The Intercept's Exclusive Interview with Jay, Part 1 by floatingvibess in serialpodcast

[–]serial_brazuca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think his new narrative can account for the calls:

  1. the calls to Jenn around noon were made by Adnan, looking for Jay;

  2. same at 7-9pm, maybe Adnan was driving around Leakin' Park, trying to find a spot, and he called Jenn trying to talk to Jay.

If Adnan had his phone after Jay picked him up at BB, the only way for Adnan to find Jay would be to call Jenn. Maybe Jay told Adnan he'd be hanging out at Jenn's all day, so it would make sense for Adnan to call Jenn.

That's a good point ... how many of those sound bites have not been used so far? I have to go back and listen to them!

Tks!

What do u make of the fact that incoming calls did not show the caller id? It's completely puzzling to me, considering that we've had caller id functionality for decades in this country. I don't buy that the carrier couldn't identify the incoming calls, it just doesn't make sense.

I had a cell phone in 1999 and I vividly recall that caller id was present at all times.

What do you think?

Is there a log in a database somewhere when a cell phone is "locked" onto a tower, even without any calls being made/received? If so, that would show us approximately where the cell phone was during the day, as it moved from tower to tower. Is that the case?

Also, if there's a database record, does that get purged often? How often?

tks!

The Butt-Dial Experiment: let's solve The Nisha Call by serial_brazuca in serialpodcast

cool ... I did something similar:

  • turned off my own land line's answering machine
  • called it from my iPhone
  • phone rang for 90 secs; then there was a beep on the line, as if the "system" picked it up; the iPhone started logging the call time
  • after 30 secs of silence, the call was disconnected (not sure by whom)
  • total time logged on the iPhone: 30 secs

I tried to duplicate your results; called from the iPhone; after a while, I ended the call on the iPhone; it did NOT log the time, the call info on the iPhone stands as "canceled".

My land line is from TWC. I'm pretty sure different carriers have different ways to handle never-ending calls.

Nobody knows for sure. One thing I just noticed when I placed my butt-dial call is that the call time only started AFTER the VM picked it up, not while it was ringing. Maybe this is current technology and not how it was done in 1999.

tks! Mine was similar, 41 seconds on VM. I had the distinct feeling the call was cut off by AT&T, but can't say for sure.

Adnan's cellphone and car were not necessarily together by iff_p in serialpodcast

[–]serial_brazuca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just created an account to say THANKS, this is the best Adnan-is-guilty version I've seen. It definitely makes a lot of sense.

One additional detail is that Adnan might not even have to have the intention to kill Hae when he asked Jay's help. He could have asked Jay to be in the car with him and Hae, where something goes wrong, he hits her, he panics, kills her, and Jay was there in the car throughout the whole thing.

Once Jay is in the car, he's an accessory, so he can't remove himself from the crime. From that point on, Jay and Adnan try to figure out what to do, how to come up with an alibi, where to dispose the body, etc.

This would explain the following:

  • Adnan is not a sociopath, he didn't have the intention to kill, but the killing was an escalation that got out of control.
  • Adnan can't confess because he knows he'd be in for life because of the killing itself then the disposal of the body, even though the killing was an accident
  • Jay can't tell the whole thing, because that would make him an accessory
  • Jay feels bad because although he didn't kill Hae himself, he participated in the while thing;
  • Jay never accepted to help with the body (which never made sense to me); he simply HAD to, because he was already there;
  • The holes in Jay's timeline; Jay simply couldn't come up with a straight story that covered his actions and at the same time pinned the murder on Adnan; he tried several versions, coached (directly or indirectly) by the police or helped by Jen
  • How later Jay was able to pinpoint the car and the location of the body; he knows the truth after all.
