Adnan doesn’t remember very much about the day of Hae’s murder, and if he actually did commit the crime, you would remember that day perfectly.
Is adnan syed the killer of the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee? Hae Min Lee was killed one afternoon after school and her body was left in leakin park. Adnan and Hae just broke up so he would be an easy suspect because he would know her schedule best and he would know how to hide it. Her body was left in Leakin park Mr.S found her body a while after being missing for a week and called 911 . I feel Adnan Syed is innocent in all of the cases against Adnan there is a missing piece to all of the stories. First The motive was too easy they thought so they broke up that could be the reason why he killed her because he was so full of rage and sadness. This motive seems as though he had no other reason for killing her, it is just that two unfortunate events happened so close the motive seems
