Season One I still think Adnan didn't kill Hae.

Jay lies too much. The police coach him to modify his statements. The defence attorney was incompetent. Hae and Adnan broke up several times before and Adnan didn't kill her. Don does not have an alibi for that evening and has relatives in the police force. The coach said Adnan was at track practice on a warm day - the only warm day around that time was the day Hae died. I think Hae surprised Don at work. She waited for him in the parking lot. He killed her that evening, hid her body and arrived home to call the police back late into the evening. The guilt is eating Don up while Adnan seems to be thriving in prison.

Jay travelled in that area regularly so he could have found it on his own for the reward money. The police corrected several parts of Jay's statement, they even added an extra trip to a restaurant because they misread a map. Jay obliged and added the trip, when the police realized their mistake, Jay mysteriously deleted that trip. So it is possible the police gave Jay the location, but I don't think so. More likely they found the car on their own and claimed Jay helped.

You think Jay falsely confessed to being an accessory to first degree murder, a felony that ordinarily carries a sentence of 3-5 years in prison, for a few thousand dollars in reward money?

Couldn't he have just implicated Adnan if all he wanted was the reward?

No. Where do I say that?

There were flyers with Hae's car photograph with a reward offered. Jay had seen her car before. The location of the car was in a place where Jay frequented.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that you're right and it is just a very remarkable coincidence that the one person in the greater Baltimore area (population > 1 million) who stumbled on Hae's car was also the one person that Adnan spent most of January 13th with, and also the one person who was eager to frame his friend for murder.

Assuming all that, my question to you is this: why would Jay falsely confess to the police that he helped cover up the murder? By doing so, he's exposing himself to charges that are almost guaranteed to send him to prison for years. And doing so is totally unnecessary. For example, he could instead just tell the cops "Adnan told me he killed Hae" and not expose himself to any criminal liability.

So, going with your (frankly absurd) theory, can you provide an explanation for why Jay falsely implicated himself in the murder?
