As she told TIME in October, вЂњI am hopeful that I will figure it out one way or the other вЂ¦ I may have to give that up along the way, but today, IвЂ™m hopeful.вЂќ In the meantime, Adnan eagerly awaits an end to the rehashing the podcast has foisted upon him, and fans await details on season two.Bergdahl told Boal that he left his base partly to get the attention of high-ranking military and intelligence officials Bowe Berghahl KoenigвЂ™s investigation has been so thorough that AdnanвЂ™s brother Yusuf believes вЂњsheвЂ™s doing a better job investigating than the police did.вЂќ Despite the troves of evidence sheвЂ™s pored over, the experts sheвЂ™s consulted and even the Innocence Project she enlisted to review the case, it remains unclear whether itвЂ™s enough to sway Koenig - and her listeners - to a definitive stance on the whodunit. Exonerating Adnan, of course, does not require identifying a more plausible killer. Koenig raises the possibility that Jay or HaeвЂ™s new boyfriend Don might have played a greater role, but nothing seems to warrant a deeper investigation. had a record of streaking, and his having randomly stumbled upon HaeвЂ™s body is somewhat difficult to believe given how well hidden it was, Koenig ultimately dismisses the likelihood that he had anything to do with the murder.

In an earlier episode, Koenig explores the story of Mr. We have yet to hear a probable alternative to who else might have committed the murder. To add to the phone-related mystery, a classmate of AdnanвЂ™s named Laura, who used to shoplift from the Best Buy from which Adnan allegedly called Jay after killing Hae, said that Adnan couldnвЂ™t have called Jay from the Best Buy payphone because it didnвЂ™t actually have a payphone. When Koenig and another reporter attempted to retrace Adnan and JayвЂ™s steps according to the cell tower timeline, they found that the timing possible, but dubious. The pings that conflicted with his account were swept aside. But out of 14 pings to different cell towers, the prosecution only cited four, because those were the only four that matched JayвЂ™s account. The prosecution used cell phone records from the day of HaeвЂ™s disappearance to try to corroborate JayвЂ™s story. The cell phone records the prosecution used leave much to be desired.

His story changes several times, and three hours of his interview with the police were not recorded. His cooperation with detectives is directly linked to his guilty plea to accessory to murder, in exchange for which he served no jail time.

Jay claims to have helped Adnan bury HaeвЂ™s body. Koenig spends much time dissecting JayвЂ™s testimony and his trustworthiness as a witness. A teacher said AdnanвЂ™s poetry showed a вЂњdark side,вЂќ but itвЂ™s not clear whether the darkness she interpreted reflects typical teenage brooding or something deeper.ДЄdnanвЂ™s conviction is based almost entirely on the testimony of a former friend named Jay. In the most recent episode, Koenig reveals that Adnan used to steal money from his mosque, although he maintains that it was a regrettable mistake unrelated to his capacity to commit a heinous crime. Some sources, however, dispute this characterization and point to darker clues. Though it appears he put on one face for his strict, religious parents and another for his teenaged friends, there is nothing inherently sinister in this attempt to navigate two worlds.
