Adnan Syed, The Murder At least one third of all female homicide victims in the U.S. are killed by male intimate partners — husbands and ex-husbands, boyfriends and estranged lovers. A couple weeks after a recently ended relationship with Adnan Syed, Hae Lee disappeared on January 13, 1999. In the podcast Serial, Sarah Koenig tells the story of how Adnan Syed killed Hae Lee and the motive behind the murder. Adnan Syed killed Hae Lee because of his terrible personality mixed with a recently-ended relationship.
Adnan had the motive to kill Hae Lee. One of his motives were that Hae Lee broke Adnan’s heart. Just this reason could have easily pushed Adnan over the edge as Sarah says in the podcast. “And the motive the State supplied, the basis …show more content…
Adnan says he literally cannot remember anything from that afternoon which is very weird because when a big event happens in a person’s life, for example a murder, people remember exactly what they were doing, where they were, and who they were with at the time of the big event. “But it seems like I remember things that are beneficial to me, but things that aren 't beneficial to me I can 't remember. It 's just that I don 't really know what to say beyond the fact that a lot of the day that I do remember, it 's bits and pieces that comes from what other people have said that they remember, right?” (Koenig, “The Alibi”). This quote from Adnan does not make one bit of sense. How doesn 't Adnan remember where he was at and what he was doing during the time of his just recently murdered ex-girlfriend? He also has no recollection of what he was doing during the time of the murder so he has no alibi. “The problem is, when you ask Adnan to go back and tell his version of what happened that day, to refute Jay 's story, everything becomes a lot mushier. Yes, he hung out with Jay on the 13th, both during and after school. But he doesn 't remember exactly where they went, or what they did, or what time it was.” (Koenig, “The Alibi”). It doesn 't make sense how Adnan can’t remember where he was, what he was doing the day, and the time that his ex-girlfriend went missing. There 's …show more content…
He plays the good Muslim son at home and at the mosque, but look what he was up to. Saad remembers the prosecutor 's closing argument at trial.” (Koenig, “The Breakup”) Not only is he duplicitous but it doesn 't make sense to me that how such a nice and perfect kid could steal money from his church. “Adnan stole money from the mosque. Donation money. I heard various version on how this happened, or could have happened. But from what I can tell, the basic story is: people who come to pray on Fridays, and it is a lot of people, many hundreds, some of them put donation money into boxes. That’s what Adnan skimmed. Two people told me they saw him do it. One person told me he’d seen it several times - he wouldn’t go on tape - but the other guy did.”(Koeng, “Rumors”). This just shows how Adnan is capable of committing a crime and how he has no remorse for what he does. It also doesn 't make sense how Adnan can be so calm when he is convicted of committing a murder. Adnan should be furious that he was wrongly convicted. “Once, early on, I asked Adnan, “If you’re saying you’re innocent, why aren’t you bitter and angry, why do you sound so calm?” And he said a lot of things, then and since, because there’s no one answer. Part of it he says is that he realizes how lucky he
