Jay claims him and Adnan were in car going to bury Hae's body. Adnan called Nisha, and made Jay talk to her. The call lasted two minutes. This is odd because Jay isn't friends with Nisha, only Adnan is. This story contradicts Adnan's alibi because he claims that he was at the library reading emails.

Josh, a co-worker of Jay, claims that Jay was really nervous at work after Hae was killed. He wasn't scared of the police, he was scared of the person who killed Hae. What is suspicious about this is that Jay didn't even work at the store in the same timeline as when Hae had disappeared.

Hae wrote a note addressed to Adnan where she explained how she was upset that he wasn't respecting her decision to break up with them. After Adnan got the note, he showed it to his friend and they joked about it, writing that he was going to kill her at the top of the note. This is suspicious, but it's possible that he was joking or he wasn't the one to write it.

Adnan's motive could be that he was upset that Hae was over him and got a boyfriend. This could be discredited because Adnan claims that him and Hae were on good terms and he didn't even want to get in between her and Don.

Jay doesn't have a known motive. He didn't know Hae that well and there was no bad blood between them.

Don's motive could be that he was upset that Adnan and Hae were still friends even after they broke up. This could've sparked jealousy and anger towards Hae.

# data[].attributes.body
Don was Hae's boyfriend at the time she was killed. Not much is known about him from what we learned but him and Hae seemed happy together. She would write about him in her diary about how great he was and how much she loved him.

Adnan's fingerprints were found on a map in Hae's car while police were investigating. These can't be used as credible evidence because there is no way to determine that these were from the day of Hae's murder. They could've been from the week before, or 6 months before.

Rabia is an attorney who has put tons of effort into proving Adnan as innocent over that last 2 decades. She has known Adnan since childhood, given her brother, Saad, was Adnan's best friend. She has done countless things in order to prove Adnan innocent. For example, she had a big influence on the Serial podcast, where she expresses her belief about what actually happened and that Adnan was not the type of person to murder someone.

Mr. S was the person who found Hae's body almost a month after she disappeared. Says he was going into the park to get privacy to pee, and stumbled upon her body. This is suspicious because her body was well hidden and only a small part of her body could be seen by the average eye. Mr. S also has gotten in trouble with the law before. He has had multiple occurences of public indecency where he would go naked in public. Both of these stories label him as a suspicious person, but we don't know exactly what his motive could've been

Asia claims to have seen Adnan at the library at the time Hae was murdered, proving Adnan's alibi to be true. She wrote him a letter saying she had talked to him and that she believed he was innocent. Asia was never contacted by lawyers or anyone involved with the case, and the letter was never presented in court. 15 years after the original trial, it was to be reappealed.

Adnan Syed's defense attorney in the trial. Did not present Asia McClain's letter in court, which could've proven Adnan innocent. Many people blame her for Adnan's sentence because it could've been prevented if she hadn't done this. Disbarred a year after Adnan's trial for misuse of client money. She passed away a few years after the case.

Adnan was known to be possessive and overprotective of Adnan. These claims mainly came from Hae's diary, or her best friend, Aisha Pittman. Aisha said that Adnan would frequently call Hae to check up on her, ask where she was, and why he didn't tell her she was going somewhere, even when she did. On multiple occassions, Adnan would come over to Hae's house, uninvited, when she was having a girl's night, and try to hang out with her. In Hae's diary, Koenig mentions how Adnan would act possessive, but never really dived into it so there's not much more information about it.

In Jay's alibi, he says that Adnan called him to pick him up from where he was burying Hae, in Leakin Park. Police checked cellphone towers to see if tha alibi could be backed up, and they found a ping from around the time Jay said the call took place. This "proves" that Adnan was at Leakin Park at the time of Hae's murder, which gives more evidence that proves him guilty. The only fault with this is that there is no way to trace the ping back to Adnan, because the identities of the callers are not given from cellphone towers, so nobody can be completely sure it was him at Leakin Park.

Adnan's story is a little unclear. He claims the day had been of little importance, and therefore he has barely any remembrance of the day. He says he was most likely at the library checking emails before track practice. If he attended track practice was never confirmed because the coach never took attendance.
