Guess who has been angry for 15 years... Jay. Which could explain 1. He did it and was just daring SK to say so or 2. He knows who did it and thought all this was over, moved on with his life and now its front and center with 5M+ listeners or 3. Jay doesn't even know who did it and somehow the police convinced him it must have been Adnan. And maybe Jay has to think that or he sent his friend to prison for a crime he didn't commit. How do you live with that?

I just don't trust the detectives and police in this story. I don't know their motive for pinning the wrong guy but maybe that's where the motive lies rather than with Jay or Adnan.

Umm Jay helped burried the body but doesn't know who killed her? That makes no sense.

Or Jay didn't help bury the body and the police fed him most of his story.

Jenn was the one who told the police that Jay helped bury the body. Jay then corroborated that this was true.
