The Case Against Adnan Syed - Episode 4: Time is the Killer

Jay Wilds initially testified that Adnan showed him Hae Min Lee's body in the trunk of her car in the BestBuy parking lot. Where did he tell the documentary filmmakers that he first saw her body?

• His house

• The library

• Best Buy

• Woodlawn High School

Why did Jay say he mentioned the Best Buy location at the first trial?

• He forgot the real location

• The police told him to

• Adnan told him to say that

• He wanted to protect someone else

Jay told documentary filmmakers that Adnan blackmailed (extorted) him into helping him bury Hae Min Lee. What did he say Adnan used as leverage over him?

• The fact that he negotiated the sale of an unlicensed gun for Adnan

• The fact that Jay stole money from Adnan's Mosque

• The fact that he negotiated the sale of 10 lbs of marijuana for Adnan

• The fact that he stole a car for Adnan

During the final episode another motivation for getting Adnan out of prison as quickly as possible was presented. It involved his mother’s health. What disease is Adnan's mother suffering from?

• Diabetes

• Alzheimer's

• Leukemia

• Parkinson's

What injury on Hae's body indicated strangulation?

• Broken fingernail

• Broken hyoid (neck) bone

• Contusion on her arm

• Hemorrhage in her eye

The independent medical examiner in episode 4  viewed Hae Min Lee’s Autopsy report and photographs and disagreed with the prosecution’s theory on how Hae was murdered in her car. Which of the following best explains her reasoning?  

• No blood in the car

• No signs of struggle on her body. No bruises, cuts, or broken fingernails

• No oil or automotive grease on the body

• Her car was never located so no one could know where she died

The prosecution in the case claimed that Hae Min Lee was murdered around 2:30pm and buried around 7:30pm, taking approximately five hours to transpire. What did the independent medical examiner point out about Hae’s body that contradicts this theory? 

• • Rigor mortis (muscle stiffening) was never present 

• • The cuts and bruises on her body were partially healed

• • The Lividity patterns (Blood pooling) would take 8-12 hours to be in the fixed state that they were found. 

• Algor mortis (body temperature) was too cold to have only been five hours since death.

What tool, that Alonzo Sellers might have had access to, could potentially explain the double diamond shape pattern on Hae's body?

• A car jack

• A concrete grinder

• A welding tool

• A wood cutter

How far did Alonzo Sellers live from Woodlawn High School?

• A five-minute walk

• 15 miles away

• Not close, but he did live across the street from Hae Min Lee

• A 30-minute drive

• The soil and grass scientist’s tests on the grass beneath Hae Min Lee’s car was inconclusive, however he did point out certain details in the photographs that led him to believe the car had only been parked there less than a week. What were the details that indicated this? (Pick two answers)

• The car was freshly washed and waxed and there was a fresh pine tree air freshener on the rearview mirror

• There was dead grass and dirt on the tires and there had been a lot of rain in the 46 days that Hae had been missing. The tires should have been washed clean with the rain

• The tire tracks in the mud looked fresh

• There were fresh fingerprints on the steering wheel and radio buttons
