The Intricacies In Episode 4 Of Serial

In Episode 4 of Serial, there are many inconsistencies within the stories that are testified. Jay is very unclear and indecisive. Jen, a new person who testifies, is also unclear, and is suddenly the missing piece everyone has been looking for in the case. She brings more evidence, and does not seem to have helped much. There are many inconsistencies in this episode, and there are still many missing pieces to be found, and explained. One larger inconsistency is the changing of Jay’s story. Jay has many different parts of his story, and in every interview they seem to change. In his first interview he told the police that he first seen Hae’s dead body at a strip. In the second interview, Jay claims to have seen the body first at Best Buy. He claims to have lied about that because he was worried about cameras at Best Buy. Jay said if he had kept his story about seeing the body at Best Buy, they would have checked the cameras, but would that not have helped him? If Jay was in fact telling the truth, and had nothing to do with Hae’s killing, then the cameras would have helped him. This was one testimony that was important, and hard to determine whether it was the truth or not.
At first, he claimed to have only helped Adnan bury Hae’s body. He said he did not help with the murder at all, but just the burial. When asked again, Jay said he did not do anything at all. He claimed to have only seen the body, but did not help bury it. Jen also said this, and confirmed that Jay claimed to have not help at all. Did Jay change his story to match Jen’s story, or was it the actual truth? If Jay actually did not bury her, then why would he say he did help in the first place? He also said that he thought all of this was wrong, but did not take any action to inform the police. Make sense? No. Involvement of the burial was all jumbled up, and nobody could seem to figure it
