someone he barely knew and framed Adnan.
