It was an unseasonably warm January afternoon in Baltimore County, Maryland when 18-year-old Woodlawn High School senior Hae Min Lee left school in her gray 1998 Nissan Sentra and headed out to pick up her six-year-old cousin from kindergarten before going to her job at the local LensCrafters. But sometime after leaving Woodlawn High School and before picking up her little cousin, Hae Min Lee vanished into thin air. Less than a month later, maintenance worker Alonzo Sellers was driving back to his job at Coppin State College and drinking a beer when he realized he had to use the bathroom, and it couldn’t wait. Mr. Sellers pulled over on the side of the road and walked deep into the woods to relieve himself, at which point he made a gruesome discovery. According to his later testimony, Mr. Sellers said quote, “when I looked down I seen something that looked like hair, something that was covered by dirt. And I looked real good again, and that’s when I seen what looked like a foot” end quote. Alonzo Sellers had stumbled upon the body of Hae Min Lee, she had been strangled to death by the bare hands of her attacker, and within a few weeks, the police would make an arrest for her murder. But, the suspect was a person that no one would have suspected capable of such a horrific crime, the ex-boyfriend of Hae, a sweet and smart 17-year-old named Adnan Syed.

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow.

0:16.4

And I'm Derek Lovasser.

0:17.6

So here we are in episode 7 of the Heyman Lee and Adnan Sayad series. And Derek told

0:25.2

me before he started recording that I can't make any more episodes that I only get one

0:30.7

more episode, which I wasn't expecting. I wasn't expecting for him to take such a firm

0:35.4

stance, but he says people are are experiencing the case fatigue that that some people are

0:40.9

kind of like, all right, we get it. Even though there's so much, so much more to talk about,

0:46.4

but they they get it and they they've had it with this case, even though I don't think

0:50.6

it's the majority, but that's what Derek says. It's Derek's fault. He says we have to stop.

0:54.9

So I get this episode and then one more to wrap everything up. And yay.

1:01.1

So I will take blame for it. If you guys are mad about us stopping after eight parts,

1:05.4

totally blame me 100%. I have seen the comments. Stephanie's not wrong. It is the minority

1:12.1

of you that are saying, hey, kind of had enough of this case, but for me personally too,

1:16.1

like I feel like I knew nothing about the case. I feel like I know a lot more now. I know

1:21.2

that we could probably do 15 parts on this. So personally, I'm kind of ready for something

1:26.4

new to kind of get me excited again, where it's like a fresh case and we're kind of breaking

1:30.6

it down. I feel like we're covering both sides of this case, the people who feel one

1:35.1

way and then there's people who feel another way we're trying to be litigious and do our

1:38.5

due diligence. And I think for most of you, you feel based on the comments that we have

1:43.6

done that. Some of you it'll never be enough. But yes, I did ask. I didn't tell Stephanie,

1:49.3

but I did ask if we could wrap it up within eight parts because not only is this going

1:53.6

to be the longest episodically, it's going to be I think a tie actually, but also hours
