Most true crime fans are familiar with the Adnan Syed case due to the wildly popular podcast "Serial", which covered the case in-depth back in 2014. This case involves the disappearance and murder of 18-year-old high school senior Hae Min Lee in January 1999. We believe that Adnan Syed, the 17-year-old ex-boyfriend of Hae who was convicted of her murder, is completely innocent and has spent the last 22 years wrongly convicted. Join us in part one of this exciting two-part episode as we discuss this frustrating case using shocking details from 'Serial', the follow-up podcast 'Undisclosed', the HBO documentary "The Case Against Adnan Syed" and the book "Adnan's Story: The Search for Truth and Justice After Serial".
Use the hashtag #FreeAdnan to join the fight for justice in this case.
