The SERIAL Podcast 2014. Season One was hosted and narrated by journalist Sarah Koenig. It focused on the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee. She was found strangled to death and lying inside a shallow grave at the well-known "Leakin Park" (Baltimore, Maryland). Her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed was charged with her murder. He was convicted and sentenced to "life" in prison. He always maintained his innocence....
Monday Sept. 19, 2022. Adnan's murder conviction has been vacated by a Maryland Judge. He was set free from prison and has to wait 30 days to see if prosecutors will re-charge him with murder.
The SERIAL Podcast aired from October through December in 2014 over 12 episodes. It became a huge phenomenon hitting 80-Million online downloads by February 2015.
Its' popularity produced an HBO documentary, a novel and countless news stories. Rumors of a possible movie production never materialized.
I listened to the 12 episodes three times. It had everything a murder mystery can have involving intrigue, lies, suppressed witnesses and a possible suspect other than Adnan. SERIAL covered it all including his ineffective defense counsel, the old 1999 cell phone evidence and those missing hours of police officer interviews. Most important is the man who claimed to be Adnan's accomplice. His story has changed numerous times since 1999.
The question is, "Who killed Hae Min Lee"?
