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 serialial podcast, on your podcast app, and you'll

automatically be notified when the idiot comes out. And I am predicting you're going to love it.

Okay, on to Serial, season one.

Previously, on Serial.

Why would you admit to doing something that drastic if you hadn't done it?

The mechanics, the documentation, the steps that they took, they look good.

Why would you not get up there and defend yourself?

You know, it's your face-to-face. He's right there. He's a person.

And so, you know, it sounds believable.

This is a global cell link prepaid call from...

An Nass say it. An inmate at a Maryland Correctional Facility.

From This American Life in WBEZ Chicago, it's serial.

One Story Told Week by Week.

I'm Sarah Kainek.

Before we get to today's episode, where I'm going to let Adnan talk for a while, I want to run by you some new information I've learned in the past week. Three things I've learned. First, remember Laura, the former Laura Estrada Sandoval, the one who asked, well, then who the fuck did it in the last episode? She was friends with Stephanie and with Jane with Adnan. I was talking to Laura on the

phone the other day, and she mentioned something about Best Buy, and so I asked her if I could start

taping. Tell me, tell me again what you just told me. There's no, there was never any phones at

Best Buy. There were never any phones around the Best Buy. No pay phone, no, no phone booth.

No. No. There's like blank. There's no phones there.

The pay phone in question is important because Jay tells the detectives that Anon called him on January 13, 1999, and told Jay he'd killed Hay.

Quote, come and get me, I'm at Best Buy.

When Jay gets there, he says he sees a nun standing by the phone booth, wearing red gloves.
