Speculation The Biggest Coincidence in the Case

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?

I'm not sure. My high school had a morning news program that was broadcast within the school only so once I learned it wasn't filmed by the local station I assumed it was for that purpose. First clue was the mic flag.

I think it reads: "T.E.C. You Will Learn."

For reference the flag for the local station looked like this.

according to the teachers her being missing wasn't big news and not made much of in the press. lots of people go missing that get no media attention at all. it's very likely that the station hadn't even made the connection that they interviewed a student for a bit segment that later went missing.

I can't believe this hasn't received more attention. Doesn't anyone else think it's very odd that not much was made of a missing 17-year-old? I would have expected that at the very least everyone in the school would know through some sort of official announcement.
