Summary

This is the full, unedited audio from Jay Wilds' first official recorded interview with police.  As the official story goes, Ritz and McGillivary interviewed Jenn Pusateri on 2/27/99 where she told them that Jay had told her that Adnan Syed killed Hae Min Lee.  Later that night, the Detectives picked Jay up at work and took him to the station for an interview.  After a 50 minute unrecorded pre-interview, the tape is turned on in the early morning hours of 2/28/99 to record this interview.
