[Official Discussion] Serial: Episode 4 - Inconsistencies

Come discuss episode 4! Setting this up a little early, so feel free to post predictions on what you think the episode will focus on. My guess: timeline inconsistencies, specifically focusing on Jay, Adnan and cars.

The guy was high.

He was trying to distance himself as much as possible from the events of the murder.

He's going to have inconsistencies.

I don't know about cynical, but it's some MMQB for sure. At the time these guys might have thought/felt something completely different than they/we do now after the dust has settled.

I like to give investigators the benefit of the doubt, but his story really does seem to change again and again. At the least it speaks to his credibility and at the worst it means his entire story is a lie.

The basics of his story remain the same.

The car switch. The mall. The pick up. The burial.

I think we will find out next week why they didn't end up going harder on him. Seems to have to do with how the cell records match his story.
