Adnan Syed / Hae Min Lee

Adnan Syed was convicted in 2000 of murdering his ex-girlfriend, 18-year-old Hae Min Lee, who disappeared from her Baltimore high school on January 13, 1999. Her body was found in Leakin Park six weeks later. The Serial podcast's 2014 investigation reignited national debate about the reliability of the evidence. In 2022, Syed's conviction was vacated and he was released; in 2023, charges were dropped.
