Regardless of how you feel about the "Serial" podcast, it's undeniably true that the show has sparked an intense public fascination with its central story: whether or not convicted murderer Adnan Syed is guilty of killing his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. And while not everyone can be expected to get swept up in this frenzy, if you are interested in gaining more insight into this crime, Serial's Internet Archive page offers a trove of supplementary materials for review. Beyond just Serial episodes themselves, there are court testimonies, maps and photographs related to Lee's murder investigation, and secondary materials that explore topics like Syed's trial defense strategies. But perhaps most interesting of all is the wealth of data that was used by Serial 's producers to conduct the investigation that led to the podcast, which has since been made available in open-source formats. Serial's "Evidence Page" is a treasure trove of data about the case, with over 427 documents listed encompassing everything from investigative reports to witness statements. Of particular interest are "Maps of Woodlawn High School and Adnan Syed's House," "Police Analysis on Woodlawn Tracfones" and transcripts of six police interviews with Syed himself. Much can be gleaned from even a cursory inspection of these materials. For instance, the "Maps" and "Police Analysis" pages provide a clear picture of the dramatic growth and development of digital communications technology over the course of Lee's murder investigation, from its humble beginnings as a primitive two-way pager system to the far more sophisticated cellular networks that exist today. The trail of digital breadcrumbs left by Lee's murderer shows that he progressively upgraded his communication devices as new features were released. In an effort to conceal his involvement in Lee's death, Syed used a Nokia pay-as-you-go phone – a far cry from smartphones – which was only capable of making voice calls and sending text messages, but could not send or receive emails or take pictures. The phone was eventually traced to an outlet store in Woodlawn, Maryland where its purchase was traced back to Syed's relative, but the data that the police collected from the device was relatively limited. The same could not be said for Syed's subsequent upgrade to a Motorola StarTAC flip-phone. By this point, cell phones were starting to come equipped with cameras, but it would be seven more years before smartphones finally took off. And while devices like this could still only send texts and make phone calls, they were far more advanced than the first generation of digital phones due to their ability to receive emails and access websites. Furthermore, the police analysis of the Woodlawn school social network used to track Lee's final movements prior to her murder provides a glimpse into the early evolution of smartphones through the use of their internet browsers, which enabled Syed to conduct his own internet research on his phone. A similar feature enabled Syed to quickly access a closed website that included Lee's face along with a brief biography and contact information for all of her friends. The Map of Woodlawn High School shows that Woodlawn was built in the early 1900s, which means that most students who attended there were younger than 30 years old in 1999, when Syed was 15 years old and Lee was 17. eccc085e13
