'Serial' Suspect Jay Wilds Gives First Interview, Tells His Story

Serial is the podcast that has been taking the world by storm over the past few months and now, Jay Wilds, one of the key suspects at the center of the mystery is speaking out for the first time.

The podcast follows the murder of Hae Min Lee, an 18-year-old high school student in Baltimore who went missing and was found a month later dead in a nearby park. Her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed was found guilty of murdering her and is currently serving a life sentence.

Jay Wilds, a former classmate of Adnan‘s, was the key witness in the case and without his testimony, it would have been virtually impossible to bring his friend to trial.

Now for the first time, Jay is speaking out about Serial, for which he declined to be formally interviewed. He says he was “unfairly depicted by [host and producer Sarah] Koenig and that she painted a highly misleading portrayal of him and his role in the case.”
