Summary

A few days after Hae’s body is found, the detectives get a lead that opens the case up for them. They find Jay at work late one night and bring him down to Homicide. At first, he insists he doesn’t know anything about the murder. But eventually he comes clean. He tells them what happened on January 13th. A few weeks later, he’s back at Homicide and his story has changed. In some ways, these changes are small and understandable. In other ways, they’re big and confounding.

0:00.0	Hello, serial listeners. This is Sarah Koenig. If you're listening to this show, I'm hoping that means that you're into it, and maybe you want to hear more stories like it. Well, you're in luck, because we've got a brand new show called The Idiot coming at the end of March, 26. Just like or follow this podcast, the serial podcast, on your podcast app, and you'll
0:23.1	automatically be notified when the idiot comes out. And I am predicting you're going to love it.
0:28.1	Okay, on to Serial, season one.
0:33.1	Previously, on Serial. While you're digging in Lincoln Park to bury your body,
0:37.3	you're going to find somebody else's. That's Lincoln Park. I walked along the edge of the log expecting to find a body real soon. I never saw one. Lincoln Park, I'm like, where is that? Do you even know where it is? Have you ever been there? Went shopping with a friend of mine, an ex-friend of mine, Adnan.

1:06.2	This is a global town link prepaid call from...
1:11.1	Annazegian.
1:13.2	An inmate at a Maryland correctional facility.
1:20.1	From this American life in WBEZ Chicago, it's serial.
1:23.7	One story told week by week. I'm Sarah Koenig.
1:28.6	Remember how last time I ended by saying that the detectives had other leads in this case besides Mr. S, the guy who found Hay's body?
1:35.8	That they were also starting to look at Adnan?
1:38.4	Well, the reason we know that is because of this memo.
1:41.9	The memo was dated 12 February 1999 from Detective Darrell Massey to Detective Greg McGillivery.
1:49.8	This memo he's talking about is regarding an anonymous call.
1:53.2	That's Detective Ritz on the witness stand at trial.
1:55.7	He's talking about how they got this anonymous call three days after Hay's body was found.
2:00.6	The call came in to Detective Massey, a Baltimore County cop.
2:03.6	The caller must have had an accent of some kind,
2:05.6	because Massey's report describes him as an Asian male 18 to 21 years old,
