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.

0:00.0	Hello everybody, welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow. And I'm Derek Lovacer.
0:17.2	So today we are diving into part five of the Heyman Lee and at none, Syed series. I know
0:23.8	it's long and there's still so much to talk about. It's crazy how there's still so much
0:29.4	to talk about in so much to go over. We have an episode tonight that is jam packed full of
0:35.2	details and discussions to be had and really, you know, things that then need to be like dug into.
0:43.6	And I can't wait to get your guys' opinion in the comment section if you're watching in YouTube
0:48.7	because this really is something that needs to be discussed with a hive mind. So I'm glad we
0:54.4	have you guys to talk about it because there's so many things that just have occurred to me since I've
0:58.9	been diving back into this case. And I'm seeing it in a much different way that I ever have. And I'll
1:05.8	leave it at that for now. But before we dive in, do you want to get anything off your chest? Talk
1:11.1	about anything. No, I want to dive into the case too. I'll just say I want to bring up criminal
1:16.0	coffee when you're listening to this episode or you're watching it on YouTube. Stephanie Nye
1:21.6	or currently in Utah at the time of this video or audio being released. We're going out to Utah
1:27.1	to meet up with the people over at Intermountain Forensics to talk about the Preble County Penny case or
1:31.9	Preble Penny case. And we're going to get to kind of see the behind the scenes into lab at what they do,
1:37.2	how they extract the DNA from her bones, all this, all that stuff that's very important to us. And if
1:42.4	you want to be part of it, we've already had a lot of people buy coffee. Your funds were directly
1:47.4	contributing to the testing that we're able to do. We were able to donate $5,000 to Intermountain Forensics
1:53.1	for this testing, but we want this to be the first of many. So if you're interested in some good
1:59.2	coffee and giving back to a really good cause like fighting crime, head on over to criminalcoffeeco.com,
2:05.1	check us out. We got three different blends. You can check out one blend, two roasts, and they're all
2:11.1	very good, but we're biased. There's also the true crime universe. You can check out as well,
