Serial Episode 4

Inconsistencies

           In episode 4 Jay keeps changing his story from what he told the police some are minor details and some are major ones. One of the major ones is that Jay initially told the cops that he met Adnan in a strip but then in the next tape he says that he met Adnan in the parking lot of Best Buy. When the police confront his lies he admits to them and Jay says he thought the Best Buy had video cameras so he didn't want them to see it. That raises a red flag to me because if in fact Adnan did kill Hae in the parking lot wouldn't you want the police to see the video so they could see that Adnan had killed Hae? And why would you take so much precaution to get rid of all the clothes you were wearing if you just dug the hole? I understand that you would want to get your prints off the shovel but wouldn't you have used that as your evidence to say yes I helped Adnan dig the hole and they would see that he dug the hole as well. I found it pretty coincidental how Jay changed his story to match with Jen's after he had first said he went to the strip. Every time the cops catch Jay in a lie he repeats the same line "To the best that I can remember." Of course all the information he says is making him look good. I feel like Jay is lying there is no way you forget where you saw a dead body that's a significant event that would forever haunt you. And if he was in fact a credible source he wouldn't have changed his story to the police so many times he would have stuck with the same story. I feel like these police officers aren't doing the best job they can because they should had brought the evidence to forensics and they could have checked every single lead which they didn't they just judged the case since day one and did everything they could to get Adnan into jail.
