This is the series where my enthusiasm for podcasts began. The suspense is CRAZY. I used to bike to work for 45 minutes listening to episodes of Serial, man did I regret arriving at work before I finished an episode! This podcast is made by the creators of This American Life.
A high-school senior named Hae Min Lee disappeared one day after school in 1999, in Baltimore County, Maryland. A month later, her body was found in a city park. She’d been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested for the crime, and within a year, he was sentenced to life in prison. The case against him was largely based on the story of one witness, Adnan’s friend Jay, who testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae’s body. But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with Hae’s death. Some people believe he’s telling the truth. Many others don’t.
