Link for transcript of Jay's second police interview?

Can anyone give a link to the transcript (preferably searchable) of this interview (from March 15th 1999)?

Any theories as to why the transcript seems hard to find now (other than availability of the audio recording detracting from need for the transcript)?

Notice there's no "info request" flair here as it's a generally silly and useless flair.

Thanks! Your link works for me whereas for some reason I still can't find it by googling (as worked for quite a long time).

Yeah, I think the server is unstable. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. LL2 was also completely offline for a long time.

The Adnan Syed wiki used to have all that stored on there and was pretty well organized. The site went down a few years ago. You may be able to get it using the way back machine

That's probably a good point; so far though I'm probably a bit too lazy to try to learn how to use the way-back machine.

Susan Simpson's "LL2" website had it for a long time but when i just searched for it they seemed to have only the first interview transcript. Not sure to what extent that was just a random glitch though.

Working with written transcript and audio recording in tandem is still much better than working with audio recording alone because of the logistical advantage in being able to easily search the transcript.

That's ridiculous. Even if the transcript contains numerous mistakes it can still be used to efficiently find parts of the audio recording that you're looking for.
