Beyond Serial:The Case Against Adnan Syed
We have a special episode for you today! You might call it a passion project. It’s Kristin’s birthday week and for her birthday, she decided this episode was going to be her genie wish case - you know, the one case you would spend a genie wish on to find out exactly what happened.
We all know the case - it’s been covered extensively in podcasts like Serial, HBO documentaries, books, blogs, etc - January 13, 1999, High school student Hae Min Lee was murdered. Her body was found almost a month later, half buried in Leakin Park in Baltimore. Her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, is serving a life sentence for her murder, but we all have QUESTIONS.
This won’t be a total recap of Serial. Instead, Kristin takes Mogab BEYOND Serial, diving into everything Serial left out or didn’t uncover. Let’s get into it!
