'Serial' podcast: real-life-murder-mystery **With Spoilers**

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Just to add another possible suspect into the mix;

The subreddit on Roy Davis, convicted strangler of another 18 yr old from the area around the same time. No present links to jay known, but some very circumstantial evidence and most likely the other party the innocence project have named


Curiouser & curiouser.....

Not much doing in that episode, next week is the final one

I've listened to a few episodes of this and while I still think it most likely that Adnan did it it's an interesting story and a good reminder that in real life police investigations aren't like the easily tied up stories we see on TV dramas.

Some pretty interesting twists & new facts in the final episode.

Yeah, i felt Sarah K. wound it up as best she could whilst realising that it was never going to have the denouement, twist or closure people expect from fiction. So many questions left hanging though!!! For example:

Don had never heard of Jay in 15 years before the podcast? A major suspect and then key witness in your girlfriend's murder? WTF?

The note that was in Hae's car to Don saying "sorry i couldn't stay" but nobody can work out where she was planning to leave it for him?

Why did the podcast never mention the fact until Episode 12 that Hae was interviewed on TV the day she disappeared? Bit coincidental that her 15mins of fame marked the end of her life, no??

All the stuff around Jay being scared of either Adnan (a clean-cut 17 y.o. high school student) or some unspecified other player(s)?

Why to this day Adnan cannot offer any alternative theory or blame Jay, even though he protests his innocence and Jay (according to official police position at least) knew where Hae's car was?

Why the shady/aggressive behaviour from the police (3hrs interview with Jay not recorded) and the state prosecutor (helped Jay get a lawyer and pressured Don to paint Adnan as sinister) ?

The anonymous call to police that Hae's body was in Leakin Park?

How did Mr. S know where Hae's body was?

Why was the forensic evidence never tested for DNA?

+ 100 others.

I guess real life & death just doesn't have neat endings ....

As the Spoiler Podcast alludes to, real life is not as neat or convenient as fiction!

I can certainly see them doing an 'episode 13' at some point in the future...at least I hope so.

If genuine an interview with Jay here.

They've added two (so far) updates describing the current hearing.

The appeal is quite interesting, I have enjoyed the updates so far. Also enjoying Season 2.
