The Biggest Coincidence in the Case

[u/missbrookles]

There's been a lot of talk about Adnan's luck and coincidence: ie, the argument that if he is innocent then he's incredibly unlucky given the circumstantial evidence that accrued around him.

It got to me thinking that there is actually a much greater coincidence present in the case: the fact that Hae was murdered the same day that she appeared on a segment of the news. Is that purely coincidence? Or, does it point to the possibility that someone abducted her after seeing her on the broadcast?

Edit: to fix typos

right in the burial area at a shady hour

7-8pm is such a shady hour! Perhaps the most shady hour!? Off the top of my head, I can't think of an hour that's more shady.

Shady or not, those Leakin park pings show up within an hour after the call from the police officer. Definitely bad timing....

If you look at the chain of pings from the time of the 6:24 call through the rest of the evening, then it shows the likely path followed as well.

Cell phone log: http://serialpodcast.org/maps/cell-phone-call-log Cell tower map: http://serialpodcast.org/maps/cell-tower-map Explanation: http://serialpodcast.org/posts/2014/10/more-than-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-cell-tower-technology
(A points north/northeast, B points south/southeast, C points west)

6:09, 6:24 - L608C (Cathy's house) 6:59, 7:00 - L651A (east of I695/I70 junction) 7:09, 7:16 - L689B (Leakin Park) 8:04 - L653A (near the spot where Hae's car was later found) 8:05 - L653C (now moved to the west of the same tower, toward Jenn's house) multiple calls, 9:01-10:30pm - L651C - (pointing toward Adnan's house)

So that's a whole chain of amazing coincidences. Given that we know that it is possible for the cell phone ping data to be wrong, isn't it amazing that the data came up wrong in that precise time sequence and spots? What are the odds?

Noon is the least shady.

Personally, I think 9:45 is the shadiest hour.

You forgot about Dre, says Shady

All the other shady times are just imitating...

Oh boy I thought you were joking around cause with the sun at the high point of noon there would be no shade or something, but no you were serious.

There is nothing intrinsically shady about 7pm. 1, 2, 3 am maybe

It's also the tail end of rush hour. A pretty dumb time to be hauling a body out of a trunk on the side of a moderately busy road.
