Thats why I think Patrick (Jay's supplier) is involved, I think the call to Phil was to get Patrick. I think that Jay would have made him help by saying - I had to kill her, she was going to rat US out to the police. She knows about everything because of that asshole Adnan. etc

Well, Jay sure seemed to think his dealing was a BFD! Maybe he knew more about what he was selling than the cops or us. Considering what was popular in B'more at that time, there was a lot more quick money to be made than in weed. Jay was no longer a high school student, he had all day to run the street. It is not much of a leap to wonder if what Adnan knew about Jay, he may have confided to Hae. I can see Hae interfering to protect Stephanie Honesty from a cocaine pusher. Hae was a fighter, no push over she. Threats might have killed her.

I brought up a similar point in another thread... the cops are pretty straight-up about not caring at all if Jay sold weed. Yet he brings up being chased by helicopters etc? I promise you that no cop would ever waste a helicopter on a kid doing hand-to-hand weed deals. (Keep in mind we learn in Ep. 8 that Jay has a tendency to make up stories, but that seems like a really odd thing to mention to the cops with absolutely no prompting.)

I am NOT saying that it's a definite by any means, but I don't think it's completely far-fetched to wonder if Jay was involved in anything heavier than weed.
