Hae Min Lee, an 18-year-old Woodlawn High School student and athlete, disappeared on January 13, 1999, after leaving school to pick up her younger cousin from daycare. She never arrived and was reported missing that evening. Nearly a month later, on February 9, 1999, a man found her partially buried body in Baltimore’s Leakin Park. An autopsy ruled the cause of death manual strangulation and the manner of death homicide.

Investigators focused early on Lee’s 17-year-old ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed after an anonymous tip. A friend, Jay Wilds, told police Syed had confessed and that Wilds helped bury the body; Wilds later pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and received probation. Syed was arrested, tried twice, convicted in February 2000 of first-degree murder and related charges, and sentenced to life plus 30 years. The prosecution argued jealousy over the breakup as motive; the case relied heavily on circumstantial evidence and Wilds’ testimony, with no physical evidence directly linking Syed to the killing.

Does anyone have information about Hae’s last day at school or remember seeing her after classes on January 13, 1999?
