I think that when it comes to download men in the Black community, there's definitely a warning on them that if you mess with those men, something bad could happen to you.

So just inherently...

The nature of that relationship was a risky one, a dangerous one for Jay Lee.

Definitely.

And there was more.

The restaurant worker told them Jay had blocked him on social media.

He did, to a degree, fit the profile of the person that Khalid Fiers told you about, right?

He did.

The man was adamant he had nothing to do with Jay's disappearance.

Detectives let him go, but they weren't done digging.

They also worked to verify his alibi.

Could anybody confirm that he was at home?

Detectives pulled security video from the restaurant where the man worked, and they learned something else.

An hour early, in fact.

A detail he left out during his interview.

Police wondered what else the man might be hiding.

But for police, he was by no means the only person of interest.

Especially after a fellow investigator noticed something on the security video from the Molly Bar Trails apartments where Jay's car was found.

Something the others had missed right there.

A person running out of the apartment complex about nine and a half minutes after Jay's car pulled in.
