Summary

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. But, stay with us, because, it’s complicated…

0:00.0	Hello everybody, welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow.
0:16.1	And I'm Derek Levasser.
0:17.3	So as we revisit the murder of Heyman Lee, we also are going to keep you updated on any
0:22.4	new information that's coming out because these past few months, they've been a turning
0:26.3	point in this case. And things are happening even as we speak days after we recorded part
0:32.4	one of this series. It was announced that the Baltimore City States attorney, Marilyn
0:37.4	Mosby, had instructed her office to perform advanced DNA testing on Hayes shoes, skirt,
0:44.4	pantyhose and jacket. And Mosby said, quote, the items that we tested had never before
0:50.5	been tested. We used advanced DNA to determine that it was not a non-sahead, end quote. And
0:58.4	what Marilyn Mosby means by that is, it dawns DNA was not found on those items during
1:03.0	this advanced DNA testing that for some reason wasn't done on these items until over 20 years
1:10.3	after the murder, which I don't understand that. However, there was a mixture of four
1:15.7	different DNA profiles on the shoes that Hay was wearing on the day she died. And reportedly,
1:21.6	two homicide detectives with the Baltimore City Police Department are going to be helping
1:25.5	the state's attorney's office actively reinvestigate this case, which will focus on alleged
1:31.7	escalatory evidence about the possible involvement of two other suspects, including a person who
1:38.0	was reportedly convicted for attacking a woman in her car. And who allegedly said he
1:43.4	would make Haymenly disappear and that he would kill her. A second suspect was convicted
1:49.4	of engaging in serial rape and sexual assault, according to the statement from the state's
1:54.7	attorney's office. And apparently those rapes and assaults did not happen until after
2:00.5	Hay died. However, when asked of all of this meant that a non-sahead is innocent, Marilyn
2:05.5	Mosby told CNN, quote, the one thing that I will say after an extensive review of all
