Don't just take Jay's word for it
Jay was obviously a major part of the case against Adnan. Not the only part, but he was the key witness and he pled guilty to accessory after-the-fact. We all know Jay lies, and Jay has memory "issues". Fortunately, a surprising number of plot points have at least some corroboration. I thought I'd list the ones I think are important.
| Statement by Jay | Corroboration |
|---|---|
| Adnan called Jay from WHS and came over to his house and left Jay his car and phone | Adnan; 10:45 am call; Serial |
| Jay took Adnan back to school | Adnan; Paoletti note |
| Jay then went to Jen's with the car and phone | Jen; 2:36 pm call thru L651B |
| Adnan’s plan was to get a ride by telling Hae his car was broken down (3/15 interview) | Becky |
| Jay went from Jen's to BestBuy | 3:15, 3:21, 3:32 calls thru 651C; he told Jen it happened there and lied to police about it |
| Adnan called a girl and put Jay on the line | 3:32 call to Nisha; Nisha 4/1 interview |
| Jay took Adnan back to WHS for track practice (his sequence off on this one) | 3:48 and 3:59 calls nr. WHS |
| Jay bought weed in Forest Park after calling Patrick | 3:59 call is to Patrick's house; 4:12 loc. |
| Jay went home (or the nearby park) and waited for track to finish | 4:27 and 4:58 calls thru 654C |
| Jay picked up Adnan from track | Adnan, Serial ep. 1; 5:13 dropped call pinged L651A |
| Jay took Adnan to Cathy's apartment; Adnan called by Hae's family, police | Cathy; Jen; 6:07, 6:09, 6:24 calls; etc. |
| They then buried Hae in Leakin Park | 7:09 and 7:16 calls; Jay knew details |
| Next, they ditched Hae's car | Jay led police to car and see next entry |
| Jay called Jen to meet up | Jen; 8:04 and 8:05 calls to Jen's pager ping area they ditched car |
| Jay and Adnan tossed evidence in Westview Mall dumpsters | Jen says she saw them together there; Jay later wiped shovels there |
