Love and Murder Nobel prize winner, Knut Hamsun once said, “love is every bit as violent and dangerous as murder.” In the real life case presented in the podcast series, Serial, officials claim that Adnan Syed’s motive was simply love, a dangerous, violent love. With that being said, it is well knew that love can sometimes drive people to do the unthinkable; murder. In Adnan’s case officers say that the love he had for Hae influenced his actions, and he decided to take her life.

The podcast producer and reporter do the exact route said to be taken from the high school to Best Buy, and it take them 22 minutes and 2 seconds. So yes, it's possible but not to likely. If Adnan was capable of this he would have had to get everything perfect, assuming there was no complications with traffic or anything like that, he would have had to kill her in approximately a 1 minute (some argue it takes 5) that's amazing assuming 17 year old Adnan has never killed before, let alone with his bare hands. So if the time of death and the time of the phone calls are by chance right, it's still a super narrow window for all of this to happen.

Another reason that leads me to believe that Adnan is innocent is the said to be locations and timing of when and where the murder was committed.First of all, think about the fact that this murder was committed in the afternoon around 3:00 o’clock, broad daylight. Don’t you think someone would see ? Theories are that the murder either took place at a pool hall, maybe around the high school or even a Best Buy parking lot, where Jay claims he saw Hae’s body in the trunk of a car. If that's the case, all locations pan out to be public places, someone, anyone could've saw it
