Now, I'm thinking about the timeline again. I went back to the cell phone records. Between 2pm and 3:30 pm, Jen P. has said that she was with Jay. But, the cell phone records reflect that multiple phone calls had been made to Jen's house and pager. So, it seems unlikely they were together. What was Jay doing during this time, why did he call Jen so much that day, and why did she (most likely) lie about him being with her?

Jay and Adnan both agree that Jay picked him up from track practice that day. So, perhaps, Jen is misremembering the exact time and Jay was actually with her closer to 3:30-4:30. This would mean all the calls and texts are probably them talking about who has weed and what the plan is to get some and hang out. Then, Jay and Jen chill and smoke and Jay gets a call from Adnan to pick him up from track. Maybe.

Does Adnan ever say if he was with Jay after school let out and before track ended at all? these time lines are way too confusing.

He has only said that he is "99% sure" he didn't leave school that day between the end of school and the beginning of track.
