• Investigation:

• 11:45AM: MacGillivary faxes 15 unidentified numbers from Adnan's cell phone log to HIDTF to initiate Bell Atlantic Subpoena 1

• These 15 numbers include every number called on January 12th 13th, (except Phil's), and every number called on January 14th (except the last three calls). It's unclear why police only subpoenaed the first 15 unknown numbers (from the Feb 15 fax). They may have been limited to 15.

• Included in the 15 phone numbers is (301) 350-0384 (Detectives couldn't tell if they were looking at a "9" or a "4" so they subpoenaed both numbers.) If they were limited to 15 numbers, they thought it was worth doubling up on this one.

• BELL ATLANTIC SUBPOENA 1 (for 15 numbers).

• AT&T COURT ORDER compelling AT&T to supply the previously redacted cell tower addresses.

• Crime scene shell casings tested

• Crime Stoppers Liaison -- Mr. Huppman -- requests new flyers be made noting Hae as no longer a missing person, but now a murder victim.

• 11:45PM: Jay starts shift at video store. According to his supervisor.

• Macgillivray and Carew interview WHS Athletic Director Ralph Graham re: the TEC taping featuring Hae Min Lee.

• Undated: Jay's supervisor asks him if he is being interviewed in relation to the Hae Min Lee murder. Jay says yes, and he knows the guy who did it. Jay says that Adnan told him, "No one thinks I did it but I did kill her."

• 1999 MPSSAA Indoor Championships Maryland State, 3A-2A Boys @ Baltimore Armory. Woodlawn High School places Second in State. (They placed first the year before.) Adnan does not compete or attend.

• Track Team: J. Brown, D. Walker, M. MacKenzie, W. McCray, J. Brown, K. Byrd, C. Johnson, C. Woodward, M. Clites, A. Jenkins, A. Thomas, M. Clites, J. Philipalu, Q. Spratt (all placed). There are other members in each category, so 30-40 guys on the team. (Inez testified there were 40-45 "children" on the Indoor Track Team.) - Colin said wrote that there were 8 people on the track team.

• 9:30 AM: Detectives escort Mr. S to the precinct for a second series of polygraphs:

• 11:10AM: 2nd Polygraph Commences

• 1PM: No deception indicated

• 3PM: Detectives fax a follow up to the (February 18) BELL ATLANTIC SUBPOENA 1 (15 phone numbers called from Adnan's cell phone.)

• 4PM: BELL RESPONDS to (Feb 16) BELL ATLANTIC SUBPOENA 1

• Subpoena Response Details

• Weirdly, police would subpoena Bell Atlantic again, on March 1, looking to re-identify four numbers already shown here to belong to Peter, Stephanie, Yaser's home, and (6400).

• O'Shea receives a list of all past entries of Hae's car on the National Crime Information Center Database. O'Shea most likely requested this information while it was still a missing persons case. These entries were made each time law enforcement entered the vehicle details, looking or a hit.

• Crime Stoppers Liaison - Mr. Huppman - receives flyers offering $2,000.00 for information on Hae's KILLER. These flyers were ordered February 19.

• These flyers were meant to be disseminated along with a press release. It looks like these flyers may not have been disseminated. There was no press release. Perhaps these flyers were set aside?

• Police had these flyers at the station. They gave one to Adnan, while he waited to be interviewed, three days after the posters were delivered to Mr. Huppman.

• The reward eventually totaled $3,075.00. Over $2,000.00 came from donations made by members of the Korean community.

• Prior to February 24, the Crimsestoppers posters referenced Hae as a MISSING PERSON.

Thursday, February 25, 1999

• Jay's day off

• Adnan marked Absent all day

• Detectives obtain (4) subpoenas:

• BELL ATLANTIC SUBPOENA 2 for calls made from Adnan's HOME phone.

• BELL ATLANTIC SUBPOENA 3 to determine the owner of [Phil's] phone number. Unfortunately, they get the area code wrong. It looks like they may have wanted this number to be included on the February 18 subpoena, but forgotten to include it.

• TSR PAGER SUBPOENA to determine the owner of [Jen's] Pager number. Detectives get the phone number right, but the provider subpoenaed no longer owns that pager.

• TSR RESPONDS with dated information for that pager number, and says they no longer own the number

• Approximate date: Incorrect Subpoena for WHS School Records or Adnan and Hae. Looks like detectives asked for "Personal Records" and the subpoena came back as "Personnel Records." Since neither Hae nor Adnan worked at Woodlawn High School, the subpoena could not be served. A corrected subpoena was obtained and served after Adnan was arrested. Police were able to get the school records then.

• University of Maryland Baltimore County sends Adnan an acceptance letter. This is the letter received after Adnan was arrested, and delivered to him in prison, by Chris Flohr.

• 4:30-9:30PM: Jay works second job: Drug Emporium
