I don’t think that this video was taped on January 13, 1999. It’s on the timelines that way, because it’s generally accepted that January 13, 1999 was the day it was taped. Edit: Just changed the timeline to reflect this discussion.

• (It took me a while to move off of the wrestling match being on January 13. We didn’t have Inez’s interviews and trial testimony, and for a long time, it was all we had to rely on. Imagine how the cops felt. Now it’s clear that Inez is probably remembering a different day, and may have even felt pressure to say she saw Hae, given she was the adult on duty, when Hae disappeared.)

Back to the video.

We’ve had to guess at Hae’s age in the pictures we have of her. So, here's a small timeline, that's guessed at ages pictured. I think this illustrates that the video we have was taped some time in December of 1997, during Hae’s Junior year of high school at WHS. Not Senior year. And not on the day of her death. What do you think?

Sophomore Year

• 1996: Sophomore/10th grade photo, pending confirmation

Junior Year

• September 9, 1997: Field Hockey Cancelled? No team listed

• December 7, 1997 WHS Wrestling commences. (Hae an assistant manager?)

• December 1997: Hae in Lacrosse Video (Date in question)

• December 1997: Hae in Lacrosse Video (Date in question)

• Lacrosse Video:

• Hae says she's played Lacrosse for two years which would be her freshman and sophomore years. If this video was taken in the Fall of 1998, Hae would be saying she played Lacrosse for three years.

• She also says she's played Field Hockey for two years. Hae didn't live in Woodlawn during field hockey season her sophomore year. The two years she's talking about could be Freshman and Junior year. Even though it doesn't look like WHS had a field hockey team Hae's Junior Year.

Senior Year

• September 1, 1998: Field Hockey Cancelled

• October, 1998: Homecoming Photo

• Late Fall/Early Winter 1998: Hae Senior Year Picture

• December 10, 1998: Wrestling starts

• February 11, 1999: News clip of school’s reaction to Hae’s death. Note the boy who says he was on the wrestling team “last year.” He says this at a time when wrestling is ongoing “this year.” It looks like he’s not on the team this year, but he was last year, when Hae was a junior. And that’s when he’s saying she was a wrestling manager.

• March 10, 1999: Wrestling ends

• March 21, 1999: Lacrosse Starts

TL/DR: This picture looks to be Hae at her oldest, before her death. In fact, she looks about a year older than she does in this picture.
