There is a specific point where I became involved in this. РІР‚СљAnything thatРІР‚в„ўs going to make innocent doesnРІР‚в„ўt involve me. РІР‚Сљhis guy drove up in front of my grandmotherРІР‚в„ўs house, popped the trunk, and had his dead girlfriend in the trunk,РІР‚Сњ said Wilds.

But like the two producersРІР‚в„ў on-tape reactions, Wilds recalled a tense meeting, during which he claims Koenig said there was new evidence in the case - though he told her that nothing would change what he saw. Wilds never spoke on the record for the podcast, and the events of this meeting wereР’В only rehashed by Snyder andР’В Koenig afterwards in episode eight. Wilds also recalled his tense meeting with Koenig and РІР‚СљSerialРІР‚Сњ co-producer Julie Snyder, who showed up at his home unannounced in late August or early September. So, for the most part, weРІР‚в„ўve been really protective about our privacy.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљBecause I eventually cooperated with the police and testified, I know that there are people back home who would consider me a snitch and would hurt me. РІР‚СљMy wife knows about my involvement in this case,РІР‚Сњ Wilds said. That desire to protect those close to him has returned in the wake of the showРІР‚в„ўs success. But, now, WildsР’В explainsР’В that at the time he stonewalled and misled policeР’В out of a desire to protect himself (he was selling weed at the time) and any friends or family who could possibly be implicated in the murder. This information comes on the heels of WildsРІР‚в„ў revelation in part oneР’В that Syed showed him LeeРІР‚в„ўs body not in the Best Buy parking lot, like he told police, but outside of his grandmotherРІР‚в„ўs house.Р’В Such inconsistencies, which markedР’В WildsРІР‚в„ў initial interviews with detectives and subsequent testimony, were a crucial part of РІР‚СљSerialРІР‚Сњ host Sarah KoenigРІР‚в„ўs dismantling of the stateРІР‚в„ўs case against Syed. BРІР‚в„ўs position or role at the mosque, they did confirm with two sources that he pleaded the fifth during the grand jury testimony. While The Intercept was unable to confirm Mr. I believe itРІР‚в„ўs possible that heРІР‚в„ўs the person who made the anonymous call to the police saying to check into Adnan.РІР‚Сњ had some information that we donРІР‚в„ўt have, possibly because he was a religious leader at the mosque, and Adnan talked to him like a priest taking a confession. РІР‚СљSo that whatever he knew about Adnan, he knew that if he said it in court he could also be in trouble,РІР‚Сњ Wilds said.

B spoke with detectives during the investigation, according to Wilds, but when he was called to the stand, he pleaded the fifth amendment. Speaking with The Intercept, Wilds said his assumption was based off a grand jury hearing, during which a man referred to as Mr. InР’В part two of his first public interviewР’В since the conclusion of the hit podcast РІР‚СљSerial,РІР‚Сњ Jay Wilds, the stateРІР‚в„ўs key witness in the case against Adnan Syed, said he believes a РІР‚Сљspiritual leaderРІР‚Сњ at SyedРІР‚в„ўs mosque anonymously tipped the police off to SyedРІР‚в„ўs involvement in the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 1999.
